SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Commences An Investigation Into The Proposed Sale Of QEP Midstream Partners, LP 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 QEP Midstream Partners, LP (“QEP” or the “Company”) (NYSE: QEPM) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by Tesoro Logistics LP (“TLLP”).

Under the terms of the transaction, QEP shareholders are anticipated to receive 0.3088 TLLP common units for each QEP common unit held, representing a value of approximately $17.09 per QEP common unit.

The transaction may undervalue QEP 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 QEP stock at $20.00 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.
