The law firm of Powers Taylor, LLP is investigating potential legal claims against the Board of Directors of NightHawk Radiology Holdings, Inc. (“NightHawk Radiology”) (NASDAQ: NHWK) related to the proposed acquisition and buyout of NightHawk by Virtual Radiologic Corp.

The definitive acquisition agreement involves an all-cash transaction valued at $170 million under which NightHawk Radiology shareholders will receive $6.50 in cash for each share of NightHawk/NHWK common stock they hold. The acquisition transaction, which was announced on September 27, 2010, is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2011. Although the proposed buyout price represents a 100% premium over NightHawk’s closing price on September 17, 2010, NightHawk shares closed well above the acquisition price in 2009.

The investigation relates to possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of NightHawk Radiology for approving this transaction, whether the consideration to be received by NightHawk Radiology shareholders is fair, and whether NightHawk Radiology’s Board of Directors acted in the shareholders’ best interests.
