MILWAUKEE, Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ademi & O'Reilly, LLP is investigating Craft Brew (NASDAQ:BREW) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of the law in connection with the sale of Craft Brew to Anheuser-Busch.

Ademi & O'Reilly, LLP alleges Craft Brew's financial outlook is improving and yet shareholders will receive only $16.50 per share, in cash. In 2016, Anheuser-Busch and Craft Brew entered into a long-term partnership that included an option for Anheuser-Busch to buy Craft Brew for up to $24.50. At the end of three years, if Anheuser-Busch had not agreed to make the purchase, it would pay Craft Brew $20 million.

Last summer, Anheuser-Busch opted out and paid $20 million. Craft Brew traded between $12 and $21 since the Anheuser-Busch deal in 2016 before plunging to less than $8 in the two-plus months since the acquisition failed to take place.

Anheuser-Busch is purchasing Craft Brew at a substantial discount as it already owns 31.2% of Craft Brew so even with the $20 million payment, it is saving tens of millions from what the 2016 deal would have required it to pay.

The merger agreement unreasonably limits competing bids for Craft Brew by prohibiting solicitation of further bids, and imposing a termination penalty if Craft Brew accepts a superior bid. Craft Brew insiders will receive millions of dollars as part of change of control arrangements. We are investigating the conduct of Craft Brew's board of directors, and whether they are (i) fulfilling their fiduciary duties to all shareholders, and (ii) obtaining a fair and reasonable price for Craft Brew.
