Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against Athlon Energy Inc. (“Athlon” or the “Company”) (NYSE:ATHL) concerning the proposed acquisition of the Company by Encana Corporation (“Encana”) (NYSE:ECA). Under the terms of the deal, Athlon stockholders will receive $58.50 in cash for each share of Athlon common stock they own. Including the assumption of senior notes, the deal is valued at approximately $7.1 billion.

The investigation concerns whether the Athlon Board of Directors violated its fiduciary duties by agreeing to the proposed transaction and whether the proposed consideration adequately values the Company’s common stock.
