SAN DIEGO, May 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights
law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into
whether the board members of RPX Corporation. (NASDAQ: RPXC) ("RPX)
breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed
sale of the Company to HGGC. RPX provides patent risk management
and discovery services in the United
States, Japan, South Korea, and internationally.
On May 1, 2018, RPX announced that
it had signed a definitive merger agreement with HGGC. Under the
terms of the agreement, HGGC will initiate a tender offer for RPX
shares at a price of $10.50 per share
in cash.
The investigation concerns whether the RPX board failed to
satisfy its duties to the Company shareholders, including whether
the board adequately pursued alternatives to the merger and whether
the board obtained the best price possible for RPX shareholders.
Nationally recognized Johnson
Fistel is investigating whether the proposed deal represents
adequate consideration, especially given one Wall Street analyst
has a $16.00 price target on the
stock. The 52-week high for RPX was $15.15. Additionally, RPX has over
$159 million in cash and no long-term
debt.
If you are a shareholder of RPX and believe the
proposed sale price is too low or you're interested in learning
more about the investigation or your legal rights and remedies,
please contact lead analyst Jim
Baker (jimb@johnsonfistel.com) at 619-814-4471. If emailing,
