M&A Class Action Firm Continues to Investigate Major Transactions for Shareholder Rights

M&A Class Action Firm's Ongoing Investigations into Multiple Mergers

In an era of rapid corporate mergers and acquisitions, shareholder rights often hang in the balance. Monteverde & Associates, a leading class action firm based in New York's Empire State Building, is stepping up investigations into several high-profile merger transactions. The firm, led by notable class action attorney Juan Monteverde, has a reputation for recovering substantial funds for shareholders and a proven track record that includes a place among the Top 50 firms in the 2024 ISS Securities Class Action Services Report.

The firm's current focus includes investigations into four significant mergers involving Ventyx Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: VTYX), Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (NYSE: ALEX), Ryvyl Inc. (NASDAQ: RVYL), and First Foundation Inc. (NYSE: FFWM). Each of these transactions poses concerns for shareholders that Monteverde & Associates is determined to address.

Ventyx Biosciences, Inc. and Eli Lilly and Company

Ventyx is set to be acquired by Eli Lilly under terms that propose cash transactions of $14.00 per share for Ventyx shareholders. The deal has raised attention due to potential implications on shareholder value amidst the ongoing transitions in biotech acquisitions. Shareholders who own stock in Ventyx are encouraged to act promptly to ensure their rights are protected. More details on this investigation can be found here.

Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. Merger

In another vital investigation, Alexander & Baldwin is poised for acquisition by MW Group and financial affiliates such as Blackrock Real Estate and DivcoWest. The proposed cash payout of $21.20 per share has prompted scrutiny regarding whether this offer adequately reflects the company's value. The deadline for shareholder voting on this matter is March 9, 2026, pushing those involved to consider moving quickly to secure their interests. More information is available here.

Ryvyl Inc. and RTB Digital, Inc. Transaction

Ryvyl Inc. is undergoing a merger with RTB Digital, where various classes of RTB stock are set to be converted into Ryvyl common shares, based on a calculated exchange ratio. This transaction may yield significant changes to shareholder equity, necessitating vigilance and prompt action by existing shareholders. Full details on this situation can be accessed here.

First Foundation Inc. and FirstSun Capital Bancorp

Finally, First Foundation's proposed merger with FirstSun Capital Bancorp requires close inspection, as shareholders will receive approximately 0.16083 shares of FirstSun's stock for each share of First Foundation common stock held. Given the complex nature of stock exchanges during mergers, participation in the upcoming shareholder vote scheduled for February 27, 2026, is imperative for First Foundation investors.
