Halper Sadeh LLC, a prominent investor rights law firm, has initiated investigations into BankFinancial Corporation (NASDAQ: BFIN) and Monroe Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: MRCC) for potential violations of federal securities laws and breaches of fiduciary duties to shareholders.

BankFinancial Corporation Sale to First Financial Bancorp

The investigation focuses on BankFinancial's sale to First Financial Bancorp. Under the terms of the agreement, each outstanding share of BankFinancial common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.48 of a share of First Financial common stock, valuing the transaction at approximately $142 million [4]. Halper Sadeh LLC is examining whether the shareholders of BankFinancial received fair consideration for the sale. The law firm may seek increased consideration, additional disclosures, or other relief on behalf of shareholders.

Monroe Capital Corporation Merger with Horizon Technology Finance Corporation

Halper Sadeh LLC is also investigating the merger of Monroe Capital Corporation with Horizon Technology Finance Corporation. The investigation concerns whether the merger is fair to Monroe shareholders. The law firm is evaluating whether the merger violates federal securities laws and whether the board of Monroe Capital Corporation breached its fiduciary duties by failing to obtain the best possible consideration for shareholders or disclose all material information necessary for shareholders to assess the merger consideration [2].

Shareholder Rights and Options

Shareholders of both BankFinancial and Monroe Capital are encouraged to contact Halper Sadeh LLC to discuss their legal rights and options. The law firm will handle the action on a contingent fee basis, meaning shareholders will not be responsible for out-of-pocket payment of legal fees or expenses [1, 2, 3]. Halper Sadeh LLC has a proven track record of recovering millions of dollars on behalf of defrauded investors and implementing corporate reforms.
