Lawsuit Overview
An investor, who currently holds shares of Osiris Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIR), filed a lawsuit against the takeover of Osiris Therapeutics, Inc.
The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ: OSIR stockholders by agreeing to sell Osiris Therapeutics, Inc. cheaply via an unfair process.
On March 12, 2019, Osiris Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIR) announced that it has entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Smith & Nephew plc pursuant to which Smith & Nephew will acquire Osiris for $19.00 per share in cash, a total of approximately $660.5 million in cash.
However, plaintiff claims that the proposed consideration NASDAQ: OSIR shareholders will receive is grossly inadequate and undervalues Osiris Therapeutics. In addition, the plaintiff alleges that the process is also unfair NASDAQ: OSIR stockholders.
