San Diego, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/01/2014 --An investor, who currently holds shares of Medical Action Industries (NASDAQ:MDCI) filed a lawsuit in effort to halt the takeover of Medical Action Industries by Owens & Minor, Inc for $13.80 per share.

Investors who purchased shares of Medical Action Industries (NASDAQ:MDCI) and currently hold any of those NASDAQ:MDCI shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation at mail@shareholdersfoundation.com or call +1(858) 779 - 1554.

The plaintiff alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ:MDCI stockholders by agreeing to sell Medical Action Industries too cheaply via an unfair process to Owens & Minor, Inc.

On June 25, 2014 Owens & Minor, Inc. (NYSE:OMI) and Medical Action Industries Inc.

However, the plaintiff claims that the offer is too low and undervalues Medical Action Industries. Indeed, Medical Action Industries reported that its Total Revenue rose from $284.76 million for the 12 months period that ended on March 31, 2013 to $287.85 million for the 12 months period that ended on March 31, 2014 and that its Net Loss of $54.86 million for the 12 months period that ended on March 31, 2013 turned into a Net Income of $4.19 million for the 12 months period that ended on March 31, 2014. Shares of Medical Action Industries (NASDAQ:MDCI) traded during 2013 as high as $9.88 per share.

On June 27, 2014, NASDAQ:MDCI shares closed at $13.80 per share.
