Business Wire
Levi & Korsinsky is investigating the Board of Directors of
PLATO Learning Inc. (“PLATO” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGM: TUTR) for
possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state
law in connection with their attempt to sell the Company to Thoma
Bravo LLC ("Thomas Bravo"). Under the terms of the transaction,
PLATO shareholders will receive $5.60 in cash for each PLATO share
of common stock they own for a total transaction value of
approximately $143 million.
For the quarter ending January 31, 2010, PLATO reported total
revenues of $15.587 million and net income of $1.002 million as
compared to total revenues and net income of $16.9 million and $391
thousand, respectively, for the prior quarter.
The investigation concerns whether the PLATO Board of Directors
breached their fiduciary duties to PLATO stockholders by failing to
adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction
and whether Thoma Bravo is underpaying for PLATO shares, thus
unlawfully harming PLATO stockholders. In particular, (i) at least
one analyst set a price target for PLATO stock at $6.00 per share;
(ii) the offer price is only a small premium over the $5.00 price
the Company's shares traded at as recently as March 23, 2010; (iii)
the Company has approximately $27.65 million in cash with no debt;
(iv) the Company reported net income in the first quarter of 2010
of $1.0 million, or $0.04 per share, as compared to net income of
$259,000, or $0.01 per share in the first quarter of 2009; and (v)
the Company announced that it expects fiscal 2010 free cash flow to
grow 30% to 40% over 2009.
