GIGPEAK, INC. SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Former SEC Attorney Willie Briscoe Believes the Acquisition by Integrated Device Technology, Inc. May be Unfair to Shareholders

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of GigPeak, Inc. ("GigPeak") (NYSE MKT: GIG) concerning the acquisition by Integrated Device Technology, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, valued at approximately $250 million, GigPeak shareholders will only receive $3.08 in cash per GigPeak share owned. The consideration is significantly lower than at least one analyst's estimated value of $4.00 per share.

If you are an affected investor, and you want to learn more about the investigation or if you have information that you believe would be helpful to our investigation of the fairness of the proposed transaction, contact Willie Briscoe at The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC via email at shareholders@thebriscoelawfirm.com or by calling (888) 809-2750. There is no cost or fee to you.

The investigation centers on whether GigPeaks's Board of Directors is acting in the shareholders' best interests, whether the board considered alternatives to the acquisition, and whether the board has employed an adequate process to review and act on the proposed transaction. Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance believes the true inherent value of GigPeak could be as high as $4.00 per share.
