The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Orbotech Ltd. (Nasdaq: ORBK) (“Orbotech” or the “Company”) relating to the proposed buyout of Orbotech by KLA-Tencor Corporation.

Under the terms of the agreement, Orbotech shareholders are anticipated to receive $38.86 in cash and 0.25 of a KLA-Tencor common share for each share of Orbotech common stock held. Based on the closing price of KLA-Tencor stock on March 16, 2018, this represents a value of approximately $69.02 per share.

The firm’s investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company’s Board of Directors failed to satisfy their duties to shareholders, including whether the Board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the Board obtained the best price possible for the Company’s shares of common stock.

If you currently own common stock of Orbotech and believe that the proposed buyout price is too low, and you would like to learn more about the investigation being conducted, without cost or obligation to you, please contact Brower Piven either by email at hoffman@browerpiven.com or by telephone at (410) 415-6616.
