NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The law firm of Wohl & Fruchter LLP has commenced an investigation into whether the directors of MOD-PAC Corp. (NAS: MPAC) (MOD-PAC) breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by approving an agreement to sell the Company to its Chairman and CEO.

Dell's SEC report describes challenges for PC makers

Dell described a bleak outlook for the PC industry on Good Friday in a document filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The document, one of several filed by the company in connection with its move to go private, includes a laundry list of ills that pretty much defines life for computer makers in the post PC era.

That list identifies factors contributing not only to Dell’s present and future performance, but paints a picture of the uncertain world ahead for all PC makers.

Dell’s pitch

In its filing, Dell makes it sound like it would do present stockholders a favor by buying out their stock and taking the company off the stock market. By scooping up all Dell common shares in the market, it noted, stockholders will “no longer be exposed to the various risks and uncertainties related to continued ownership of Common Stock.”
