NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Newman Ferrara LLP announced today that the firm is conducting an investigation on behalf of shareholders of Agios Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Agios” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:AGIO) into potential breaches of fiduciary duty by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Agios, headquartered in Cambridge, MA, is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, focused on the treatment of cancer and rare genetic metabolic disorders. Newman Ferrara’s investigation focuses on decisions made by the Board, without shareholder approval, the result of which significantly diminish shareholder value and do not benefit the Company. Considering the Company’s lackluster performance since its 2013 initial public offering, it is clear that the Board lacks the ability to fairly assess and oversee the Company’s direction and leadership.
Current Agios stockholders seeking more information on this matter are invited to contact Newman Ferrara attorneys Jeffrey Norton ([email protected]) or Ryan Jerome ([email protected]) to discuss this investigation and their rights.
Newman Ferrara maintains a multifaceted practice based in New York City with attorneys specializing in complex commercial and multi-party litigation, securities fraud and shareholder litigation, consumer protection, civil rights, and real estate.
