A provider of cloud-based business automation solutions, Sciquest Inc (NASDAQ:SQI) stock had been wobbling around without a clear direction up to the end of May, when it was announced that the company reached a deal to sell itself to private-equity firm Accel-KKR for $509 million. Sciquest shareholders are to receive $17.75 per share in cash, which constituted a 34% premium at that time. Several law firms started an investigation into the merger deal on suspicions that the board of directors failed to maximize shareholder valued by not holding out for a higher price. Although the company is not losing money, the profits are marginal. For the first quarter of 2016, Sciquest posted adjusted earnings of $0.09 per share on the back of $26.9 million. By offering such a hefty premium, Accel-KKR signaled its belief that Sciquest’s profitability can be improved.
At the end of the first quarter, roughly 26% of Sciquest Inc (NASDAQ:SQI) was held by 16 of the funds tracked by Insider Monkey, up from 15 registered at the end of December. Michael Murphy and Daniel Donoghue‘s Discovery Group was also betting on this stock, having also increased its stake by 21% during the quarter. According to its latest 13F filing, the fund held 1.79 million shares of Sciquest. Jim Simons‘ Renaissance Technologies has also indicated a 14% increase in its holding of the stock to 783,900 shares.
