The Law Firm of Weiss & Lurie Investigates the Acquisition of Cephalon, Inc.

Weiss & Lurie, a national class action and shareholder rights law firm with offices in New York City and Los Angeles, is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of Directors of Cephalon, Inc. (NasdaqGS:CEPH) arising from its proposed acquisition by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NASDAQ:TEVA) for $81.50 per share. The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2011.

Weiss & Lurie is investigating whether Cephalon’s Board acted in the best interests of shareholders in approving the transaction and whether the Board adequately shopped the Company prior to entering into the acquisition agreement. A number of analysts set Cephalon’s price target above the acquisition price of $81.50 per share, with the high target being $92.
