Lead Plaintiff motion deadline
On November 6, 2020, Novo Nordisk A/S announced the acquisition of Emisphere Technologies (EMIS). Under the terms of the agreement:
  • $NVO acquired all outstanding $EMIS shares for $1.35 billion.
  • Novo Nordisk also acquired related Eligen® SNAC royalty stream obligations owed to MHR Fund Management LLC (MHR), the largest shareholder of Emisphere, for $450 million.
  • Consequently, the total acquisition price was $1.8 billion.
Given the longstanding and at times privileged relationships between $NVO and Emisphere's management, investors suspect that documents for the subsequent proxy voting on the merger deal might have contained misleading statements. As a result, $EMIS shareholders may not have received the best price for their shares during the deal.
