SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz LLP Investigates Claims That the Merger May Not Be in the Best Interest of Investors of First Southern Bankcorp, Inc. - FSOF
NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Southern Bankcorp, Inc. ("Southern Bankcorp" or the "Company") (OTC US: FSOF) (ISIN: US33644N1028) (CUSIP: 33644N102) concerning the proposed acquisition of Southern Bankcorp by CenterState Banks.
The investigation concerns whether the Southern Bankcorp directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and maximize shareholder value. Under the terms of the agreement, each share of Southern Bankcorp will be converted into the right to receive 0.30 share of CenterState Banks and $3.00 in cash. However, the offer price is 96% of the Company's tangible book value, according to an analyst. Additionally, synergies might not be fully reflected in the offer price.
Southern Bankcorp shareholders seeking more information about this acquisition are advised to contact Robert Willoughby at [email protected] or 212-661-1100 or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
