Colony Bankcorp, listed on the NYSE as CBAN, is under scrutiny for its merger with TC Bancshares. Halper Sadeh LLC is investigating potential violations of federal securities laws and breaches of fiduciary duties to shareholders [1].
HanesBrands, listed on the NYSE as HBI, is the subject of an investigation into its sale to Gildan Activewear. The transaction involves a complex deal where HanesBrands shareholders receive 0.102 shares of Gildan and $0.80 in cash for each share of HanesBrands common stock. Halper Sadeh LLC is looking into potential issues related to this deal [1].
NorthWestern Energy Group, listed on the NASDAQ as NWE, is being investigated for its sale to Black Hills Corp. Upon completion, NorthWestern shareholders will own approximately 44% of the combined company. The firm is assessing the transaction for potential shareholder concerns [1].
Mural Oncology, listed on the NASDAQ as MURA, is being examined for its sale to XOMA Royalty Corporation. The deal involves a price of $2.035 per share, with the potential for an additional $0.205 per share under certain conditions.

The firm operates on a contingent fee basis, meaning shareholders will not be responsible for out-of-pocket payment of legal fees or expenses. Shareholders are encouraged to contact the firm free of charge to discuss their legal rights and options [1].
These investigations come amidst a surge in M&A activity in the U.S. footwear and apparel sectors, driven by tariffs and geopolitical uncertainties. For instance, Skechers went private in a $9.42 billion deal, while Foot Locker accelerated its sale to Dick's Sporting Goods. The total value of deals announced year-to-date is approximately $21 billion, setting a new record [2].
These investigations highlight the importance of vigilant oversight in M&A transactions to protect shareholder interests.
