It has been reported that efforts to sell Anixter may have stalled as potential buyers may have rejected the Company's price expectations. It had previously been reported that a French electrical- equipment distributor may have been willing to pay up to $110.00 per share for the Company. The investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Anixter for not acting in the Company's shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process.
