DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating the sale of Zipcar, Inc. (“Zipcar”) (Nasdaq: ZIP) to Avis Budget Group, Inc. for shareholders. Under the terms of the proposed deal valued at approximately $500 million, Zipcar shareholders will only receive $12.25 in cash for each share of Zipcar stock owned, which is below the 52 week high of $16.25 per share.

There is no cost or fee to you.
The Zipcar sale investigation centers on whether Zipcar’s shareholders are receiving adequate compensation for their shares in the buyout, whether the transaction undervalues Zipcar’s stock, and whether Zipcar’s board attempted to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders prior to agreeing to the deal. Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance has estimated that the true inherent value of Zipcar could be as high as $13.00 per share, well above the proposed sale price. Shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe stated that “due to the proposed sale price, the size of the deal and other factors, we believe this transaction may undervalue Zipcar’s stock. Our proposed lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders.”
