The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Cyan, Inc. (“Cyan” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CYNI) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by Ciena Corporation.

Under the terms of the transaction, Cyan shareholders are anticipated to receive consideration equal to the value of 0.224 shares of Ciena common stock for each share of Cyan common stock owned. The firm’s investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company’s Board of Directors failed to satisfy their duties to shareholders, including whether the Board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the Board obtained the best price possible for the Company’s shares of common stock.
