RAPTOR (RPTP) ALERT: Johnson & Weaver, LLP Launches an Investigation into the Fairness of Price and Process in Proposed Sale of Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp.; Are Shareholders Getting a Fair Price?

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. (NASDAQ:RPTP) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Horizon Pharma Plc.

Additional Information: 
Raptor is a biopharmaceutical company that focuses on developing and commercializing transformative treatments for people affected by rare and debilitating diseases.

On September 12, 2016, Raptor announced it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Horizon. Under the terms of the agreement, Horizon will pay $9.00 per share in cash for each share of Raptor common stock.

The investigation concerns whether the Raptor 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 Raptor shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson & Weaver is investigating whether the proposed deal price represents adequate consideration. The deal may undervalue the Company resulting in a loss for many long term shareholders. For example, in July 2015, Raptor traded at over $15.00.

If you are a shareholder of Raptor 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.
