Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating the sale of Lincare Holdings, Inc.

Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, Linde AG will acquire all outstanding shares of Lincare in a cash transaction valued at approximately $4.6 billion. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter.

The investigation centers on whether Lincare shareholders are receiving adequate compensation for their shares in the buyout, whether the transaction undervalues Lincare stock, and whether Lincare’s board attempted to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders prior to agreeing to the deal. “Due to the lack of a significant premium to the shareholders and other factors, we believe that the transaction may undervalue LNCR stock. Our lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders,” said shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe.
