Bernstein Liebhard LLP is investigating whether the Board of Directors of Dole Food Company, Inc. (“Dole” or the “Company”) (NYSE: DOLE) is breaching its fiduciary duty to its shareholders in connection with a proposal by David H. Murdock (“Mr. Murdock”), the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to take the Company private.
Under the terms of the proposal, Dole shareholders will receive $12.00 in cash for each share of common stock they own. The investigation is focused on whether Mr. Murdock’s proposal undervalues the Company’s shares.
If you are interested in discussing your rights as a Dole shareholder and/or have information relating to the matter, please contact U. Seth Ottensoser at (877) 779-1414 or Ottensoser@bernlieb.com.
