Under the terms of the transaction, SWS shareholders will
receive only $7.00 per share
comprised of 50% in cash and 50% Hilltop stock for each share of
SWS stock they own. The investigation concerns possible breaches of
fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of
Directors of SWS for not acting in the Company's shareholders' best
interests in connection with the sale process. The transaction may
undervalue the Company and the investigation seeks to determine if
conflicts of interest played a role in the transaction. Hilltop
currently owns approximately 24% of SWS common stock and Hilltop's
Chairman is a member of the SWS board of directors.
If you own shares of SWS common stock and wish to discuss the
legal ramifications of the proposed transaction, or have any
