Block & Leviton LLP Investigates Mercury Systems, Inc. for Possible Breaches of Fiduciary Duty in Connection with Its Potential Acquisition

BOSTON, April 4, 2014

Mercury represents an extremely attractive opportunity, as either a merger target or for investors as a standalone corporation.  The Company had no debt on its 2013 year-end balance sheet, and holds approximately $1.34 cash on hand for each outstanding share of its stock, making it particularly well capitalized.  In less than two months, Mercury's share price has skyrocketed 36%, and shows no signs of stopping its explosive growth.  The Company provides data processing systems, software and services to companies including Boeing, Lockheed Martin Corp, Northrop Grumman Corp and Raytheon Co.  Mercury's President and CEO Mark Aslett, in delivering the Company's most recently reported quarterly results, stated that recent investments and developments by the Company's "should further strengthen Mercury's position to deliver significantly improved profitability, cash flow generation and shareholder value going forward."

Block & Leviton's investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether Mercury's directors breached their fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value in the potential acquisition and the fairness by which the directors considered and approved the transaction.
