Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Receptos, Inc.

Under the terms of the transaction, Receptos shareholders will receive only $232.00 in cash for each share of Receptos stock they own. The investigation concerns whether the Board of Receptos breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders and whether Celgene is underpaying for Receptos. The transaction may undervalue the Company given Receptos has a strong pipeline which includes drug candidates for ulcerative colitis, Cohn’s disease, relapsing multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, and eosinophilic esophagitis. Consequently, an analyst has set a price target for Receptos stock at $348.00 per share.
