Kendall Law Group Investigating Diedrich Coffee Inc. on Behalf of Shareholders

Kendall Law Group, founded by a former federal judge, began an investigation on behalf of Diedrich Coffee Inc. (NASDAQ: DDRX) shareholders. The investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duty by the Board of Directors in connection with the proposed acquisition by Peet’s Coffee & Tea, Inc. This is a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $213 million.

According to the agreement, Diedrich shareholders will receive $17.33 in cash and 0.315 share of Peet’s stock, which is $8.67 based on the closing price of Peet’s on the last trading day before the announcement. This provides shareholders approximately $26.00 for their Diedrich stock, while it traded at $31.34 as recently as October 26, 2009.

Former federal judge Joe Kendall said, “the investigation concerns whether the consideration to be paid to shareholders is grossly unfair, inadequate, and substantially below the fair or inherent value of Diedrich and whether the directors and special committee members may have breached their fiduciary duties by not acting in the shareholders’ best interests in connection with the sale process.”
