Why is there an investigation?
On June 3, 2025, Sitio announced that it had agreed to merge with Viper in an all-stock transaction under which each Sitio shareholder will receive 0.4855 shares of Class A common stock of a new holding company (“pro forma Viper”) for each share of Sitio Class A common stock. The exchange values Sitio at approximately $19.41 per share. After the closing, Sitio shareholders will own only 20% of the combined company.
Notably, according to TipRanks, the implied deal price of $19.41 per Sitio share is below the price targets for Sitio of at least four Wall Street analysts:
- Michael Scialla of Stephens ($27.00)
- Mark Lear of Piper Sandler ($26.00)
- William Janela of Mizuho Securities ($22.00)
- Betty Jiang of Barclays ($21.00)
“We are investigating whether the Sitio Board of Directors acted in the best interests of Sitio shareholders in approving the merger,” explained Joshua Fruchter, a founding partner of Wohl & Fruchter. “This includes whether the exchange ratio agreed upon is fair to Sitio shareholders, and whether all material information regarding the transaction has been fully disclosed.”
