SAGENT(SGNT) ALERT: Johnson & Weaver, LLP Launches an Investigation into the Fairness of Price and Process in Proposed Sale of Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; Are Shareholders Getting a Fair Price?

SAN DIEGO, July 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc. SGNT breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Nichi-Iko Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Additional Information:
Sagnet develops, sources, manufactures, and markets injectable pharmaceuticals in North America.

On July 11, 2016, Sagnet announced it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Nichi-Iko. Under the terms of the agreement, Nichi-Iko will pay $21.75 per share in cash for each share of Sagnet common stock.

The investigation concerns whether the Sagnet board failed to satisfy their duties to the Company shareholders, including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible for Sagnet shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson & Weaver is investigating whether the proposed deal price represents adequate consideration; especially given that the price target for one Wall Street analyst is $25.00.  The 52-week high for Sagnet stock is $26.47.

If you are a shareholder of Sagnet and believe the proposed buyout price is too low or you're interested in learning more about the investigation or your legal rights and remedies, please contact lead analyst Jim Baker (jimb@johnsonandweaver.com) at 619-814-4471.
