Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie
Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers
Taylor LLP are investigating potential claims against the Board of
Directors of Rite Aid Corporation (“Rite Aid”) (NYSE: RAD) concerning
the merger with Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. Under the terms of the
agreement, valued at approximately $17.2 billion, Rite Aid shareholders
will only receive $9.00 in cash per share held, which is significantly
lower than the 52-week high and at least one analyst’s estimated value
of $10.00.
If you are an affected investor, and you want to learn more about the
investigation or if you have information that you believe would be
helpful to our investigation of the fairness of the proposed
transaction, contact Willie Briscoe at The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC via
email at shareholders@thebriscoelawfirm.com,
Patrick Powers at Powers Taylor LLP via e-mail at shareholder@powerstaylor.com
or by calling toll free at (877) 728-9607. There is no cost or fee to
you.
The investigation centers on whether Rite Aid’s Board of Directors is
acting in the shareholders’ best interests, whether the board is
properly negotiating a higher share price for the shareholders, and
whether the board has employed an adequate process to review and act on
the proposed transaction. Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo!
Finance believes the true inherent value of Rite Aid could be as high as
$10.00 per share.
