FelCor (FCH) Alert: J&W Launches an Investigation into the Sale of FelCor; Are Shareholders Getting a Fair Deal?

SAN DIEGO, April 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP (J&W) has launched an investigation into whether the board members of FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated FCH breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to RLJ Lodging Trust RLJ.

On April 24, 2017, FelCor announced it had signed a definitive merger agreement with RLJ. Under the terms of the agreement, each share of FelCor common stock will be converted into 0.362 shares of newly issued common shares of RLJ common stock in a taxable merger. FelCor's operating units will be exchanged for limited partnership units in RLJ's operating partnership at a similar exchange ratio of 0.362. Following the merger, RLJ's shareholders are expected to own approximately 71 percent of the combined company's fully diluted equity, and FelCor's shareholders are expected to own the remaining 29 percent.

The investigation concerns whether the FelCor 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 FelCor shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson & Weaver is investigating whether the proposed deal price represents adequate consideration.

If you are a shareholder of FelCor and believe the proposed buyout price is too low and you're interested in learning more about the investigation or your legal rights and remedies, please contact lead analyst Jim Baker (jimb@johnsonandweaver.com) at 619-814-4471.
