PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaskela Law LLC announces that it is investigating Akcea Therapeutics, Inc. ("Akcea") (NASDAQ: AKCA) on behalf of the company's shareholders.

On August 31, 2020, Akcea announced that it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Ionis") for $18.15 per share in cash.

The firm's investigation seeks to determine whether Akcea's directors breached their fiduciary duties in agreeing to sell the company to Ionis, and whether the proposed transaction as structured undervalues Akcea's common stock.
