Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor LLP are investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Hastings Entertainment, Inc. (“Hastings”) (NasdaqCM: HAST) related to the merger with Draw Another Circle, LLC and Hendrix Acquisition Corp., which are owned, directly or indirectly, by Joel Weinshanker, for shareholders. Under the terms of the transaction Hastings shareholders will only receive $3 in cash for each share owned, well below the 52-week high of $5.45 and at least one analyst’s estimated value of $5.00 per share.

Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance believes the true inherent value of Hastings could be as high as $5.00 per share.
