DALLAS, Jan. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney [ Willie Briscoe ] and the securities litigation firm of [ Powers Taylor, LLP ] are investigating the sale of Inhibitex, Inc.

The definitive acquisition agreement involves an all cash transaction valued at approximately $2.5 billion. 

The investigation centers on whether Inhibitex shareholders are receiving adequate compensation for their shares in the buyout, whether the transaction undervalues Inhibitex's stock, and whether Inhibitex's board attempted to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders prior to agreeing to the deal.  According to shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe, "Although the acquisition price represents a premium over the closing price of Inhibitex shares the day prior to the buyout announcement, Inhibitex shares closed above $15.50 per share as recently as early December 2011.  Based on these and other factors, we are investigating whether the transaction undervalues Inhibitex stock.  Our lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders."
