SAN DIEGO, Oct. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Corium International, Inc. ("Corium") CORI breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Gurnet Point Capital ("Gurnet").

On October 11, 2018, Corium announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Gurnet. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Gurnet will pay $12.50 per share in cash upon the closing. The agreement also provides for a Contingent Value Right of $0.50 per share that is payable based on the FDA's approval of Corium's lead product candidate, Corplex Donepezil, for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, prior to March 31, 2020.

The investigation concerns whether the Corium board failed to satisfy its 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 Corium shares of common stock.

If you are a shareholder of Corium 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@johnsonfistel.com) at 619-814-4471.
