Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Santarus, Inc. ("Santarus" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:SNTS) concerning the proposed acquisition of the Company by Salix Pharmaceuticals, Ltd. ("Salix"). Under the terms of the proposed transaction, Santarus stockholders will receive $32.00 in cash for each share of Santarus owned, valuing the transaction at approximately $2.6 billion.

The investigation concerns whether the Santarus Board of Directors violated its fiduciary duties by agreeing to the proposed transaction and whether the $32.00 per share proposed consideration adequately values Santarus' common stock.
