SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brodsky & Smith, LLC Announces Investigation of SWS Group, Inc. Board of Directors


BALA CYNWYD, Pa. --(Business Wire)--

Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of SWS Group, Inc. ("SWS" or the "Company") (NYSE: SWS) relating to the proposed acquisition by Hilltop Holdings, Inc. ("Hilltop").

Under the terms of the transaction, SWS shareholders will receive only $1.94 in cash and 0.2496 shares of Hilltop common stock, for each share of SWS stock they own. The transaction values SWS stock at approximately $7.88 per share. The investigation concerns possile breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of SWS for not acting in the Company's shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process as Hilltop beneficially owns 24% of SWS common stock and it has been reported that the Company had recently received an $8.00 bid that was rejected.
