Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Plains Exploration & Production Company - PXP
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Plains Exploration & Production Company ("Plains Exploration" or the "Company") (NYS: PXP) (ISIN: US7265051000) concerning the proposed acquisition of Plains Exploration by Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. in a transaction valued at approximately $6.9 billion in cash.
The investigation concerns whether the Plains Exploration directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and maximize shareholder value. Under the terms of the agreement, Plains Exploration shareholders will be entitled to receive $25.00 per share in cash and 0.6531 shares of common stock for each Plains Exploration share, currently valued at $50.00 per share. However, analysts' estimates had target prices of $60.00 to $70.00 per share.
Plains Exploration 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. 237.
