SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Acme Packet, Inc. - APKT

NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Acme Packet, Inc. ("Acme Packet" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: APKT) (ISIN: US0047641065) (CUSIP: 004764106) concerning the proposed acquisition of Acme Packet by Oracle Corporation in a transaction valued at approximately $1.7 Billion, net of Acme Packet's Cash.
