NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Halper Sadeh LLC, an investor rights law firm, is investigating whether the sale of Heartland Financial, USA Inc. (NASDAQ: HTLF) to UMB Financial Corporation for 0.55 shares of UMB common stock for each share of Heartland common stock is fair to Heartland shareholders. Upon completion of the proposed transaction, former Heartland stockholders are expected to collectively represent approximately 31% of the combined company.

The investigation concerns whether Heartland and its board of directors 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 Heartland shareholders; (2) determine whether UMB is underpaying for Heartland; and (3) disclose all material information necessary for Heartland shareholders to adequately assess and value the merger consideration.
On behalf of Heartland shareholders, Halper Sadeh LLC may seek increased consideration for shareholders, additional disclosures and information concerning the proposed transaction, or other relief and benefits. We would handle the action on a contingent fee basis, whereby you would not be responsible for out-of-pocket payment of our legal fees or expenses.
