BALA CYNWYD, Pa. , Nov. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. (“Brocade” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: BRCD ) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with the sale of the Company to Broadcom Ltd. (“Broadcom”).

Under the terms of the transaction, Brocade shareholders will receive only $12.75 in cash for each share of Brocade stock they own. The investigation concerns whether the Board of  Brocade breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders and whether Broadcom is underpaying for the Company. The transaction may undervalue the Company and would result in no real gain for many long-term Brocade shareholders. For example, Brocade stock traded at $12.80 per share on June 23, 2015 and an analyst had set a $14.00 per share price target for Brocade stock. In addition, the price being paid for Brocade appears low given that the purchase should allow Broadcom the means of owning both ends of the fibre channel connection.

If you own shares of Brocade stock and wish to discuss the legal ramifications of  the investigation, or have any questions, you may e-mail or call the law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC who will, without obligation or cost to you, attempt to answer your questions.
