DALLAS--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--[ The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC ], founded by a former state prosecutor and enforcement attorney for the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and the securities litigation law firm of [ Powers Taylor, LLP ] are investigating potential legal claims against the Board of Directors of Cephalon, Inc. (aCephalona or aCEPHa) (NASDAQ: CEPH) related to the buyout of Cephalon by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
The definitive merger agreement, which was announced on May 2, 2011, involves an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $6.8 billion. Under the proposed buyout, Cephalon shareholders will receive only $81.50 in cash for each share of Cephalon/CEPH common stock they hold, while one analyst has placed a $92 price-per-share target for Cephalon stock.
The firms are investigating the fairness of the proposed transaction to Cephalon shareholders and whether Cephalona™s Board of Directors acted in the shareholdersa™ best interests. Particularly, the firms are investigating whether the Board failed to adequately shop the Company around to obtain the best price for the shareholders. In addition, the firms are also investigating whether Cephalona™s Board of Directors adequately considered all viable alternatives before entering into the agreement. Based on these and other factors, the firms are concerned whether the acquisition price is fair to Cephalon shareholders.
