Philadelphia, Pennsylvania--(Newsfile Corp. - August 17, 2023) - Kaskela Law LLC announces that it is investigating the fairness of the proposed buyout of Heritage-Crystal Clean, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCCI) ("Crystal Clean") shareholders by private equity firm J.F. Lehman & Company ("Lehman") at $45.50 per share.
The $45.50 per share buyout price appears to undervalue Crystal Clean's shares. For example, at the time the proposed buyout was negotiated and announced, several stock analysts had assigned price targets on Crystal Clean's shares well above the $45.50 per share buyout price, including one analyst who recently increased the price target on the shares from $50.00 per share to $54.00 per share.
The investigation has uncovered significant potential conflicts of interest in the proposed buyout, and seeks to determine (i) whether $45.50 per share represents maximum achievable cash consideration for Crystal Clean's shareholders, and (ii) whether Crystal Clean's officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties or violated the securities laws by agreeing to sell the company to Lehman at $45.50 per share.
