PEOPLES BANCORP INVESTOR ALERT BY THE FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL OF LOUISIANA: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Investigates Adequacy of Price and Process in Proposed Sale of Peoples Bancorp
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Attorney General of Louisiana Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq. and the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF") are investigating the proposed sale of Peoples Bancorp ("Peoples" or the "Company") (OTCPINK: PBNI) to Horizon Bancorp (NASDAQ: HBNC). Under the terms of the proposed transaction, shareholders of Peoples will receive only $9.75 in cash and 0.95 shares of Horizon stock for each share of Peoples common stock that they own. Based on the February 18, 2015, closing price of $23.02 per share of Horizon common stock, this implies a price per share of Peoples stock of approximately $31.62 per share, and the transaction has an implied valuation of approximately $73.1 million. KSF is seeking to determine whether this consideration and the process that led to it are adequate, or whether the consideration undervalues the Company.
If you believe that this transaction undervalues the Company and/or if you would like to discuss your legal rights regarding the proposed sale, you may, without obligation or cost to you, e-mail or call KSF Managing Partner Lewis S. Kahn ([email protected]) or partner Michael J. Palestina ([email protected]) toll free at any time at 855-768-1857.
