December 13, 2013 (Shareholders Foundation) - An investigation on behalf of investors, who currently hold shares of UNS Energy Corp (NYSE:UNS) shares, was announced concerning whether the takeover of UNS Energy Corp by Fortis, Inc. for $60.25 per share is unfair to NYSE:UNS stockholders.

The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of UNS Energy Corp breached their fiduciary duties owed to NYSE:UNS investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.
