Law Firm Kirby McInerney LLP Investigating Potential Claims on Behalf of ViroPharma Incorporated Stockholders

Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of ViroPharma Incorporated (“ViroPharma” or the “Company”) VPHM concerning the proposed acquisition of the Company by Shire plc (“Shire”). Under the terms of the proposed transaction, ViroPharma stockholders will receive $50.00 in cash for each share of ViroPharma owned, valuing the transaction at approximately $4.2 billion.

The investigation concerns whether the ViroPharma Board of Directors violated its fiduciary duties by agreeing to the proposed transaction and whether the $50.00 per share proposed consideration adequately values ViroPharma's common stock.
