Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney
Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor,
LLP are investigating the acquisition of Brooklyn Federal Bancorp,
Inc. (“Brooklyn Federal” or “BFSB”) (NASDAQ: BFSB) by Investors
Bancorp, Inc. Under the proposed buyout agreement, Brooklyn Federal
shareholders will receive only $0.80 in cash for each share of
Brooklyn Federal/BFSB held, which is below the share closing price
just one day prior to the buyout announcement.

The definitive acquisition agreement involves an all cash
transaction valued at approximately $10.3 million. The transaction
is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2011.
“We are investigating the fairness of the proposed transaction
to Brooklyn Federal shareholders, whether the shareholders are
being underpaid for their stock, and whether Brooklyn Federal’s
Board of Directors acted in the shareholders’ best interests,” said
shareholder rights attorney Willie Briscoe. In particular, as
recently as June 30, 2011, Brooklyn Federal/BFSB shares closed at
$1.55, and the company’s stock closed at $0.85 per share, well
above the offer price, the day before the buyout announcement.
“Based on this and other factors, we are additionally investigating
whether the transaction undervalues the stock, and our anticipated
lawsuit will seek to obtain the highest share price for all
shareholders,” said Willie Briscoe.

shareholder rights advocacy firm with more than 20 years of
