DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor LLP are investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of VantageSouth Bancshares, Inc. (“VantageSouth”) (NYSE: VSB) related to the merger with Yadkin Financial Corporation for shareholders. Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, valued at approximately $299 million, VantageSouth shareholders will only receive 0.3125 shares of Yadkin Financial for each share of VSB stock owned.
If you are an affected investor, and you want to learn more about the lawsuit or join the action, contact Willie Briscoe at The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC, (214) 239-4568, or via email at WBriscoe@TheBriscoeLawFirm.com, or Zach Groover at Powers Taylor LLP, toll free (877) 728-9607, via e-mail at shareholder@powerstaylor.com. There is no cost or fee to you.
The VantageSouth investigation centers on whether VantageSouth’s Board of Directors is acting in the shareholders’ best interests, whether the board is properly considering the proposed price for the shareholders, and whether the board has employed an adequate process to review and act on the proposed transaction. Based on Yadkin Financial’s closing price the day prior to the buyout announcement, the implied value to VantageSouth shareholders is only approximately $5.40 per share, which is well below VSB’s 52-week high. In addition, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance estimates that the true inherent value of VantageSouth may be as high as $6.50 a share.
