June 21, 2013 (Shareholders Foundation) - An investigation on behalf of investors in Centerline Holding Co (OTCMKTS:CLNH) shares was announced concerning whether the offer by an affiliate of Hunt Companies, Inc.to acquire Centerline Holding Co for $39.89 per OTCMKTS:CLNH share and the takeover process are unfair to investors in OTCMKTS:CLNH shares.
