Chelsea Therapeutics Shareholder Alert: Former SEC Attorney Willie Briscoe and Powers Taylor LLP Investigate the Acquisition Proposal from H. Lundbeck A/S


DALLAS --(Business Wire)--

Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor LLP are investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Chelsea Therapeutics ("Chelsea") (NasdaqCM: CHTP) concerning the proposed acquisition by H. Lundbeck. Under the acquisition proposal, valued at approximately $658 million, Chelsea shareholders will only receive $6.44 in cash per share owned and contingent value rights worth up to $1.50. The total possible consideration of $7.94 is well below at least one analyst's estiated value of $12 per share.



If you are an affected investor, and you want to learn more about the investigation or if you have information that you believe would be helpful to the determination of the fairness of the proposed transaction, contact Willie Briscoe at The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, (214) 239-4568, or via email at [email protected], or Patrick Powers at Powers Taylor LLP, toll free (877) 728-9607, via e-mail at [email protected].

The investigation centers on whether Chelsea's Board of Directors is acting in the shareholders' best interests, whether the board is properly negotiating a higher share price for the shareholders, and whether the board has employed an adequate process to review and act on the proposed transaction. Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance believes that the true inherent value of the stock could be as high as $12 per share.
