NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. is investigating potential claims against Essendant Inc. (ESND) on behalf of stockholders concerning the proposed acquisition of the company by Staples Inc.

Pursuant to the proposed transaction, announced on September 14, 2018 and valued at approximately $482.7 million, Essendant stockholders will receive $12.80 in cash for each share of Essendant common stock owned.  The investigation focuses on whether Essendant and its Board of Directors violated securities laws and/or breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders by failing to conduct a fair process and whether and by how much this proposed transaction undervalues the Company.
