(EMIS) Alert: Johnson Fistel Investigates Proposed Sale of Emisphere; Are Shareholders Getting a Fair Deal? SAN DIEGO, Nov. 6, 2020

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Emisphere Technologies (Other OTC: EMIS) ("Emisphere" or the "Company") breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO)

On November 3, 2020, Emisphere announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with Novo Nordisk. Under the terms of the deal, Emisphere shareholders will receive approximately $7.82 for each share of Emisphere they own.

The investigation concerns whether the Emisphere board failed to satisfy its duties to the Company shareholders, including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible for Emisphere shares of common stock.
