Investigation Launched into PB Bankshares Sale to Norwood Financial

News Summary

Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC is investigating the proposed sale of PB Bankshares, Inc. to Norwood Financial Corp to evaluate the adequacy of the transaction price and the process. Shareholders are given options for compensation, but concerns arise about potential undervaluation. The firm encourages affected shareholders to discuss their rights and options regarding the deal.

NEW ORLEANS – An investigation is underway concerning the proposed sale of PB Bankshares, Inc. to Norwood Financial Corp, as initiated by Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC, a law firm led by former Louisiana Attorney General Charles C. Foti, Jr. The investigation seeks to assess both the adequacy of the transaction price and the process that led to the proposed transaction, specifically focusing on whether PB Bankshares is being undervalued in the deal.

The structure of the proposed transaction enables shareholders of PB Bankshares to choose from two options for compensation: they can either receive 0.7850 shares of Norwood common stock or opt for $19.75 in cash for each share of PB Bankshares they hold. However, it is important to note that this cash and stock option is subject to proration; 80% of the overall transaction consideration is expected to be paid in stock, ensuring that only a fraction will be compensated in cash. This stipulation may impact the shareholder’s decision during the transaction process.

Kahn Swick & Foti’s investigation aims to determine if the offered price adequately reflects the value of PB Bankshares and if the process leading to the sale was conducted properly. Shareholders who feel that their interests may not be fully represented in the transaction or who have concerns about the potential undervaluation of the company are encouraged to reach out to KSF’s Managing Partner, Lewis S. Kahn, for further discussion about their legal rights related to the sale.

Kahn directly through email at lewis.kahn@ksfcounsel.com or call toll-free at 855-768-1857.
