The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain officers and directors of Steuben Trust Corporation breached their fiduciary duties owed to OTC: SBHO investors in connection with the proposed acquisition.

Hornell, NY based Steuben Trust Corporation operates as a bank holding company for Steuben Trust Company which offers financial and banking services to individuals and businesses primarily in Steuben, Allegany, Livingston, Monroe and Wyoming counties in New York State. On October 21, 2019, Community Bank System, Inc. (NYSE: CBU) and Steuben Trust Corporation (OTC Pink: SBHO) announced that they have entered into an agreement pursuant to which Community Bank System will acquire Steuben Trust Corporation, parent company of Steuben Trust Company, in a stock and cash transaction representing total consideration valued at approximately $106.8 million. Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of Steuben Trust Corporation will receive, for each share of common stock they own, a combination of $12.60 cash and 0.8054 shares of Community Bank System common stock, for total consideration valued at approximately $63.00 per share (based on Community Bank System’s volume weighted average price of $62.58 for the thirty trading day period ending October 15, 2019).

However, given that OTC: SBHO shares rose after the takeover announcement to $66.00 per share in the open market, the
investigation concerns whether the offer is unfair to Steuben Trust Corporation (OTC: SBHO stockholders.

On November 5, 2019, OTC: SBHO shares closed on $66.01 per share.
