SHAREHOLDER NOTICE: Brodsky & Smith Announces an Investigation of Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq – PNBK)

BALA CYNWYD – December 2, 2021 /Access Wire/ – Law office of Brodsky & Smith announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. (“Patriot” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq – PNBK) for possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of federal and state law in connection with the agreement to acquire American Challenger Development Corp. (“American Challenger”) via a reverse subsidiary merger. Under the terms of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger, American Challenger common stockholders will receive shares of Patriot National common stock as consideration and American Challenger preferred stockholders will receive cash. Following completion of the merger, former American Challenger shareholders will collectively own approximately 13.8% of the combined company, and existing Patriot National shareholders will only own approximately 8.2% of the combined company.
