Milberg LLP Announces Investigation of Board of Directors' Decision to Sell Resource America, Inc. to C-III Capital Partners LLC

NEW YORK, May 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Milberg LLP is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law in connection with the proposed acquisition of Resource America, Inc. (NASDAQ: REXI) ("Resource America") by C-III Capital Partners LLC ("C-III").

On May 23, 2016, Resource America announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by C-III in a transaction valued at approximately $207 million.  Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of Resource America will receive $9.78 in cash for each share of Resource America.  However, the $9.78 merger consideration is substantially below at least one analyst target price of $11.00 per share.  In addition, Resource America has reportedly exhibited recent strong performance in numerous metrics relative to industry peers. 

Milberg LLP's investigation is focusing on the potential unfairness of the consideration being provided to Resource America's stockholders and the process by which Resource America's Board of Directors considered and approved the proposed deal, particularly when C-III is reportedly retaining Resource America's leadership and management post-merger. 

Concerned investors are invited to contact the Milberg attorneys listed below to discuss the investigation, their rights, and/or potential remedies.
