Lawsuit Overview
January 14, 2014 (Shareholders Foundation) - An investor, who currently hold shares of shares of Solta Medical Inc (NASDAQ:SLTM) filed a lawsuit in effort to halt the proposed takeover of Solta Medical Inc by Valeant Pharmaceuticals International for $2.92 per share.
The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ:SLTM stockholders arising out of the attempt to sell Solta Medical Inc too cheaply via an unfair process to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International.
On December 16, 2013, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (NYSE: VRX and TSX: VRX) announced that it has entered into an agreement under which Valeant Pharmaceuticals International will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Solta Medical Inc (NASDAQ:SLTM) for $2.92 per share in cash.
However, the plaintiff alleges that the $2.92-offer is too low and undervalues Solta Medical Inc. Indeed, at least one analyst has set the high target price for NASDAQ:SLTM shares at $4.00 per share.
Shares of Solta Medical Inc closed on Jan. 13, 2014, at $2.92 per share.
