NEW YORK, Feb. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Viela Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIE) breached their fiduciary duties or violated the federal securities laws in connection with the company’s acquisition by Horizon Therapeutics plc (NASDAQ: HZNP).

Pursuant to the merger agreement, Viela stockholders will receive $53 in cash for each share of Viela common stock owned. The deal is scheduled to close in the first quarter of 2021.
