DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating the acquisition of Allied Healthcare International Inc. (“Allied Healthcare” or “AHCI”) AHCI on behalf of shareholders. Allied Healthcare recently entered into an acquisition agreement that will pay Allied Healthcare shareholders $3.90 in cash for each share of Allied Healthcare/AHCI owned.

If you are an affected shareholder, and you want to learn more about the investigation or join the action, contact Patrick Powers at Powers Taylor, LLP, toll free (877) 728-9607, via e-mail at patrick@powerstaylor.com, or Willie Briscoe at The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC toll free (877) 397-5991, or via email at WBriscoe@TheBriscoeLawFirm.com. There is no cost or fee to you.

The definitive acquisition agreement involves an all cash transaction valued at approximately $175 million. The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth calendar quarter of 2011.

“We are investigating the fairness of the proposed transaction to Allied Healthcare shareholders, whether the shareholders are being underpaid for their stock, and whether Allied Healthcare's Board of Directors acted in the shareholders' best interests,” said shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe. In particular, although Allied Healthcare reported that the acquisition price represents a 59% premium over AHCI's closing price the day prior to the announcement, in the most recent quarter, Allied Healthcare reported a book value of $3.66 per share and the company has recently reported strong financial results. “Based on these and other factors, we are additionally investigating whether the transaction undervalues the stock, and our anticipated lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders,” said Willie Briscoe.

The Briscoe Law Firm is a full service business litigation and shareholder rights advocacy firm with more than 20 years of experience in complex litigation matters.

Powers Taylor, LLP is a boutique litigation firm that handles a variety of complex business litigation matters nationwide, including claims of investor and stockholder fraud, shareholder oppression, shareholder derivative suits, and security class actions.
