Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Investigates Possible Breach of Fiduciary Duty by the Board of Health Grades Inc. - HGRD
Levi & Korsinsky is investigating the Board of Directors of Health Grades Inc. ("Health Grades" or the "Company") (NasdaqGS: HGRD) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with their attempt to sell the Company to an affiliate of Vestar Capital Partners V, L.P. ("Vestar").
- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) August 03, 2010 - Under the terms of the transaction, Health Grades shareholders will receive $8.20 in cash for each Health Grades share of common stock they own for a total transaction value of approximately $294 million.
The investigation concerns whether the Health Grades Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Health Grades stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction and whether Vestar is underpaying for Health Grades shares, thus unlawfully harming Health Grades stockholders. In particular, the offer price is only a small premium over the $7.89 price the Company's shares traded at as recently as May 10, 2010 and the mean price target for Health Grades stock set by analysts is $8.67 per share with at least one analyst setting a price target at $9.00 per share.
