Tripp Levy PLLC, a leading national securities law firm, announces that a lawsuit has been filed on behalf of shareholders of Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation (“Smurfit-Stone” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SSCC) in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to RockTenn Co. (NYSE: RKT). Under the terms of the transaction, Smurfit-Stone shareholders will receive 0.30605 shares of RockTenn common stock and $17.50 in cash, for an aggregate value of $35 per Smurfit-Stone common stock.

The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the consideration to be paid to Smurfit-Stone shareholders is grossly unfair, inadequate, and substantially below the fair or inherent value of Smurfit-Stone. Indeed, shareholders representing approx. 9% of the Company’s shares have announced their displeasure with the deal and intent to vote against the proposed merger. The investigation further concerns whether the directors of Smurfit-Stone may not be acting in the Company’s shareholders' best interests in connection with the proposed transaction.
