STEVENSON, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Talisman Energy Inc. (“Talisman” or the “Company”) (NYSE: TLM) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by Repsol SA (“Repsol”).
On December 16, 2014, Talisman announced the signing of a definitive agreement pursuant to which Repsol will acquire Talisman in an all cash transaction. Under the terms of the transaction, Talisman shareholders are expected to receive $8.00 in cash for each share of Talisman common stock they own. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2015 though Talisman shareholders will most likely be asked to vote on the transaction well before that time.
The firm’s investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company’s Board of Directors failed to satisfy their duties to shareholders, including whether the Board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the Board obtained the best price possible for the Company’s shares of common stock. In particular, according to Yahoo! Finance, at least one Wall Street analyst has issued a price target for Talisman stock at $13.00 per share.
