SAN DIEGO, Feb. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: MXWL) ("Maxwell") breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Tesla, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA) ("Tesla").

On February 4, 2019, Maxwell announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Tesla. Under terms of the deal, each Maxwell share will be exchanged for a fraction of Tesla shares, which would be valued at $4.75.

The investigation concerns whether the Maxwell 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 Maxwell 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 $7.00 price target on the stock. The 52-week high for Maxwell was $6.27.

If you are a shareholder of Maxwell and believe the proposed buyout price is too low or you're interested in learning more about the investigation or your legal rights and remedies, please contact lead analyst Jim Baker ([email protected]) at 619-814-4471. If emailing, please include a phone number.
