SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Commences An Investigation Into The Proposed Sale Of Receptos, Inc. And Encourages Investors ...

STEVENSON, Md., July 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Receptos, Inc. ("Receptos" or the "Company") (NasdaqGS: RCPT) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by Celgene Corporation.

Under the terms of the transaction, Receptos shareholders are anticipated to receive $232.00 in cash for each share of Receptos common stock held.  The transaction may undervalue Receptos and may result in a substantial loss for many shareholders.   For example, according to Yahoo! Finance, at least one Wall Street analyst has issued a price target for Receptos stock at $348.00 per share.

The firm's investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company's Board of Directors failed to satisfy their duties to shareholders, including whether the Board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the Board obtained the best price possible for the Company's shares of common stock.

If you currently own common stock of Receptos and believe that the proposed buyout price is too low, or you would like to learn more about the investigation being conducted by Brower Piven, please visit our website at http://www.browerpiven.com/currentinvestigations.html.  You may also request more information by contacting Brower Piven either by email at [e-mail] or by telephone at [phone].
