BLUE NILE (NILE) ALERT: Johnson & Weaver, LLP Launches an Investigation into the Fairness of Price and Process in Proposed Sale of Blue Nile, Inc.; Are Shareholders Receiving a Fair Price?

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Blue Nile, Inc. (NASDAQ: NILE) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to investor group Bain Capital Private Equity and Bow Street LLC. Blue Nile operates as an online retailer of diamonds and fine jewelry worldwide.

On November 7, 2016, Blue Nile announced it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Bain Capital and Bow Street. Under the terms of the agreement, Blue Nile shareholders will receive $40.75 per share in cash for each share held.

The investigation concerns whether the Blue Nile board failed to satisfy their duties to the Company shareholders, including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible for Blue Nile shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson & Weaver is investigating whether the proposed deal price represents adequate consideration.
