The investigation by a law firm focus on potential breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Intellon Corporation (Public, NASDAQ:ITLN) arising out of their attempt to sell Intellon Corp to. Atheros Communications, Inc. Both companies announced on September 08, 2009, that the companies have entered into a definitive agreement for Atheros Communications, Inc. to acquire Intellon Corp. in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $244 million, or $181 million net of Intellon's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2009. Under the terms of the proposed agreement entered into by the parties, the overall acquisition consideration consists of Atheros common stock and equivalents (including the assumption of outstanding Intellon restricted stock units and stock options) representing between 45 and 55 percent of the total consideration, with the remainder paid in cash, providing an overall value of approximately $7.30 per share, based on the five-day average closing price of Atheros as of September 4, 2009. Intellon Corp announced that for each share of Intellon common stock, Intellon shareholders may elect to receive either: (1) approximately 0.135 shares of Atheros common stock and approximately $3.60 in cash; (2) $7.30 in cash; or (3) approximately 0.267 shares of Atheros common stock.

But according to an investigation by a law firm “the transaction appears to be unfair” to current investors of Intellon Corporation (Public, NASDAQ:ITLN) because the Intellon board failed “to conduct an open and fair auction process for Intellon Corporation” and the “offer to purchase Intellon Corporation appears opportunistically timed to take advantage of the current economic downturn”. Another investigation “concerns whether the merger consideration is adequate and whether the Intellon Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Intellon shareholders by agreeing to a strict no-solicitation provision and an $8.5 million termination fee that will all but ensure that no superior proposal will ever be forthcoming.”
