Under the terms of the transaction, PROLOR shareholders may
elect to receive 0.9951 shares of OPKO for each share of PROLOR
they own, representing a value of approximately $7.025 per share. The transaction has a total
approximate value of $480 million.
The investigation concerns whether the PROLOR Board of Directors
breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to
adequately shop the Company before agreeing to enter into the
transaction, and whether OPKO is underpaying for PROLOR stock, thus
unlawfully harming PROLOR stockholders. In particular, at least one
analyst set a price target for PROLOR stock at $12.00 per share.
