NEW YORK, May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is
investigating claims on behalf of investors of Electro Rent
Corporation ("Electro Rent" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ELRC) (ISIN:
US2852181039) (CUSIP: 285218103) concerning the proposed
acquisition of Electro Rent by Platinum Equity.
Electro shareholders seeking more information about this

The investigation concerns whether the Electro Rent directors
are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately
maximize shareholder value. Under the terms of the proposed
transaction, Electro Rent shareholders will be entitled to receive
$13.12 in cash for each share of
Electro Rent common stock held.
However, the merger price is below an analyst's recent target
price of $15.00 per share.

York, Chicago, Florida, and Los
