The investigation concerns whether the Pep Boys Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Pep Boys stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction and whether The Gores Group is underpaying for Pep Boys shares, thus unlawfully harming Pep Boys stockholders.  In particular, at least one analyst set a price target of $17.00 per Pep Boys share.
