Law Firm Brower Piven Announces Investigation in Connection With the Acquisition of Adams Golf, Inc. by Adidas Group

Monday, March 19, 2012
Mentioned in this news:
NASDAQ Cap: ADGF $10.72 -0.03 (-0.279%)

The law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced
an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty to current
shareholders of Adams Golf, Inc. (“Adams Golf”) (NASDAQ: ADGF) and other
violations of state law by the board of directors of Adams Golf relating
to the proposed acquisition of the company by Adidas Group (“Adidas”).
The firm’s investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether
the board breached its fiduciary duties by failing to maximize
shareholder value.


On March 19, 2012, Adidas and Adams Golf announced that they had entered
into a definitive agreement providing for Adidas to acquire Adams Golf
for $70 million. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Adams Golf
shareholders will receive $10.80 for each share of Adams Golf common
stock held. According to Bloomberg, the EBIT, EBITDA, Revenue, and Net
Income multiples for the proposed buyout transaction are lower than the
median multiples for comparable transactions. Insiders including
Chairman and CEO B.H. Barney Adams, Director John M. Gregory, Director
Joseph R. Gregory, Director Russell L. Fleischer, Director Mark R.
Mulvoy, Director Robert D. Rogers, and SJ Strategic Investments LLC, who
collectively own approximately 35% of Adams Golf’s outstanding shares,
have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the transaction.
