SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brodsky & Smith, LLC Announces Investigation of Crown Media Holdings, Inc.

BALA CYNWYD, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against Crown Media Holdings, Inc. ("Crown Media" or "the Company") (Nasdaq: CRWN) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with the announcement that Hallmark Cards, Inc. ("Hallmark") intends to take Crown Media private.

Click here to learn more about the investigation http://brodsky-smith.com/1051-crwn-crown-media-holdings-inc.html, or call: 877-534-2590. There is no cost or obligation to you.

Under the terms of the transaction, Crown Media shareholders will receive only $5.05 in cash for each share of Crown Media stock they own. The investigation concerns whether the sale to Hallmark, which is the largest shareholder of Crown Media, violates State law and whether Hallmark is underpaying for the Company. The transaction may undervalue the Company and would result in a loss by many Crown Media shareholders. For example, as Crown Media stock traded $6.08 per share as recently as November 6, 2015. In addition, Hallmark, pursuant to a short-form merger, intends to bypass both Crown Media shareholder and board approval.

If you own shares of Crown Media 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.
