STEVENSON, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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 Vectren Corporation (NYSE: VVC) (“Vectren” or the “Company”) relating to the proposed buyout of Vectren by CenterPoint Energy, Inc.

Under the terms of the agreement, Vectren shareholders are anticipated to receive $72.00 in cash for each share of Vectren common stock held.
