Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. announces that it is investigating potential legal claims against the board of directors of ANN INC. (“ANN” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ANN) regarding possible breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of law related to the Company’s entry into an agreement to be acquired by Ascena Retail Group, Inc. (“Ascena”) (NASDAQ GS: ASNA), in a transaction valued at approximately $2.0 billion.

Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of ANN will receive $37.34 in cash and 0.68 shares of Ascena for each share of ANN they own. Based on Ascena’s closing price on May 15, 2015, ANN shareholders would have received compensation valued at approximately $47.00 per share.

The investigation concerns whether ANN’s board of directors failed to adequately shop the Company and obtain the best possible value for ANN’s shareholders before entering into an agreement with Ascena. According to Yahoo! Finance, at least one analyst has issued a price target for ANN stock at $48.00 per share.
