Wolf Popper LLP Investigates the Proposed Acquisition of SunTrust Banks, Inc. by BB&T Corporation
NEW YORK, Feb. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Wolf Popper LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors in SunTrust Banks, Inc. (NYSE: STI) concerning the proposed acquisition of SunTrust by BB&T Corporation (NYSE: BBT). According to Carl Stine, a partner at Wolf Popper, "The exchange ratio for this transaction is at a low valuation for SunTrust shareholders considering where the stock has been trading and where analysts see it going."
Under the terms of the proposed acquisition, SunTrust shareholders will receive 1.295 BB&T shares for each SunTrust share for a value of $62.85 per share based on BB&T's February 6, 2019 closing stock price of $48.53 per share for a total transaction value of over $28 billion. However, the proposed offer price is below the 52-week average and high stock prices of $66.06 and $74.71 per share, respectively and below the median and high Street price targets of $68.22 and $88.00 per share, respectively.
Wolf Popper is investigating claims on behalf of investors in SunTrust concerning the transaction. SunTrust's shareholders seeking more information about the transaction or Wolf Popper's investigation can contact Mr. Stine at (212) 759-4600 or [email protected].
