Weiss & Lurie, 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 Ariba Inc. (NASDAQ: ARBA) arising from its agreement for
Ariba to be acquired by a subsidiary of SAP AG (NYSE: SAP). Under the
proposed merger agreement, shareholders will receive $45.00 in cash per
Ariba share. The transaction is expected to close during the third
quarter of 2012.
Weiss & Lurie is investigating whether Ariba’s Board acted in the best
interests of shareholders in approving this deal and whether SAP is
underpaying for Ariba shares. As part of the deal, insiders have secured
special benefits for themselves – for example, upon consummation of the
deal, Ariba’s existing management team will continue to lead Ariba,
which will operate as an independent business under the name “Ariba, an
SAP company.” Moreover, the SAP Executive Board intends to nominate
Ariba’s CEO, Bob Calderoni, to the SAP Global Managing Board after the
close of the transaction. Furthermore, an analyst has set a target price
for Ariba stock at $50.00 per share.
