DERMA (DSCI) ALERT: Johnson & Weaver, LLP Launches an Investigation into the Fairness of Price and Process in Proposed Sale of Derma Sciences, Inc.; Is $7 a Fair Price?

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Derma Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: DSCI) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation. Derma operates as a medical device company in the wound care market.

On January 10, 2017, Derma announced it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Integra. Under terms of the agreement, Integra will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Derma for $7 per share.

The investigation concerns whether the Derma board failed to satisfy their duties to the Company shareholders, including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible for Derma shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson & Weaver is investigating whether the proposed deal price represents adequate consideration, especially given one Wall Street analyst has a $8.50 price target on the stock.

If you are a shareholder of Derma and believe the proposed buyout price is too low and you're interested in learning more about the investigation or your legal rights and remedies, please contact lead analyst Jim Baker ([email protected]) at 619-814-4471.
