SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Brower Piven Announces the Investigation of Siuslaw Financial Group, Inc. in Connection with the Proposed Sale of the Company to Banner Corporation

The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Siuslaw Financial Group, Inc. ("Siuslaw" or the "Company") (Other OTC:SFGP) relating to the proposed buyout of the Company by Banner Corporation ("Banner").

Under the terms of the transaction, Siuslaw shareholders will receive $1.41622 in cash plus 0.32231 of a share of Banner common stock for each Siuslaw share they own; this represents a value of approximately $14.03 per share, based on Banner's closing price on August 7, 2014. The firm's investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the Company's Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value before agreeing to enter into the transaction, and whether Banner is underpaying for Siuslaw shares.
