Finkelstein Thompson LLP Investigates Potentially Unfair Buyout of Towers Watson & Co.


Finkelstein Thompson LLP is investigating potential claims on behalf of shareholders of Towers Watson & Co. ("TW" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: TW), concerning the Company's proposed acquisition by Willis Group Holdings PLC. Under the terms of the proposal, TW shareholders will receive 2.6490 Willis shares for each TW share common stock they own, in addition to $4.87 in cash. The total deal consideration per share would be approximately $125.13 per share of TW. At least one analyst has set a high target price of $157.00 for TW shares. The entire transaction is valued at approximately $18 billion.

The investigation is focused on whether TW's Board of Directors breached its fiduciary duty in failing to maximize consideration to shareholders, the potential unfairness of the consideration to shareholders, the process by which the Board of Director considered the transaction, and potential conflicts of interest among TW's Board of Directors' members.
