Kuehn Law Investigates Mergers Involving PTMN, LRFC, ATSG, and ROIC
On February 3, 2025, Kuehn Law, PLLC, a law firm specializing in shareholder litigation, announced that it is looking into various proposed mergers involving several companies: Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: PTMN), Logan Ridge Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: LRFC), Air Transport Services Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATSG), and Retail Opportunity Investments Corp. (NASDAQ: ROIC). This inquiry aims to determine whether these companies acted in the best interests of their shareholders throughout these merger negotiations.
The Companies Under Investigation
Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (PTMN)
Portman Ridge has entered into a definitive agreement to merge with Logan Ridge Finance, where Portman will be the surviving entity. The transaction presents a point of interest for Kuehn Law, as it examines if this deal was structured to maximize shareholder value effectively.
Logan Ridge Finance Corporation (LRFC)
Logan Ridge shareholders are set to receive 1.5 new shares of Portman Ridge for each share they hold in the company. Kuehn Law's investigation will assess whether this ratio reflects a fair value proposition for Logan Ridge's shareholders, or if critical details about the merger were overlooked or inadequately disclosed.
Air Transport Services Group, Inc. (ATSG)
Air Transport Services Group has agreed to be acquired for $22.50 per share by Stonepeak. Upon completion, Air Transport shares are expected to cease trading on NASDAQ. Kuehn Law is tasked with ensuring that shareholders were duly informed about the financial implications of this transaction and whether they were offered a fair chance to exit their investments at a reasonable value.
Retail Opportunity Investments Corp. (ROIC)
Retail Opportunity Investments Corp. is poised for an acquisition by Blackstone, with shareholders receiving $17.50 per share. This move is also under scrutiny, as Kuehn Law seeks to determine if potential conflicts of interest or failure to disclose vital information played a role throughout the transaction process.
