Law Firm Brower Piven Announces Investigation of BigBand Networks, Inc.

The law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty to current shareholders of BigBand Networks, Inc. (“BigBand”) (NASDAQ: BBND) and other violations of state law by the board of directors of BigBand relating to the proposed acquisition of the company by ARRIS Group, Inc. (“ARRIS”). The firm’s investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the board breached their fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value.

On October 11, 2011, ARRIS and BigBand jointly announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement whereby ARRIS will acquire BigBand for $2.24 per share in cash. However, according to Yahoo! Finance, at least one analyst has set a high price target of $2.75 per share.
