STEVENSON, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The securities litigation firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty to current shareholders of Dole Food Company, Inc. ("Dole" or the "Company") (NYS: DOLE) and other violations of state law by the board of directors of Dole in connection with the unsolicited offer by David H. Murdock, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Dole for $12.00 per share in cash. The investigation is focused on whether Mr. Murdock's proposal undervalues the Company's shares.
