Halper Sadeh LLC is investigating the sale of Priority Technology Holdings, Inc. to an investor group led by Thomas Priore, the company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, for $8.05 per share in cash. The investor rights law firm announced the investigation in a Business Wire release dated October 31, 2026.

Halper Sadeh's Three Questions for the Priority Board

Halper Sadeh said the investigation concerns whether Priority Technology and its board violated federal securities laws or breached fiduciary duties by failing to obtain the best possible price for shareholders, conduct a fair sales process free of conflicts of interest, and disclose all material information shareholders need to evaluate the transaction. The release states that insiders may stand to receive substantial financial benefits not available to ordinary shareholders, and that the proposed transaction may contain terms that could limit superior competing offers.

Priority Technology is the target of the $8.05-a-share cash sale to the Priore-led group. Levi & Korsinsky, LLP notified stockholders on October 9, 2026 and again on October 30, 2026 of its own investigation into the fairness of Priority Technology's acquisition by its largest stockholder, Thomas C. Priore, according to PR Newswire.

"Insiders may stand to receive substantial financial benefits not available to ordinary shareholders," the firm said in the release.

What Halper Sadeh Says Shareholders Can Do
