NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, has launched an investigation into whether the officers or directors of MPB BHC, Inc.

On December 8, 2021, MPB announced that it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by Alerus in a deal valued at approximately $85.3 million. Pursuant to the merger agreement, MPB shareholders will receive 0.74 shares of Alerus common stock for each share of MPB common stock owned. The deal is scheduled to close in the first quarter of 2022.
Bragar Eagel & Squire is concerned that MPB’s board of directors oversaw an unfair process and ultimately agreed to an inadequate merger agreement. Accordingly, the firm is investigating all relevant aspects of the deal and is committed to securing the best result possible for MPB’s stockholders.
