Following the takeover news shares of Dreams, Inc. (NYSEAMEX:DRJ) jumped from $2.63 on Friday, April 13, 2012 to $3.40 per share on Monday.

Furthermore, Dreams President and CEO Ross Tannenbaum, Chairman Sam Battistone and other shareholders who collectively own approximately 35% of the outstanding shares of Dreams have each already entered into voting and support agreements by which they have committed to vote in favor of the proposed merger transaction.

Therefore the investigation for NYSEAMEX:DRJ investors concerns whether the proposed transaction is unfair to Dreams, Inc. (NYSEAMEX:DRJ) stockholders.

Specifically, the investigation focuses on whether the Dreams 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.
