The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, founded by a former state prosecutor and enforcement attorney for the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and the securities litigation law firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating potential legal claims against the Board of Directors of International Coal Group, Inc. ("International Coal Group" or "ICO") (NYSE: ICO) related to the buyout of International Coal Group by Arch Coal ("Arch Coal").

The definitive merger agreement involves an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $3.4 billion. Under the proposed buyout, International Coal Group shareholders will receive $14.60 in cash for each share of International Coal Group/ICO common stock they hold.
