Levetown & Jenkins, LLP Announces an Investigation of the Acquisition of First Franklin Corp. by Cheviot Financial Corporation

Levetown & Jenkins, LLP is conducting an investigation into alleged breaches of fiduciary duties and violations of state law by First Franklin Corporation (“First Franklin”) (NASDAQ:FFHS) and its Board of Directors in conjunction with the proposed buyout and acquisition of First Franklin by Cheviot Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:CHEV). Under the terms of a merger agreement announced on October 13, 2010, First Franklin shareholders will receive $14.50 in cash for each share of First Franklin common stock they hold.

The firm’s investigation concerns whether the proposed acquisition properly values First Franklin. Specifically, the investigation seeks to determine whether the First Franklin Board of Directors engaged in a fair process to obtain adequate consideration for all of the company's shareholders, whether the transaction undervalues the company to the detriment of its shareholders and, if so, the extent to which the company is undervalued in the proposed transaction.
