The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain Bazaarvoice officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties and caused damage to the company and its shareholders.

In early 2013, U.S. Justice Department said it filed a civil antitrust lawsuit challenging the June 2012 acquisition by Bazaarvoice Inc of its main rival PowerReviews Inc. According to the U.S. Justice Department, the transaction allegedly substantially lessened competition in the market for product ratings and reviews platforms in the United States, resulting in higher prices and diminished innovation.

Shares of Bazaarvoice Inc declined from over $20 in April 2012 to as low as $6.69 per share in April 2013.

On Sept. 30, 2013, NASDAQ:BV shares closed at $9.07 per share, which is significantly below its current 52 week high of $15.99 per share.

Those who purchased shares of Bazaarvoice Inc shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
