SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Launches An Investigation Into The Proposed Sale Of MicroFinancial Incorporated And Encourage...

The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of MicroFinancial Incorporated (“MicroFinancial” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MFI) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company.

On December 15, 2014, MicroFinancial announced the signing of a definitive agreement with MF Parent LP (“Parent”) and MF Merger Sub Corp. (“Purchaser”), each an affiliate of funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC, whereby Parent will acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company in a transaction valued at approximately $147 million. Under the terms of the transaction, MicroFinancial shareholders are expected to receive $10.20 in cash for each share of MicroFinancial common stock they own.

The firm’s investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company’s Board of Directors failed to satisfy their duties to shareholders, including whether the Board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the Board obtained the best price possible for the Company’s shares of common stock.
