NEW YORK, Aug. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, has launched an investigation into whether the officers or directors of Square, Inc. (NYSE: SQ) breached their fiduciary duties or violated the federal securities laws in connection with the company’s proposed merger with Afterpay Limited (Other OTC: AFTPY).

Click here to learn more and participate in the action.

On August 1, 2021, Square announced that it had entered into an agreement to merge with Afterpay in a deal valued at approximately $29 billion. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Afterpay stockholders will receive 0.375 shares of Square common stock for each share of Afterpay common stock owned. The deal is scheduled to close in the first quarter 2022.

Bragar Eagel & Squire is concerned that Square’s board of directors oversaw an unfair process and ultimately agreed to an inadequate merger agreement. Accordingly, the firm is investigating all relevant aspects of the deal and is committed to securing the best result possible for Square’s stockholders.
