NEW YORK--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Harwood Feffer LLP ([ www.hfesq.com ]) is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of Illumina, Inc. (aIlluminaa or the aCompanya) (NASDAQ: ILMN) concerning the proposed acquisition of the Company by Roche Holding AG (aRochea) in a transaction valued at approximately $5.7 billion.
On January 25, 2012, Roche announced that it offered to acquire all of Illuminaas outstanding shares for $44.50 per share. Roche will put the offer directly to shareholders after it said in a statement that Illumina management was aunwilling to participate in substantive discussions.a
The offer price represents a scant 18% premium over the closing price on January 24, 2012 and Illumina stock is presently trading above $52.00 per share.
Our investigation concerns whether the board of directors is fulfilling its fiduciary duties, maximizing the value of Illumina, disclosing all material benefits and costs and obtaining full and fair consideration for Illumina shareholders.
If you own Illumina shares and wish to discuss this matter with us, or have any questions concerning your rights and interests with regard to this matter, please contact:
