The law firm Finkelstein Thompson LLP is investigating potential
claims on behalf of shareholders of Newport Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:
NFSB) (“Newport” or “the Company”), concerning the proposed
acquisition of the Company by SI Financial Group, Inc. Under the
terms of the transaction, shareholders would receive $17.55 per
share in cash or 1.5129 shares of SI Financial Group common stock
for every Newport share they own, subject to proration procedures
so that 50 percent of the outstanding shares of Company common
stock is converted into SI Financial common stock and the balance
is converted into the cash consideration. The total value of the
transaction is approximately $61.3 million.
The investigation is focused on the potential unfairness of the
consideration to shareholders, the process by which the Company’s
Board of Directors considered the transaction, as well as potential
conflicts of interest among Newport's Board members.
