The firm said it may seek increased consideration, additional disclosures and information, or other relief and benefits on behalf of shareholders, and that it would handle any matter on a contingent fee basis, with shareholders not responsible for out-of-pocket payment of legal fees or expenses. Daniel Sadeh and Zachary Halper are named as attorneys for the firm.
