BALA CYNWYD, Pa., May 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Imperial Sugar Company ("Imperial Sugar" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: IPSU) relating to the proposed acquisition by a subsidiary of Louis Dreyfus Commodities LLC. ("Louis Dreyfus").

Under the terms of the transaction, Imperial Sugar Company shareholders would receive only $6.35 in cash for each share of Imperial Sugar stock they own.

In addition, an analyst has set a price target for Imperial Sugar stock at 20.00 per share.
