BMC Stock Holdings, Inc. Investigation

We are investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the board of directors of BMC Stock Holdings, Inc. (“BMCH” or the “Company”) (NYSE: BMCH) in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company by Builders FirstSource, Inc. (“BLDR”) (NASDAQ: BLDR). Under the terms of the merger agreement, BMCH stockholders will receive 1.3125 BLDR shares for each share of BMCH common stock they own, representing implied per-share merger consideration of $48.68 based upon BLDR’s November 24, 2020 closing price of $37.09. At closing, BMCH’s current stockholders will only own a 43% stake in the combined company.

WeissLaw is investigating whether BMCH’s management and the board may have artificially revised BMCH’s financial projections downward in order to make the proposed transaction appear more favorable to BMCH stockholders than it truly is. Despite having a pre-existing set of long-term projections developed by management and relied upon by the board during the sales process, BMCH created a new, significantly revised set of financial projections in apparent response to BLDR’s June 2020 revised all-stock acquisition proposal (“July Projections”). This occurred little more than a month before the BMCH board agreed to the proposed merger, and seems wholly inconsistent with the Company’s recent unprecedented financial performance. To make matters worse, the earlier set of projections, the assumptions underlying those projections, and the basis for the significant revision of the July Projections is either wholly omitted or inadequately disclosed to BMCH shareholders. Without disclosure of the Company’s earlier long-term projections or qualitative discussion describing how the long-term projections were changed in July, BMCH stockholders have no way to assess whether the revision was proper in light of the Company’s record-setting second quarter financial results.\n\nGiven these facts, WeissLaw is concerned whether the board acted in the best interest of BMCH’s public stockholders in agreeing to the proposed transaction and whether the exchange ratio is fair to the Company’s public stockholders, and whether all information concerning the process leading to the proposed transaction and valuation of the Company on a standalone basis has been fully and fairly disclosed.\n\nWeissLaw LLP has litigated hundreds of stockholder class and derivative actions for violations of corporate and fiduciary duties. We have recovered over a billion dollars for defrauded clients and obtained important corporate governance relief in many of these cases.

Communications Systems, Inc. Investigation

We are investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the board of directors of Communications Systems, Inc. (“CSI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: JCS) in connection with the Company’s proposed merger with Pineapple Energy, LLC (“Pineapple”), a privately-held U.S. operator and consolidator of residential solar, battery storage, and grid services solutions. Under the terms of the merger agreement, CSI and Pineapple will combine through a reverse merger that will result in the combined company continuing to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new ticker symbol “PEGY.” In conjunction with the merger, CSI intends to divest substantially all its current operating and non-operating assets. CSI expects the sale proceeds from any pre-merger divestitures to be distributed in the form of a cash dividend to existing CSI shareholders prior to the effective date of the merger. In addition, CSI expects to distribute to the pre-merger shareholders a cash dividend of at least $1.00 per share prior to the closing of the merger. Moreover, under the terms of the merger agreement, (i) each CSI shareholder as of the merger record date, will receive Contingent Value Rights (“CVRs”) that reflect the right to receive that shareholder’s percentage of the net proceeds from the sale of legacy CSI businesses and assets, after the closing; and (ii) current CSI shareholders will retain shares in the combined company, initially holding approximately 37% of total shares outstanding.
