Ancestry.com Sale Investigated By Securities Attorneys At The Briscoe Law Firm And Powers Taylor, LLP
Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating the proposed Ancestry.com buyout for shareholders. Ancestry.com (“ACOM”)(NasdaqGS: ACOM) announced that it entered into a definitive merger agreement with a company owned by Permira, a European private equity firm, and co-investors in a deal valued at $1.6 billion. Under the terms of the transaction, ACOM shareholders will receive $32.00 in cash for each share of ACOM common stock owned, well below at least one analyst’s estimated value of $45.00 per share.
