Under the terms of the transaction, Zipcar shareholders will receive
$12.25 per share of Zipcar stock they own. The transaction has a total
approximate value of $500 million. Zipcar shareholders representing
approximately 31% of the Company’s stock have agreed to vote in favor of
the deal. The investigation concerns whether the Zipcar Board of
Directors breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to
adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction and
whether Avis Budget Group, Inc. is underpaying for Zipcar, thus
unlawfully harming Zipcar stockholders. In particular, Zipcar stock has
traded above the merger consideration as recently as April 25, 2012.
Furthermore, at least one analyst has set a price target for Zipcar
stock at $13.00 per share.
