STEVENSON, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Fogo de Chão, Inc. (Nasdaq: FOGO) (“Fogo de Chão” or the “Company”) relating to the proposed buyout of Fogo de Chão by investment entities affiliated with Rhône Capital (together with its affiliates, “Rhône”) in a transaction valued at approximately $560 million.

Under the terms of the agreement, Fogo de Chão shareholders are anticipated to receive $15.75 in cash for each share of Fogo de Chão common stock held.
