15 November 2011 - 8:38PM
Business Wire
Attorney Advertising. Stull, Stull & Brody has commenced an
investigation on behalf of purchasers of McCormick & Schmick’s
Seafood Restaurant (“McCormick & Schmick’s” or the “Company”)
(NASDAQ:MSSR) common stock concerning potential violations of the
federal securities laws and/or breaches of fiduciary duties by
McCormick & Schmick’s and certain of its officers and
directors. If you own shares of McCormick & Schmick’s common
stock and wish to discuss your rights or interests you may contact
Stull, Stull & Brody at the address set forth below with no
cost or obligation.
On November 8, 2011, McCormick & Schmick’s announced that it
had signed a definitive agreement with Landry’s MSA Co., Inc., a
subsidiary of Landry’s Restaurants, Inc (“Landry’s”), to acquire
all of McCormick & Schmick’s common stock through an all cash
tender offer of $8.75 per share. Upon the completion of the tender
offer, Landry’s will acquire all remaining shares of
McCormick & Schmick’s through a second-step merger, (i.e.
by a squeeze-out merger of the remaining target
company shareholders), if Landry’s controls a majority of McCormick
& Schmick’s shares after the tender offer.
The $8.75 per share offer is below analyst target prices for the
Company’s shares which range from $9 to $12 per share, below the
Company’s 52 week high of $10.47, and below the prices at which
McCormick & Schmick’s stock traded on August 2, 2011. The offer
is also below a $9.25 per share tender offer commenced by Landry’s
in April of 2011.
The current investigation by Stull, Stull & Brody concerns
(1) whether the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties
to stockholders by failing to conduct an adequate and fair sales
process prior to agreeing to this transaction and (2) whether the
proposed transaction undervalues the Company’s shares to the
detriment of McCormick & Schmick’s shareholders.
