SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Commences An Investigation Into The Proposed Sale Of Quality Distribution, Inc. And Encourage...

The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Quality Distribution, Inc. (“Quality Distribution” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: QLTY) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by funds advised by Apax Partners (“Apax”), a global private equity firm, in a transaction valued at approximately $800 million.

Under the terms of the transaction, Quality Distribution shareholders are anticipated to receive $16.00 in cash for each share of Quality Distribution common stock held. The transaction may undervalue Quality Distribution and may result in a substantial loss for many shareholders. For example, according to Yahoo! Finance, at least one Wall Street analyst has issued a price target for Quality Distribution stock at $18.00 per share.

The firm’s investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company’s Board of Directors failed to satisfy their duties to shareholders, including whether the Board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the Board obtained the best price possible for the Company’s shares of common stock.
