Waltham, MA based Avedro, Inc., an ophthalmic pharmaceutical and medical device company, develops and commercializes products to treat ophthalmic disorders and conditions, primarily associated with corneal weakness. On Aug. 7, 2019, Glaukos Corporation (NYSE: GKOS) and Avedro, Inc. (Nasdaq: AVDR) announced that the companies have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Glaukos will acquire Avedro in an all-stock transaction. Under the terms of the merger agreement, for each share of Avedro common stock they own, Avedro shareholders will receive an exchange ratio equivalent of 0.365 shares of Glaukos stock, or a value of approximately $27.85 per share.

However, given that Certain shareholders of Avedro, including OrbiMed, HealthQuest and LAV Agile, which collectively own approximately 41% of the outstanding shares of Avedro common stock, have already entered into voting agreements to vote in favor of the transaction, the investigation concerns whether the offer is unfair to NASDAQ: AVDR stockholders.
