NEW YORK, June 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, has launched an investigation into whether the board members of Garrison Capital Inc.

On June 24, 2020, Garrison Capital announced that it had signed an agreement to be acquired by Portman Ridge. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Garrison Capital’s stockholders will receive $1.50 in cash and a yet to be determined number of Portman Ridge shares, proportional to the net asset value of Garrison Capital at the closing of the merger, for each share of Garrison Capital common stock owned. The deal is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Bragar Eagel & Squire is concerned that Garrison Capital’s board of directors oversaw an unfair process and ultimately agreed to an inadequate deal price. Accordingly, the firm is investigating all relevant aspects of the deal and is committed to securing the best result possible for Garrison Capital’s stockholders.
