Johnson & Weaver, LLP Files Class Action Suit Against Power-One, Inc.
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Johnson & Weaver, LLP ("Johnson & Weaver") (www.johnsonandweaver.com) today announced that it filed a class action in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of shareholders of Power-One, Inc. ("Power-One"), seeking remedies under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act").
The complaint charges Power-One and its Board of Directors (the "Board") with violations of the Act. On April 22, 2013, the Board announced its agreement to a merger transaction in which Power-One will be acquired by Verdi Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of ABB Ltd., for $6.35 per share in cash or $1.028 million equity value (the "Merger").
The complaint alleges the Board filed materially false and misleading proxy statements describing the Merger with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2013 and June 20, 2013, that were intended to induce Power-One's shareholders to approve the Merger. The complaint further alleges that the proposed consideration to be paid to Power-One's shareholders in the Merger is below the fair value of Power-One, and that the members of the Board breached their fiduciary duties by agreeing to the unfair Merger, the terms of which include deal protection devices that prevent alternative transactions.
