WILMINGTON, Del. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Rigrodsky
& Long, P.A. announces that it is investigating potential claims
against the board of directors of Burger King Holdings, Inc. ("Burger
King" or the "Company" ) (NYSE:BKC)
concerning possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of
law related to the Company's entry into an agreement to be acquired and
taken private by 3G Capital in a transaction valued at approximately $4
billion. (http://www.rigrodskylong.com/news/BurgerKingHoldingsInc.-BKC).
Under the proposed agreement, 3G Capital will shortly commence an
all-cash tender to acquire to acquire 100 percent of the outstanding
common stock of Burger King for $24.00 per Burger King share. In
addition, affiliates of TPG Capital LP, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners
and Bain Capital Investors, which own approximately 31 percent of the
Company's outstanding shares in the aggregate, have entered into
agreements pursuant to which they will tender their shares into the

failed to adequately shop the Company and obtain the best price possible
for Burger Kings's shareholders before entering into the agreement with
3G Capital. Moreover, Burger King Chairman and CEO, John Chidsey, will
remain through the transition period in his current capacity and
subsequently assume a newly created position of Co-Chairman of the Board.
