The Law Offices of Howard G. Smith is investigating whether the Board of Directors of Beverly National Corporation (AMEX: BNV) breached its fiduciary duty to its shareholders in agreeing to sell the Company to Danvers Bancorp, Inc. in a stock for stock deal valued at approximately $23.04 per share.
The Law Offices of Howard G. Smith believes that the deal is suspicious because it appears from a review of the Company's financial statements that the inherent value of the Company's stock is greater than $23.04 per share and also because the deal provides for members of Beverly's Board of Directors to personally profit from the deal by taking cushy new jobs as executives at Danvers.
