NEW YORK, Feb. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The fairness of the proposed acquisition of Silicon Image, Inc. ("SIMG" or the "Company") by Lattice Semiconductor Corporation ("Lattice") is being investigated by WeissLaw LLP, a national class action, shareholder rights law firm. The investigation focuses on possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of SIMG for agreeing to sell the Company to Lattice. On January 27, 2015, the Company announced a definitive agreement for Lattice to acquire SIMG in a transaction valued at approximately $600 million. Under the terms of the agreement, SIMG shareholders will receive $7.30 in cash for each SIMG share they own.

WeissLaw is investigating whether SIMG's Board acted to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement. Notably, prior to the announcement, at least one analyst set a target price of $10.00 per share, or approximately $3.00 above the offer price. In addition, the Company reported revenue of $70.3 million for the third quarter of 2014, as compared with $59.5 million in the previous quarter.

Given these facts, WeissLaw is investigating whether SIMG's Board acted in the best interests of SIMG's public shareholders by actively shopping the Company to maximize shareholder value prior to entering into the agreement with Lattice.
