Law Firm Brower Piven Announces Investigation in Connection With Midas, Inc. Buyout

The law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty to current shareholders of Midas, Inc. (NYSE: MDS) (“Midas”) and other violations of state law by the board of directors of Midas relating to the proposed buyout of the company by the privately owned TBC Corporation (“TBC”), a company of Sumitimo Corporation of America. The firm’s investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the board breached its fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value.

On March 13, 2012, TBC and Midas announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement providing for TBC to acquire Midas for $310 million. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Midas shareholders will receive $11.50 in cash for each share of Midas common stock held. According to Bloomberg, the revenue multiple for the proposed buyout transaction is lower than the median multiple for comparable transactions.
