BALA CYNWYD, Pa.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Smithtown Bancorp, Inc., (aSmithtowna or the aCompanya) (Nasdaq:SMTB) relating to the proposed acquisition by Peoplea™s United Financial, Inc. (aPeoplea™s Uniteda).

Under the terms of the offer, Smithtown shareholders would receive cash of $2.00 and 0.1430 Peoplea™s United stock for each share of Smithtown stock they own. The transaction values Smithtown stock at approximately $4.00 per share. The investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law. The transaction appears to be unfair, in part, given that Smithtown stock was trading at $4.01 a share as recently as July 12, 2010 and was trading at $5.51 a share on April 26, 2010.
