Barnes & Noble, Inc. Information Request Form

Levi & Korsinsky, LLP has commenced an investigation into the fairness of the sale of Barnes & Noble, Inc. (“Barnes & Noble” or the “Company”)(NYSE: BKS) to Elliott Advisors (UK) Limited. Under the terms of the deal, stockholders of Barnes & Noble will receive $6.50 in cash for each share of Barnes & Noble stock that they hold.

The Barnes & Noble merger investigation concerns whether the Board of Barnes & Noble breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before agreeing to enter into this transaction, and whether Elliott Advisors (UK) Limited is underpaying for Barnes & Noble shares, thus unlawfully harming Barnes & Noble shareholders.
