INVESTOR ALERT: Levi & Korsinsky, LLP Announces Investigation of Salix Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. and Its Board of Directors In Connection With the Sale of the Company to Cosmo Technologies Limited -- SLXP

NEW YORK, July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky is investigating the Board of Directors of Salix Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. ("Salix" or "the Company") SLXP for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with the sale of the Company to Cosmo Tech, a subsidiary of Cosmo Pharmaceuticals S.p.A which will change its name to Salix Pharmaceuticals, plc upon the completion of the merger.

Click here to learn more about the investigation: http://zlk.9nl.com/salix-pharmaceuticals-slxp, or call: 877-363-5972. There is no cost or obligation to you.

Under the terms of the transaction, Salix shareholders will receive one share of the post-merger entity for each share of Salix they own. Salix shareholders will own 80 percent of the newly combined company. The investigation concerns whether the Board of Salix breached their fiduciary duties to stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before agreeing to enter into this transaction, and whether Cosmo Pharmaceuticals S.p.A. is underpaying for Salix shares. Cosmo will be able to designate one director to the Board of Salix Pharmaceuticals, plc, and the post-merger entity will be subject to certain standstill provisions for at least 10 years.
