Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder law firm, has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Anixter International Inc. (NYSE: AXE) breached their fiduciary duties or violated the federal securities laws in connection with the company’s proposed sale to Clayton, Dubilier & Rice.

On October 30, 2019, Anixter announced that it had signed an agreement to be acquired by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice for $82.50 per share in cash, or a total of approximately $3.8 billion.
On December 4, 2019, Anixter filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC recommending Anixter shareholders vote in favor of the proposed merger agreement. The date of the shareholder vote is yet to be released.
Bragar Eagel & Squire is concerned that Anixter’s board of directors oversaw an unfair process and ultimately agreed to an inadequate deal price. Indeed, Anixter’s stock has recently traded well above the $82.50 per share deal price. Moreover, the preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC discloses that another potential buyer has offered more than the $82.50 per share agreed to by Anixter’s board. Accordingly, the firm is investigating all relevant aspects of the deal and is committed to securing the best result possible for Anixter stockholders.
