Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. announces that it is investigating
potential legal claims against the board of directors of Athlon
Energy Inc. ("Athlon" or the "Company") (NYSE: ATHL) regarding
possible breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of law
related to the Company's entry into an agreement to be acquired by
Encana Corporation ("Encana") (NYSE: ECA), in a transaction valued

Under the terms of the agreement, public shareholders of Athlon
would receive $58.50 in cash for each
share of Athlon they own.
The investigation concerns whether Athlon's board of directors
failed to adequately shop the Company and obtain the best possible
value for Athlon's shareholders before entering into an agreement
with Encana. According to Yahoo! Finance, at least one
analyst has issued a price target for Athlon at $66.00 per share.
If you own the common stock of Athlon and purchased your shares
before September 29, 2014, if you
have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or
if you wish to discuss these matters or have any questions
