BALA CYNWYD, PA / ACCESSWIRE / November 25, 2019 / Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation ("TD Ameritrade" or "the Company") (NASDAQ:AMTD) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of federal and state law in connection with proposed acquisition of the Company by The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW). Under the terms of the agreement, TD Ameritrade shareholders will receive only 1.0837 shares of Charles Schwab stock for each share of TD Ameritrade common stock owned. This exchange ratio implied a deal price of $52.23 as of the last day of trading before the announcement.
The investigation concerns whether the TD Ameritrade Board breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to conduct a fair process and whether Charles Schwab is underpaying for the Company. The transaction may undervalue the Company and would result in a substantial loss for many TD Ameritrade shareholders. For example, at least one analyst following the Company has set a price target of $60.00. Additionally, the implied deal price is well-below the 52-week high of $57.88.
