NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 3, 2026--

Halper Sadeh LLC, an investor rights law firm, is investigating whether the sale of Webster Financial Corporation (NYSE: WBS) to Banco Santander, S.A. for $48.75 in cash and 2.0548 Santander American Depository Shares for each Webster common share is fair to Webster shareholders.

Halper Sadeh encourages Webster shareholders to click here to learn more about their legal rights and options or contact Daniel Sadeh or Zachary Halper at (212) 763-0060 or [email protected] or [email protected].

The investigation concerns whether Webster and its board of directors violated the federal securities laws and/or breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by failing to, among other things: (1) obtain the best possible consideration for Webster shareholders; (2) determine whether Santander is underpaying for Webster; and (3) disclose all material information necessary for Webster shareholders to adequately assess and value the merger consideration.

On behalf of Webster shareholders, Halper Sadeh LLC may seek increased consideration for shareholders, additional disclosures and information concerning the proposed transaction, or other relief and benefits. We would handle the action on a contingent fee basis, whereby you would not be responsible for out-of-pocket payment of our legal fees or expenses.
