SHAREHOLDER NOTICE: Brodsky & Smith Announces an Investigation of Decibel Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq – DBTX)

BALA CYNWYD – August 9, 2023 /Globe Newswire/ – Law office of Brodsky & Smith announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Decibel Therapeutics, Inc. (“Decibel” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq – DBTX) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of federal and state law in connection with the sale of the Company to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq – REGN). Under the terms of the Agreement, Decibel shareholders will receive $4.00 per share of Decibel common stock payable in cash at closing, with an additional non-tradeable contingent value right (CVR) to receive up to $3.50 per share in cash upon achievement of certain clinical development and regulatory milestones for Decibel’s lead investigational candidate, DB-OTO, within specified time periods. The proposed acquisition values Decibel at a total equity value of approximately $109 million based on the amount payable at closing, and a total equity value of up to approximately $213 million if the CVR milestones are achieved.

The investigation concerns whether the Decibel Board breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to conduct a fair process resulting in Regeneron paying less than full value for the Company.
