EAGLE ROCK ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P. SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Former SEC Attorney Willie Briscoe and Powers Taylor LLP Investigate Sale to Vanguard Natural Resources, LLC

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 Eagle Rock Energy Partners, L.P. ("Eagle Rock") (NASDAQ: EROC) concerning the sale to Vanguard Natural Resources, LLC (NASDAQ: VNR). Under the terms of the agreement, Eagle Rock shareholders will only receive 0.185 units of Vanguard per each unit of Eagle Rock owned. Based on the closing price of Vanguard before the deal was announced, the consideration is valued at approximately $3.10 per unit, which is only a slight premium over the 52-week high and closing price of Egle Rock before the deal was announced.
