In the transaction, Northfield stockholders will receive either shares of the new holding company or cash, based on an independent valuation. If the valuation is less than $2.3 billion, shareholders will receive either 1.425 shares or $14.25 in cash. If the valuation ranges from $2.3 billion to $2.6 billion, the consideration increases to 1.450 shares or $14.50 in cash. For valuations of $2.6 billion or higher, shareholders will receive 1.465 shares or $14.65 in cash. No more than 30% of outstanding Northfield shares may be converted to cash.
Northfield insiders will receive substantial benefits as part of change of control arrangements.
The transaction agreement unreasonably limits competing transactions for Northfield by imposing a significant penalty if Northfield accepts a competing bid. We are investigating the conduct of the Northfield board of directors, and whether they are fulfilling their fiduciary duties to all shareholders.
