Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating the sale of HealthSpring, Inc. ("HealthSpring" or "HS") (NYSE: HS) to Cigna Corporation for HS shareholders. Under the proposed buyout, HealthSpring shareholders will receive only $55.00 in cash for each share of HealthSpring/HS stock owned.

The definitive acquisition agreement involves an all cash transaction valued at approximately $3.8 billion. The transaction is expected to be completed during the first half of 2012.

"We are investigating the fairness of the proposed transaction to HealthSpring shareholders, whether the shareholders are being underpaid for their stock, and whether HealthSpring's Board of Directors acted in the shareholders' best interest," said shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe. In particular, although HealthSpring reported that the acquisition price represents a 37% premium over HealthSpring's closing price on October 21, 2011, HealthSpring shares traded as high as $48.95 per share as recently as July 2011. "Based on these and other factors, we believe that the transaction may undervalue HealthSpring stock. Our lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders," said shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe.
