The law firm of Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP announces that it is investigating the actions of the Board of Directors and senior management of Harris Interactive, Inc. (“Harris Interactive” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HPOL) for potential breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with the sale of the Company to Nielson Holdings N.V. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Nielsen will commence a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Harris Interactive’s common stock. Holders of outstanding shares of Harris Interactive’s common stock will receive $2.00 per share in cash, subject to adjustment as provided in the merger agreement. The $2.00 per share cash purchase price (which excludes any adjustment which may be required under the merger agreement) represents a 2.0% premium to the volume weighted average closing price of Harris Interactive’s common stock in the 60 consecutive trading days prior to announcement of the transaction, but it is 8.7% below the 52-week high stock closing price of $2.19 on August 22, 2013.

The investigation concerns whether the Harris Interactive Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to consider all available strategic alternatives. Indeed, certain of the directors of Harris Interactive have entered into tender and support agreements, representing approximately 12% of the outstanding shares of Harris Interactive’s common stock, pursuant to which they have agreed to tender all of their shares pursuant to the tender offer.

Wolf Haldenstein has represented individual and institutional investors for many years, serving as lead counsel in numerous cases in United States federal and state courts.
