NEW YORK, Aug. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Nadeem Faruqi, founding partner at Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities firm headquartered in New York City, is investigating the Board of Directors of Rackspace Hosting, Inc. ("Rackspace" or the "Company") (NYSE:RAX) for potential breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with the sale of the Company to Apollo Global Management, LLC for approximately $4.3 billion.

The Company's stockholders will only receive $32.00 in cash for each share of Rackspace common stock they own. However, this consideration is below Cowen and Company's price target of $38.00 per share announced on August 11, 2016 and Rackspace's 52-week high of $32.84 per share.

The investigation focuses on whether Rackspace's Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholders by failing to conduct a fair sales process and whether and by how much this proposed transaction undervalues the Company to the detriment of Rackspace's shareholders.
