The investigation by a law firm is at an early stage and concerns whether a potential takeover would be unfair to NASDAQ:LIFE investors.

Shares of Life Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:LIFE) rose from $55.01 per share on Thursday to $62.00 per share on Friday, Jan 18, 2013.

However, at least one analyst has set the high target price for NASDAQ:LIFE shares at $66.00 per share.

In addition, Life Technologies’ financial performance significantly improved over the past years. In fact, Life Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:LIFE) reported that its annual revenue increased from over $1.62 billion in 2008 to over $3.77 billion in 2011 and its Net Income surged from $5.71 million in ’08 to $378.49 million in 2011. Shares of Life Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:LIFE) grew from as low as $21.67 per share in December 2008 to as high as $55.71 per share in May 2011.

Therefore the investigation a law firm concerns whether the Life Technologies Board of Directors will undertake an adequate sales process, adequately shop the company before entering into any transaction, maximize shareholder value by negotiating the best price, and act in the shareholders' best interests in connection with the proposed sale.
