PZZ Prospect Medical Hldgs (MM)

Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the Delaware Chancery Court on behalf of all shareholders of Prospect Medical Holdings, Inc. ("Prospect" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PZZ).

According to a complaint filed, on or around August 16, 2010, the Board caused Prospect to enter into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") to be acquired by Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., Ivy Holdings, Inc. and Ivy Merger Sub Corp. (collectively "LGP") in a transaction valued at approximately $363 million, including the assumption of approximately $158 million in Prospect's net debt. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Proposed Transaction is particularly troubling in light of the fact that certain of the Individual Defendants and certain of the Company's executives have agreed to enter into a Contribution and Subscription Agreement and a Company Stockholder Voting Agreement. Accordingly, the complaint alleges that in approving the Merger Agreement, the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary duties to plaintiff and the Class. Furthermore, LGP and the Company knowingly aided and abetted the Individual Defendants' breaches of fiduciary duty.
