BALA CYNWYD, Pa., June 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Idenix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Idenix" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: IDIX) relating to the proposed acquisition by Merck & Co., Inc. ("Merck").

Under the terms of the transaction, Idenix shareholders will receive only $24.50 in cash for each share of Idenix stock they own. The investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Idenix for not acting in the Company's shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process.

Further, the investigation seeks to determine if the transaction undervalues Idenix given that is has been reported that Merck may need Idenix's drug Samatasvir and two of the Company's clinical-stage drugs to combine with its own oral hepatitis C compounds. In addition, Idenix claims that Gilead is infringing on one of its key patents which, if successful, could lead to a large upfront payment or even a steady royalty payment.
