Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of MTGE Investment Corp. (“MTGE”) (NasdaqGS: MTGE) concerning the sale to Annaly Capital Management Inc. (NYSE: NLY). Under the terms of the agreement, MTGE shareholders may elect to receive one of the following options for each share owned: (a) $9.82 in cash and 0.9519 shares of Anally common stock; (b) $19.65 in cash; or (c) 1.9037 shares of Annaly common stock. The consideration is virtually no premium over the 52-week high and lower than at least one analyst’s estimated value of $21.00 per share.

The investigation centers on whether MTGE’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 the stock could be as high as $21.00.
