NEW YORK--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--The Law Office of Joseph Klein is investigating the Board of Directors of Beckman Coulter, Inc. (NYSE: BEC) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with the sale of the Company to Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR). Under the terms of the transaction, Beckman shareholders will receive $83.50 per share of Beckman stock they own, for a total transaction value of $6.8 billion, including the assumption of debt.

The investigation concerns whether the Beckman Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Beckman stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction and whether Danaher Corporation is underpaying for Beckman shares. According to Thomson/First Call, at least one analyst set a price target of $85.00 per share for Beckman stock.
