DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Vectren Corporation (“Vectren”) (NYSE: VVC) concerning the sale to CenterPoint Energy, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Vectren shareholders will only receive $72.00 for each share owned, which is virtually no premium over the 52-week high.
