DALLAS--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--[ The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC ], founded by a former state prosecutor and enforcement attorney for the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and the law firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating potential legal claims against the Board of Directors of [ CPI International Inc ]. (aCPIIa or the acompanya) (NASDAQ: CPII) related to the proposed acquisition of CPII by the private equity group Veritas Capital.

The definitive acquisition agreement, which was announced on November 26, 2010, involves a transaction valued at approximately $525 million under which CPII shareholders will receive a cash payment of $19.50 for each share of CPII common stock they hold. Although the acquisition price represents an approximate 26% premium over CPIIa™s closing price the day before the merger announcement, based on CPIIa™s historical share prices and other factors, the proposed going private transaction may not adequately value CPII shares. The investigation relates to possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of CPII for approving this transaction and whether CPIIa™s Board of Directors acted in the shareholdersa™ best interests and properly shopped the deal.
