WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rigrodsky & Long, P.A.:

Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. announces that it has filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts on behalf of holders of PAREXEL International Corporation (“PAREXEL”) (NasdaqGS:PRXL) common stock in connection with the proposed acquisition of PAREXEL by affiliates of Pamplona Capital Management (“Pamplona”) announced on June 20, 2017 (the “Complaint”).  The Complaint, which alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against PAREXEL, its Board of Directors (the “Board”), and Pamplona, is captioned Scarantino v. PAREXEL International Corporation, Case No. 17-cv-11360 (D. Mass.).

If you wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact plaintiff’s counsel, Seth D. Rigrodsky or Gina M. Serra at Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., 2 Righter Parkway, Suite 120, Wilmington, DE 19803, by telephone at (888) 969-4242, by e-mail at info@rl-legal.com, or at http://rigrodskylong.com/contact-us/. 

On June 19, 2017, PAREXEL entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Pamplona.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, shareholders of PAREXEL will receive $88.10 in cash for each share of PAREXEL stock they own (the “Proposed Transaction”).

Among other things, the Complaint alleges that, in an attempt to secure shareholder support for the Proposed Transaction, defendants issued materially incomplete disclosures in a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on July 14, 2017.  The Complaint alleges that the Proxy Statement, which recommends that PAREXEL stockholders vote in favor of the Proposed Transaction, omits material information necessary to enable shareholders to make an informed decision as to how to vote on the Proposed Transaction, including material information with respect to PAREXEL’s financial projections, the analyses performed by PAREXEL’s financial advisor, and potential conflicts of interest.  The Complaint seeks injunctive and equitable relief and damages on behalf of holders of PAREXEL common stock. 

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 13, 2017.  A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.  Any member of the proposed class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
