SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Notifies Investors of Class Action Against Cardinal Financial Corporation (CFNL) and Lead Plaintiff Deadline: March 6, 2017

NEW YORK, Jan. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Cardinal Financial Corporation ("Cardinal" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: CFNL) and certain of its officers, and is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased Cardinal securities. Such investors are advised to join this case by visiting the firm's site: http://www.bgandg.com/cfnl

The complaint alleged violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 14a-9 in regards to the proposed acquisition of the publicly owned shares of Cardinal common stock by United Bankshares, Inc. ("United"), through its wholly owned subsidiary, UBV Holding Company, LLC. 

On August 18, 2016, Cardinal and United announced that the two companies had entered a definitive agreement under which United will acquire all of the outstanding Cardinal shares for 0.71 United shares for every 1 Cardinal share. By January 5, 2017, the per share consideration for Cardinal shareholders had an implied value of approximately $27.69 and the aggregate consideration was worth close to $912 million. The complaint alleges that the planned consideration is insufficient for Cardinal stock's true value and its growth forecasts. The complaint also alleges that the United's Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on December 9, 2016 provides materially incomplete and misleading information about its Company and the proposed contract, in violation of the Exchange Act.
