The investigation centers on the specific terms of the transaction, which offer investors a choice between two compensation structures. Shareholders are set to receive either 0.5537 shares of Weatherford stock per NCS share, or a split package consisting of 0.2392 shares of Weatherford stock alongside a cash payment equivalent to 0.1271 shares. Legal representatives are questioning whether the board adequately protected investor interests when finalizing these exchange ratios.
