Representative Matters :

  • On December 24, 2014 j2 Global, Inc. launched a hostile tender offer for the shares of Carbonite, Inc. Foley represented the board of directors of Carbonite in developing its defenses and responses to Carbonite, including the adoption of a two-tier shareholder rights plan. Foley was also selected by the company to handle anticipated litigation over the shareholder rights plan.
  • In the middle of the j2 negotiations we were notified by FINRA of an investigation into the trading of the shares of Carbonite immediately prior to j2’s tender offer; we produced documents to FINRA and otherwise responded to all FINRA investigatory requests. The company announced the resignation of one board member and the appointment of a new board member. On March 2, 2015, j2 Global withdrew its tender offer and its anticipated litigation.
