SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Commences An Investigation Into The Proposed Sale Of MWI Veterinary Supply, Inc. And Encourages Investors To Contact The Firm For Additional Information


The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of MWI Veterinary Supply, Inc. ("MWI" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: MWIV) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by AmerisourceBergen Corporation ("ABC").

On January 12, 2015, MWI and ABC jointly announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which ABC will acquire MWI in a transaction valued at approximately $2.5 billion. Under the terms of the transaction, shareholders of MWI are anticipated to receive $190.00 for each share of MWI common stock held. The transaction is expected to close in the March quarter of 2015, though MWI sharholders will most likely be asked to vote on the transaction well before that time.



The firm's investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company's Board of Directors failed to satisfy their duties to shareholders, including whether the Board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the Board obtained the best price possible for the Company's shares of common stock.
