Under the terms of the proposed agreement, IMS shareholders will receive $22 cash for each share of IMS common stock they own. The transaction has a total value of $5.2 billion, including the assumption of debt.

The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the price to IMS shareholders and the process by which the IMS Board of Directors considered and approved the transaction. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had over $300 million in cash – a position that may not be adequately valued in this proposed agreement.
