Aug. 17, 2010 (Business Wire) -- Levi & Korsinsky is investigating the Board of Directors of Pactiv Corporation (“Pactiv” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PTV) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with their attempt to sell the Company to Reynolds Group Holdings Limited ("Reynolds"). Under the terms of the transaction, Pactiv shareholders will receive $33.25 in cash for each Pactiv share of common stock they own for a total transaction value of approximately $6.0 billion.
The investigation concerns whether the Pactiv Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Pactiv stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction and whether Reynolds is underpaying for Pactiv shares, thus unlawfully harming Pactiv stockholders. In particular, analysts set a median price target for Pactiv stock at $34.00 per share with one analyst setting a price target for Pactiv stock at $35.00 per share.
