NEW YORK, Oct. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The fairness of the proposed acquisition of Einstein Noah Restaurant Group ("BAGL" or the "Company") by JAB Holding Company ("JAB") is the subject of an examination by WeissLaw LLP, a national class action, shareholder rights law firm. The examination focuses on possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of BAGL for agreeing to sell the Company to JAB. On September 29, 2014, the Company announced it had reached a definitive agreement for JAB to acquire all outstanding shares of BAGL in an all cash transaction valued at approximately $374 million. Under the terms of the agreement, BAGL shareholders will receive $20.25 cash for each share of BAGL they own.

WeissLaw is investigating whether BAGL's Board acted to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement with JAB.

Given these facts, WeissLaw is investigating the Board of Directors' decision to sell BAGL and whether BAGL shareholder will obtain their fair and proportionate share of the Company's continued success and future growth prospects.
