NEW ORLEANS, April 2, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Former Attorney General of Louisiana Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq. and the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC ("KSF") are investigating the proposed sale of SWS Group, Inc. ("SWS" or the "Company") to Hilltop Holdings Inc. ("Hilltop"). Under the terms of the proposed transaction, shareholders of SWS will receive only 0.2496 shares of Hilltop and $1.94 in cash (equating to $7.88 per share based on Hilltop's closing price on March 31, 2014) for each share of SWS common stock that they own. KSF is seeking to determine whether this consideration and the process that led to it are adequate, or whether the consideration undervalues the Company.
