Law Office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC Announces Investigation of Zipcar, Inc.

BALA CYNWYD, Pa., Jan. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Zipcar, Inc. ("Zipcar" or the "Company") ZIP relating to the proposed acquisition by Avis Budget Group, Inc. ("Avis").

Under the terms of the transaction, Zipcar shareholders will receive only $12.25 in cash for each share of Zipcar stock they own. The investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Zipcar for not acting in the Company's shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process to Avis. The transaction may undervalue the Company and will result in a loss for many shareholders. For example Zipcar stock traded at $15.00 as recently as May 27, 2012 and $28.69 on May 10, 2011. In addition, an analyst has set a price target for Zipcar at $13.00 per share.
