BALA CYNWYD, Pa., Feb. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Acme Packet, Inc. ("Acme" or the "Company") (Nasdaq- APKT) relating to the proposed acquisition by Oracle Corporation ("Oracle").

Under the terms of the transaction, Acme shareholders will receive only $29.25 in cash for each share of Acme stock they own. The investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Acme for not acting in the Company's shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process to Oracle. The transaction may undervalue the Company and will result in a loss for many long term shareholders. For example Acme stock traded at $35.99 as recently as February 16, 2012 and $82.61 on April 29, 2011. In addition, an analyst has set a $30.00 per share price target for Acme stock.
