Bernstein Liebhard LLP is investigating whether the Board of Directors of Peet’s Coffee & Tea, Inc. (“Peet” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PEET) breached its fiduciary duty to its shareholders in agreeing to sell Peet to Joh. A. Benckiser.
Under the terms of the agreement, Peet shareholders will receive $73.50 in cash for each share they own. The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the price to Peet shareholders and the process by which the Peet Board of Directors considered and approved the transaction.
