Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Micrel, Inc. (“Micrel” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:MCRL) related to the proposed acquisition of the Company by Microchip Technology Inc. (“Microchip”) (NASDAQ:MCHP). The transaction is valued at approximately $839 million. The Company’s shareholders will receive $14.00 per share in either cash or shares of Microchip common stock.

This investigation concerns whether the Board of Directors of Micrel breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before agreeing to enter into the proposed transaction, and whether the Company has disclosed all material information to shareholders about the transaction. Further, at least one analyst has set a price target of $18.00 for Micrel shares.
