The Law Firm of Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Launches an Investigation Into Possible Claims of Breaches of Fiduciary Duty Against the Board of Directors of Sealy Corporation
NEW YORK, March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Sealy Corporation ("Sealy" or the "Company") (NYSE: [ ZZ ]) in connection with the compensation of certain members of the Board and other officers and certain transactions involving Sealy and its largest shareholder, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. ("KKR"). As of November 27, 2011, KKR owns approximately 46% of Sealy's outstanding shares.

On March 11, 2012, H Partners Management, LLC ("H Partners"), a Sealy shareholder owning approximately 14.5% of Sealy's outstanding shares, sent a letter to the Board expressing concern that the Board has been advancing the interests of KKR instead of, and often at the expense of, the interests of all Sealy shareholders. For example, as stated in H Partners' letter, the Board has sanctioned $20.9 million of payments to KKR in "consulting" and "advisory" fees since Sealy's IPO in 2006, which represents a transfer of value from Sealy shareholders to KKR and its affiliates. Furthermore, H Partners alleged that Sealy's Compensation Committee made certain decisions concerning director and officer compensation in accordance with the interests of KKR.
