However,
The merger of Advaxis and Biosight Ltd. is being investigated by Halper Sadeh LLP, a worldwide investor rights law firm, to see if it is fair to Advaxis shareholders. On a fully diluted basis, Advaxis equity investors will control about 25% of Advaxis common stock and former Biosight equity holders will own approximately 75% of Advaxis common stock when the transaction is completed.
The inquiry is looking at whether Advaxis and its board of directors broke federal securities laws and/or violated their fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to do things like:
- Secure the best possible consideration for Advaxis stockholders.
- Provide all significant facts required for Advaxis shareholders to make an informed decision on the merger consideration.
