WeissLaw LLP Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Time, Inc.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- WeissLaw LLP announced that a class action was commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of shareholders of Time, Inc. ("Time") TIME seeking to pursue remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") in connection with the proposed acquisition of Time by Meredith Corporation ("Meredith") MDP.

On November 26, 2017, Time and Meredith announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which Meredith will acquire all outstanding shares of Time in a cash transaction valued at approximately $2.8 billion ("Proposed Transaction"). Under the terms of the agreement, Time shareholders will receive $18.50 in cash for each share held.

The complaint seeks injunctive relief on behalf of the named plaintiff and all Time shareholders. The plaintiff is represented by WeissLaw, which has expertise in prosecuting investor class actions and extensive experience in actions involving financial fraud. The complaint further alleges that in an attempt to secure shareholder approval for the merger, the defendants filed a materially false and/or misleading Solicitation/Recommendation Statement with the SEC in violation of the Exchange Act. The omitted and/or misrepresented information is believed to be material to Time shareholders' ability to make an informed decision whether to tender their shares in support of the Proposed Transaction.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than sixty (60) days from today. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff's counsel, Joshua M. Rubin of WeissLaw at 888.593.4771, or by e-mail at stockinfo@weisslawllp.com.  Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
