BTFG Banctrust Financial Grp., Inc. (MM)

Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor, LLP are investigating the sale of BancTrust Financial Group, Inc. (“BancTrust” or “BTFG”) (NASDAQ: BTFG) to Trustmark Corporation for shareholders. Under the proposed acquisition agreement, BancTrust shareholders will receive only 0.125 shares of Trustmark common stock for each share of BancTrust common stock owned, which is valued at approximately $3.08 per share, which is well below at least one analyst’s estimated target price of $6.00 per share.

There is no cost or fee to you.

The definitive merger agreement is valued at approximately $55.4 million.

The investigation centers on whether BancTrust shareholders are receiving adequate compensation for their shares in the buyout, whether the transaction undervalues BancTrust stock, and whether BancTrust’s board attempted to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders prior to agreeing to the deal. Although the acquisition price represents a premium over the closing price of BancTrust shares the day prior to the buyout announcement, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance has estimated that the true inherent value of the stock is as high as $6.00 per share, well above the proposed price. According to shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe, “Because of the lack of a significant premium to the shareholders, and other factors, we believe that the transaction may undervalue BancTrust stock. Our lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all shareholders.”
