SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brodsky & Smith, LLC Announces Investigation of The Board of Directors of Cyan, Inc.

Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Cyan, Inc. ("Cyan” or "the Company") (NYSE: CYNI) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with the sale of the Company to Ciena Corporation (“Ciena”).

Under the terms of the transaction, Cyan shareholders will receive only cash and stock consideration equal to the value of 0.224 shares of Ciena common stock for each share of Cyan stock they own. The transaction values Cyan stock at only approximately $4.75 per share. The investigation concerns whether the Board of Cyan breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before agreeing to enter into this transaction, and whether Ciena is underpaying for Cyan. The transaction may both undervalue Cyan and would result in a substantial loss for many holders of Cyan stock. For example, on May 9, 2013, the same day as the Company’s initial public stock offering, Cyan stock traded at $11.27 per share.

If you own shares of Cyan and wish to discuss the legal ramifications of the investigation, or have any questions, you may e-mail or call the law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC who will, without obligation or cost to you, attempt to answer your questions.
