Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that it has commenced an investigation of potential claims against the board of directors of Customers Bancorp, Inc. (“Customers Bancorp” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CUBI) concerning whether the board of directors breached its fiduciary duties to Customers Bancorp shareholders.

On April 12, 2024, Customers Bancorp disclosed that its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Carla Leibold, had been terminated “for ‘cause’ under her employment agreement for violating Company policy.” However, later that month, the Company amended this description to state that her termination “was a separation by mutual agreement” and that Ms. Leibold would be paid $2.5 million in “post-employment compensation.”
