Former Attorney General of Louisiana Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq. and the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”) are investigating the proposed sale of United American Bank (“UAB” or the “Company”) (OTC: UABK) to Heritage Commerce Corp. (“Heritage”) (NasdaqGS: HTBK). Under the terms of the proposed transaction, shareholders of UAB will receive only 2.1644 shares of Heritage common stock for each share of UAB that they own. KSF is seeking to determine whether this consideration and the process that led to it are adequate, or whether the consideration undervalues the Company.

If you believe that this transaction undervalues the Company and/or if you would like to discuss your legal rights regarding the proposed sale, you may, without obligation or cost to you, e-mail or call KSF Managing Partner Lewis S. Kahn (lewis.kahn@ksfcounsel.com) toll free at any time at 855-768-1857.
