The investigation concerns whether WestRock and its board of directors 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 WestRock shareholders; (2) determine whether Smurfit Kappa is underpaying for WestRock; and (3) disclose all material information necessary for WestRock shareholders to adequately assess and value the merger consideration. On behalf of WestRock shareholders, Halper Sadeh LLC may seek increased consideration for shareholders, additional disclosures and information concerning the proposed transaction, or other relief and benefits.
