Definitive Agreement
On July 26, 2017 the Company announced the execution of a definitive agreement with Puget Sound under which Heritage will acquire Puget Sound in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $126.1 million based on the closing price of Heritage common stock of $27.15 on July 26, 2017. Puget Sound is a business bank headquartered in Bellevue, Washington with one branch location. Under the terms of the agreement, Puget Sound shareholders will receive 1.320 shares of Heritage common stock for each share of Puget Sound common stock, subject to potential adjustment. The value of the consideration will fluctuate until closing based on the value of Heritage's stock price and may be adjusted by a cap and collar in certain circumstances. The definitive agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both Heritage and Puget Sound. The merger is subject to regulatory approvals, approval by Puget Sound shareholders and certain other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2018.
