Juan
E. Monteverde, a partner at Faruqi
& Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities firm headquartered
in New York City, is investigating the Board of Directors of Furiex
Pharmaceuticals (“Furiex” or the “Company”) (FURX) for potential
breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with the sale of the Company
to Forest Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE:FURX) for approximately $1.1 billion
in cash and up to $30 per share (approximately $360 million) in a
Contingent Value Right (CVR) that may be payable based on the FDA status
of eluxadoline. The Company’s stockholders are only guaranteed $95 for
each share of Furiex common stock they own, while according to Thomson
Research, at least one analyst has given a price target of $137 for the
Company.

The investigation focuses on whether Furiex’s Board of Directors
breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders by failing
to conduct a fair sales process and whether and by how much this
proposed transaction undervalues the Company to the detriment of
Furiex’s shareholders.
