NEW YORK, May 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is
investigating claims on behalf of investors of American Capital
Ltd. ("American Capital" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ACAS)
(ISIN: US0250341038) (CUSIP: 025034103) concerning the proposed
acquisition of American Capital by Ares Capital Corporation ("Ares
Capital").
American Capital shareholders seeking more information about
this acquisition are advised to contact Robert Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or
212-661-1100 or 888-476-6529, ext. 9980.
The investigation concerns whether the American Capital
directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to
adequately maximize shareholder value. Under the terms of the
proposed transaction, American Capital shareholders will be
entitled to receive $6.41 in cash per
share, plus 0.483 Ares Capital shares for each share of American
Capital common stock.
However, an analyst recently set a price target for American
Capital at $18.00 per share.
Moreover, Total Revenue, Total Assets, and Book Value are below the
average of comparable transactions, according to a Bloomberg
analysis.

York, Chicago, Florida, and Los
