The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of Lake Sunapee Bank Group breached their fiduciary duties owed to NASDAQ:LSBG investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.
On May 5, 2016, Bar Harbor Bankshares and Lake Sunapee Bank Group announced that they have signed a merger agreement pursuant to which Bar Harbor will acquire Lake Sunapee in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $143 million, or approximately $17.00 per share.
