Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating the sale of Cost Plus, Inc. ("Cost Plus" or "CPWM") (NASDAQ: CPWM) to Bed Bath & Beyond for shareholders. Under the purchase agreement, Cost Plus shareholders will receive only $22.00 in cash for each share of Cost Plus stock owned.

If you are an affected investor, and you want to learn more about the lawsuit or join the action, contact Patrick Powers at Powers Taylor, LLP, toll free (877) 728-9607, via e-mail at patrick@powerstaylor.com, or Willie Briscoe at The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, (214) 706-9314, or via email at WBriscoe@TheBriscoeLawFirm.com. There is no cost or fee to you.

The investigation centers on whether Cost Plus shareholders are receiving adequate compensation for their shares in the buyout, whether the transaction undervalues Cost Plus stock, and whether Cost Plus' board attempted to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders prior to agreeing to the deal. Although, the proposed acquisition price offers only a premium of approximately 22% of the previous day's closing price, Cost Plus has shown steady growth over the past six months. Based on this, and other factors, the firms are investigating whether the acquisition price is fair and adequate for Cost Plus shareholders.
