Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TARO)
Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC a nationally recognized law firm, notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (“Taro” or “the Company”) (NYSE: TARO) and certain of its officers.
Class Definition
This lawsuit seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Taro securities in connection with the merger of Taro into Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. The proposed merger was announced on January 25, 2024, and Sun Pharma announced that the transaction had closed on June 24, 2024.
Case Details
The Complaint alleges that on January 17, 2024, Taro’s Board caused the Company to enter into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (“Sun Pharma”), pursuant to which, Taro shareholders received $43.00 in cash for each ordinary share they owned (the “Merger Consideration”). The Complaint adds that on April 15, 2024, the Board authorized the filing of a materially incomplete and misleading definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), in violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and setting a vote on May 22, 2024.
The Complaint alleges that Defendants touted the fairness of the Merger Consideration to the Company’s stockholders in the Proxy, and failed to disclose material information that is necessary for stockholders to properly assess the fairness of the Transaction, thereby rendering certain statements in the Proxy incomplete and misleading. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the Proxy contains materially incomplete and misleading information concerning BofA Securities, Inc.’s (“BofA Securities”) methodology and key assumptions in describing the valuation analyses that BofA Securities performed.
