Brower Piven Announces Investigation of Quixote Corp.

Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation is investigating potential claims on behalf of shareholders of Quixote Corp. (“Quixote” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: QUIX) for possible breaches of fiduciary duties by the Quixote Board of Directors and other violations of state law arising from the announcement that Quixote and Trinity Industries, Inc. (“Trinity”) (NYSE: TRN) have reached a definitive agreement for Trinity to acquire the outstanding common shares and equivalents of Quixote for cash of $6.38 per share, or approximately $61 million. Trinity will fund the acquisition from available cash on hand, which totaled $545 million at September 30, 2009.

The investigation concerns the potential unfairness of the consideration to be paid to Quixote’s shareholders, as well as the Quixote Board of Directors’ potential breaches of their fiduciary duties to Quixote shareholders, including the failure to adequately shop the Company before entering into the transaction and by including deal protections that may prevent other superior offers. The process through which the transaction was negotiated may have been tainted by Quixote directors’ right to receive personal compensation in connection with the transaction - compensation it has been alleged that they would not otherwise receive at this time absent the transaction.
