Blyth Being Investigated For Breach Of Fiduciary Responsibilities

Robert Goergen,Blyth,CEO

 

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities firm headquartered in New York City, is investigating the Board of Directors of Blyth, Inc. (“Blyth” or the “Company”) (BTH) for potential breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with the sale of the Company to The Carlyle Group LP for approximately $98 million in a cash transaction. 

The Company’s stockholders will only receive $6.00 for each share of Company common stock they own. However, the offer represents an inadequate premium since it is lower than both the 52-week high of $10.27 per share and considerably lower than at least one Wall Street analyst price target of $40.00 per share 

The investigation focuses on whether Blyth’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders by failing to conduct a fair sales process and whether and by how much this proposed transaction undervalues the Company to the detriment of Blyth’s shareholders.
