Milberg LLP Announces the Filing of a Shareholder Class Action to Stop 99 Cents Only Stores Buyout
The law firm of Milberg LLP announces that a case was filed in Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, challenging actions taken by the board of directors of 99 Cents Only Stores ("99 Cents Only") under state law. This case was not filed by Milberg LLP.
The action alleges that the board of directors of 99 Cents Only (NYSE: NDN) breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by agreeing to a $1.3 billion buyout of 99 Cents Only led by members of the Schiffer-Gold family, which own 33% of all outstanding shares, and Leonard Green & Partners LP. Under the current proposal, 99 Cents Only shareholders will receive $19.09 in cash for each share of 99 Cents Only common stock they currently hold.
Shareholders are questioning the value of the going private deal because 99 Cents Only's common stock traded as high as $18.88 per share in September 2010. Additionally, at least one analyst has set a target price of $23.50 per share for 99 Cents Only stock and on February 2, 2011, 99 Cents Only reported strong third quarter 2011 results of $365.36 million, beating analysts' expectations.
Founded in 1965, Milberg has offices in New York, Los Angeles, Tampa, and Detroit. The Firm has litigated landmark cases and recovered billions for shareholders and consumers. Our website has additional information: (www.milberg.com).

99 Cents Only Stores(R) Announces Receipt of a 'Going Private' Proposal at $19.09
Per Share
CITY OF COMMERCE, Calif., March 11, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- 99 Cents Only
Stores(R) (NDN) (the "Company") today announced that its board of directors has
received a proposal from members of the Schiffer/Gold family, together with
Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. ("LGP"), to acquire the Company in a "going
private" transaction for $19.09 per share in cash. The Schiffer/Gold family owns
approximately 33% of the Company's outstanding common stock, and the letter
states that they are prepared to contribute a substantial portion of their
existing Company stock ownership as part of the proposed transaction.
The proposal letter states that it is not a binding commitment or obligation on
the part of the Schiffer/Gold family or LGP. It also states that any transaction
would be subject to: (a) completion of due diligence, including financial, legal,
accounting and tax diligence; (b) receipt of financing commitments with respect
to the financing necessary to complete the proposed transaction; (c) negotiation
of a satisfactory acquisition agreement with customary terms and conditions; (d)
reaching agreement among members of the Schiffer/Gold family and LGP with respect
to the terms of a shareholders' agreement; and (e) reaching agreements with the
management of the Company with respect to their ongoing roles as managers of the
Company. It also states that the Schiffer/Gold family has not made any commitment
of exclusivity with LGP relating to a transaction.
The board of directors cautions the Company's shareholders and others considering
trading in its securities that it has only received the proposal and it has not
yet been evaluated. There can be no assurance that any definitive offer will be
made, that any agreement will be executed or that this or any other transaction
will be approved or consummated. The board of directors expects to form a special
committee of independent directors to consider the proposal. The committee would
retain independent financial advisors and legal counsel to assist it in its work.
