WEISSLAW LLP Investigates Financial Engines, Inc. Acquisition

NEW YORK, May 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- WeissLaw LLP is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of Financial Engines, Inc. ("FNGN" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: FNGN) in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company by funds affiliated with Hellman & Friedman (the "Affiliates").  Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company's shareholders will receive $45.00 in cash for each FNGN share they own.

WeissLaw is investigating whether FNGN's Board acted to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement.  Notably, in its latest financial statements, FNGN reported an 11% year-over-year increase in revenue, from the $113.2 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2016 to $125.7 million reported in the same period of the following year.  The Company also reported an impressive annual growth of 26% in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, and a 31% year-over-year increase in non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share. 

Given these facts, WeissLaw is investigating whether FNGN's Board acted in the best interests of FNGN's public shareholders to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement.  If you own FNGN shares and would like more information about your rights or our investigation, or if you have information to share with us, please contact Joshua Rubin by telephone at (888) 593-4771 or by email at stockinfo@weisslawllp.com.
