Business Wire
Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP has
launched an investigation into whether the board members of
Celladon Corporation (NASDAQ: CLDN) breached their fiduciary duties
in connection with the proposed merger of the Company with Eiger
BioPharmaceuticals, Inc.
Additional Information:
Celladon is a clinical-stage biotechnology company, focuses on
developing cardiovascular gene therapy and calcium
dysregulation.
On November 19, 2015, Celladon announced that it had signed a
definitive merger agreement with Eiger. The stockholders of Eiger
would become the majority owners of Celladon and the operations of
Celladon and Eiger would be combined. The merger needs the approval
of Celladon stockholders; if approved Celladon will be renamed
Eiger BioPharmaceuticals. An investor syndicate has committed to
invest $39.5 million in the combined company.
Under the terms of the agreement Celladon shareholders will
receive newly issued shares. On a pro forma basis for the combined
company, current Celladon shareholders are expected to own
approximately 22%, current Eiger shareholders approximately 45% and
the new Eiger investor syndicate approximately 33%, each on a
fully-diluted basis.
The investigation concerns whether Celladon’s board is acting in
the shareholders’ best interests, including whether the board
adequately pursued alternatives to the merger and whether the board
obtained the best deal possible for the Company’s shareholders.
Nationally recognized Johnson & Weaver is investigating
whether the proposed deal price represents adequate consideration,
especially given the Company’s current level of cash. As of
September 30, 2015, Celladon had over 37 million in cash.

proposed deal is not fair or you’re interested in learning more
