New York, NY July 09, 2009 — Levi & Korsinsky (“L&K”) is investigating the Board of Directors of MSC.Software Corporation (“MSC.Software” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: MSCS) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with their attempt to sell the Company to Symphony Technology Group and Elliott Management Corp.
