NEW YORK, July 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Notice is hereby given that Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, case No. 1:17-cv-00927, on behalf of shareholders of INC Research Holdings, Inc. ("INC" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: INCR) who have been harmed by INC's and its board of directors' (the "Board") alleged violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") in connection with the proposed merger of the Company with inVentiv Health, Inc. ("inVentiv").

On May 10, 2017, the Board caused the Company to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Proposed Transaction") under which each share of common stock of inVentiv will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist, and will thereafter represent the right to receive a number of newly issued shares of INC common stock equal to the per share merger consideration to be paid in accordance with the merger agreement (the "Merger Consideration"). The shareholder vote on the Proposed Transaction occurred on July 31, 2017.

If you wish to obtain information concerning this action or view a copy of the complaint, you can do so by clicking here: www.faruqilaw.com/INCRnotice.

The complaint alleges that the Definitive Proxy Statement (the "Proxy") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on June 30, 2017, violates Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act because it provides materially incomplete and misleading information about the Company and the Proposed Transaction, including information concerning the Company's financial projections and analysis, on which the Board relied to recommend the Proposed Transaction as fair to INC shareholders.
