UPDATED: Harwood Feffer LLP Announces Investigation of National Interstate Corporation

NEW YORK, Feb. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Harwood Feffer LLP (www.hfesq.com) is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of National Interstate Corporation ("National Interstate" or the "Company") concerning the proposed acquisition of the Company by the Great American Insurance Company ("Great American").    

Under the terms of the proposed transaction, National Interstate shareholders would receive $30 per share in cash.  On February 19, 2014, the board of directors of the Company determined to express no opinion in support of the transaction.        

On February 20, 2014, it was reported in the media that National Interstate's independent directors do not support the transaction and have not had sufficient opportunity to review its terms.

Our investigation concerns whether the National Interstate board of directors is fulfilling its fiduciary duties, maximizing the value of the Company, disclosing all material benefits and costs, and obtaining full and fair consideration for Company shareholders. 

If you own National Interstate shares and wish to discuss this matter with us, or have any questions concerning your rights and interests with regard to this matter, please contact:
