NEW YORK, March 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Gardner Denver Inc. ("Gardner Denver" or the "Company") (NYSE: GDI) (ISIN: US3655581052) (CUSIP: 365558105) concerning the proposed acquisition of Gardner Denver Inc. by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., in a transaction valued at approximately $3.9 billion, including the assumption of debt.
The investigation concerns whether the Gardner Denver directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and maximize shareholder value. Under the terms of the agreement, Gardner Denver shareholders will be entitled to receive $76.00 per share in cash for each share of Gardner Denver common stock. However, the price to EBIT and Revenue multiples are below those of comparable transactions.
