SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Launches An Investigation Into The Proposed Sale Of The Pantry, 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 The Pantry, Inc. ("The Pantry" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: PTRY) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. ("Couche-Tard").

On December 18, 2014, The Pantry and Couche-Tard announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Couche-Tard will acquire The Pantry in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately US $1.7 billion including debt assumed.

Under the terms of the transaction, The Pantry shareholders are expected to receive $36.75 in cash for each share of The Pantry common stock they own. The transaction is expecte to close in the first half of 2015, though The Pantry shareholders will most likely be asked to vote on the transaction well before that time.



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.
