SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Announces Investigation Of Annie’s, Inc. In Connection With The Proposed Sale Of The Company To General Mills, Inc.

STEVENSON, Md.--()--The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Annie’s, Inc. (“Annie’s” or the “Company”) (NYSE: BNNY) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by General Mills, Inc. (“General Mills”).

On September 8, 2014, General Mills announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Annie’s in a transaction valued at approximately $820 million. The transaction is expected to close later in calendar 2014.

Under terms of the transaction, General Mills will acquire Annie's for $46.00 per share in cash. The firm’s investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value before agreeing to enter into the transaction, and whether General Mills is underpaying for Annie’s shares.
