DALLAS, TX, Jul 22, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- NOVN | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Kendall Law Group, led by a former federal judge and U.S. Attorney, announces a shareholder class action has been filed in Delaware Chancery Court on behalf of current investors of Noven Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: NOVN), who purchased their shares before July 14, 2009. The lawsuit concerns potential breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with an alleged unfair takeover price.

Noven Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co., Inc. announced on Tuesday, July 14, 2009, that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical offered to acquire Noven Pharmaceutical for total cash consideration of approximately $428 million, or $16.50 per share, in an all-cash tender offer for 100% of the outstanding shares of Noven. The offer price represents a 22% premium to the closing price of Noven's common stock on July 13, 2009.

The complaint alleges that "the consideration that Hisamitsu has stated it will offer to holders of Noven common stock, and that Noven's Board has accepted in unanimously agreeing to the Proposed Transaction, is unfair and inadequate because, among other things, the intrinsic value of Noven common stock is materially higher than the amount offered, giving due consideration to the Company's growth and operating results and a promising new drug product in its pipeline."

Hisamitsu has had a capital alliance with Noven since 2001 and owns already 4.98 percent of its outstanding shares. Noven Pharmaceuticals, Inc., located in Miami, Florida, is a specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, licensing, marketing and sale of prescription pharmaceutical products.

Although Kendall Law Group has not yet filed a complaint in this action, the firm has extensive experience representing investors who seek to have a higher price per share or more information disclosed to the market in acquisitions like this between Noven and Hisamitsu.
