The investigation concerns whether the GTEC Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to GTEC stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction and whether Ares is underpaying for GTEC shares, thus unlawfully harming GTEC stockholders. Damian Perl, the founder and Chief Executive of Global Strategies Group (GLOBAL), former sole beneficial owner of GTEC and a current GTEC director, entered into a tender and voting agreement in support of the offer. GLOBAL is the largest beneficial shareholder in GTEC, owning approximately 42% of GTEC outstanding stock.
