WASHINGTON--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--The law firm of Finkelstein Thompson LLP is investigating potential claims on behalf of shareholders of Pharmaceutical Product Development, Inc. (aPPDIa or the aCompanya) (NASDAQ: PPDI), concerning the proposed acquisition of the Company by the Carlyle Group and Hellman & Friedman. Under the terms of the transaction, shareholders would receive $33.25 per share in cash, in a deal worth approximately $3.8 billion.

PPDI has performed well recently, posting earnings numbers up 10% from last year for the quarter ending June 30. Indeed, at least one analyst has set a target price of $38.00 for the Companya™s stock.

The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the consideration to PPDIa™s shareholders, the process by which the Companya™s Board of Directors considered the transaction, and potential conflicts of interests among PPDIa™s Board members.
