Complete Genomics Shareholder Alert: The Briscoe Law Firm and Powers Taylor, LLP Investigate Sale to BGI-Shenzhen

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 Complete Genomics, Inc. (“GNOM”) GNOM to Chinese company BGI-Shenzhen for shareholders. The proposed transaction is a cash deal whereby Complete Genomics shareholders will receive $3.15 for each share of GNOM stock owned, well below the 52-week high of $7.73 per share and at least one analyst's estimated value of $5.00 per share.

The Complete Genomics buyout investigation centers on whether GNOM shareholders are receiving adequate compensation for their shares in the buyout, whether the transaction undervalues GNOM stock, and whether GNOM's board attempted to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders prior to agreeing to the deal. Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance has estimated that the true inherent value of the GNOM is as high as $5.00 per share, well above the proposed sale price. “Because the proposed price appears to undervalue the shares, we want to ensure that the transaction is fair for shareholders. Our lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest possible share price for all shareholders,” said shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe.
