However, PLX Technology’s financial performance improved in recent years. Its annual Revenue rose from $81.07million in 2008 to $115.79million in 2011.
Therefore the investigation for NASDAQ:PLXT investors concerns whether the proposed transaction is unfair to PLX Technology stockholders. Specifically, the investigation focuses on whether the PLX Technology 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.
