Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets |
On October 11, 2013, CNB
Financial Corporation (“CNB”) completed its previously announced acquisition of FC Banc Corp. (“FC”), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 26, 2013 (the “Merger Agreement”), by
and between CNB and FC. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, FC merged with and into CNB (the “Merger”), with CNB being the surviving corporation of the Merger. Additionally, The Farmers Citizens Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of FC
(“FC Bank”), merged with and into CNB Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of CNB, with CNB Bank continuing as the surviving entity (the “Bank Merger”). As a result of the Bank Merger, FC Bank will operate as a separate and distinctly
branded division of CNB Bank.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, for each share of FC common stock, FC shareholders were entitled to elect
to receive either (x) $30.00 in cash or (y) 1.754 shares of CNB common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”) and shall receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Elections were subject to proration procedures whereby at least 80% of
shares of FC common stock will be exchanged for shares of CNB common stock. Since stock elections were made with respect to more than 80% of the shares of FC common stock, all shares of FC common stock for which cash elections were made will be
converted into the right to receive cash. Based on the elections and proration procedures, the total consideration payable to FC shareholders is approximately $41.6 million, comprised of approximately $8.0 million in cash and 1,873,879 shares
of CNB common stock, valued at approximately $33.6 million based on the October 11, 2013 closing price of $17.91 per share of CNB common stock.
Additionally, upon the consummation of the Merger, the board of directors of CNB was expanded in size by one seat and Robert D. Hord, age
67, the Chairman of FC, was designated to serve on the CNB board of directors for a term to expire at CNB’s 2014 annual meeting. Mr. Hord was also appointed to the board of directors of CNB Bank. At CNB’s 2014 annual meeting,
Mr. Hord will be included as a nominee for election to the CNB board of directors as a member of Class 2 thereof, for a term to expire at the 2016 annual meeting of shareholders of CNB. Should Mr. Hord reach the mandatory retirement age
for directors of CNB before the completion of his term at the 2016 annual meeting, then CNB will, following consultation with Mr. Hord, choose a replacement familiar with FC’s market to complete the remainder of Mr. Hord’s term.
The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Merger Agreement, which was attached as Exhibit 2.1 to CNB’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2013 and is incorporated herein by reference.
A copy of CNB’s press release dated October 15, 2013, announcing the completion of the Merger is attached hereto as
Exhibit 99.1.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers.
The information set forth in Item 2.01 hereof relating to the appointment of Robert D. Hord to
the boards of directors of CNB and CNB Bank is incorporated herein by reference.
Mr. Hord will serve on the Loan Committee of the
board of directors of CNB.
Mr. Hord will be compensated as a non-employee director of CNB in accordance with the compensation
policies described in CNB’s proxy statement for CNB’s 2013 annual meeting of shareholders.
Other than as described in
Item 2.01 hereof, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Hord and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Hord will be designated to serve on the boards of
directors of CNB and CNB Bank. There has been no transaction nor are there any proposed transactions between CNB, CNB Bank and Mr. Hord that would require disclosure pursuant to
Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements that may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and this
statement is included for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Readers should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. These forward-looking statements are based on
current plans and expectations, which are subject to a number of risk factors and uncertainties that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance or future expectations. These differences may be the result of various
factors, including, among others: (1) disruptions to the parties’ businesses as a result of the announcement and pendency of the merger; (2) costs or difficulties related to the integration of the business following the proposed
merger; (3) the risk that the anticipated benefits, cost savings and any other savings from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer than expected to realize; (4) changes in general business, industry or economic
conditions or competition; (5) changes in any applicable law, rule, regulation, policy, guideline or practice governing or affecting financial holding companies and their subsidiaries or with respect to tax or accounting principles or
otherwise; (6) adverse changes or conditions in capital and financial markets; (7) changes in interest rates or credit availability; (8) changes in the quality or composition of loan and investment portfolios; (9) adequacy of
loan loss reserves and changes in loan default and charge-off rates; (10) increased competition and its effect on pricing, spending, third-party relationships and revenues; (11) loss of certain key officers; (12) continued
relationships with major customers; (13) deposit attrition necessitating increased borrowings to fund loans and investments; (14) rapidly changing technology; (15) unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings and liabilities and
other costs; (16) changes in the cost of funds, demand for loan products or demand for financial services; and (17) other economic, competitive, governmental or technological factors affecting operations, markets, products, services and
prices.
The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive, and CNB undertakes no obligation to subsequently revise any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements, or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances.
