BALA CYNWYD, Pa., Aug. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of El Paso Pipeline Partners LP ("El Paso" or the "Company") (NYSE -EPB-News) relating to the proposed acquisition by Kinder Morgan, Inc. ("Kinder Morgan").

Under the terms of the transaction, El Paso shareholders will receive only $4.65 in cash and 0.9451 of a share of Kinder Morgan stock for each share of El Paso stock they own. The transaction values El Paso stock at approximately $38.79 per share. The investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of El Paso for not acting in the Company's shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process. The transaction may undervalue the Company and would result in a loss for many long-term El Paso shareholders.
