(firmenpresse) - SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/27/12 -- The Shareholders Foundation, Inc. announces that an investor filed a lawsuit in State Court for current stockholders of Kenneth Cole Productions (KCP) in effort to stop the proposed takeover of Kenneth Cole Productions by its Chairman and Chief Creative Officer Kenneth D. Cole for $15.00 per share.
If you purchased shares of Kenneth Cole Productions (KCP) prior to Feb. 24, 2012 and currently hold those KCP stocks, you have certain options and you should contact the Shareholders Foundation, Inc. by e-mail at or call +1 (858) 779-1554.
On Feb. 24, 2012, Kenneth D. Cole, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of Kenneth Cole Productions, Inc, announced that he has proposed to acquire through a merger transaction 100 percent of the outstanding publicly held shares of common stock of Kenneth Cole Productions, Inc. (KCP). The proposal values the total equity of the Company at approximately $280 million.
However, the plaintiff alleges that the $15 offer is unfair to the KCP stockholders and undervalues Kenneth Cole Productions. In fact, following the takeover proposal shares of Kenneth Cole Productions (KCP) jumped from $13.07 per share on Thursday to $15.90 on Friday, February 24, 2012 and at least one analyst has set the high target price for KCP shares at $17 per share, both above the current offer.
Furthermore, the plaintiff alleges the process is unfair to KCP stockholders.
Indeed, Mr. Cole currently owns approximately 47% of the common stock (representing approximately 89% of the voting power) of Kenneth Cole Productions.
Those who currently are investors in Kenneth Cole Productions (KCP) shares and purchased their shares before the announcement have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
