BALA CYNWYD, Pa., Feb. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of UIL Holdings Corporation. ("UIL" or "the Company") (NYSE-UIL-News) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with the sale of the Company to Iberdrola USA. ("Iberdrola").

Under the terms of the transaction, UIL shareholders will receive only one share in the newly-created company and $10.50 in cash for each share of UIL stock they own. The investigation concerns whether the Board of UIL breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before agreeing to enter into this transaction, and whether Iberdrola is underpaying for UIL.
