Acquisition of LBC Bancshares, Inc.

On May 1, 2019, the Company completed its acquisition of LBC Bancshares, Inc. (“LBC”), a bank holding company headquartered in LaGrange, Georgia. Upon consummation of the acquisition, LBC was merged with and into the Company, with Colony as the surviving entity in the merger. At that time, LBC’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, Calumet Bank, was also merged with and into the Bank. The acquisition expanded the Company’s market presence, as Calumet Bank had two full-service banking locations, one each in LaGrange, Georgia and Columbus, Georgia, as well as a loan production office in Atlanta, Georgia. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, each LBC shareholder had the option to receive either $23.50 in cash or 1.3239 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each share of LBC common stock, subject to customary proration and allocation procedures such that 55% of LBC shares received the stock consideration and 45% received the cash consideration, with at least 50% of the merger consideration paid in the Company's common stock. As a result, the Company issued 1,053,875 common shares at a fair value of $18.2 million and paid $15.3 million in cash to the former shareholders of LBC as merger consideration.

The merger was effected by the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock along with cash consideration to shareholders to LBC. The assets and liabilities of LBC as of the effective date of the merger were recorded at their respective estimated fair values and combined with those of the Company. The excess of the purchase price over the net estimated fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities was allocated to identifiable intangible assets with the remaining excess allocated to goodwill. Goodwill of $15.2 million was recorded as part of the LBC acquisition and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table presents the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of LBC as of May 1, 2019, and their fair value estimates. The fair value estimates were subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition for new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. The Company continues its evaluation of the facts and circumstances available as of May 1, 2019, to assign fair values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which could result in further adjustments to the fair values presented below.
