BALA CYNWYD, Pa., May 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of GrafTech International Ltd. ("GrafTech" or "the Company") (NYSE -GTI-News) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with the sale of the Company to Brookfield Asset Management, Inc. ("Brookfield").

Click here to learn more about the investigation http://brodsky-smith.com/939-gti-graftech-international-ltd.html, or call: 877-534-2590. There is no cost or obligation to you.

Under the terms of the transaction, GrafTech shareholders will receive only $5.05 in cash for each share of GrafTech stock they own. The investigation concerns whether the Board of  GrafTech breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders and whether Brookfield is underpaying for GrafTech. The transaction may undervalue GrafTech and would result in a substantial loss for many GrafTech shareholders. For example, an analyst has placed a $6.00 per share price target on GrafTech stock and on January 16, 2014 GrafTech stock traded at $12.97 per share.
