Bernstein Liehhard LLP is investigating whether the Board of Directors of The Edelman Financial Group Inc. (“TEFG” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: EF) is breaching its fiduciary duty to its shareholders in agreeing to sell TEFG to affiliates of Lee Equity Partners, LLC.
Under the terms of the agreement, TEFG shareholders will receive $8.85 in cash for each share of common stock they own.
