The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, founded by a former state prosecutor and enforcement attorney for the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and the securities litigation law firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating potential legal claims against the Board of Directors of Drugstore.com, Inc. (“drugstore.com” or “DSCM”) (NASDAQ: DSCM) related to the proposed buyout of drugstore.com by Walgreen Co. The definitive merger agreement involves an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $409 million. Under the proposed buyout, drugstore.com shareholders will receive only $3.80 in cash for each share of drugstore.com/DSCM common stock they hold. The transaction is expected to close in June 2011.

The investigation relates to the fairness of the proposed transaction to drugstore.com shareholders, possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of drugstore.com for approving this transaction, and whether drugstore.com’s Board of Directors acted in the shareholders’ best interests. In addition, the firms seek to determine through their investigation whether drugstore.com’s Board of Directors obtained the best value for shareholders, adequately considered all viable alternatives, and properly shopped the company before entering into the acquisition agreement with Walgreen Co.

As recently as May 2010, drugstore.com shares closed above $3.90 per share. Based on this and other factors, the firms do not believe that the acquisition price is fair to drugstore.com/DSCM shareholders.
