Under the terms of the transaction, Regency Energy unitholders will receive a total offer price of $26.89 per unit, consisting of 0.4066 ETP common units and a cash payment of $0.32 for each common unit of Regency Energy they own. The proposed transaction is valued at approximately $18 billion, including assumption of net debt and other liabilities of $6.8 billion. The investigation concerns whether the Board of Regency Energy breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before agreeing to enter into this transaction, and whether ETP is underpaying for Regency Energy shares. In particular, at least one financial analyst set a price target of $34.00 per share for Regency Energy stock.
