Del Monte Foods Co. (DLM) shareholders have added Barclays Capital, the company's financial adviser, to a lawsuit aimed at blocking a $5.3 billion takeover led by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., Bloomberg News reported Tuesday.
The shareholders' law firm, Grant & Eisenhofer, told the Delaware Chancery Court of the move in a letter dated Feb. 18. San Francisco-based Del Monte also said it will seek buyout offers after a judge on the Delaware court ruled that the sale be delayed, according to Bloomberg's report.
The judge, Vice Chancellor Travis Laster, said in a Feb. 14 decision that Barclays, in pursuit of fees in its other role as the deal's financier, "secretly and selfishly manipulated the sale process."
Laster postponed a shareholder vote on the deal 20 days, to March 7, to give more time to consider the latest developments, but he didn't block the deal.
Barclays, a unit of Barclays PLC (BCS, BARC.LN), said in an emailed statement: "We look forward to the opportunity to set the record straight in court." Barclays noted that it wasn't named as a defendant when the judge made his ruling, "and as a result, has not had the opportunity to provide the court with all of the facts relating to its work for Del Monte or refute the plaintiffs' version of events."
