STEVENSON, Md.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--The law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty to current shareholders of Micromet, Inc. (aMicrometa) (NASDAQ: MITI) and other violations of state law by the board of directors of Micromet relating to the proposed acquisition of the company by Amgen. The firmas investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the board breached their fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value.

According to the press release, the transaction values Micromet at approximately $1.16 billion. However, according to Bloomberg, at least one analyst has set a price target of $12.00 per share for Micromet stock.
