INVESTOR ALERT: Brower Piven Commences An Investigation Into The Proposed Sale Of Microsemi Corporation And Encourages Shareholders To Contact The Firm For Additional Information

The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Microsemi Corporation MSCC ("Microsemi" or the "Company") relating to the proposed buyout of Microsemi by Microchip Technology Incorporated. The transaction is valued at approximately $10.15 billion and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2018.

Under the terms of the agreement, Microsemi shareholders are anticipated to receive $68.78 in cash for each share of Microsemi common stock held. The firm's investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company's Board of Directors failed to satisfy their duties to shareholders, including whether the Board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the Board obtained the best price possible for the Company's shares of common stock.

If you currently own common stock of Microsemi and believe that the proposed buyout price is too low, and you would like to learn more about the investigation being conducted, without cost or obligation to you, please contact Brower Piven either by email at hoffman@browerpiven.com or by telephone at (410) 415-6616.
