Buyout Of Heinz - Law Firm Seeks Higher Price For Shareholders

NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tripp Levy PLLC, a leading national securities and shareholder rights law firm, announces that it has been retained to represent shareholders of Heinz.  H.J. Heinz Company (NYSE: HNZ) ("Heinz") today announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by an investment consortium comprised of Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital. Under the terms of the agreement, Heinz shareholders will receive $72.50 in cash for each share of common stock they own.

The investigation concerns whether the board of directors of Heinz engaged in a full and fair auction for the company obtaining the highest price possible for shareholders while not obtaining personal benefits for themselves in selling to this investment consortium at this price.
