Note 22 — Subsequent Event

On January 20, 2014, the Parent Corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with ConnectOne Bancorp, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“ConnectOne Bancorp”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, ConnectOne Bancorp will merge with and into the Parent Corporation, with the Parent Corporation continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), and the Parent Corporation will change its name to ConnectOne Bancorp. The Merger Agreement also provides that immediately following the consummation of the Merger, the Bank will merge with and into ConnectOne Bank (the “Bank Merger”), a New Jersey-chartered commercial bank (“ConnectOne Bank”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ConnectOne Bancorp, with ConnectOne Bank continuing as the surviving bank. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, upon completion of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, no par value per share, of ConnectOne Bancorp (“ConnectOne Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become the right to receive 2.6 shares of the Parent’s Corporation’s common stock. The Merger and the Bank Merger are subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, the approvals of the shareholders of the Parent Corporation and ConnectOne Bancorp and other conditions. The parties contemplate that the merger will be consummated during the second or third quarters of 2014, provided that all conditions are satisfied or, where permitted, waived.
