The Law Firm of Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Announces Investigation Into Possible Breaches of Fiduciary Duty by the Board of Ralcorp Holdings, Inc. in Connection with Rejection of Proposal from ConAgra Foods

NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky is investigating the Board of Directors of Ralcorp Holdings, Inc. ("Ralcorp" or the "Company") (NYSE: RAH) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with the rejection of an unsolicited merger proposal from ConAgra Foods ("ConAgra") (NYSE: CAG).  Under the terms of the proposed transaction, Ralcorp shareholders would have received $94.00 per share in cash.

The investigation concerns whether the Board of Ralcorp is acting in Ralcorp shareholders' best interests by refusing to enter into negotiations with ConAgra and rejecting the proposal.  The $94.00 per share offer represents the third unsolicited takeover offer from ConAgra.  In a Company press release, Ralcorp Chairman of the Board William P. Stiritz indicated that the proposal was rejected in favor of the Board's previously approved decision to separate Post Foods and Ralcorp into two publicly-traded entities.  On August 12, 2011, the day Ralcorp rejected the ConAgra offer, Ralcorp stock closed at almost $15.00 below ConAgra's proposed purchase price.
