The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, founded by a former state prosecutor and enforcement attorney for the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and the law firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating potential legal claims against the Board of Directors of Ladish Co., Inc. (?Ladish Co.? or ?LDSH?) (NASDAQ: LDSH) related to the proposed acquisition of Ladish Co. by Allegheny Technologies Incorporated.

The definitive merger agreement, which was announced on November 17, 2010, involves a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $778 million, under which Ladish Co. shareholders will receive .4556 shares of Allegheny Technologies and $24.00 in cash for each share of Ladish Co./LDSH common stock held. Based on Ladish Co.'s historical share prices, and the fact that Ladish Co. recently announced an increase in third quarter net sales from $76.2 million to $100.3 million, compared to the same period last year, the proposed price appears to undervalue Ladish Co.

The investigation relates to possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Ladish Co. for approving this transaction and whether Ladish Co.'s Board of Directors acted in the shareholders' best interests and obtained the best compensation for the company's shareholders.

If you currently own shares of Ladish Co./LDSH and would like additional information regarding this investigation, or if you have information regarding the allegations involving this transaction, please 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 toll free (877) 397-5991, or via email at WBriscoe@TheBriscoeLawFirm.com.
