The Law Office of Joseph Klein is investigating the Board of
Directors of K-Sea Transportation Partners L.P. (NYSE: KSP) for
possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state
law in connection with the sale of the Company to Kirby Corporation
(“Kirby”) (NYSE: KEX). Under the terms of the transaction, K-Sea
shareholders can elect to receive either $8.15 in cash or $4.075 in
cash plus 0.0734 of a share of Kirby common stock per share of
K-Sea. The total value of the transaction is approximately $600
million, consisting of $335 million for K-Sea's equity and the
refinancing of $265 million of K-Sea debt. K-Sea’s general partner
will receive $8.15 in cash for each general partner unit and $18
million in cash for K-Sea’s incentive distribution rights.
The investigation concerns whether the K-Sea Board of Directors
breached their fiduciary duties to K-Sea stockholders by failing to
adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction
and whether Kirby is underpaying for K-Sea shares, thus unlawfully
harming K-Sea stockholders. K-Sea reported a book value of $11.77
per share, for the most recent quarter.
