According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties arising out of the attempt to merge Animal Health International, Inc. at an unfair price via an unfair process.

On Monday, March 14, 2011 Animal Health International, Inc.

Animal Health International said the offer represents an approximately 11% premium to the closing price of AHII's shares on March 11, 2011, and a premium of approximately 17% over AHII's average closing price during the 30 trading days ended March 11, 2011, and a premium of approximately 41% over AHII's average closing price during the 90 trading days ended March 11, 2011.

Indeed, in response to the takeover news shares of Animal Health International, Inc. jumped from $3.89 per share to $4.22 on Monday.
