SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Commences an Investigation into the Proposed Sale of IMS Health Holdings, Inc. & Encourages I...

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 IMS Health Holdings, Inc. (“IMS” or the “Company”) (NYSE: IMS) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by Quintiles Transnational Holdings, Inc.

Under the terms of the agreement, IMS shareholders are anticipated to receive 0.3840 Quintiles shares for each share of IMS common stock held, the value of which is equivalent to $26.53 per share of IMS. 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, especially given that according to Yahoo! Finance, at least one Wall Street analyst has issued a price target for IMS stock at $35.00 per share.

If you currently own common stock of IMS 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.
