Fleematics Group PLC Acquisition May Not Be in the Best Interests of FLTX Shareholders

NEW YORK, Aug. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- WeissLaw LLP is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of Fleematics Group PLC ("FLTX" or the "Company") in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company by Verizon Communications Inc. ("Verizon").  On August 1, 2016, the Company announced that it had reached a definitive agreement for Verizon to acquire all outstanding shares of FLTX in a transaction valued at approximately $2.4 billion.  Under the terms of the agreement, FLTX shareholders will receive $60.00 in cash for each FLTX share they own. 

WeissLaw is investigating whether FLTX's Board acted to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement.  Notably, at least one analyst set a target price of $64.00, or $4.00 above the offer price.  Additionally, FLTX shares traded for $62.86 as recently as December of 2015. 

Given these facts, WeissLaw is investigating whether FLTX's Board acted in the best interests of FLTX's public shareholders to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement.  If you own FLTX shares and would like more information about your rights or our investigation, or if you have information to share with us, please contact Joshua Rubin by telephone at [phone] or by email at [e-mail].
