WeissLaw LLP Investigates Metals USA Holdings Corp. Acquisition

WeissLaw LLP, a national class action and shareholder rights law firm with offices in New York City and Los Angeles, is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of Metals USA Holdings Corp. (“Metals USA” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MUSA) arising from its agreement for Metals USA to be acquired by Reliance Steel & Aluminum Co. (“Reliance”) in an all-cash transaction with an enterprise value of approximately $1.2 billion. Under the terms of the proposed transaction Reliance will buy all outstanding Metals USA stock for $20.65 per share.

WeissLaw LLP is investigating whether Metals USA’s Board acted in the best interests of its public shareholders in order to maximize shareholder value for Metals USA’s public shareholders, prior to entering into the proposed transaction with Reliance. Notably, prior to the announcement of the deal, several analysts set the price target for Metals USA’s stock above the price offered by Reliance. Moreover, Reliance is paying about eight times Metals USA’s EBITDA. That is below the median of 8.6 for nine similar deals from the last eight years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
