F.N.B. Corporation to Acquire Yadkin Financial Corporation, Creating Premier Mid-Atlantic and Southeast Regional Bank
Joint Press Release
PITTSBURGH, PA and RALEIGH, NC, July 21, 2016 F.N.B. Corporation (FNB) (NYSE: FNB) and Yadkin Financial Corporation (Yadkin) (NYSE: YDKN) today jointly announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which F.N.B. Corporation will acquire Yadkin Financial Corporation, the holding company and parent of Yadkin Bank, in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $27.35 per share, or $1.4 billion in the aggregate, using the 20-day trailing average closing stock price of FNB as of Wednesday, July 20, 2016. Following the merger of the parent holding companies, Yadkin Bank will merge with and into FNBs subsidiary, First National Bank of Pennsylvania.
The acquisition of the North Carolina-based bank will provide FNB with approximately $7.5 billion in total assets, $5.3 billion in total deposits, $5.4 billion in total loans and 100 banking offices located in North Carolina and South Carolina. The transaction creates a unique regional banking franchise that extends from the Mid-Atlantic to the Southeast and provides FNB with a presence in several high-growth markets, including Raleigh, Charlotte and the Piedmont Triad which is comprised of Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and High Point.
With the acquisition of Yadkin on a pro-forma basis, FNB will have nearly $30 billion in total assets and more than 400 full-service banking offices. The combined Company will also have approximately $21 billion in deposits and $20 billion in total loans. Under the terms of the merger agreement, which has been approved by the board of directors of each company, shareholders of Yadkin will be entitled to receive 2.16 shares of FNB common stock for each common share of Yadkin*. The exchange ratio is fixed and the transaction is expected to qualify as a tax-free exchange for shareholders of Yadkin. Yadkin shareholders will own approximately 35 percent of FNB post-transaction. The merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including approval by the FNB and Yadkin shareholders and approval by the federal bank regulators.
We are pleased to welcome Yadkin employees and are excited to bring FNBs relationship-focused banking model and leading-edge technology to our new customers and prospective clients. Both FNB and Yadkin are high performing banks with a track record of successful growth. The combination with Yadkin transforms FNBs growth profile and creates a premier regional bank with an expanded footprint across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, said Vincent J. Delie, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of F.N.B. Corporation. With this additional scale, FNB will be better positioned to compete effectively in an environment which requires constant attention to improving operational efficiencies. Our prospects for improved efficiency and revenue growth will serve FNB well as we continue to drive shareholder value creation.
Scott Custer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Yadkin Financial Corporation, said Yadkin Financial Corporation is delighted to partner with F.N.B. Corporation, one of the most impressive banking organizations in the United States. FNBs executive management team has done a tremendous job of delivering value to customers and shareholders while consistently being recognized as one of the best places to work for employees. We believe this partnership will provide the best returns for our shareholders while providing tremendous opportunities for our employees, customers and the communities we serve.
FNB and Yadkin expect to complete the transaction and integration in the first quarter of 2017 after satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and the approval of the FNB and Yadkin shareholders.
RBC Capital Markets, LLC served as exclusive financial advisor and Reed Smith LLP served as legal counsel to FNB. Sandler ONeill & Partners LP acted as exclusive financial advisor and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP served as legal counsel to Yadkin.
