SAN DIEGO, Sept. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Hill-Rom Holdings (NYSE:HRC) (“Hill-Rom” or the “Company”) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to Baxter International Inc.

On September 3, 2021, Hill-Rom announced entering into a merger agreement with Baxter. Under the agreement terms, Baxter will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Hill-Rom common stock for $156 per share in cash.
