Distribution Solutions Group to be bought at $35 as law firm probes deal
Distribution Solutions Group agreed to be acquired by its controlling shareholder for $35 per share, cashing out the company's remaining public investors.
"We are investigating whether DSGR's minority shareholders are receiving fair value in this transaction," Julie & Holleman said in a statement. The law firm is examining potential breaches of fiduciary duty by the company's board in approving the deal.
The $35 per share consideration applies to all publicly held shares of the Fort Worth, Texas-based industrial distribution company, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker DSGR. The company did not disclose whether a special committee of independent directors was formed to evaluate the offer or provide a timeline for closing.
Controller-led buyouts face heightened scrutiny because the controlling shareholder effectively negotiates with itself. The transaction eliminates the public float entirely, taking DSGR private. Minority shareholders who believe the price undervalues the company may seek appraisal rights or challenge the deal in Delaware court.
The buyout is expected to push DSGR's stock toward the $35 offer level. Investors will watch for competing bids or shareholder lawsuits that could raise the consideration before the transaction closes.
