SAN DIEGO, Oct. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Ra Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: RARX) ("Ra Pharma") breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to UCB S.A.

On October 10, 2019, Ra Pharma announced that it had signed a definitive merger agreement with UCB. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Ra Pharma shareholders will receive $48.00 in cash for each share of Ra Pharma common stock they own.

The investigation concerns whether the Ra Pharma board failed to satisfy its duties to the Company shareholders, including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible for Ra Pharma shares of common stock.
