NEW YORK--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Pomerantz Haudek Grossman & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Magma Design Automation, Inc. (aMagmaa or the aCompanya) (NASDAQ:LAVA) concerning the proposed acquisition of Magma by Synopsis, Inc. in a cash transaction valued at $507 million.

The investigation concerns whether the board of directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and maximize shareholder value.

One analyst has set a share price as high as $11.00 per share. Moreover, Magma traded over the offer price as recently as July 7, 2011, when it traded as high as $8.50.
