PENFORD (PENX) SHAREHOLDER ALERT - Andrews & Springer LLC Is Seeking More Cash for Shareholders of Penford Corporation

Andrews & Springer LLC, a boutique securities class action law firm focused on representing shareholders nationwide, is investigating potential breach of fiduciary duty claims against the Board of Directors of Penford Corporation (NASDAQ: PENX) (“Penford” or the “Company”) relating to the sale of the Company to Ingredion Incorporated (“Ingredion”). On October 15, 2014, the two companies announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Ingredion will acquire Penford in a merger in a deal worth $340 million. As a result of the merger, Penford shareholders are only anticipated to receive $19 per share in cash in exchange for each share of Penford.

Andrews & Springer is also investigating whether Penford directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the company and maximize shareholder value. Additionally, our firm is also investigating the Company’s financial advisor, Deutsche Bank, and whether Deutsche Bank conducted a fair sales process. Andrews & Springer’s investigation has so far uncovered that the process leading up to the announcement of the merger appears to contain certain conflicts of interest, thus making the process and consideration unfair.
