SAN DIEGO, Nov. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law
firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Applied Micro Circuits Corporation
(NASDAQ: AMCC) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to MACOM Technology Solutions
Holdings, Inc. Applied Micro provides silicon solutions for next-generation cloud infrastructure and data centers.
On November 21, 2016, Applied Micro announced it had signed a definitive merger agreement with
MACOM. Under the terms of the agreement, Applied Micro shareholders will receive approximately $8.36 per share, consisting of $3.25 in cash and 0.1089 MACOM shares per share of
Applied Micro.
The investigation concerns whether the Applied Micro board failed to satisfy their duties to the Company shareholders,
including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price
possible for Applied Micro shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson & Weaver is investigating whether the
proposed deal price represents adequate consideration; especially given that the price target for one Wall Street analyst
is $11.00.
If you are a shareholder of Applied Micro and believe the proposed buyout price is too low and you're interested in
learning more about the investigation or your legal rights and remedies, please contact lead analyst Jim
