The investigation concerns whether the NovaMed Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to NovaMed stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before entering into this transaction and whether Surgery Center Holdings is underpaying for NovaMed shares, thus unlawfully harming NovaMed stockholders. In particular, at least one analyst set a price target of $18 per share for NovaMed stock and the offer price offers no premium over the $13.25 share price that NovaMed stock traded at as recently as January 18, 2011.
