Investigation of proposed sale of Hyperion Therapeutics, Inc. (HPTX) to Horizon Pharma plc (HZNP)

Komlossy Law, P.A. is investigating the Board of Directors of Hyperion Therapeutics, Inc. (“Hyperion” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HPTX) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with their attempt to complete a sale of the Company to Horizon Pharma plc (“Horizon”).  Pursuant to the terms of the proposed transaction, Hyperion shareholders are to receive $46.00 for each share of the Company.
