Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that it is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of Home Diagnostics, Inc. (“Home Diagnostics” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:HDIX) related to the Company’s agreement to be acquired by Nipro Corporation (“Nipro”). The transaction is valued at approximately $215 million, including assumed debt.

Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement entered into by the parties, Nipro will acquire all outstanding shares of Home Diagnostics’ common stock for $11.50 per share in cash by means of a cash tender followed by a second-step merger in which untendered Home Diagnostics’ shares will be acquired at the same $11.50 net cash price per share.
