BANK OF KENTUCKY FINANCIAL CORP INVESTOR ALERT BY THE FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL OF LOUISIANA: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Investigates Adequacy of Price and Process in Proposed Sale of The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporation

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Attorney General of Louisiana Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq. and the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF") are investigating the proposed sale of The Bank of Kentucky Financial Corporation ("BKYF" or the "Company") BKYF to BB&T Corporation ("BBT") BBT.  Under the terms of the proposed transaction, shareholders of BKYF will receive only $9.40 in cash and 1.0126 shares of BBT common stock for each share of BKYF common stock that they own.  Based on BBT's 14-day average closing price of $37.13 as of September 4, 2014, shareholders of BKYF will receive only $47.00 per share. KSF is seeking to determine whether this consideration and the process that led to it are adequate, or whether the consideration undervalues the Company.

If you believe that this transaction undervalues the Company and/or if you would like to discuss your legal rights regarding the proposed sale, you may, without obligation or cost to you, e-mail or call KSF Managing Partner Lewis S. Kahn (lewis.kahn@ksfcounsel.com) or associate Michael J. Palestina (michael.palestina@ksfcounsel.com) toll free at any time at 855-768-1857.
