Finkelstein Thompson LLP is investigating potential claims on behalf of shareholders of Protection One, Inc. ("Protection One" or the "Company")(PONE) arising from the Company's announcement of its intent to be acquired by affiliates of private equity firm GTCR ("GTCR"). Under the terms of the agreement, GTCR will make a cash tender offer to acquire all of Protection One's outstanding shares of common stock for $15.50 per share for a total deal value of approximately $828 million.

The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the price to Protection One's shareholders and the process by which the Company's Board of Directors considered and approved the transaction, particularly since the Company's largest shareholders -- Quadrangle Group LLC and Monarch Capital Partners, who together own 70% of the Company's outstanding shares -- have each executed agreements to tender (and not withdraw) their shares in the tender offer.
