Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities firm headquartered in New York City, announces that it has filed a class action lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, Krieger v. Wesco Financial Corp., et al., Case No. 6176, on behalf of the public shareholders of Wesco Financial Corp. ("Wesco" or the "Company") (AMEX: WSC).
The complaint seeks to enjoin an alleged self-dealing transaction (the "Proposed Transaction") by which the controlling and more than 80% majority shareholder of Wesco – defendant Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. ("Berkshire") through its wholly owned subsidiary Montana Acquisitions, LLC ("Montana") – seeks to acquire the remaining 19.9% of the shares of Wesco's common stock that it does not presently own in exchange for cash or shares of Berkshire Hathaway Class B common stock, at the election of each shareholder. Based on the estimated shareholders' equity of Wesco as of January 31, 2011, the Proposed Transaction values the 19.9% of Wesco at approximately $547.6 million.
The complaint further alleges that the Proposed Transaction is the product of a flawed process designed to sell Wesco to Berkshire on terms detrimental to the plaintiff and the other public shareholders of Wesco.
