We are investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the board of directors of Suncrest Bank (“Suncrest” or the “Company”) (OTCQX: SBKK) in connection with the proposed cash-and-stock acquisition of the Company by CVB Financial Corp. (“CVB”) (NASDAQ: CVBF). Under the terms of the merger agreement, Suncrest shareholders will receive $2.69 in cash and 0.6970 shares of CVB stock for each Suncrest share they own, representing implied per-share merger consideration of approximately $16.09 based upon CVB’s July 27, 2021 closing price of $19.23.
WeissLaw LLP is investigating whether: (i) Suncrest’s board of directors acted in the best interests of Company shareholders in agreeing to the proposed transaction, (ii) the per-share merger consideration adequately compensates Suncrest’s shareholders, and (iii) all information regarding the sales process and valuation of the transaction will be fully and fairly disclosed.

We have recovered over a billion dollars for defrauded clients and obtained important corporate governance relief in many of these cases.
