Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Cbeyond, Inc. (“Cbeyond” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:CBEY) concerning the proposed acquisition of the Company by Birch Communications, Inc. (“Birch”). Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, Cbeyond stockholders will receive between $9.97 and $10.00 in cash for each share of Cbeyond common stock they own. The exact amount will be determined after certain stock transactions occur. The value of the transaction is approximately $323 million.

The investigation concerns whether the Cbeyond Board of Directors violated its fiduciary duties by agreeing to the proposed transaction and whether the proposed consideration adequately values Cbeyond’s common stock.
