BALA CYNWYD, Pa.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of optionsXpress Holdings, Inc. (aoptionsXpressa or the aCompanya) (Nasdaq - OXPS) relating to the proposed acquisition by Charles Schwab Corporation. (aCharles Schwaba).

Under the terms of the transaction, optionsXpress shareholders would receive 1.02 shares of Charles Schwab stock for each share of common stock they own.
