NEW YORK, March 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Harwood Feffer LLP (www.hfesq.com) is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of Archipelago Learning, Inc. ("Archipelago" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ARCL) concerning the agreement to be purchased by Plato Learning ("Plato") in a transaction valued at approximately $291 million.

On March 5, 2012, it was announced that Plato and Archipelago had entered into an agreement pursuant to which Plato will acquire Archipelago. Under the agreement, Archipelago shareholders will receive $11.10 per share held. The offer price represents a small premium over the closing price of Archipelago shares on the last trading day before the deal was announced and virtually no premium over the trading high during the past year.
Our investigation concerns whether the board of directors is fulfilling its fiduciary duties, maximizing the value of Archipelago, disclosing all material benefits and costs and obtaining full and fair consideration for Archipelago shareholders.
If you own Archipelago shares and wish to discuss this matter with us, or have any questions concerning your rights and interests with regard to this matter, please contact:
