Robbins Umeda LLP Announces an Investigation of the Acquisition of K-Tron International, Inc. by Hillenbrand, Inc.

Robbins Umeda LLP has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the officers and members of the Board of Directors of K-Tron International, Inc. ("K-Tron") (NASDAQ-GS: KTII) in connection with their actions in causing K-Tron to enter into a definitive merger agreement with Hillenbrand, Inc. ("Hillenbrand") (NYSE: HI). Under the terms of the merger agreement, K-Tron shareholders will receive $150 per K-Tron share in cash. The deal is expected to close at the end of March 2010. Upon completion of the acquisition, K-Tron will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hillenbrand.

Robbins Umeda LLP's investigation concerns whether K-Tron's Board of Directors' acceptance and recommendation of Hillenbrand's offer was fair and designed to secure the best possible price for all K-Tron shareholders.

If you are a shareholder of K-Tron, and would like more information about your rights as a shareholder, please contact attorney Lauren Levi at 800-350-6003 or by e-mail at [e-mail].
