Dr Pepper (DPS) Alert: Johnson Fistel Investigates Proposed Merger of Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc.; Are Shareholders Getting a Fair Deal?

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. (NYSE: DPS) ("Dr Pepper") breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed merger of the Company with Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. ("Keurig").

On January 29, 2018, Dr Pepper announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Keurig. Under the terms of the agreement, Dr Pepper shareholders will receive $103.75 per share in a special cash dividend and retain 13% of the combined company.
