Celgene (CELG) Alert: Johnson Fistel Investigates Proposed Sale of Celgene Corporation; Are Celgene Shareholders Getting a Fair Deal?

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Celgene Corporation CELG ("Celgene") breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Bristol-Myers Squibb Company BMY ("Bristol-Myers").

On January 3, 2019, Celgene announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Bristol-Myers. Celgene shareholders will receive one Bristol-Myers Squibb share and $50 in cash for each share held, or $102.43 per share. However, shareholders will be subject to the future price fluctuation of Bristol-Myers 's stock price. Additionally, Celgene shareholders will also receive one tradeable contingent value right for each share held, which will entitle them to payments for future regulatory milestones.

The investigation concerns whether the Celgene 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 Celgene shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson Fistel is investigating whether the proposed deal represents adequate consideration, especially given analysts' projections for future earnings and revenue growth, also one Wall Street analyst has a $163.00 price target on the stock. The 52-week high for Celgene was $109.98.
