As a part of the merger, the Rice and Lissette family (as well as certain affiliates) have agreed to vote shares representing approximately 42% of Utz\u2019 common stock in favor of the transaction.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">After the merger, the Rice and Lissette family group will own 50% of the post-merger company, representing an approximate 8% gain in their collective ownership. Public shareholders, who are being asked to vote to approve the transaction, have not had the same opportunity to roll their shares into the post-merger entity.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">BFA is investigating whether the negotiation or terms of the merger may represent a breach of fiduciary duty by any of Utz\u2019 directors, or by the Rice and Lissette family as potential controllers of the corporation.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Click here for more information:<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=Uiwk53po4_m8HFZDffw3TQX4Bb3SjEUsFYBBQxp_nK9jDnEL_okFK2AxtEcko5HZ4NKB2EHsoNBCjeR7ZY2z6nxN7_euH8cuHNS_O_uUQJy6ep0zSvmq7hx4xhrNpzClQEBIR6lwQ6SKApmfgse2KIqRYIABAq22HJZ7eKrY-l1VuxJoMNX3ELg5_-K-KTQk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n          <strong>https:\/\/www.bfalaw.com\/cases\/utz-brands-investigation<\/strong><br \/>\n        <\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>What Can You Do?<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">If you are a current holder of Utz stock, you may have legal options and are encouraged to submit your information to the firm.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">All representation is on a contingency fee basis; there is no cost to you.
