Chapman Capital Makes Quick Work of Embarcadero Techn (EMBT)

From 13D Tracker

On Friday, Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: EMBT), an activist target of Chapman Capital, announced they entered a definitive agreement to be acquired by an affiliate of private equity firm Thoma Cressey Bravo in a transaction valued at approximately $200 million, or $7.20 per share in cash. Chapman Capital said they would support the agreement.

On March 7, 2007, Chapman Capital filed a Schedule 13D demanding that Embarcadero resume negotiations with TCB or other bidders regarding the sale of the Company.

Chapman Capital has also recently called for the sale of FSI Int’l (Nasdaq: FSII) and eSpeed Inc. (Nasdaq: ESPD). He is also actively targeting a spin-off/sale of Cypress Semiconductor (NYSE: CY).

Another Chapman target, Sunterra Corporation (OTC: SNRR), recently announced a sale, which Chapman supported.
