NEW YORK--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--The Law Office of Joseph Klein is investigating the Board of Directors of CNA Surety Corporation (NYSE: SUR) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with their attempt to sell the Company to CNA Financial Corporation (NYSE: CNA). Under the terms of the transaction, CNA Surety shareholders will receive $22.00 in cash per share for a total transaction value of approximately $375 million.
