Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of ANN, Inc. (“ANN” or the “Company”) (NYSE:ANN) concerning the proposed acquisition of the Company by Ascena Retail Group, Inc. (“Ascena”). Pursuant to the definitive merger agreement, ANN stockholders will receive $37.34 in cash and 0.68 of a share of Ascena common stock for each share of ANN common stock they own, a net value of $47.00 per share.

The investigation concerns whether the ANN Board of Directors violated its fiduciary duties by agreeing to the proposed transaction and whether the proposed consideration adequately values the Company’s common stock.
