Kendall Law Group Investigates Boots and Coots, Inc. Merger for Shareholders

Kendall Law Group, a national securities litigation firm, is investigating Boots and Coots, Inc. WEL (“Boots”) for shareholders in connection to the proposed sale of the Company to Halliburton Company. The firm is investigating whether Boots and the Board breached their fiduciary duties by not properly shopping the company prior to entering into the agreement. If you are a Boots shareholder and would like additional information about your rights, contact the Kendall Law Group at 877-744-3728 or by email at skendall@kendalllawgroup.com.

On April 9, 2010, Boots announced that it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by Halliburton Company in a $232 million transaction that is expected to close by summer of 2010. According to the agreement, shareholders will receive $1.73 in cash and $1.27 in Halliburton stock per WEL common stock owned. The $3.00 value per share represents approximately 26% premium over the closing price on the last trading day before the deal was announced. The firm is concerned that Boots’ Board of Directors may have kept the Company from reaching a deal that would provide better value of the Company.
