Territorial Bancorp Merger With Hope Bancorp Contested by Yakira Capital and Competing Blue Hill Advisors Offer
October 10, 2024
Territorial Bancorp is pursuing a pending merger with Hope Bancorp, but Yakira Capital Management—an approximately 1.23% shareholder—urged Territorial’s board to reconsider and engage with a competing acquisition proposal from an investor consortium led by Blue Hill Advisors. Yakira argues Blue Hill’s proposal offers higher value (up to $12.50 per share, ~25% above the Hope deal) and is potentially more likely to close.
