THE PANTRY, INC. SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Former SEC Attorney Willie Briscoe and Powers Taylor LLP Investigate Sale to Couche-Tard Inc.


Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor LLP are investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of The Pantry, Inc. ("Pantry") (NASDAQ: PTRY) concerning the sale to Couche-Tard Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Pantry shareholders will only receive $36.75 in cash for each share owned, which is only a 27% premium over the closing price before the deal was announced and virtually no premium over the 52-week high.
