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 LoopNet, Inc. ("LoopNet" or "LOOP") (NASDAQ: LOOP) related to the buyout of LoopNet by CoStar Group, Inc. ("CoStar").

The definitive merger agreement, which was announced on April 27, 2011, involves a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $860 million.

The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2011.

The firms are investigating the fairness of the proposed transaction to LoopNet shareholders and whether LoopNet's Board of Directors acted in the shareholders' best interests.
