Summary

July 18, 2014 (Shareholders Foundation) - An investigation on behalf of investors, who currently hold shares of ZipRealty, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZIPR), was announced concerning whether the takeover of ZipRealty, Inc. by Realogy Holdings Corp for $6.75 per share is unfair to NASDAQ:ZIPR stockholders.

The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of ZipRealty, Inc. breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ:ZIPR investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.
