DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp. (“Silver Bay”) (NYSE: SBY) concerning the acquisition by Tricon Capital Group Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, valued at approximately $1.4 billion, Silver Bay shareholders will only receive $21.50 per share owned. The consideration is lower than at least one analyst’s estimated value of $22.00.

The investigation centers on whether Silver Bay’s Board of Directors is acting in the shareholders’ best interests, whether the board considered alternatives to the acquisition, and whether the board has employed an adequate process to review and act on the proposed transaction. Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance believes the true inherent value of Silver Bay could be as high as $22.00 per share.
