Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Announces Shareholder Investigation Related to the Acquisition of Genoptix, Inc. - GXDX

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities firm headquartered in New York City, is investigating the Board of Directors of Genoptix, Inc. (“Genoptix” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: GXDX) for potential breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with their conduct related to the sale of the Company to Novartis AG (NYSE: NVS) for an estimated $470 million. The proposed transaction offers Genoptix shareholders to only receive $25 in cash for each share of Genoptix common stock. According to Yahoo! Finance, at least one analyst has set a price target of $28 per share for Genoptix common stock. Further, the transaction is structured as a tender offer which may avoid a shareholder vote by Genoptix shareholders. Prior to this transaction, on December 16, 2010, the Committee of Genoptix, in connection with its 2010 annual bonus compensation review, awarded 2010 performance bonuses of $363,375 to Dr. Tina S. Nova, Genoptix’s President and Chief Executive Officer, $226,688 to Samuel D. Riccitelli, Genoptix’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, $136,875 to Douglas A. Schuling, Genoptix’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Offer, and $93,000 to Dr. Christian V. Kuhlen, Genoptix’s Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.
