NEW YORK, July 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- WeissLaw LLP is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of Hawaiian Telcom Holdco, Inc. ("HCOM" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: HCOM) in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company by Cincinnati Bell, Inc. ("CBB") (NYSE: CBB).  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company's shareholders can elect to receive $30.75 in cash, or 1.6305 shares of CBB common stock, or a combination of 0.6522 of a CBB common stock and $18.45 in cash.
