The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, founded by a former state prosecutor and enforcement attorney for the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and the securities litigation law firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating potential legal claims against the Board of Directors of Epicor Software Corporation (“Epicor Software” or “EPIC”) (NASDAQ: EPIC) related to the proposed buyout of Epicor Software by the private equity firm Apax Partners. The going private agreement, which was announced on April 4, 2011, involves an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $976 million. Under the proposed buyout, Epicor Software shareholders will receive $12.50 in cash for each share of Epicor Software/EPIC common stock they hold. Apax will commence a tender offer no later than April 8, 2011, and the transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2011.

The investigation relates to the fairness of the proposed transaction to Epicor Software shareholders and whether Epicor Software’s Board of Directors acted in the shareholders’ best interests. Although the acquisition price represents an approximate 11% premium over Epicor Software’s closing price the day before the buyout announcement, based on the company’s historic stock price and other factors, the firms do not believe that the acquisition price is fair to Epicor Software shareholders. In addition, the firms seek to determine through their investigation whether Epicor Software’s Board of Directors adequately considered all viable alternatives and properly shopped the company before entering into the acquisition agreement with Apax Partners.
