Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of The Jones Group Inc. ("Jones Group" or the "Company") (NYSE:JNY) concerning the proposed acquisition of the Company by Sycamore Partners ("Sycamore"). Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, Jones Group stockholders will receive $15.00 in cash for each share of Jones Group owned, valuing the transaction at approximately $2.2 billion, including net debt.

The investigation concerns whether the Jones Group Board of Directors violated its fiduciary duties by agreeing to the proposed transaction and whether the $15.00 per share proposed consideration adequately values Jones Group's common stock.
