K-Swiss Shareholder Alert: Briscoe Law Firm and Powers Taylor, LLP Investigate Sale to E.Land World10:31 EST Thursday, January 17, 2013
DALLAS (Business Wire) -- Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie
Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers
Taylor, LLP are investigating the sale of K-Swiss, Inc. (“K-Swiss”)
(Nasdaq: KSWS) to E.Land World Ltd., a South Korean apparel
distribution, for shareholders. Under the terms of the proposed deal
valued at approximately $170 million, K-Swiss shareholders will only
receive $4.75 in cash for each share of K-Swiss stock owned, which is
below at least one analyst's estimate of $5.60 per share. The merger is
expected to close in the second quarter of 2013.

There is no cost or fee to you.
The K-Swiss sale investigation centers on whether K-Swiss' shareholders
are receiving adequate compensation for their shares in the buyout,
whether the transaction undervalues K-Swiss' stock, and whether K-Swiss'
board attempted to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders
prior to agreeing to the deal. Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo!
Finance has estimated that the true inherent value of K-Swiss could be
as high as $5.60 per share, well above the proposed sale price.
Shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe stated that “due to the
proposed sale price, the size of the deal and other factors, we believe
this transaction may undervalue K-Swiss' stock. Our proposed lawsuit
will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders.”
