Johnson Fistel Launches Probe into Skechers Go Private Deal

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Johnson Fistel, PLLP, a leading shareholder rights law firm, has commenced an investigation into whether the board of directors of Skechers U.S.A., Inc. (NYSE: SKX) breached its fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to 3G Capital Corp. (“3G”). The inquiry focuses on the fairness of the consideration being offered to Skechers’ public shareholders and whether the transaction reflects full and fair value for all shareholders.

On May 5, 2025, Skechers entered into a definitive agreement under which 3G will acquire all outstanding shares of common stock in a go-private transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, each holder of Skechers common stock may elect to receive either: • $63.00 in cash per share, or • $57.00 in cash per share plus one unit in the post-closing private entity controlled by 3G.

Over the twelve-month period preceding the announcement of the deal, Skechers common stock traded at levels approaching $80.00 per share, raising potential concerns that the proposed cash consideration and equity rollover option may undervalue shareholder interests.

Johnson Fistel’s investigation will examine, among other issues: • Whether Skechers’ board of directors satisfied its fiduciary duty to secure the highest attainable cash consideration for public shareholders; • The process by which the board evaluated strategic alternatives and negotiated deal terms; • The adequacy of the disclosure provided to investors regarding the proposed go-private transaction; and • Any conflicts of interest that may have influenced the board’s recommendation.
