ZOLL Medical Corporation Investor Alert: The Briscoe Law Firm and Powers Taylor, LLP Investigate the Board of ZOLL Medical Corporation Concerning the Sale of ZOLL to Asahi Kasei Corporation

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 sale of ZOLL Medical Corporation (“ZOLL”) ZOLL to Asahi Kasei Corporation for shareholders. Under the proposed transaction, ZOLL shareholders will receive $93.00 for each share of ZOLL stock owned.

If you are an affected investor, and you want to learn more about the lawsuit 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, (214) 706-9314, or via email at WBriscoe@TheBriscoeLawFirm.com. There is no cost or fee to you.

The definitive merger agreement involves an all cash transaction with a total equity value of approximately $2.2 billion. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2012.

At least one analyst has set a price target of $100.00 per share for ZOLL's stock. Therefore, the investigation centers on whether ZOLL shareholders are receiving adequate compensation for their shares in the buyout, whether the transaction undervalues ZOLL stock, and whether ZOLL's board attempted to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders prior to agreeing to the deal.
