Interested | 01.12.2009 21:11 | Animal Liberation | World

Life Sciences Research (LSR) announced that, at a special meeting of its stockholders, its stockholders voted to approve the merger of Lion Merger with and into LSR pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 8, among LSR, Lion Holdings and Lion Merger, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 20, among LSR, Lion Holdings, and Lion Merger.

In a release dated November 23, the company stated:

The transaction is expected to be consummated on or about November 24, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Court case

01.12.2009 22:59

There's still a court case to be settled by some very disgruntled former share holders who have lost lots of money by buying at over $30 a share.

Makes me laugh that these investors in torture lost money.

In their final accounts released just before they went private the company showed it was fairing even worse this year and again had a book to bill (amount of work coming in compared to whats done) of less than 1. This is completely unsustainable and they now have less that 7 months booked in work. Contract research organisations usually have well over a year work in advance. No wonder many investors decided to cut their loss. They saw the writing on the wall.

Not that long ago...

It wasn't very long ago that HLS was determined to get floated on the stock market. They fought tooth and nail to get on their. SHAC at the time said that HLS would not stay on for long and would be off within 3 years. Looks like SHAC was right, HLS have their tail between their legs and have been forced off the stock market because the company is losing business left right and centre.

How things change
