The Briscoe Law Firm and Powers Taylor, LLP Announce Investigation of American Medical Alert Corp.

Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating the acquisition of American Medical Alert Corp. (“American Medical” or “AMAC”) (NASDAQ: AMAC) by Tunstall Healthcare Group Limited for American Medical shareholders. Under the proposed buyout, American Medical shareholders will receive only $8.55 in cash for each share of American Medical/AMAC stock owned.

There is no cost or fee to you.

The definitive acquisition agreement involves an all cash transaction valued at approximately $82.3 million. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2011.

“We are investigating the fairness of the proposed transaction to American Medical shareholders, whether the shareholders are being underpaid for their stock, and whether American Medical’s Board of Directors acted in the shareholders’ best interest,” said shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe. In particular, although the acquisition price represents a reported premium of 50% over American Medical’s closing price the day before the acquisition announcement, as recently as September 20, 2011, American Medical shares traded as high as $6.20 per share. “Based on these and other factors, we are concerned the transaction undervalues the inherent value of American Medical stock and that Tunstall Healthcare may be underpaying the shareholders. Our anticipated lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders,” said Willie Briscoe.
