Pomerantz Haudek Grossman & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Standard Microsystems Corporation ("Standard Microsystems" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SMSC) (ISIN: US8536261097) concerning the proposed acquisition of Standard Microsystems by Microchip Technology Incorporated in a cash transaction valued at approximately $939 million.

The investigation concerns whether the Standard Microsystems directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and maximize shareholder value. Under the terms of the agreement, Standard Microsystems shareholders would receive $37.00 in cash per share of Standard Microsystems common stock. However, the price to EBITDA and revenue multiples are below that of comparable transactions.

Standard Microsystems shareholders seeking more information about this acquisition are advised to contact Rebecca Jarmon at rjarmon@pomlaw.com or 212-661-1100 or 888-476-6529, ext. 314.
