Law Office of Jonathan M. Stein, P.L., Investigates Possible Breach of Fiduciary Duty by the Board of Emergency Medical Servi...

The Law Office of Jonathan M. Stein, P.L. is investigating the Board of Directors of Emergency Medical Services Corporation ("EMSC" or the "Company") (NYSE: EMS) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with their attempt to complete a sale of the Company to Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, LLC. Under the terms of the proposed transaction, EMSC shareholders are to receive $64.00 in cash for each share of EMSC Class A common stock and Class B common stock and each LP Exchangeable Unit. Onex Corporation and its affiliates, the holders of the Company’s LP Exchangeable Units, have sufficient voting power to approve the merger, and have agreed to vote in favor of adoption of the merger agreement.

The investigation involves whether the Board of Directors of EMSC breached their fiduciary duties to EMSC stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before agreeing to enter into the transaction and whether EMSC has disclosed all material information to shareholders about the proposed transaction. Specifically, the offer price is a 9% discount to EMSC’s closing price on February 11, 2011. Further, according to Yahoo Finance, analysts have set an average target price for EMSC at over $68.00 per share, and one analyst has set a $76.00 target price per share.

If you own stock in EMSC and wish to obtain additional information about your rights, or if you have information regarding the above investigation, please contact Jonathan M. Stein, Esq. either via email at [e-mail] or by telephone at [phone].
