Halper Sadeh LLC Encourages Shareholders of WTRG, MBCN, WAT to Explore Their Rights

Halper Sadeh LLC, a law firm specialized in investor rights, is actively reaching out to shareholders of Essential Utilities, Inc. (traded under NYSE WTRG), Middlefield Banc Corp. (listed as NASDAQ MBCN), and Waters Corporation (symbol NYSE WAT) regarding potential legal violations and breaches of fiduciary duties by these companies.

Investigative Focus

The firm is currently investigating transactions involving these companies that might have violated federal securities laws. The essence of their inquiry revolves around potential inadequate disclosures and other factors that could affect shareholder rights and monetary returns in the following transactions:

1. Essential Utilities, Inc. and American Water Works Company, Inc.
Essential Utilities is set to be sold to American Water for 0.305 shares of American Water for each share of Essential. Shareholders need to be aware of how this transaction impacts their current holdings and if they are receiving fair value.

2. Middlefield Banc Corp. and Farmers National Banc Corp.
Middlefield Banc Corp. is transitioning to Farmers National Banc, offering 2.6 shares of Farmers common stock for each share of Middlefield. This deal has raised questions regarding adequate shareholder compensation and transparency, necessitating an exploration of possible legal recourse.

3. Waters Corporation's Merger with BD
Waters Corporation is involved in a significant merger with BD’s Biosciences Diagnostic Solutions business. After completion, Waters shareholders are projected to hold approximately 60.8% in the new entity. Such a merger raises numerous questions around shareholder advantages and rights, leading to a call for proactive discussions on safeguarding these interests.
