Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of CapitalSource Inc. ("CapitalSource" or the "Company") (NYSE: CSE) related to the proposed acquisition of the Company by PacWest Bancorp ("PacWest") (NASDAQ: PACW). Under the terms of the transaction, CapitalSource shareholders will receive $2.47 in cash and 0.2837 shares of PacWest common stock in exchange for each share of CapitalSource, valuing the transaction at approximately $2.29 billion.

The investigation concerns whether the CapitalSource Board of Directors violated its fiduciary duties by agreeing to this transaction and whether the proposed consideration adequately values CapitalSource common shares.
