LIONBRIDGE (LIOX) ALERT: Johnson & Weaver, LLP Launches an Investigation into the Fairness of Price and Process in Proposed Sale of Lionbridge Technologies, Inc.; Is $5.75 a Fair Price?

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIOX) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to H.I.G. Capital, LLC.

On December 12, 2016, Lionbridge announced it had signed a definitive merger agreement with H.I.G. Under the terms of the agreement, Lionbridge stockholders will receive $5.75 per share in cash for each share of Lionbridge common stock. At least one Wall Street analyst had set a price target for Lionbridge stock of $7.00. 

The investigation concerns whether the Lionbridge board failed to satisfy their duties to the Company shareholders, including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible for Lionbridge stock. Nationally recognized Johnson & Weaver is investigating whether the proposed deal price represents adequate consideration.

If you are a shareholder of Lionbridge and believe the proposed buyout price is too low and you're interested in learning more about the investigation or your legal rights and remedies, please contact lead analyst Jim Baker (jimb@johnsonandweaver.com) at 619-814-4471.
