Vice Chancellor Myron Steele approved a lawsuit settlement that will provide about $44 million to investors who claim they were underpaid when marketing rights to a drug developed for heart patients were sold to Eli Lilly and Co.

However, only $500,000 of the transaction was attributed to the purchase of ReoPro’s marketing rights.
