NOB LEAR COM : Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Announces Investigation On Behalf of Shareholders of Nobel Learning Communities, Inc. in Connection with the Proposed Acquisition of the Company by Leeds Equity Partners.

Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that it is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of Nobel Learning Communities, Inc. ("Nobel" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:NLCI) related to the Company's agreement to be acquired by Leeds Equity Partners ("Leeds") in a proposed transaction where Nobel shareholders will receive $11.75 in cash for each share they own of the Company's common stock. The transaction is valued at approximately $125.2 Million.

The investigation concerns whether the board of directors of Nobel breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before agreeing to enter into the proposed transaction, and whether the Company has disclosed all material information to shareholders about the transaction. Specifically, the Company has seen substantial growth over the past year, and Nobel's share price skyrocketed from $5.76 in September 2010 to $10.12 the week before the merger was announced. Further, at least one analyst has set a target price of $22.00 per share virtually nullifying any premium that Nobel shareholders would receive under the transaction.

If you are a shareholder of Nobel, 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 Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G.
