Levi & Korsinsky, LLP has commenced an investigation into the fairness of the sale of Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason” or the “Company”) (NYSE: LM) to Franklin Resources, Inc. (“Franklin”) (NYSE: BEN). Under the terms of the merger, Legg Mason shareholders will receive $50.00 per share of common stock in an all-cash transaction.
