BALA CYNWYD, PA / ACCESSWIRE / January 4, 2021 / Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Boston Private Financial Holdings, Inc. ("Boston Private" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:BPFH) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of federal and state law in connection with the agreement to be acquired by SVB Financial Group ("SVB") (NASDAQ:SIVB). Under the terms of the agreement, Boston Private shareholders will receive only $2.10 per share in cash and 0.0228 shares of SVB common stock for each Boston Private share they own, which implies a total purchase price of $10.94 per Boston Private share based on SVB's closing stock price of $387.83 on December 31, 2020.
The investigation concerns whether the Boston Private Board breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to conduct a fair process and whether SVB is paying too little for the Company. For example, the deal consideration is well below the 52-week high of $13.08 for Boston Private stock.
