May 10 2010 - 6:53PM
Business Wire
Levi & Korsinsky is investigating the Board of Directors of
Atlantic BancGroup Inc. (“Atlantic BancGroup” or the “Company”)
(NasdaqCM: ATBC) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other
violations of state law in connection with their attempt to sell
the Company to Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. ("Jacksonville Bancorp")
(NasdaqGM: JAXB). Under the terms of the transaction, Atlantic
BancGroup shareholders will receive 0.2 shares of Jacksonville
Bancorp common stock for each share of Atlantic BancGroup common
stock they own, which equates to approximately $1.89 per share,
based on the prior closing price of $9.49 for Jacksonville Bancorp
stock. In addition, Atlantic BancGroup shareholders may also
receive up to approximately $0.65 per share in cash, subject to the
qualifying sale of certain Atlantic BancGroup assets.
The investigation concerns whether the Atlantic BancGroup Board
of Directors breached their fiduciary duties to Atlantic BancGroup
stockholders by failing to adequately shop the Company before
entering into this transaction and whether Jacksonville Bancorp is
underpaying for Atlantic BancGroup shares, thus unlawfully harming
Atlantic BancGroup stockholders. In particular, the Company has
more than $23.00 per share in cash and a book value of $7.76 per
share.
