Under the terms of the agreement, Ascena has agreed to make a cash tender offer for all outstanding shares of Charming Shoppes common stock at a price of $7.35 per share. However, according to Yahoo! Finance, at least one analyst has set a price target for Charming Shoppes stock at $9.00.

The investigation concerns whether Charming Shoppes’ board of directors failed to adequately shop the Company and obtain the best price possible for Charming Shoppes’ shareholders before entering into an agreement with Ascena.
