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 Answers Corporation (?Answers Corp.? or ?ANSW?) (NASDAQ: ANSW) related to the proposed buyout of Answers Corp. by AFCV Holdings, LLC, a portfolio company of the private equity firm Summit Partners. The definitive acquisition agreement, which was announced on February 3, 2011, involves a transaction valued at approximately $127 million. Under the proposed buyout, Answers Corp. shareholders will receive only $10.50 in cash each share of Answers Corp./ANSW common stock they hold.

The investigation relates to the fairness of the proposed transaction to Answers Corp. shareholders, possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Answers Corp. for approving this transaction, and whether Answers Corp.'s Board of Directors acted in the shareholders' best interests. In particular, the acquisition price is only an approximate 16% premium over Answers Corp.'s closing price the day before the announcement, and the company's stock price has increased nearly 50% over the past few months.

?Based on prior share prices, and other factors, the firms believe that the acquisition price may not be fair for Answers Corp. shareholders, and we are investigating the merger to ensure that the shareholders obtain the maximum value for their shares in this private-equity buyout,? said shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe.
