  Commission Legal Brief: Gryl v. Shire Pharmaceuticals Group / June 21, 2002
The plaintiffs allege that defendants acquired options in Shire Pharmaceuticals Group PLC ("Shire") while the defendants were directors of Shire and then exercised some of their options and sold the resultingShire stock within six months of acquiring the options.
The plaintiffs further contend that the Shire Board's approval was deficient in that it did not state that it was for the purpose of exempting the transactions from Section 16(b).
Most notably, the plaintiffs point to a Shire board resolution from six weeks before the merger became effective, which states that "conditional upon completion of the Merger and admission of the Consideration Shares to the Official List, [the defendants] are hereby appointed as non-executive directors of the Company" (A785).

In the new study, patients with a clearly normal CT or nuclear scan were allowed to go home immediately, and those with a clearly abnormal scan were sent to the cardiac catheterization laboratory for further, invasive testing.
In the CT group, patients with uncertain test results -- either because the images were not clear, or because there was only a moderate amount of disease in the coronary arteries -- also had a nuclear scan to help determine whether invasive testing would be needed.
