In the transaction, Essential shareholders will receive 0.305 shares of American Water for each share of Essential they own at closing. Upon completion, American Water shareholders will own approximately 69% and Essential shareholders will own approximately 31% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis.
Essential insiders will continue to receive substantial benefits as part of change of control arrangements.
The transaction agreement unreasonably limits competing transactions for Essential by imposing a significant penalty if Essential accepts a competing bid. We are investigating the conduct of the Essential board of directors, and whether they are fulfilling their fiduciary duties to all shareholders.
