An investigation on behalf of investors of Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. (NASDAQ:RPTP) in connection with the proposed takeover was announced and NASDAQ:RPTP stockholders should contact the Shareholders Foundation.

San Diego, CA -- (SBWire) -- 09/21/2016 --An investigation on behalf of investors, who currently hold shares of Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. (NASDAQ:RPTP), was announced over the buyout of Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. by Horizon Pharma plc for $9.00 per share.

Investors who purchased shares of Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. (NASDAQ:RPTP) and currently hold any of those NASDAQ:RPTP shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call 858-779-1554.

The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. breached their fiduciary duties owed toNASDAQ:RPTP investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.

On September 12, 2016, Horizon Pharma plc (NASDAQ:HZNP) and Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. (NASDAQ:RPTP) announced the companies have entered into an agreement under which Horizon Pharma will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. (NASDAQ:RPTP) common stock for $9.00 per share in cash, for an implied fully diluted equity value of approximately $800 million.

However, given that at least one analyst has set the high target price for NASDAQ:RPTP shares at $11.00 per share and given that NASDAQ:RPTP shares reached as high as $16.00 per share in June 2015, the investigation concerns whether the offer is unfair to(NASDAQ:RPTP stockholders. More specifically, the investigation concerns whether the Raptor Pharmaceutical Board of Directors undertook an adequate sales process, adequately shopped the company before entering into the transaction, maximized shareholder value by negotiating the best price, and acted in the shareholders' best interests in connection with the proposed sale.

Those who are current investors in Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp. shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
