The claims concern whether the Ardea Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Ardea stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction and whether AstraZeneca is underpaying for Ardea shares, thus unlawfully harming Ardea stockholders. In particular, at least one analyst set a price target for Ardea stock at $40.00 per share.
