STEVENSON, Md., Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 Blyth, Inc. (NYSE: BTH) ("Blyth" or the "Company") relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by The Carlyle Group LP.

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.

Under the terms of the transaction, Blyth shareholders are anticipated to receive $6.00 in cash for each share of Blyth common stock held.  According to Yahoo! Finance, at least one Wall Street analyst has issued a price target for Blyth stock at $40.00 per share.
