Rigrodsky
& Long, P.A. announces that it is investigating potential legal
claims against the board of directors of Optimer Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(“Optimer” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ GS: OPTR)
regarding possible breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of
law related to the Company’s entry into an agreement to be acquired by
Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Cubist”) (NASDAQ GS: CBST)
in a transaction valued at approximately $801 million.

Under the terms of the agreement, public shareholders of Optimer will
receive $10.75 per share in cash for each share of Optimer they own. In
addition to the cash consideration, Optimer shareholders would also
receive one Contingent Value Right for each Optimer share they own,
which could yield additional cash consideration of up to $5.00 per share.
The investigation concerns whether Optimer’s board of directors failed
to adequately shop the Company and obtain the best possible value for
Optimer’s shareholders before entering into an agreement with Cubist.
According to Yahoo! Finance, at least one analyst has set a price target
for Optimer stock at $25.00 per share.
If you own the common stock of Optimer and purchased your shares before
July 30, 2013, if you have information or would like to learn more about
these claims, or if you wish to discuss these matters or have any
