WeissLaw is investigating whether ELLI's Board acted to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement.  Notably, at least one analyst set a target price of $135.00 per ELLI share, or $36.00 above the offer price.  Additionally, the offer price is also nearly $18.00 less than the Company's 52-week high of $116.90. 

Moreover, ELLI announced positive financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended 2018.  It reported revenue of $116 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, representing increase of $3.1 million year-over-year when compared to the $112.9 million reported in the same period of the previous year. ELLI also reported revenue of $480.3 million for fiscal year 2018, representing increase of $63.3 million when compared to the $417 million reported in 2017.

Given these facts, WeissLaw is concentrating its investigation on whether ELLI's Board conducted a fair process in agreeing to the proposed acquisition, whether the proposed acquisition undervalues the Company, and whether all material information related to the proposed acquisition is fully and fairly disclosed.
