Litigation Relating to the Offer and the Merger
Following the announcement of the Merger Agreement, the following actions relating to the Offer and the Merger were commenced.
Lenell Action
On March 8, 2016, a putative class action lawsuit on behalf of a putative class of public Company stockholders, captioned Lenell v. Javelin Mortgage Investment Corp., et al., Case No. 2016 CA 000164 was filed in the Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Indian River County, Florida (the Lenell Action) against the Company, the individual members of the Board (the Individual Defendants), ARMOUR, ACM and Acquisition. The complaint generally alleges that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties of loyalty, due care, independence, candor, good faith and fair dealing in connection with the Tender Offer and Merger, claiming, among other things, that the Individual Defendants failed to take steps to maximize the value of the Company to its public stockholders: failed to properly value the Company; ignored or failed to protect against conflicts of interest; and failed to disclose all material information about the Transactions. The complaint also alleges that the Company, ARMOUR and ACM aided and abetted the Individual Defendants alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. Among other things, the complaint seeks an order declaring that the Lenell Action is properly maintainable as a class action; declaring and decreeing that the Merger Agreement is unlawful and unenforceable because it was purportedly entered into in breach of the fiduciary duties of the Individual Defendants; enjoining the consummation of the Merger; directing the Individual Defendants to exercise their fiduciary duties to obtain a transaction which is in the best interests of the Companys stockholders; rescinding, to the extent already implemented, the Merger or any of the terms thereof; awarding the plaintiff the costs and disbursements, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, of the action; and granting such other and further equitable relief as the Court may deem just and proper. The Company and the other defendants believe the Lenell Action lacks merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.
On March 9, 2016, the Company and the other defendants, through counsel, delivered to the plaintiffs counsel written demand for the withdrawal of the Lenell Action on the basis that the Companys Bylaws contain an exclusive forum selection provision that designates the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, or, if that Court does not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division (the Exclusive Forum) as the sole and exclusive forum for, among other things, any action asserting a claim of breach of any duty owed by any director or officer or other employee of the [Company] to the [Company] or to the stockholders of the [Company] and that, therefore, the Lenell Action was improperly filed in the Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Indian River County, Florida. As of March 10, 2016, the plaintiff had not withdrawn his complaint. The Company and the Individual Defendants, in their capacities as directors and officers of the Company, intend to file a
1
motion seeking the dismissal of the Lenell Action against them on the basis of the Exclusive Forum provision. The Company and the Individual Defendants may be unsuccessful in their efforts to obtain the dismissal of the Lenell Action against them on such basis. Even if the Company and the Individual Defendants are successful in such efforts, the plaintiff may seek to file a substantially similar complaint against them in the Exclusive Forum.
Stourbridge Action
Also on March 8, 2016, a putative class action lawsuit on behalf of a putative class of public Company stockholders, captioned Stourbridge Investments Ltd. v. Staton, et al., Case No. 24C16001542 was filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland (the Stourbridge Action) against the Individual Defendants, the Company, ARMOUR and Acquisition. The complaint generally alleges that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties of care, good faith, loyalty and candor in connection with the Tender Offer and Merger, claiming, among other things, that the Individual Defendants failed to properly value the Company; failed to take steps to maximize the value of the Company to its public stockholders and took steps to avoid competitive bidding and to give ARMOUR an unfair advantage by failing to adequately solicit other potential acquirors or alternative transactions; failed to provide the Companys stockholders with material information; and erected unreasonable barriers to other third-party bidders. The complaint also alleges that the Company and ARMOUR aided and abetted the Individual Defendants alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. Among other things, the complaint seeks an order declaring that the Stourbridge Action is properly maintainable as a class action and certifying the plaintiff as class representative; enjoining the consummation of the Merger: awarding the plaintiff the costs and disbursements, including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, in such action; and granting such other and further equitable relief as the Court may be just and proper. The Company and the other defendants believe the Stourbridge Action lacks merit and intend to vigorously defend the action.
