WeissLaw is investigating whether PRNB's board acted to maximize shareholder value in agreeing to the proposed transaction, whether the board was fully informed as to the valuation of the proposed acquisition of the Company, and whether all information regarding the valuation of the deal will be fully and fairly disclosed to PRNB shareholders.  Notably, at least one analyst set a target price of $130.00 per PRNB share.
