SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Commences an Investigation into the Proposed Sale of Checkpoint Systems, Inc. & Encourages In...

The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that it is investigating potential legal claims against the board of directors of Checkpoint Systems, Inc. (“Checkpoint” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CKP) regarding possible breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of law related to the Company’s entry into an agreement to be acquired by an affiliate of CCL Industries Inc., in a transaction valued at approximately $443 million.

Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of Checkpoint will receive $10.15 in cash for each share of Checkpoint common stock held. 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. According to Yahoo! Finance, at least one analyst has issued a price target for Checkpoint stock at $13.00 per share.
