Informatica Acquisition Investigated by the Peiffer Rosca Wolf Law

Firm on Behalf of Investors


In an April 7, 2015 press release, the Board of Directors of Informatica (NASDAQ: INFA) announced a plan
where Informatica would be acquired by Permira, an international private equity firm, and the Canada Pension Plan
Investment Board (CPPIB) for approximately $5.3 billion. Under the agreement, the buyers will pay each shareholder of
Informatica $48.75 in cash. Further information about the deal should be available soon.

According to David Gelles of the New York Times, buyout transactions like this involving more
than one private equity firm, which are sometimes known as club deals, were popular prior to the
financial crisis, but are no longer as common as they once were. The same report notes that
Informatica has been adjusting its business model to deal with the rapidly changing world of data
and technology, and that Informaticas Board of Directors unanimously approved the deal. A
Reuters article by Devika Krishna Kumar and Greg Roumeliotis posted online noted that Tibco, a
competitor of Informatica, was taken private in December 2014 by a different private equity firm.

Generally, the board of directors of any company that is being purchased has a fiduciary duty to its
investors to thoroughly investigate any proposed buyout and, if the company is being purchased, to
maximize the value that shareholders will receive as part of the deal. Informaticas press release
notes that though the Board has acted, the transaction is still contingent on shareholder approval and
the approval of regulators. Since the company is going private, once the deal is complete,
Informaticas shares will no longer be traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
The attorneys at Peiffer Rosca Wolf Abdullah Carr & Kane have opened an investigation into the
Informatica Board of Directors regarding Informaticas acquisition. The investigation is focused on
whether the Board breached its fiduciary duties to stockholders to maximize value in this
transaction. Alan Rosca, Joe Peiffer, and the other attorneys at Peiffer Rosca Wolf Abdullah Carr &
Kane represent individual and institutional investors who have suffered financial losses as a result
of unlawful conduct by financial professionals.
