Bernstein Liebhard LLP is investigating whether the Board of Directors of H.J. Heinz Company (“Heinz” or the “Company”) (NYSE:HNZ) breached its fiduciary duty to its shareholders in agreeing to sell Heinz to Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital.
Under the terms of the agreement, Heinz shareholders will receive $72.50 in cash for each share they own. The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the price to Heinz shareholders and the process by which the Heinz Board of Directors considered and approved the transaction.
