NEW YORK--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Tripp Levy PLLC, a leading national securities law firm, announces an investigation into the proposed acquisition of Icagen, Inc. (NASDAQ: ICGN) by Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE). Pfizer, which currently owns approximately 11% of Icagena™s shares, will acquire the remaining shares it does not already own at a price of $6.00 per share. The aggregate transaction value, including the value of the shares currently owned by Pfizer, is approximately $56 million.The investigation concerns, among other things, whether the consideration to be paid to Icagen shareholders is unfair, inadequate, and substantially below the fair or inherent value of Icagen. Indeed, the buyout price of $6 represents a adiscounta to where the stock traded just prior to the announced ($7.75), and analysts estimate the stock is worth at least $8 per share. The investigation further concerns whether the board of directors of Icagen may have breached their fiduciary duties by not acting in Icagen shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process of Icagen.
