Map Pharmaceuticals Shareholder Alert: Briscoe Law Firm and Powers Taylor, LLP Investigate Sale to Allergan, Inc.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating the sale of Map Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Map”) (MAPP) to Allergan, Inc. for shareholders. Under the terms of the proposed deal valued at approximately $157 million, Map shareholders will only receive $25 in cash for each share of Map stock owned. The merger is expected to close in the first quarter or early in the second quarter of 2013.

The Map sale investigation centers on whether Map’s shareholders are receiving adequate compensation for their shares in the buyout, whether the transaction undervalues Map’s stock, and whether Map’s board attempted to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders prior to agreeing to the deal. According to shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe, “due to the proposed sale price, the size of the deal and other factors, we believe this transaction may undervalue Map’s stock. Our proposed lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders.”
