NEW YORK--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of IRIS International, Inc. (aIRISa or the aCompanya) (NASDAQ: IRIS) (ISIN: US46270W1053) concerning the proposed acquisition of IRIS by Danaher Corporation in a cash transaction valued at approximately $320.8 million.
The investigation concerns whether the IRIS directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and maximize shareholder value. Under the terms of the agreement, IRIS shareholders would receive $19.50 in cash per share of IRIS common stock. However, the Price to EBITDA and Revenue multiples are below that of comparable transactions.
IRIS shareholders seeking more information about this acquisition are advised to contact Rebecca Jarmon at [ rjarmon@pomlaw.com ] or 212-661-1100 or 888-476-6529, ext. 314.
