FT  is investigating potential claims on behalf of shareholders of 3Com Corp. (NasdaqGS: COMS) arising from the Company’s announcement of its intent to be acquired by Hewlett-Packard Co.

Under the terms of the proposed agreement, 3Com shareholders will receive $7.90 for each share of 3Com common stock they own. The transaction has a total value of $2.7 billion.

The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the price to 3Com shareholders and the process by which the 3Com Board of Directors considered and approved the transaction. 3Com took in $1.3 billion in revenue last year on its networking and securities solutions products, and has been rapidly gaining market share in China.
