NEW YORK, May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Milberg LLP is
investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other
violations of law in connection with the proposed acquisition of
FEI Company (NASDAQ: FEIC) ("FEI") by Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.
(NYSE: TMO) ("Thermo Fisher").
On May 27, 2016, Thermo Fisher and FEI announced that their
boards of directors had unanimously approved Thermo Fisher's acquisition of FEI for
$107.50 per share in cash. The
transaction represents a purchase price of approximately
$4.2 billion. However, the
approximately $107.50 merger
consideration is well below at least one analyst target price of
$115.00 per share.
Milberg LLP's investigation is focusing on the potential
unfairness of the consideration being provided to FEI's
stockholders and the process by which FEI's Board of Directors
considered and approved the proposed deal.
Concerned investors are invited to contact the Milberg attorneys
listed below to discuss the investigation, their rights, and/or
potential remedies.
