Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney
Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor,
LLP are investigating the sale of The Connecticut Bank & Trust
Company (“Connecticut Bank & Trust” or “CTBC”) (NASDAQ: CTBC)
to Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc. for shareholders. Under the
proposed buyout, Connecticut Bank & Trust shareholders will
receive either a fixed-ratio of 0.3810 shares of Berkshire Hills
stock or $8.25 in cash for each share of CTBC stock owned.

The definitive acquisition agreement involves a stock-for-stock
and cash transaction valued at approximately $30 million. Under the
terms of the acquisition, 70% of the outstanding shares of CTBC
will be exchanged for a fixed ratio of 0.3810 shares of Berkshire
Hills stock. Based on Berkshire Hills’ closing price the day before
the acquisition announcement, the value to CTBC shareholders is
only $7.69 per share, which is well below the price that CTBC
shares traded as recently as February 2011. The remaining 30% of
CTBC shares will be exchanged for $8.25 in cash per share.
“Our lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all
shareholders,” said shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe. In
addition, the firms are investigating the fairness of the proposed
transaction to Connecticut Bank & Trust shareholders and
whether Connecticut Bank & Trust’s Board of Directors acted in
the shareholders’ best interest.
