Bernstein Liebhard LLP is investigating whether the Board of Directors of TPC Group Inc. (“TPC Group” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TPCG) breached its fiduciary duty to its shareholders by entering into a definitive merger agreement with investment funds sponsored by First Reserve Corporation and SK Capital Partners to take the Company private.

Under the terms of the agreement, TPC Group shareholders will receive $40.00 in cash for each share they own.  The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the price to TPC Group shareholders and the process by which the TPC Group Board of Directors considered and approved the transaction.
