- Merger Fairness Investigation: Halper Sadeh LLC is investigating whether the merger between Contango ORE and Dolly Varden Silver is fair to Contango shareholders, who will own approximately 50% of the combined entity post-transaction, potentially impacting shareholder interests and decisions.
- Legal Liability Review: The investigation focuses on whether Contango and its board violated federal securities laws or breached fiduciary duties by failing to secure the best possible terms for shareholders and not disclosing all material information necessary for assessing the merger, which could harm shareholder rights.
- Shareholder Rights Protection: Halper Sadeh may seek increased consideration for shareholders, additional disclosures, or other remedies on behalf of Contango shareholders to ensure their legal rights are protected, thereby enhancing shareholder trust in the company.
- Legal Fee Arrangement: The law firm will handle the case on a contingency fee basis, meaning shareholders will not be responsible for upfront legal costs, which may encourage more shareholders to participate and increase scrutiny of the merger transaction.
