The investigation concerns whether Select Bancorp and its board of directors 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 Select Bancorp shareholders; (2) determine whether First Bancorp is underpaying for Select Bancorp; and (3) disclose all material information necessary for Select Bancorp shareholders to adequately assess and value the merger consideration. On behalf of Select Bancorp shareholders, Halper Sadeh LLP may seek increased consideration for shareholders, additional disclosures and information concerning the proposed transaction, or other relief and benefits.
