The law firm of Finkelstein Thompson LLP is investigating potential claims on behalf of shareholders of Accelrys, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACCL) (“Accelrys” or “the Company”), concerning the Company’s proposed acquisition by Dassault Systèmes S.A. Under the terms of the proposal, Accelrys shareholders will receive $12.50 in cash for each share of Accelrys they own. At least one analyst has set a target price of $13.00 for Accelrys shares. The entire transaction is valued at approximately $750 million.
