NEW YORK, July 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- WeissLaw LLP is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of Rocket Fuel Inc. ("FUEL" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: FUEL) in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company by Sizmek Inc. ("Sizmek).  Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company's shareholders will receive $2.60 in cash for each FUEL share they own.
