Shareholder Opposition Grows Over Proposed Group Merger of Breeze-Eastern Corporation
Large Shareholder Forms Group With VN Capital, Controlling 14.5% of Breeze-Eastern Shares
/EINPresswire.com/ -- NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - December 10, 2015) - Following its press release on December 8, VN Capital Management was contacted by Breeze-Eastern Corporation shareholder Mr. Jeffrey Slemrod who similarly opposes the recently announced merger agreement between Breeze-Eastern (BZC) and TransDigm Group, Inc. (TDG). Mr. Slemrod controls 176,867 shares of Breeze-Eastern's common shares, representing nearly 1.8% ownership of the company.
Mr. Slemrod stated, "I oppose the proposed merger transaction for the same reasons articulated by VN Capital in their press release. I believe the proposed merger price of $19.61 substantially undervalues Breeze-Eastern; a well-positioned company, and the merger process appears not to have been conducted in the best interests of all shareholders. I contacted VN Capital to express my support for their opposition efforts."
Together, VN Capital and Mr. Slemrod constitute a group controlling 1,436,003, or approximately 14.5%, of Breeze-Eastern's outstanding common shares. VN Capital and Mr. Slemrod encourage other shareholders not to tender their shares to TransDigm and urge the Board of Directors of Breeze-Eastern to abandon the proposed merger and seek an alternative solution.
