WHOLE FOODS MARKET, INC. SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Former SEC Attorney Willie Briscoe Believes the Acquisition by Amazon.com, Inc. May be Unfair to Shareholders

Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Whole Foods Market, Inc. ("Whole Foods") (NASDAQ: WFM) concerning the acquisition by Amazon.com (News - Alert), Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, valued at approximately $13.7 billion, Whole Foods shareholders will only receive $42.00 per Whole Foods share owned. The consideration is significantly lower than at least one analyst's estimated value of $47.00 per share.

The investigation centers on whether the Board of Directors of Whole Foods is acting in the shareholders' best interests, whether the board considered alternatives to the acquisition, and whether the board has employed an adequate process to review and act on the proposed transaction. Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance believes the true inherent value of Whole Foods could be as high as $47.00 per share.
