BENSALEM, Pa.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that it is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of Zygo Corporation ("Zygo" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:ZIGO) related to an unsolicited purchase offer the Company received from II-VI Incorporated ("II-VI"), a manufacturer of specialty optical components, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Zygo common stock for $10 per share in cash or II-VI common stock (subject to a limitation on the aggregate amount of II-VI common stock). The cash-or-stock offer values Zygo at approximately $170 million, based on approximately 17 million shares outstanding as of November 2, 2009.

On January 7, 2010, Zygo issued a press release stating that the Company plans to hire an independent financial advisor to evaluate the offer. The Company also said it is in the late stages of implementing a substantial reorganization of its business. The investigation concerns potential breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law related to approval of the transaction by the board of directors.
