NEW YORK, Aug.15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Volterra Semiconductor, Inc. ("Volterra" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: VLTR) (ISIN: US9287081064) (CUSIP: 928708106) concerning the proposed acquisition of Volterra by Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. in a transaction valued at approximately $605 million equity value or $450 million net of Volterra's cash position of approximately $155 million.
The investigation concerns whether the Volterra directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and maximize shareholder value. Under the terms of the agreement, Volterra shareholders will be entitled to receive $23.00 per share in cash for each share of Volterra common stock. However, the price to EBITDA and Revenue multiples are below the average of comparable transactions. In addition, the $23.00 per share offer price is below Volterra's 52 week high of $25.70 per share.
Volterra shareholders seeking more information about this acquisition are advised to contact Robert Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 212-661-1100 or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
The firm is also investigating actions on behalf of shareholders for the following companies: Hilltop Community Bancorp, Inc., Dole Food Company, Inc., and Cooper Tire & Rubber Company.
