Buyout Of BioClinica - Law Firm Challenges Fairness Of Price On Behalf... -- NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

NEW YORK, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tripp Levy PLLC, a leading national securities law firm, announces that it is investigating the acquisition of BioClinica, Inc.  BioClinica, Inc. (NASDAQ: [ BIOC ]), announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by a holding company controlled by JLL Partners, Inc., a leading private equity firm.

Under terms of the BioClinica agreement, the holding company will commence a cash tender offer to purchase all of BioClinica's common stock at an offer price of $7.25 a share, which results in an equity value of approximately $123 million.

The investigation concerns, among other things, whether the consideration to be paid to BIOC shareholders is unfair, inadequate, and substantially below the fair or inherent value of Duff.   Indeed, analysts have projected that the true going forward inherent value of the company is worth at least $9 per share. The investigation further concerns whether the senior management of BIOC may have breached their fiduciary duties by not acting in shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process of BIOC since they will be joining the buyout group.
