NEW YORK, Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Harwood
Feffer LLP (www.hfesq.com) is investigating potential claims
against the board of directors of Piedmont Natural Gas Company,
Inc. ("Piedmont" or the "Company") (NYSE: PNY) concerning the
proposed acquisition of the Company by Duke Energy Corporation
("Duke").
Under the terms of the offer, Duke
would acquire Piedmont in a transaction valued at approximately
$4.9 billion. Pursuant to the
deal, Piedmont stockholders would receive $60.00 in cash per share.

obtaining full and fair consideration for Company
stockholders.
