Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating the acquisition of C&D Technologies, Inc. (“C&D Technologies” or “CHHP”) (OTC: CHHP) by an affiliate of Angelo, Gordon & Co. Under the proposed buyout, C&D Technologies shareholders will receive only $9.75 in cash for each share of C&D Technologies/CHHP stock owned, which is below the price that CHHP stock traded as recently as January 2011.

There is no cost or fee to you.

The definitive acquisition agreement involves an all cash transaction valued at approximately $50 million. The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Under the terms of the acquisition, no additional shareholder approval is needed because Angelo, Gordon & Co. already holds approximately 65% of the outstanding shares of C&D Technologies’ common stock. “We are investigating the fairness of the proposed transaction to C&D Technologies shareholders, whether the shareholders are being underpaid for their stock, and whether C&D Technologies’ Board of Directors acted in the shareholders’ best interest,” said shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe. In particular, although the acquisition price represents an approximate 31% premium over C&D Technologies closing price the day before the acquisition announcement, as recently as January 2011, C&D Technologies shares closed at $9.80 per share. “Based on these and other factors, we believe that the transaction may significantly undervalue C&D Technologies stock, and our anticipated lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders,” said Willie Briscoe.
