SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Announces the Commencement of an Investigation Into Possible Breaches of Fiduciary Duty by the Board of Directors of Build-A-Bear Workshop Inc. -- BBW

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Levi & Korsinsky announces it has commenced an investigation of Build-A-Bear Workshop Inc. BBW concerning possible breaches of fiduciary duty by the Board of Directors.

On April 12, 2016, J. Carlo Cannell of Cannell Capital LLC, published a letter to the Company, calling actions by the Board of Directors "financially unsophisticated, lacking in proper corporate governance and shareholder unfriendly." Cannell complained that, among other concerns, Build-A-Bear allows its Chief Executive Officer to approve or reject candidates for membership on the Board, thus potentially interfering with its independence and ability to oversee the Company's management and executive compensation. Then on May 3, 2016, Build-A-Bear issued a press release in which it announced, among other things, that the Board of Directors had authorized an "exploration of a full range of strategic alternatives."
