INVESTOR ALERT: Brower Piven Commences an Investigation into the Proposed Sale of The Valspar Corp. & Encourages Shareholders...

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 The Valspar Corporation (“Valspar” or the “Company”) (NYSE: VAL) regarding possible breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of law related to the Company’s entry into an agreement to be acquired by The Sherwin-Williams Company, in a transaction valued at approximately $11.3 billion.

Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of Valspar will receive $113.00 in cash for each share of Valspar 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.
