DALLAS, July 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Securities lawyers at Goldfarb LLP are investigating alleged violations of shareholder protection laws by officers and directors of Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMLN) in connection with a buyout for $31.00 per share to Bristol-Myers Squibb. Concerned AMLN investors are encouraged to contact attorney Hamilton Lindley at 877-583-2855 or hlindley@goldfarbllp.com about their rights and remedies.

"Amylin's recently approved diabetes drug, Bydureon, has been noted to have huge potential in the diabetes drug market, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bristol-Myers," said Hamilton Lindley. "Seeing this potential, AstraZeneca plans to collaborate with Bristol-Myers, following the completion of the acquisition, and making payments to Amylin as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bristol-Myers. Our potential lawsuit will seek to ensure that all important information is disclosed so that shareholder interests are protected in terms of price and information."
