Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. announces that it is investigating potential legal claims against the board of directors of OfficeMax Incorporated ("OfficeMax" or the "Company") (NYSE: OMX) regarding possible breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of law related to the Company's entry into an agreement to be acquired by Office Depot, Inc.

Under the terms of the proposal, public shareholders of OfficeMax will receive 2.69 Office Depot common shares for each share of OfficeMax they own. Based on Office Depot's closing stock price of $5.02 on February 19, 2013, OfficeMax shareholders would have received consideration valued at approximately $13.50 per share.

The investigation concerns whether OfficeMax's board of directors failed to adequately shop the Company and obtain the best possible value for OfficeMax's shareholders before entering into an agreement with Office Depot. According to Yahoo! Finance, at least one analyst has set a price target for OfficeMax stock at $17.00.

If you own the common stock of OfficeMax and purchased your shares before February 20, 2013, if you have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or if you wish to discuss these matters or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Peter Allocco at Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., 825 East Gate Boulevard, Suite 300, Garden City, New York 11530 toll free at (888) 969-4242, by e-mail to info@rigrodskylong.com, or at: http://www.rigrodskylong.com/investigations/officemax-incorporated-omx.
