(New York, N.Y., November 7, 2014) - Day Pitney LLP represented Hudson Valley Holding Corp. in a merger deal with Sterling Bancorp valued at $539 million.

Attorneys leading the transaction for Day Pitney are Corporate and Business Law partners Ronald H. Janis and Michael T. Rave.

The merger agreement calls for a fixed exchange ratio of 1.92 shares of Sterling Bancorp common stock for each share of Hudson Valley Holding Corp. common stock. The merger consideration represents an 18.4% premium to Hudson Valley Holding's share price as of the close of business on November 4, 2014. Upon closing, Sterling Bancorp stockholders will own approximately 69% of the stock of the combined company and Hudson Valley Holding Corp. stockholders will own approximately 31%.

Additional attorneys supporting the merger include counsel Richard Leu and associates Jennifer Genovesi Bassett and Elizabeth S. Kim, who provided counsel for the deal, as well as partners David P.
