Bucyrus International Shareholder Investigation by Briscoe Law Firm Concerning the Acquisition by Caterpillar, Inc.

The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, founded by a former state prosecutor and enforcement attorney for the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and the law firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating potential legal claims against the Board of Directors of Bucyrus International, Inc. (“Bucyrus” or “BUCY”) (NASDAQ: BUCY) related to the proposed acquisition of Bucyrus by Caterpillar, Inc.

The definitive acquisition agreement, which was announced on November 15, 2010, involves a transaction valued at approximately $8.6 billion. Under the proposed acquisition, Bucyrus shareholders will receive a cash payment of $92 for each share of Bucyrus/BUCY common stock they hold.

The investigation involves whether the Board of Directors of Bucyrus breached their fiduciary duties to Bucyrus stockholders by failing to adequately shop the proposed merger before agreeing to enter into the transaction and whether Bucyrus has disclosed all material information to shareholders about the proposed transaction. Indeed, at least one analyst has set a target price at $95.00 per share. Based on this, and other factors, the proposed transaction may undervalue Bucyrus/BUCY shares and not be fair to Bucyrus shareholders.
