ESSA STOCK ALERT: HALPER SADEH LLC IS INVESTIGATING WHETHER THE SALE OF ESSA BANCORP, INC. IS FAIR TO SHAREHOLDERS

January 10, 2025.

New York, New York—Halper Sadeh LLC, an investor rights law firm, is investigating whether the sale of ESSA Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: ESSA) to CNB Financial Corporation for 0.8547 shares of CNB common stock for each share of ESSA common stock is fair to ESSA shareholders.

The investigation concerns whether ESSA and its board of directors violated the federal securities laws and/or breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to, among other things: (1) obtain the best possible consideration for ESSA shareholders; (2) determine whether CNB is underpaying for ESSA; and (3) disclose all material information necessary for ESSA shareholders to adequately assess and value the merger consideration.

On behalf of ESSA shareholders, Halper Sadeh LLC may seek increased consideration for shareholders, additional disclosures and information concerning the proposed transaction, or other relief and benefits. We would handle the action on a contingent fee basis, whereby you would not be responsible for out-of-pocket payment of our legal fees or expenses.
