NEW YORK, June 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- WeissLaw LLP is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of Qlik Technologies Inc. ("QLIK" or the "Company") in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company by private equity firm Thoma Bravo LLC ("Thoma Bravo"). On June 2, 2016, the Company announced it had reached a definitive agreement for Thoma Bravo to acquire all outstanding shares of QLIK in a transaction valued at approximately $3 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, QLIK shareholders will receive $30.50 in cash for each QLIK share they own.

WeissLaw is investigating whether QLIK's Board acted to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement. Notably, at least one analyst set a target price of $40.00 per share, or $9.50 above the offer price. Additionally, the Company recently announced positive financial results for the first quarter of 2016. It reported revenues of $138 million, representing an increase of 15% year-over-year when compared to the $120.3 million reported in the same quarter of the previous year.

Given these facts, WeissLaw is investigating whether QLIK's Board acted in the best interests of QLIK's public shareholders to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement. If you own QLIK shares and would like more information about your rights or our investigation, or if you have information to share with us, please contact Joshua Rubin by telephone at (888) 593-4771 or by email at stockinfo@weisslawllp.com.
