DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Capital Bank Financial Corp. (“Capital Bank”) (NasdaqGS: CBF) concerning the sale to First Horizon National Corp. (NYSE: FHN). Under the terms of the agreement, Capital Bank shareholders will receive cash or stock with a value equivalent to 1.750 First Horizon shares and $7.90 in cash for each Capital Bank share held. The consideration is valued at approximately $40.83 per share, which is no premium over the 52-week high and lower than at least one analyst’s estimated value of $50.00 per share.
