Bernstein Liebhard LLP is investigating whether the Board of Directors of Hi-Tech Pharmacal Co., Inc. (“Hi-Tech” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HITK) breached its fiduciary duty to its shareholders in agreeing to sell Hi-Tech to Akorn, Inc.

Under the terms of the agreement, Hi-Tech shareholders will receive $43.50 in cash for each share they own.  The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the price to Hi-Tech shareholders and the process by which the Hi-Tech Board of Directors considered and approved the transaction.
