SAN DIEGO, July 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Sequenom, Inc. SQNM breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings LH.

Additional Information:

On July 27, 2016, Sequenom announced it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Laboratory Corporation. Under the terms of the agreement, Sequenom stockholders will receive $2.40 per share in cash.
