Epocrates Shareholder Alert: Briscoe Law Firm and Powers Taylor, LLP Investigate Sale to athenahealth
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating the sale of Epocrates, Inc. ("Epocrates") (NasdaqGS: EPOC) to athenahealth, Inc. for shareholders. Under the terms of the proposed deal valued at approximately $293 million, Epocrates shareholders will only receive $11.75 in cash for each share of Epocrates stock owned, well below at least one analysts' estimated value of $15.00 per share.

The Epocrates sale investigation centers on whether Epocrates' shareholders are receiving adequate compensation for their shares in the buyout, whether the transaction undervalues Epocrates' stock, and whether Epocrates' board attempted to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders prior to agreeing to the deal. Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance has estimated that the true inherent value of Epocrates could be as high as $15.00 per share, well above the proposed sale price. Shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe stated that "due to the proposed sale price, the size of the deal and other factors, we believe this transaction may undervalue Epocrates' stock. Our proposed lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders."
