Is the Proposed Acquisition Best for Monster Worldwide and Its Shareholders?

Robbins Arroyo LLP's investigation focuses on whether the board of directors at Monster Worldwide is undertaking a fair process to obtain maximum value and adequately compensate its shareholders.

As an initial matter, the $3.40 merger consideration represents a premium of only 22.70% based on Monster Worldwide's closing price on August 8, 2016. This premium is significantly below the average one day premium of nearly 40.63% for comparable transactions within the past three years. Further, the $3.40 merger consideration is significantly below the target price of $4.00 set by an analyst at Evercore ISI on May 9, 2016, the target price of $4.00 set by an analyst at Piper Jaffray on May 6, 2016, and the target price of $3.50 set by an analyst at B Riley & Co on February 12, 2016. In the last three years, Monster Worldwide traded as high as $8.50 on March 7, 2014, and most recently traded above the merger consideration – at $3.48 – on April 28, 2016.

Monster Worldwide shareholders have the option to file a class action lawsuit to ensure the board of directors obtains the best possible price for shareholders and the disclosure of material information.
