The inquiry targets four specific transactions: Arcosa’s sale to CRH for $150.00 per share, Open Lending’s acquisition by ANV Group Holdings for $3.15 per share, Simulations Plus’s deal with Altaris for $18.50 per share, and AstroNova’s cash sale to Arcline Investment Management at $29.00 per share. Investigators are examining whether these agreements include provisions that effectively block superior competing offers from entering the market.

Halper Sadeh LLC indicated that the firm may pursue litigation to secure increased compensation or additional disclosures for shareholders. The firm operates on a contingent fee basis, meaning investors do not incur out-of-pocket expenses for the review. Shareholders holding equity in these companies are invited to contact Daniel Sadeh or Zachary Halper at the firm’s New York office to discuss potential legal avenues.
