The investigation concerns whether Aerpio and its board 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 Aerpio shareholders; and (2) disclose all material information necessary for Aerpio shareholders to adequately assess and value the merger consideration. On behalf of Aerpio shareholders, Halper Sadeh LLP may seek increased consideration for shareholders, additional disclosures and information concerning the proposed transaction, or other relief and benefits.
