Lawsuit Overview
Feb. 04, 2013 (Shareholders Foundation) -- An investor in shares of MAP Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:MAPP) filed a lawsuit in effort to stop the proposed takeover of MAP Pharmaceuticals Inc by Allergan, Inc for $25.00 per NASDAQ:MAPP share.
The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed NASDAQ:MAPP stockholders by agreeing to sell the company too cheaply via an unfair process.
On Jan. 22, 2013, Allergan, Inc. (NYSE:AGN) and MAP Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:MAPP) announced that they have entered into a merger agreement whereby Allergan will acquire 100% of the shares of MAP Pharmaceuticals for a price of $25.00 per share.
However, the plaintiff says that the $25-offer is too low and undervalues the company. The plaintiff further claims that also the proposed transaction is unfair to NASDAQ:MAPP stockholders.
