Pomerantz Haudek Grossman & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf
of investors of Cogdell Spencer Inc. ("Cogdell" or the "Company")
(NYSE:CSA) concerning the proposed acquisition of Cogdell by Ventas,
Inc. in a cash transaction valued at approximately $760 million.
The investigation concerns whether the Cogdell directors are breaching
their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and
maximize shareholder value. Under the terms of the agreement, Cogdell
shareholders would receive $4.25 per share in cash. However, a research
analyst has set a target share price of $6.00 per share. Moreover,
Cogdell has recently traded above $6.50 per share.
Cogdell shareholders seeking more information about this acquisition are
advised to contact Gustavo Bruckner, Esq. at gfbruckner@pomlaw.com
or 212-661-1100 or toll free at 888-476-6529, ext. 302. Shareholders may
also contact Rachelle R. Boyle at rrboyle@pomlaw.com
or 212-661-1100 or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
