NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — The fairness of the proposed acquisition of SFX Entertainment, Inc. (“SFXE” or the “Company”) by Company Chief Executive Officer and Chairman Robert F. X. Sillerman (“Sillerman”) is being investigated by WeissLaw LLP, a national class action, shareholder rights law firm. The investigation focuses on possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of SFXE concerning Sillerman’s proposed acquisition of Company. On February 25, 2015, the Company confirmed that it received a proposal from Sillerman to negotiate the acquisition of all outstanding shares of SFXE in in an effort to privatize the Company. Under the terms of the proposal, SFXE shareholders will receive $4.75 in cash for each SFXE share they own.

WeissLaw is investigating whether SFXE’s Board is acting to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into any agreement. Notably, several analysts estimate the target price for the Company to be significantly above the offer price. Conservative estimates by analysts set a target price of $9.00 per share, or approximately $5.00 above the offer price. Other estimates set a target price of $12.00 per share, or approximately 2.5 times the offer price.

Given these facts, WeissLaw is investigating whether SFXE’s Board is acting in the best interests of SFXE’s public shareholders by actively shopping the Company to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into any agreement with Sillerman.
