investigating Medco Health Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MHS) for
shareholders in connection with the proposed acquisition by Express
Scripts, Inc. The national securities firm’s investigation seeks to
determine whether Medco and its Board breached their fiduciary
duties by entering into the agreement without properly shopping for
a deal that would provide better value for shareholders. If you are

On July 21, 2011, the companies announced the definitive merger
agreement under which Medco would be acquired by Express Scripts,
in a transaction valued at approximately $29.1 billion. Under the
terms of the agreement, Medco stockholders will receive $28.80 in
cash and 0.81 Express Scripts shares (NASDAQ: ESRX) for each share
of Medco/MHS common stock held. The offer values Medco at $71.36 a
share, which represents a 28% premium to Medco’s Wednesday closing
price of $55.78. According to Thompson/First Call, analysts have
set a price target as high as $77.00 per share for Medco’s stock.
