Business Wire
Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. announces that it is investigating
potential claims against the board of directors of Virtual
Radiologic Corporation (“Virtual Radiologic” or the “Company”)
(Nasdaq:VRAD) concerning possible breaches of fiduciary duty and
other violations of law related to the Company’s entry into an
agreement to be acquired and taken private by Providence Equity
Partners (“Providence”) in a transaction valued at approximately
$294 million (http://www.rigrodskylong.com/news/VRAD).
Under the proposed agreement, Virtual Radiologic shareholders
will receive $17.25 in cash for each share of Virtual Radiologic
common stock they hold. The investigation concerns whether Virtual
Radiologic’s board of directors failed to adequately shop the
Company and obtain the best price possible for Virtual Radiologic’s
shareholders before entering into the agreement with Providence. As
recent as April 26, 2010, the Company announced its first quarter
2010 financial results wherein it reported an 8% increase in
revenue, an increase of adjusted net income of 25%, and an increase
in adjusted EBITDA of 25%. Furthermore, co-founder and Chief
Medical Officer, Dr. Eduard Michel, who owns 6% of the Company’s
outstanding common shares, and Generation Partners, which owns
25.3% of the Company’s common shares, have executed Voting
Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote in favor of
the transaction.
If you own the common stock of Virtual Radiologic and purchased
your shares before May 16, 2010, if you have information or would
