Robbins Umeda LLP has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by members of the Board of Directors of ExpressJet Holdings, Inc. ("ExpressJet" or the "Company") (NYSE: XJT) in connection with SkyWest, Inc.'s ("SkyWest") (NASDAQ: SKYW), intent to acquire all outstanding common shares of ExpressJet. Under the terms of the announced tender offer, ExpressJet shareholders will receive $6.75 per share in cash for each share of ExpressJet they own, if the tender offer is completed. The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Robbins Umeda LLP's investigation concerns whether the Board of Directors of ExpressJet undertook a fair process to obtain fair consideration for all shareholders of ExpressJet. Specifically, our investigation concerns whether the Company’s Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to ExpressJet shareholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into the transaction with SkyWest. As recently as June 9, 2010, at least one analyst had set price targets for the Company at $8.00 per share. Moreover, on April 25, 2008, ExpressJet stock traded as high as $32.50.
