The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional
Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of
fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of
Directors of Oplink Communications, Inc. (“Oplink” or the “Company”)
(NASDAQ: OPLK) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by Koch
Optics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Koch Industries, Inc.
(“Koch”).
On November 19, 2014, Oplink and Koch announced the signing of a
definitive agreement pursuant to which Koch will acquire Oplink in a
transaction valued at approximately $445 million. Under the terms of the
transaction, Oplink shareholders are anticipated to receive $24.25 in
cash for each share of Oplink common stock they own.
The firm’s investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether
the Company’s Board of Directors failed to satisfy their duties to
shareholders, including whether the Board adequately pursued
alternatives to the acquisition and whether the Board obtained the best
price possible for the Company’s shares of common stock. In particular,
according to Yahoo! Finance, at least one Wall Street analyst has
issued a price target for Oplink stock at $26.25 per share.
