DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor LLP are investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Your Community Bankshares, Inc. ("YCB") YCB concerning the acquisition by WesBanco, Inc. WSBC. Under the terms of the agreement, valued at approximately $221 million, YCB shareholders will only receive $7.70 in cash and 0.964 shares of WSBC per YCB share owned. The consideration is valued at approximately $39.05, which is virtually no premium over the closing price before the deal was announced.
