What is this Case About: National Instruments Corporation (NATI) Failed to Disclose a Formal Acquisition Offer from Emerson Electric Co. (EMR)

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose material information that artificially deflated the price of National Instruments common stock. Plaintiff alleges that while National Instruments was repurchasing National Instruments stock, defendants knew that National Instruments had received a formal acquisition offer from Emerson to purchase all outstanding shares of National Instruments common stock at prices significantly above its then-current market price and significantly above the price at which National Instruments was repurchasing its common stock from unsuspecting class members. Accordingly, National Instruments had an obligation to disclose that it had received a formal acquisition offer from Emerson or abstain from purchasing National Instruments stock from unsuspecting investors.
