and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of Genesee

WeissLaw is investigating whether Genesee & Wyoming's Board acted to maximize shareholder
value prior to entering into the acquisition agreement.
Notably, the offer price represents a meager 10% premium over the
Company's June 21 trading price of
$101.18. Moreover, the
acquisition is a strategic transaction which will expand the
Affiliate's global footprint. According to Affiliate's Chief
Executive Officer, "[Genesee & Wyoming] will be a significant addition to our
global rail platform and will expand our presence in this sector to
four continents."
WeissLaw is investigating whether Genesee & Wyoming's Board conducted a fair process in
agreeing to the proposed acquisition, whether the proposed
acquisition undervalues the Company, and whether all material
information related to the proposed acquisition is fully and fairly
disclosed.
WeissLaw LLP has litigated hundreds of stockholder class and
derivative actions for violations of corporate and fiduciary
duties. We have recovered over a billion dollars for
