Lawsuit for Investors in WCI Communities Inc (NYSE:WCIC) against Takeover announced by Shareholders Foundation

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 30, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Shareholders Foundation, Inc. announces that an investor, who currently holds shares of WCI Communities Inc WCIC, filed a lawsuit in Florida against the proposed acquisition of WCI Communities Inc by Lennar Corporation for $23.50 per share.

Investors, who purchased shares of WCI Communities Inc WCIC prior to September 22, 2016, and currently hold any of those WCIC shares, have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation, Inc. at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1 (858) 779 - 1554.

The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to WCIC stockholders by agreeing to sell WCI Communities Inc too cheaply via an unfair process.

On Sept. 22, 2016, WCI Communities Inc WCIC announced the signing of a merger agreement under which Lennar Corporation LEN and LEN has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of WCI Communities Inc WCIC common stock in a cash and stock transaction valued at $23.50 per WCIC share.

However, the plaintiff claims that the proposed consideration WCIC shareholders will receive is grossly inadequate and undervalues WCI Communities Inc. The plaintiff alleges that key information was left out of documents filed with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the deal. In addition, the plaintiff claims that the process is also unfair to WCIC stockholders. The plaintiff says that the defendants agreed to preclusive deal protection devices, such as limited and inadequate post-signing go-shop period, a matching rights, and a $22.5 million termination fee that deter other bidders from making a superior offer.

Those who currently hold WCI Communities Inc WCIC shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation, Inc. at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1 (858) 779 - 1554.
