The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, founded by a former state prosecutor and enforcement attorney for the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and the securities litigation law firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating potential legal claims against the Board of Directors of Global Crossing Limited ("Global Crossing" or "GLBC") (NASDAQ: GLBC) related to the proposed buyout of Global Crossing by Level 3 Communications, Inc. ("Level 3"). The definitive acquisition agreement involves a total transaction valued at approximately $3 billion, including assumption of debt. Under the stock-for-stock transaction, Global Crossing shareholders will receive a fixed ratio of 16 shares of Level 3 common stock for each share of Global Crossing/GLBC common or preferred stock they hold.

The investigation relates to the fairness of the proposed transaction to Global Crossing shareholders, possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Global Crossing for approving this transaction, and whether Global Crossing's Board of Directors acted in the shareholders' best interests. This stock-for-stock transaction represents a value of only $23.04 per share to Global Crossing shareholders. Based on Global Crossing's historical share prices, and other factors, the firms believe that the acquisition price may not be fair for the shareholders. In addition, the firms are investigating whether Global Crossing's Board of Directors obtained the best value for shareholders, adequately considered all viable alternatives, and properly shopped the company before entering into the acquisition agreement.
