NEW YORK, Jan. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of K-Swiss, Inc. ("K-Swiss" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: [ KSWS ]) (ISIN: US4826861027) (CUSIP: 482686102) concerning the proposed acquisition of K-Swiss by E.Land World Ltd. in a transaction valued at approximately $170 million in cash.

The investigation concerns whether the K-Swiss directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and maximize shareholder value.  Under the terms of the agreement, K-Swiss shareholders will be entitled to receive $4.75 per share in cash for each share of K-Swiss common stock.  However, the price multiple to total assets and book value are below those of comparable transactions, and is below wall street analyst target price of $5.60 per share.

K-Swiss shareholders seeking more information about this acquisition are advised to contact Robert Willoughby at [ rswilloughby@pomlaw.com ] or 212-661-1100 or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
