The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Courier Corporation (“Courier” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CRRC) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by Quad/Graphics, Inc. (“Quad/Graphics”).

On January 16, 2015, Courier and Quad/Graphics announced the signing of a definitive agreement pursuant to which Quad/Graphics will acquire Courier in a transaction valued at approximately $260 million. Under the terms of the transaction, shareholders of Courier will receive the equivalent of a total purchase price of $20.50 per share, consisting of cash and shares of Quad/Graphics Class A common stock.

The transaction is expected to close by mid-year, though Courier shareholders will most likely be asked to vote on the transaction well before that time.

The firm’s investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company’s Board of Directors failed to satisfy their duties to shareholders, including whether the Board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the Board obtained the best price possible for the Company’s shares of common stock. In particular, according to Yahoo! Finance, at least one Wall Street analyst has issued a price target for Courier stock at $21.00 per share.
