Investigation Overview
December 27, 2013 (Shareholders Foundation) - An investigation on behalf of investors, who currently hold shares of Dynamics Research Corporation (NASDAQ:DRCO) shares, was announced concerning whether the takeover of Dynamics Research Corporation by Engility Holdings, Inc. for $11.50 per share is unfair to NASDAQ:DRCO stockholders.
The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of Dynamics Research Corporation breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ:DRCO investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.
On December 23, 2013, Engility Holdings, Inc. and Dynamics Research Corporation announced that they have entered into an agreement under which Engility Holdings, Inc will acquire Dynamics Research Corporation.

More specifically, the investigation concerns whether the Dynamics Research Board of Directors undertook an adequate sales process, adequately shopped the company before entering into the transaction, maximized shareholder value by negotiating the best price, and acted in the shareholders' best interests in connection with the proposed sale.
