Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - April 11, 2023) - Law office of Brodsky & Smith announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of HEXO Corp. ("HEXO" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: HEXO) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of federal and state law in connection with the Company's agreement to be acquired by Tilray Brands, Inc. ("Tilray") in an all-stock transaction. Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, HEXO Shareholders will receive 0.4352 of a share of Tilray common stock in exchange for each HEXO Share held which implies a purchase price of US$1.25 per HEXO Share based on the volume weighted average price of Tilray Shares on the Nasdaq for the 60-day period ended on April 5, 2023.
The investigation concerns whether the HEXO Board breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to conduct a fair process, including whether Tilray is paying too little for the Company. For example, the deal consideration is less than the 52-week high of $8.38 for the Company's shares.
