BALA CYNWYD, Pa.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it
is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Hampshire First Bank (“HFB” or the “Company”)
(OTCBB: HFBN) relating to the proposed acquisition by a subsidiary of NBT Bancorp, Inc. (“NBT”).

Under the terms of the transaction, 65% of the outstanding shares of HFB common stock will be converted into a
right to receive 0.7019 of a share of NBT common stock. The remaining 35% of outstanding shares of HFB
common stock will be exchanged for $15.00 in cash. The transaction values HFB stock at approximately $15.00

process to NBT.
