NEW YORK--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--The Law Office of Joseph Klein is investigating the Board of Directors of Hughes Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: HUGH) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with the sale of the Company to EchoStar Corporation (Nasdaq: SATS). Under the terms of the proposed transaction, Hughes stockholders will receive $60.70 in cash per share for a transaction value of approximately $2 billion, including assumed debt.

The investigation concerns whether the Hughes Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Hughes stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction and whether EchoStar is underpaying for Hughes shares. According to Thomson/First Call, at least one analyst set a price target of $65 per share and Hughes stock traded at $63.26 per share as recently as February 10, 2011.
