On May 10, 2011, CKX announced the definitive merger agreement under which CKX would be acquired by an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, in a transaction valued at approximately $509 million. Under the terms of the agreement, CKX stockholders will receive $5.50 in cash for each share of CKX/CKXE common stock held. The company has been in search of a buyer and had received an unsolicited offer as recently as March 23, 2011, from the Gores Group, LLC. In addition, according to Thompson/First Call, analysts have set a price target as high as $8.00 per share for CKX stock. The firm's investigation seeks to determine whether CKX and its Board undertook a fair process in negotiating the deal.
