SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Launches An Investigation Into The Proposed Sale Of Volcano Corp. And Encourages Investors To...

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 Volcano Corporation (“Volcano” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: VOLC) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by Royal Philips (“Philips”).

On December 17, 2014, Volcano and Philips announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Philips will acquire Volcano in a transaction valued at approximately $1.2 billion. Under the terms of the transaction, shareholders of Volcano are expected to receive $18.00 in cash for each share of Volcano common stock they own. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015, though Volcano shareholders will most likely be asked to vote on the transaction well before that time.

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.
