FFFD North Central Bancshares, Inc. (MM)

The law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty to current shareholders of North Central Bancshares, Inc. (“North Central”) (NASDAQ: FFFD) and other violations of state law by the board of directors of North Central relating to the proposed buyout of the company by privately owned Great Western Bancorporation, Inc. (“Great Western”). The firm’s investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the board breached its fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value.

On March 13, 2012, North Central and Great Western entered into an agreement providing for Great Western to acquire North Central. Under the terms of the buyout transaction, North Central shareholders will receive $30.58 in cash for each share of North Central common stock held. While the press release announcing the transaction claims that the merger price represents an approximate premium of 39% over the share closing price on March 12, 2012, North Central recently reported that profit for 2011 increased 53% to $2.6 million as its provision for loan losses fell almost 49%, to $2.1 million.
