Under the terms of the transaction, Covance shareholders will receive only 0.2686 shares of Labcorp stock and $75.76 in cash for each share of Covance stock they own. The investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Covance for not acting in the Company's shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process. The transaction may undervalue the company given that Covance is in a high growth field and is a top five provider of phase I to IV clinical management services. This includes biomarker development and has resulted in annual revenues over $2.5 billion. In addition, the transaction would result in minimal gain or a loss for many Covance shareholders as the Company's stock traded at $106.04 on April 2, 2014.
