NEW YORK--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Levi & Korsinsky is investigating the Board of Directors of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (aM&Ia or the aCompanya) (NYSE:MI) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with the sale of the Company to BMO Financial Group (aBMOa) (NYSE: BMO). Under the terms of the transaction, M&I shareholders will receive 0.1257 shares of BMO stock for each share of M&I they own.

The investigation concerns whether the M&I Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to M&I stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction and whether BMO is underpaying for M&I shares, thus unlawfully harming M&I stockholders. In particular, shares of M&I stock traded as high as $10.66 per share as recently as April 21, 2010 and at least one analyst set a price target for M&I stock at $9.50 per share.
