The investigation concerns whether Verona and its board of directors violated the federal securities laws and/or breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to, among other things: (1) obtain the best possible consideration for Verona shareholders; (2) determine whether Merck is underpaying for Verona; and (3) disclose all material information necessary for Verona shareholders to adequately assess and value the merger consideration.
