NEW YORK--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Levi & Korsinsky is investigating the Board of Directors of American Community Bancorp, Inc. (aAmerican Communitya or the aCompanya) (OTCBB: ACBP) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law in connection with their attempt to sell the Company to German American Bancorp, Inc.

Under the terms of the transaction, American Community common shareholders will receive 0.725 shares of German American common stock and $2.00 in cash for each share of American Community stock they own. Based upon the closing price of German American's common shares on October 4, 2010 ($16.70), the transaction values American Community stock at approximately $14.11 per share with a total transaction value of approximately $27.9 million.
