Bernstein Liebhard LLP is investigating whether the Board of Directors of Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Amylin” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AMLN) breached its fiduciary duty to its shareholders in agreeing to sell Amylin to Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY).

Under the terms of the agreement, Amylin shareholders will receive $31.00 in cash for each share they own.  The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the price to Amylin shareholders and the process by which the Amylin Board of Directors considered and approved the transaction.
