The investigation concerns whether the Board is acting in Venoco shareholders' best interests in connection with the proposed sale, and whether the consideration to be paid to Venoco shareholders is unfair, inadequate, and substantially below the fair and inherent value of Venoco stock. According to Yahoo! Finance, at least one analyst set a price target for Venoco stock at $22.00 per share and Venoco shares have traded as high as $14.75 per share as recently as July 22, 2011.
