DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / October 16, 2018 / Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of MBT Financial Corp. (“MBT”) (NasdaqGS: MBTF) concerning the acquisition by First Merchants Corporation (NASDAQ: FRME). Under the terms of the agreement, MBT shareholders will only receive 0.275 shares of First Merchants stock per MBT share owned. The consideration is virtually no premium over the 52-week high and lower than at least one analyst’s estimated value of $14.50 per share

There is no cost or fee to you.
The investigation centers on whether MBT’s Board of Directors is acting in the shareholders’ best interests, whether the board considered alternatives to the acquisition, and whether the board has employed an adequate process to review and act on the proposed transaction. Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance believes the true inherent value of MBT could be as high as $14.50 per share.
