STEVENSON, Md., May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 Broadcom Corporation ("Broadcom" or the "Company") (NasdaqGS: BRCM) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by Avago Technologies Limited.
Under the terms of the transaction, Broadcom shareholders are anticipated to receive $54.50 in cash, 0.4378 shares of the newly-formed company, or a combination thereof, for each share of Broadcom common stock they own. 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.
