SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Buckeye Technologies, Inc. - BKI

NEW YORK, April 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Buckeye Technologies, Inc. ("Buckeye" or the "Company") (NYSE: BKI) (ISIN: US1182551085) (CUSIP: 118255108) concerning the proposed acquisition of Buckeye Technologies, Inc. by Georgia-Pacific, LLC in a transaction valued at approximately $1.5 billion, including debt.

The investigation concerns whether the Buckeye directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and maximize shareholder value.  Under the terms of the agreement, Buckeye shareholders will be entitled to receive $37.50 per share in cash for each share of Buckeye common stock.  However, the price to EBITDA and Revenue multiples are below comparable transactions' averages, and at least one analyst has set a target price of $40 per share for Buckeye common stock.

Buckeye shareholders seeking more information about this acquisition are advised to contact Robert Willoughby at [email protected] or 212-661-1100 or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.

The firm is also investigating actions on behalf of shareholders for the following companies: Arbitron Inc., Net1 Ueps Technologies, Inc., Universal Technical Institute, Inc., Telanetix, Inc., Somerset Hills Bancorp, BioClinica Inc., and Gardner Denver, Inc.
