NEW YORK, July 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 Howard Bancorp, Inc.

On July 13, 2021, Howard announced that it had entered into an agreement to merge with F.N.B. in a transaction that values Howard at approximately $418 million. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Howard stockholders will receive 1.8 shares of F.N.B. common stock for each share of Howard common stock owned. The deal is scheduled to close in early 2022.
Bragar Eagel & Squire is concerned that Howard’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 Howard’s stockholders.
