Pomerantz Haudek Grossman & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. ("Par Pharmaceutical" or the "Company") (NYSE: PRX) (ISIN: US69888P1066) concerning the proposed acquisition of Par Pharmaceutical by an affiliate of TPG in a cash transaction valued at approximately $1.9 billion.

The investigation concerns whether the Par Pharmaceutical directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and maximize shareholder value. Under the terms of the agreement, Par Pharmaceutical shareholders would receive $50.00 in cash per share of Par Pharmaceutical common stock. However, the Price to EBITDA and Price to Revenue multiples are below those of comparable transactions.

Par Pharmaceutical shareholders seeking more information about this acquisition are advised to contact Ofer Ganot at oganot@pomlaw.com or 212-661-1100 or 888-476-6529, ext. 315.
