The investigation concerns whether First Bancshares and its board violated the federal securities laws and/or breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to, among other things: (1) obtain the best possible consideration for First Bancshares shareholders; and (2) disclose all material information necessary for First Bancshares shareholders to adequately assess and value the merger consideration. On behalf of First Bancshares shareholders, Halper Sadeh LLP may seek increased consideration for shareholders, additional disclosures and information concerning the proposed transaction, or other relief and benefits.
