NEW YORK, Dec. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi &
Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities firm headquartered in
New York City, is investigating
the Board of Directors of Pulaski Financial Corp. ("Pulaski" or the "Company") (NasdaqGS: PULB)
for potential breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with the
sale of the Company to First Busey Corporation for approximately
$211 million.
The Company's stockholders will only receive 0.79 shares of
common stock of First Busey for each share of Company common stock,
or $17.24 per share. However, the
offer provides virtually zero premium and Pulaski stock traded at $17.25, above the merger consideration, on
December 2, 2015.

The investigation focuses on whether Company's Board of
Directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company's
stockholders by failing to conduct a fair sales process and whether
and by how much this proposed transaction undervalues the Company
to the detriment of Company's shareholders.
