Under the terms of the transaction, Astoria shareholders will receive only 1.00 shares of New York Community Bancorp and $0.50 in cash for each share of Astoria stock they own. The transaction values Astoria at only approximately $16.47 per share. The investigation concerns whether the Board of Astoria breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders and whether New York Bancorp is underpaying for Astoria. The transaction may undervalue Astoria and will result in a loss for many Astoria shareholders. For example, an analyst has set a price target for Astoria stock at $20.00 per share and Astoria stock has traded at $17.90 per share on October 28, 2015.
