Ademi LLP Scrutinizes $22.6 Billion Schneider Electric Buyout of PTC
Milwaukee-based law firm Ademi LLP has launched an investigation into the $22.6 billion acquisition of PTC by Schneider Electric, questioning whether the $205-per-share all-cash offer sufficiently compensates public shareholders or prioritizes the interests of company insiders over the broader investor base.

Ademi LLP is inviting shareholders to review their rights regarding the transaction, noting that the investigation seeks to determine if the board of directors fulfilled its fiduciary obligations throughout the approval process.
