NEW YORK, May 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Juan E. Monteverde, a partner at Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities firm headquartered in New York City, is investigating the Board of Directors of Overland Storage Inc. ("Overland" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: OVRL) for potential breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with the sale of the Company to Sphere 3D Corporation for approximately $81 million.  The Company's stockholders will receive 0.510594 shares of Sphere 3D shares, or roughly $4.43 for each share of Overland common stock they own. However, Overland's share price has traded at significantly higher prices for much of the past year, closing at $5.65 as recently as February 12, 2014.
