Halper Sadeh LLC, an investor rights law firm, is investigating whether the merger of German American Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: GABC) and Heartland BancCorp is fair to German American shareholders. Based on the number of Heartland common shares expected to be outstanding at closing, German American would issue approximately 7.66 million shares of its common stock in connection with the proposed transaction.

The investigation concerns whether German American and its board violated the federal securities laws and/or breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to, among other things: (1) obtain the best possible consideration for German American shareholders; and (2) disclose all material information necessary for German American shareholders to adequately assess and value the merger consideration.

On behalf of German American shareholders, Halper Sadeh LLC may seek increased consideration for shareholders, additional disclosures and information concerning the proposed transaction, or other relief and benefits. We would handle the action on a contingent fee basis, whereby you would not be responsible for out-of-pocket payment of our legal fees or expenses.
