Wohl & Fruchter Initiates Investigation into Merger Between K-Sea Transportation Partners L.P. and Kirby Corporation
28 3월 2011 - 9:00PM
Business Wire
The law firm of Wohl & Fruchter LLP has commenced an
investigation into whether the directors of K-Sea General Partner
GP LLC (the GP) breached their fiduciary duties to the common
unitholders of K-Sea Transportation Partners L.P. (NYSE: KSP)
(K-Sea) by approving the merger of K-Sea with Kirby Corporation
(NYSE: KEX) (Kirby).
Under the terms of the proposed merger, K-Sea’s common
unitholders would have the choice of receiving either $8.15 in cash
or a combination of cash and Kirby stock. Holders of K-Sea
preferred and general partner units would receive $8.15 in cash and
a combination of cash and Kirby stock, respectively. In addition,
insiders would be paid $18 million in cash for incentive
distribution rights owned by K-Sea IDR Holdings LLC. The merger is
not subject to a majority-of-the-minority voting condition.
Wohl & Fruchter’s investigation concerns whether the
allocation of the merger consideration between public investors and
insiders is fair. A conflict of interest may exist between insiders
and public investors because the common units are predominantly
held by the public, while the preferred units, general partner
units, and incentive distribution rights are predominantly held by
insiders.
