Investor Lawsuit Against Takeover of Covance Inc. (CVD) Announced by Shareholders Foundation

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 8, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Shareholders Foundation, Inc. announces that an investor, who currently holds shares of Covance Inc. (CVD), filed a lawsuit in effort to stop the proposed takeover of Covance Inc. by Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings for a value of approximately $105.12 per CVD share.

Investors, who purchased shares of Covance Inc. (NYSE: CVD ) prior to November 3, 2014, and currently hold any of those (NYSE: CVD ) shares, have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation, Inc. at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1 (858) 779 - 1554.

The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to (NYSE: CVD ) stockholders by agreeing to sell Covance Inc too cheaply via an unfair process to Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings.

On November 3, 2014, Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings ("LabCorp") (NYSE: LH ) and Covance Inc. (NYSE: CVD ) announced that they have entered into an agreement under which LabCorp will acquire Covance Inc. (NYSE: CVD ) for cash and LabCorp shares currently valued at $105.12 per Covance Inc. (NYSE: CVD ) share, or an equity value of approximately $6.1 billion and an enterprise value of approximately $5.6 billion.

However, the plaintiff claims that the offer is too low and undervalues Covance Inc. Indeed, (NYSE: CVD ) shares traded as recently as April 2014 as high as $106.64 per share in the open market. In addition, Covance Inc's performance improved lately. In addition, the plaintiff claims that the process is also unfair to (NYSE: CVD ) stockholders.

Those who currently hold Covance Inc. (NYSE: CVD ) shares and purchased any of those (NYSE: CVD ) shares prior to the acquisition announcement have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation, Inc. at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1 (858) 779 - 1554.
