“The adoption of the Rights Plan is intended to provide the Board with time to make informed decisions and prevent any third party from obtaining control of Cubic in a manner and at a price that are not in the best interests of Cubic’s shareholders,” said David F. Melcher, Director of Cubic.
The rights plan does not deter an offer according to Cubic.
