Westway Group Shareholder Alert: Briscoe Law Firm and Powers Taylor, LLP Investigate Sale to EQT Infrastructure II

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating the sale of Westway Group, Inc. (“Westway”) (Nasdaq: WWAY) to an affiliate of EQT Infrastructure II for shareholders. Under the terms of the proposed deal valued at approximately $419 million, Westway shareholders will only receive $6.70 for each share of Westway stock owned, which is below the 52 week high of $7.00 per share.

“due to the proposed sale price, the size of the deal and other factors, we believe this transaction may undervalue Westway’s stock. Our proposed lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders.”

There is no cost or fee to you.

The Westway sale investigation centers on whether Westway’s shareholders are receiving adequate compensation for their shares in the buyout, whether the transaction undervalues Westway’s stock, and whether Westway’s board attempted to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders prior to agreeing to the deal. Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance has estimated that the true inherent value of Westway could be as high as $7.00 per share, well above the proposed sale price. Shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe stated that “due to the proposed sale price, the size of the deal and other factors, we believe this transaction may undervalue Westway’s stock. Our proposed lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders.”
