(JCAP) Alert: Johnson Fistel Investigates Proposed Sale of Jernigan Capital; Is $17.30 a Fair Price?

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Johnson Fistel, LLP has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Jernigan Capital, Inc. ("Jernigan Capital" or the "Company") JCAP breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed sale of the Company to NexPoint Advisors, L.P. ("NexPoint"). 

On August 3, 2020, Jernigan Capital announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with NexPoint. Under the terms of the deal, Jernigan Capital shareholders will receive $17.30 for each share of Jernigan Capital they own.

The investigation concerns whether the Jernigan Capital board failed to satisfy its duties to the Company shareholders, including whether the board adequately pursued alternatives to the acquisition and whether the board obtained the best price possible for Jernigan Capital shares of common stock. Nationally recognized Johnson Fistel is investigating whether the proposed deal represents adequate consideration, especially given one Wall Street analyst has a $20.00 price target on the stock. The 52-week high for Jernigan Capital was $20.66.

If you are a shareholder of Jernigan Capital and believe the proposed buyout price is too low or you're interested in learning more about the investigation, please contact lead analyst Jim Baker (jimb@johnsonfistel.com) at 619-814-4471. If emailing, please include a phone number.
