The investigation concerns whether Chesapeake and its board violated the federal securities laws and/or breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to, among other things: (1) obtain the best possible consideration for Chesapeake shareholders; and (2) disclose all material information necessary for Chesapeake shareholders to adequately assess and value the merger consideration. On behalf of Chesapeake shareholders, Halper Sadeh LLC may seek increased consideration for shareholders, additional disclosures and information concerning the proposed transaction, or other relief and benefits.
