The M&A Class Action Firm has initiated an investigation into the fairness of Aris Water Solutions' (NYSE: ARIS) proposed sale to Western Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: WES). The transaction, announced on August 7, 2025, offers Aris shareholders either 0.625 common units of Western Midstream or $25.00 per share in cash, with a maximum total cash consideration of $415 million [1]. The implied deal price of $25.00 per share is significantly below the price targets set by multiple Wall Street analysts, raising concerns among shareholders and prompting the investigation.

The deal price is well below the 52-week high of $33.95 per share, suggesting an opportunistic purchase. Several Aris shareholders have expressed disappointment on SeekingAlpha, with one investor commenting, "So aris mgmt is just going to roll over and cave in to $25? Really?" Another investor asserted that "this is [a] horrible deal for individual shareholders....the acquisition premium looks bad considering this was trading at $30s in March" [1].

The M&A Class Action Firm, headquartered in New York City, has a successful track record in trial and appellate courts. The firm is investigating whether the Aris Board of Directors acted in the best interests of Aris shareholders in approving the merger. Juan Monteverde, Esq., can be contacted at (212) 971-1341 for more information [2].
