Spectra Energy Corp. Acquisition May Not Be in the Best Interests of SE Shareholders

NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2016

WeissLaw is investigating whether SE's Board acted to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement.  Notably, at least one analyst set a target price of $55.00 per share, or nearly $15.00 above the offer price.  Additionally, upon completion of the transaction, Enbridge can expect annual growth in dividends payments of 10%-12% through at least 2024. 

Given these facts, WeissLaw is investigating the Board of Directors' decision to sell SE and whether SE shareholders will obtain their fair and proportionate share of the Company's continued success and future growth prospects.  If you own SE shares and would like more information about your rights or our investigation, or if you have information to share with us, please contact Joshua Rubin by telephone at (888) 593-4771 or by email at stockinfo@weisslawllp.com.
