The Mayflower sale investigation centers on whether Mayflower’s shareholders are receiving adequate compensation for their shares in the proposed deal, whether the transaction undervalues Mayflower’s stock, and whether Mayflower’s board attempted to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders prior to agreeing to the deal. According to shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe, “Due to the nature of the election between cash and stock options, the size of the deal, the lack of a significant premium and other factors, we believe this transaction may undervalue Mayflower’s stock. Our proposed lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders.”
