The law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty to current shareholders of HealthSpring, Inc. ("HealthSpring") (NYSE: HS) and other violations of state law by the board of directors of HealthSpring relating to the proposed acquisition of the company by Cigna Corporation ("Cigna") The firm's investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the board breached their fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value.

On October 24, 2011, Cigna announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire HealthSpring for $55.00 per share in cash, or an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.8 billion. According to the press release, this represents only a 37 percent premium to HealthSpring's closing price on October 21, 2011, the day before the transaction was announced.
