KCG Holdings Alert: J&W Launches an Investigation into the Sale of KCG Holdings, Inc.; Is $20 a Fair Price?

SAN DIEGO, April 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of KCG Holdings, Inc. KCG breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Virtu Financial, Inc. VIRT. KCG is an independent securities firm, providing various services designed to address trading needs across asset classes, product types, and time zones.

On April 20, 2017, KCG announced it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Virtu. Under the terms of the agreement, Virtu has agreed to acquire KCG in a cash transaction valued at $20.00 per KCG share.

The investigation concerns whether the KCG board failed to satisfy their duties to the Company shareholders, including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible for KCG shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson & Weaver is investigating whether the proposed deal price represents adequate consideration.
