The law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty to current shareholders of AmeriCredit Corp. (?AmeriCredit? or the ?Company?) (NYSE:ACF) and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of AmeriCredit relating to the proposed acquisition of the company by General Motors. The firm's investigation seeks to determine whether AmeriCredit and its Board breached their fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value.

On July 22, 2010, the companies announced that they had entered into an agreement for AmeriCredit to be acquired by GM in a transaction valued at approximately $3.5 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, AmeriCredit shareholders will receive $24.50 for each share of common stock held. Although GM's acquisition price represents an approximately 25% premium over AmeriCredit's closing share price on July 21, 2010, AmeriCredit has traded for as much as $26.49 this year. In addition, AmeriCredit business prospects are improving, reporting that ?loan originations could total as much as $900 million for the fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30 up from $175 million a year earlier? and that the company has ?increased its relationships with dealers to 8,100 in its fiscal third quarter from 3,000 in the depths of the financial crisis in 2008.?
