Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Launches An Investigation Against Actuant Corporation (ATU) For Potential Breaches Of Fiduciary Duties By Its Board Of Directors

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities firm headquartered in New York City, is investigating the Board of Directors of Actuant Corporation ("Actuant" or the "Company") (NYS: ATU) for potential breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with their conduct in seeking shareholders' approval for an amendment to the Company's Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Specifically, in the Proxy Statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 3, 2012, the Board of Directors recommends that Actuant's shareholders vote to approve an amendment to the Company's 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan to, among other things, increase the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable under the plan by an additional 4,000,000 shares. The issuance of the additional shares could have a substantial dilutive effect on the shares of Actuant common stock.
