Murray, Frank & Sailer LLP Investigates Breaches of Fiduciary Duty Regarding Acquisition of drugstore.com, inc. by Walgreen Co.
3:27 pm ET 03/24/2011 - Business Wire
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 24, 2011-- Murray, Frank & Sailer LLP is investigating claims of breach of fiduciary duty by certain members of the board of directors of drugstore.com, inc. (NASDAQ: DSCM) (“drugstore.com” or the “Company”) in relation to the acquisition of the Company by Walgreen Co. (“Walgreen”).

On March 24, 2011, drugstore.com and Walgreen announced that Walgreen will acquire drugstore.com pursuant to a transaction under which drugstore.com stockholders will receive $3.80 in exchange for each share of drugstore.com common stock, an aggregate value of approximately $409 million. The transaction is expected to close in July 2011.

The investigation concerns whether certain members of the board of directors breached their fiduciary duty in connection with their efforts to sell drugstore.com to Walgreen at an inadequate price through an unfair process which significantly undervalues the Company. In particular, as recently as May 2010, drugstore.com shares traded as high as $3.91 per share. For this and other reasons, Murray Frank is investigating whether the acquisition price will fairly compensate drugstore.com shareholders.

If you are a current investor in drugstore.com, who purchased DSCM shares before March 24, 2011, and you wish to discuss this investigation or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Bridget Hamill at (800) 497-8076 or (212) 682-1818, or by email at investigations@murrayfrank.com.

$2.50 Put Options Expire at close Friday, February 18, 2011
Looking at the charts this looks ready to head north. Still hoping the shorts are forced to cover. Looking at historical earnings reports this stock dips a bit before taking off.

Not a matter of if but when it hits $2.50? Seems to be where the strike price is stuck at.

GLTA! Go $DSCM

It tested the 2.08 mark just before earnings was released. Great financials for this company should have this in the neighborhood ofd 2.50-2.75 but the shorts will try to keep this contained. If it runs then it will be quick imo.

Hope the shorts are forced to cover. 8)

It seems the entity that brought in during the late november low in the 1.63 - 1.67 range is also shorting the position.

Trying to shake shares loose before the financials are released on the 8th and the strike date on the 11th.

I can't wait until that entity runs out of shares so this thing moves up. 8)

VIPPS approved (DSCM), Drugstore.com accreditation date September 10, 1999 (Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites)

is a strong indicator of an Internet pharmacy’s compliance with state and federal laws and regulations and NABP's criteria. Online retailers of prescription drugs who seek VIPPS accreditation know that they will benefit from NABP’s recognized credibility and the decade-old VIPPS program and Seal. The VIPPS Seal demonstrates public accountability – it is also a symbol of a pharmacy’s commitment to its patients’ health and safety.

The VIPPS accreditation process provides for ongoing evaluation of an Internet pharmacy’s practice. Internet pharmacies function in much the same way as traditional pharmacies and are subject to the same rules, regulations, and patient care requirements as brick-and-mortar pharmacies.
Rogue Online Sites

Unfortunately, because it is so easy to create a Web site, there are thousands of sites pretending to be legitimate online pharmacies. To date, NABP has reviewed nearly 7,000 sites – only 4% of those online sites appear to be in compliance with pharmacy laws and practice standards. Using these rogue sites puts patients at risk of receiving counterfeit or adulterated medications. VIPPS accreditation ensures that an Internet pharmacy is a bona fide pharmacy, and it is the best way for patients to determine that they are getting the quality care they deserve.
VIPPS Online Sites

To ensure public health, VIPPS accreditation requires an Internet pharmacy to comply with the licensing and survey requirements of its state and each state to which it dispenses pharmaceuticals. VIPPS-accredited pharmacies meet nationally endorsed standards of pharmacy practice, and they demonstrate compliance with standards of privacy and authentication and security of prescriptions, adhere to quality assurance policy, and provide meaningful consultation between patients and pharmacists.

VIPPS pharmacy sites display the VIPPS Seal on their Web sites. The Seal is a key benchmark for consumers to measure the quality of a pharmacy’s practice, and by clicking on the VIPPS Seal, they are able to access verified information about the pharmacy.
VIPPS Accreditation Process Overview

* Submit an application, required documentation, and specified fees to NABP
* NABP reviews policies and procedures to ensure adherence to VIPPS criteria
* NABP verifies the pharmacy’s license status
* NABP performs an on-site survey

VIPPS Accreditation Maintenance Overview

* Once accredited, an annual review and three-year reaccreditation are performed.
* To ensure continued compliance, all VIPPS-accredited sites are surveyed once every three years.
* Policies and procedures may be required to be submitted and re-reviewed as part of annual compliance requirements, reaccreditation, or if the scope of the pharmacy changes (ie, ownership, location, types of products offered.

Find a VIPPS online pharmacy like Drugstore.com (DSCM)

You have options when you are buying medicine online, but the safest way to purchase drugs online is through pharmacies accredited by the VIPPS or Vet-VIPPS programs. Choosing to buy your prescriptions from a trustworthy provider can help eliminate the risks associated with sites that fail to comply with federal and state laws and regulations. Protect yourself from these rogue sites and select a VIPPS pharmacy for you and your family.

DSCM Theres about to be alot more fun....

This could be fun

Took a starter here today, chart looks ready for some big moves:

Now volume at 3 million. Hearing some buyout rumors.

finally attempted a break out today. lets see if it holds. looks like there has been alot of accumulation! nice move this after noon. 2 million in volume thus far.

Hi Chucker,

Someone mentioned this stock on the swingtrade forum, so I thought that I would give it a peak.

Thanks

Chucker, yeah I was on this one back then and actually started
this board. It was back before the latest economic downturn and
I expected it to turn profitable soon at that point.

But they missed some earnings and I sold and moved on. It's all
about earnings growth and if earnings are shrinking, so will the
EPS.

Times have changed now and I am back watching this one. I don't own shares yet but that may change soon, very soon.

I do have some out of the money calls on it while I check things
out because of the takeover possibility.

David.--Chucker again. You said" nice start again." Does that mean that you owned this stock in the past?
Chucker

David. You were told to keep an eye. What can be done. We have 4 posts here today and 2 of them are you. Can you think of what we could do to dig into what might be going on. I used to get an email report at least once or twice a week. After receiving it for about 2 months and considering all the emails I receive I replied to them to not send anymore. Of course that was before I recently bought into DSCM. I am going to see if I can get that again.
Chucker

Nice start again

Interesting company, was told to keep an eye here and I think I will

GLTA

Should see the $3 dollar range soon.

drugstore.com, inc. (Nasdaq: DSCM), a leading online retailer of health, beauty, and vision products today announced that Cyber Monday set a new one day record for the number of customer orders. In addition to record order levels on drugstore.com and Beauty.com, customers made more mobile purchases than ever before, with mobile orders up nearly 400% year over year.

New Kid on block. Big Vol today ,in at good price I think? Will get more if it drop on Taxes salls. Up from here ?

Something is about to happen I think.

breakout coming?... massive volume @ 1.76-1.78 range

Party in here. DSCM is the shit.

Amazon.com makes most of their money by being a marketplace, where vendors sell their stuff. I wouldnt bet money on Amazon buying out DSCM. Not saying it wouldnt happen. More likely once drugstore consitantly makes profits.

It took Amazon around ten years before they ever made a profit, so I have high hopes for DSCM because they are starting to profit.

A Dot Com Bet
Discovery Equity Partners increased its position in Drugstore.com (Nasdaq:DSCM) by over 10%. In the last couple of weeks, Discovery bought over 800,000 shares at $1.58 - $1.69 each and now owns 8.7 million shares or 8.3% of the company. As the name implies, drugstore.com operates as an online provider of health, beauty, vision, and pharmacy products. In addition, the company has strategic agreements with Medco Health Solutions, Rite Aid Corporation, General Nutrition Corporation and Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN). It is this relationship with Amazon.com that could be the most valuable.

With a market cap of $182 million, drugstore.com would make an easy acquisition target for Amazon. Amazon is known for eliminating its competition by buying them out. Last week, the company agreed to buy privately held Quidsi, which operates diapers.com, for nearly $600 million. Drugstore.com has no net debt and revenues of nearly $500 million. If Amazon operating structure can yield a decent profit rate from those sales, a buyout would not be that unlikely.

Its time.

Awesome. Military members get free shipping. The Military loves drugs.
