Pending Merger

PENDING MERGER

MBT Financial Corp.

On October 9, 2018, the Corporation and MBT Financial Corp., a Michigan corporation ("MBT"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which MBT will, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, merge with and into the Corporation (the "Holding Company Merger"), whereupon the separate corporate existence of MBT will cease and the Corporation will survive. Immediately following the Holding Company Merger, MBT's wholly-owned subsidiary, Monroe Bank & Trust, will be merged with and into the Bank (the "Bank Merger" and, together with the Holding Company Merger, the "Mergers"), with the Bank continuing as the surviving bank. Based on the closing price of the Corporation's common stock on October 9, 2018 of $45.71 per share, the transaction value is estimated at approximately $290.9 million. The transaction is expected to be a tax-free exchange for MBT's shareholders who will be receiving the Corporation's common stock pursuant to the Holding Company Merger. MBT's total assets as of June 30, 2019 were $1.3 billion.

At a special meeting held on February 14, 2019, the shareholders of MBT approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  In addition, on January 3, 2019, the FDIC issued its order approving the Bank Merger, subject to certain customary conditions.   On June 27, 2019, the FDIC reconfirmed its approval and extended the time for consummation until September 30, 2019.  On February 18, 2019, the Indiana DFI approved the Bank Merger.  On June 20, 2019, the DFI reconfirmed its approval.   On June 13, 2019, the Corporation filed an application with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago seeking its approval of the merger.  Consummation of the Mergers remain subject to satisfaction of other customary closing conditions contained in the Merger Agreement.  The Mergers are expected to close during the third quarter of 2019.
