Halper Sadeh LLC, an investor rights law firm, is investigating whether the merger of International Paper Company (NYSE: IP) and DS Smith Plc is fair to International Paper shareholders. Per the terms of the proposed transaction, International Paper will issue 0.1285 shares for each DS Smith share, resulting in International Paper shareholders owning approximately 66.3% of the combined company.

The investigation concerns whether International Paper and its board violated the federal securities laws and/or breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to, among other things: (1) obtain the best possible consideration for International Paper shareholders; and (2) disclose all material information necessary for International Paper shareholders to adequately assess and value the merger consideration.

On behalf of International Paper shareholders, Halper Sadeh LLC may seek increased consideration for shareholders, additional disclosures and information concerning the proposed transaction, or other relief and benefits. We would handle the action on a contingent fee basis, whereby you would not be responsible for out-of-pocket payment of our legal fees or expenses.
