Former Attorney General of Louisiana Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq. and the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”) are investigating the proposed merger of German American Bancorp, Inc. (NasdaqGS: GABC) (the “Company”) and Heartland BancCorp (OTC: HLAN). Under the terms of the proposed transaction, German American would issue approximately 7.66 million shares of its common stock, based on the number of Heartland common shares expected to be outstanding at closing. KSF is seeking to determine whether the merger and the process that led to it are adequate, or whether the merger is fair to German American shareholders.
