SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Commences An Investigation Into The Proposed Sale Of Epiq Systems, Inc. And Encourages Investors To Contact The Firm For Additional Information

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 Epiq Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: EPIQ) (“Epiq Systems” or the “Company”) relating to the proposed buyout of Epiq Systems by OMERS Private Equity (“OMERS”), the private equity arm of the OMERS pension plan, and funds managed by Harvest Partners, LP.

Under the terms of the agreement, Epiq Systems shareholders are anticipated to receive $16.50 in cash for each share of Epiq Systems common stock held. The transaction may undervalue the Company and would result in no real gain or a loss for many shareholders of Epiq Systems, especially given that the Company’s 52-week high is $16.83.

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.

If you currently own common stock of Epiq Systems and believe that the proposed buyout price is too low, or you would like to learn more about the investigation being conducted by Brower Piven, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentinvestigations.html.
