Kendall Law Group, led by former federal judge Joe Kendall, is investigating American Italian Pasta Co. (NASDAQ: AIPC) for shareholders in connection with the proposed merger with Ralcorp Holdings Inc. The national securities firm’s investigation seeks to determine whether AIPC and its Board breached their fiduciary duties by entering into the agreement without properly shopping for a deal that would provide better value for shareholders.

On June 21, 2010, the companies announced that they had entered into an agreement for AIPC to be acquired by Ralcorp in a transaction valued at approximately $1.2 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, Ralcorp will acquire all outstanding shares of AIPC common stock for $53.00 per share. In addition, all directors and officers of AIPC will continue in their current roles in the surviving corporation.
