SHAREHOLDER NOTICE: Brodsky & Smith Announces an Investigation of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq – SPPI)
BALA CYNWYD – April 25, 2023 /Newsfile/ – Law office of Brodsky & Smith announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Spectrum” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq – SPPI) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of federal and state law in connection with the Company’s agreement to be acquired by Assertio Holdings, Inc. (“Assertio”) (Nasdaq – ASRT). Under the terms of the Agreement, Spectrum stockholders will receive a fixed exchange ratio of 0.1783 shares of Assertio common stock for each share of Spectrum common stock they own, implying an upfront value of $1.14 per Spectrum share (approximately $248 million) based on Assertio’s stock price on April 24, 2023. Additionally, Spectrum stockholders will receive one CVR per Spectrum share entitling them to receive up to an additional $0.20 per share in total (approximately $43 million), payable in cash or stock at Assertio’s election. Following the close of the transaction, Assertio stockholders will own approximately 65% of the combined company, and Spectrum stockholders will own approximately 35%, on a fully diluted basis.
