On December 18, 2019, SGB announced that it had signed an agreement to merge with The First Bancshares. Per the merger agreement, SGB stockholders will receive 1 share of The First Bancshares common stock for each share of SGB common stock owned. The deal is scheduled to close in the second quarter of 2020.

Bragar Eagel & Squire is concerned that SGB’s board of directors oversaw an unfair process and ultimately agreed to an inadequate deal price. Accordingly, the firm is investigating all relevant aspects of the deal and is committed to securing the best result possible for SGB stockholders.
