BALA CYNWYD, Pa., June 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of J. Alexander's Corporation ("JAX" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: JAX) relating to the proposed acquisition by Fidelity National Financial, Inc. ("Fidelity National").
Under the terms of the transaction, JAX shareholders would receive either $12.00 in cash or a combination of $3.00 in cash and one share of Class A common stock of American Blue Ribbon Holdings, Inc., a newly formed, majority owned subsidiary of Fidelity National for each share of JAX stock they own. The investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of JAX for not acting in the Company's shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process to Fidelity National.
JAX has reported strong operating results for the first quarter of the fiscal year of 2012. For example, the Company reported a 116% increase in diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Based on these impressive financial results, the investigation focus is on the Board's decision to sell at this price.
