NEW YORK, April 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of National Financial Partners Corp. ("NFP" or the "Company") (NYSE: NFP) (ISIN: US63607P2083) (CUSIP: 63607P208) concerning the proposed acquisition of National Financial Partners Corp. by Madison Dearborn Partners in a transaction valued at approximately $1.3 Billion.
The investigation concerns whether the NFP directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and maximize shareholder value. Under the terms of the agreement, NFP shareholders will be entitled to receive $25.35 per share in cash for each share of NFP common stock. However, the price to EBIT and Revenue multiples are below those of comparable transactions.
