SAN DIEGO, Feb. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of PRA Health Sciences, Inc. ("PRA" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: PRAH) breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to ICON plc, (NASDAQ: ICLR), ("ICON").  

On February 24, 2021, PRA announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with ICON. Under the terms of the transaction, PRA shareholders will receive per share $80 in cash and 0.4125 shares of ICON stock.PRA shareholders will be subject to the future price fluctuation of ICON's stock price. Following the news, in pre-market trading on February 24, 2021, ICON stock was trading down over 6%.
