The Law Office of Robbins LLP Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against Forest Oil Corporation
June 16, 2014 (San Diego, CA & Denver, CO) Shareholder rights attorneys at Robbins LLP announce that the firm filed a class action lawsuit on June 13, 2014, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado (the “Court”), on behalf of the shareholders of Forest Oil Corporation (“Forest Oil”) (NYSE: FST) against Forest Oil, its Board of Directors, and Sabine Oil & Gas LLC (“Sabine”), for, among other things, violations of sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder.
The complaint arises out of a May 6, 2014 press release announcing that Forest Oil had entered into a definitive merger agreement with Sabine, pursuant to which Forest Oil shareholders would receive 0.1 shares of Sabine, a privately held company, for each share of Forest Oil owned (the “Proposed Transaction”). The complaint seeks injunctive relief on behalf of the named plaintiffs and all other similarly situated shareholders of Forest Oil as of May 6, 2014 (the “Class”). The named plaintiffs are represented by Robbins LLP.
The named plaintiffs allege that certain of the defendants, in connection with the Proposed Transaction, breached or aided and abetted the other defendants’ breaches of their duties and obligations owed to Forest Oil shareholders. The complaint further alleges that, in an attempt to secure shareholder approval of the Proposed Transaction, the defendants filed a materially false and misleading registration statement on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in violation of the Exchange Act and their duties of candor and full disclosure. The omitted and/or misrepresented information is believed to be material to Forest Oil shareholders’ ability to make an informed decision whether to approve the Proposed Transaction.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than sixty days from June 16, 2014. If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact attorney Darnell R. Donahue of Robbins LLP at 800-350-6003, via the shareholder information form on our website, or by e-mail at info@robbinsllp.com.
