NEW YORK, April 12, 2016 -- The following statement is being issued by Levi & Korsinsky, LLP:
To: All persons or entities who purchased shares of FirstMerit Corporation (“FirstMerit”) (NASDAQ:FMER) prior to the January 26, 2016 merger announcement.

On January 26, 2016, FirstMerit announced it had entered a merger agreement wherein Huntington Bancshares, Inc. would acquire all the outstanding shares of FirstMerit for 1.72 shares of Huntington common stock and $5.00 in cash per share of FirstMerit common stock. The complaint alleges that the Board of Directors of FirstMerit breached its fiduciary duties and violated securities laws by undervaluing FirstMerit, entering into deal protection provisions that unreasonably deter third party bidders from offering topping bids, and issuing materially incomplete and misleading information in documents related to the proposed transaction.
If you suffered a loss in FirstMerit you have until June 13, 2016 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
