Resolute (REN) Alert: Johnson Fistel Investigates Proposed Sale of Resolute Energy Corporation to Cimarex Energy Co.; Are Shareholders Getting a Fair Deal?

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 19, 2018

On November 19, 2018, Resolute announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Cimarex. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Resolute shareholders will have the right to receive 0.3943 shares of Cimarex common stock, $35 per share in cash, or a combination of $14 per share in cash and 0.2366 share of common stock. The amount of stock and cash is subject to proration for total stock and cash mix of 60% and 40%, respectively. 

The investigation concerns whether the Resolute board failed to satisfy its duties to the Company shareholders, including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible for Resolute shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson Fistel is investigating whether the proposed deal represents adequate consideration, especially given that one Wall Street analyst has a $62.80 price target on the stock. The 52-week high for Resolute was $39.28.
