NEW YORK, July 29, 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 Investors Bancorp, Inc.

On July 28, 2021, Investors announced that it had entered into an agreement to merge with Citizens in a deal valued at approximately $3.5 billion. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Investors stockholders will receive 0.297 shares of Citizens common stock and $1.46 in cash for each share of Investors common stock owned. The deal is scheduled to close in either the first or second quarter of 2022.
Bragar Eagel & Squire is concerned that Investors’ 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 Investors’ stockholders.
