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 1st United Bancorp (“1st United”)
(NasdaqGS: FUBC) related to the proposed sale to Valley National Bancorp
for shareholders. Under the terms of the transaction, valued at
approximately $312 million, 1st United shareholders will only
receive 0.89 of a share of Valley National Bancorp for each 1st
United share owned. However, this consideration is dependent on Valley
National Bancorp’s average stock price staying between $8.09 and $12.13
prior to closing.
