Investigation for Investors in E*TRADE Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: ETFC) over Takeover

An investigation was announced concerning whether the takeover of E*TRADE Financial Corporation is unfair to NASDAQ: ETFC stockholders.

Investors who purchased shares of E*TRADE Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: ETFC) and currently hold any of those NASDAQ: ETFC shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 - 1554.

The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of E*TRADE Financial Corporation breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ: ETFC investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.

Arlington, VA based E*TRADE Financial Corporation, a financial services company, operates in the online brokerage industry. On February 20, 2020 Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) and E*TRADE Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: ETFC) have entered into a agreement under which Morgan Stanley will acquire E*TRADE in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $13 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, E*TRADE stockholders will receive 1.0432 Morgan Stanley shares for each E*TRADE share, which represents per share consideration of $58.74 based on the closing price of Morgan Stanley common stock on February 19, 2020.

However, given that at least one analyst has set the high target price for NASDAQ: ETFC shares at $62.00 per share, the
investigation concerns whether the offer is unfair to NASDAQ: ETFC stockholders. More specifically, the investigation concerns whether the E*TRADE Financial Board of Directors undertook an adequate sales process, adequately shopped the company before entering into the transaction, maximized shareholder value by negotiating the best price, and acted in the shareholders' best interests in connection with the proposed sale.

Those who are current investors in E*TRADE Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: ETFC) shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
