NOTE

MERGER
 
On
November 16, 2017,
the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with First West Virginia Bancorp, Inc. (“FWVB”), the holding company for Progressive Bank, N.A. (“PB”), a national association. The FWVB merger was completed effective
April 30, 2018,
following the receipt of shareholder and regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. In addition, effective
April 30, 2018,
PB merged into the Bank. The FWVB merger enhanced the Bank’s exposure into the core of the Tri-State region. Through the FWVB merger, the Company anticipates future revenue and earnings growth from an expanded menu of financial services expanding the Company’s business footprint into the Ohio Valley. The FWVB merger resulted in the addition of
eight
branches and expanded the Company’s reach into West Virginia with
seven
branches and
one
branch in Eastern Ohio. The FWVB merger value was approximately
$51.3
million. In connection with the FWVB merger, the Company issued
1,317,647
shares of common stock based on the Company’s closing stock price on
April 30, 2018,
of
$31.9068,
and paid cash consideration of
$9.8
million in exchange for all the outstanding shares of FWVB common stock.
 
Merger-related expenses are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income and include costs relating to the Company’s acquisition of FWVB, as described above.  These charges represent
one
-time costs associated with acquisition activities and do
not
represent ongoing costs of the fully integrated combined organization.  Accounting guidance requires that acquisition-related transactional and restructuring costs incurred by the Company be charged to expense as incurred. There were approximately
$1.2
million of cumulative merger-related expenses, of which
$854,000
and
$356,000,
were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the years ended
December 31, 2018
and
2017,
respectively.
 
As of the date of merger, FWVB had approximately
$334.0
million of assets,
$96.8
million of loans, and
$282.9
million of deposits held across a network of
8
branches located in West Virginia and eastern Ohio.  The Company stockholders and FWVB stockholders now own approximately
76%
and
24%
of the combined company, respectively.
 
The FWVB merger is accounted for as an acquisition in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting as detailed in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")
805,
Business Combinations
. The acquisition method of accounting requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the date of acquisition. This process is heavily reliant on measuring and estimating the fair values of all the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity. To the extent we did
not
have the requisite expertise to determine the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, we engaged
third
-party valuation specialists to assist us in determining such values. The results of the fair value evaluation generated goodwill and intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual obligations or other legal rights.
 
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed of FWVB were recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at their estimated fair values as of
April 30, 2018.
Based on a purchase price allocation, the Company recorded
$23.5
million in goodwill and
$9.1
million in core deposit intangibles related to FWVB acquisition.
 
None
of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes, as the acquisition is accounted for as a tax-free exchange for tax purposes.
 
The provisional estimated acquisition-date fair values of major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in FWVB merger provisionally determined as of
June 30, 2018
and as subsequently revised for measurement-period adjustments, including a reconciliation to the total purchase consideration, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

The measurement-period adjustments were the result of continued refinement of certain estimates, particularly regarding the valuation of identified intangible assets, fixed assets, certain tax positions and deferred income taxes. As of
December 31, 2018,
we consider these balances to be complete. Goodwill of
$23.5
million arising from the acquisition, included in the Community Banking segment.
 
As part of the FWVB merger, the Company identified employees from FWVB who would be retained and estimated a severance cost of
$100,000
if those employees were terminated without cause within the
first
year of the merger.
 
The operating results of FWVB have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income since the
April 30, 2018,
acquisition date. Total income of the acquired operations of FWVB consisted of net interest income of approximately
$7.4
million, noninterest income of approximately
$620,000,
noninterest expense of approximately
$6.0
million and net income of approximately
$1.5
million from
May 1, 2018
through
December 31, 2018.
 
The following unaudited combined pro forma information presents the operating results for the years ended
December 31, 2018
and
2017,
respectively, as if the FWVB acquisition had occurred on
January 1, 2017.
The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and require significant estimates and judgments. As a result, they are
not
necessarily indicative of the results that would have been obtained had the FWVB merger actually occurred on
January 1, 2017
nor are they intended to be indicative of future results of operations (dollars in thousands, except per share data).
