WASHINGTON--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Finkelstein Thompson LLP is investigating potential claims on behalf of shareholders of Applied Signal Technology, Inc. (aApplied Signala or the aCompanya) (Nasdaq: APSG) concerning its potential acquisition by Raytheon Company. Under the terms of the offer, Raytheon will commence a tender offer to purchase all of Applied Signala™s outstanding shares for $38.00 per share in cash for an aggregate purchase price of $490 million.

The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the deal price to Applied Signala™s shareholders, the process by which Applied Signala™s directors considered the transaction, and potential conflicts of interests on the part of Applied Signal Board members. The tender offer price represents a mere 8% premium to Applied Signala™s closing price on December 17, 2010.
