Investor Alert: Peiffer Rosca Wolf Law Firm Investigating Whether Proposed Sale of KYTHERA Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. Is in Shareholders' Best Interest

CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The Peiffer Rosca Wolf law firm is investigating whether members of the board of directors of KYTHERA Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. ("KYTHERA" or "Company") (NASDAQ GS: KYTH) breached their fiduciary duties by entering into a definitive agreement to a proposed transaction in which Allergan plc ("Allergan") AGN will acquire KYTHERA in a cash and equity transaction valued at $75.00 per KYTHERA share, or approximately $2.1 billion. Under terms of the agreement, the fixed-value transaction consideration will be payable 80 percent in cash and 20 percent in new Allergan shares issued to KYTHERA shareholders.

The investigation concerns whether KYTHERA's board breached fiduciary duties owed to KYTHERA shareholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before agreeing to enter the proposed transaction, and whether the proposed consideration adequately values the Company. According to Yahoo! Finance, at least one analyst has issued a price target for KYTHERA stock at $85.00 per share, which is substantially higher than the $75.00 per share offer price. The investigation also focuses on whether KYTHERA has disclosed all material information to investors about the proposed transaction.
