Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered The information set forth under the captions "Item 9. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters" and "Item 11. Description of the Registrant's Securities to be Registered" in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 10 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 1999, and as amended on Form 10/A filed on June 28, 1999 (File No.0-25903) ("Registration Statement"), is hereby incorporated by reference in response to this Item 1. On November 18, 2003, the Board of Directors of IBT Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") declared a dividend distribution of one Right for each outstanding share of Company Common Stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 1, 2003. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise, at a Purchase Price of $205, subject to adjustment. The terms of the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") between the Company and Registrar and Transfer Company, as Rights Agent. Initially, the Rights will be attached to all Common Stock certificates representing shares then outstanding, and no separate Rights Certificates will be distributed. The Rights will separate from the Common Stock and a Distribution Date will occur upon the earlier of (i) 10 business days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an "Acquiring Person") has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Stock Acquisition Date") or (ii) 10 business days following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group beneficially owning 10% or more of such outstanding shares of Common Stock. Until the Distribution Date, (i) the Rights will be evidenced by the Common Stock certificates and will be transferred with and only with such Common Stock certificates, (ii) new Common Stock certificates issued after December 1, 2003 will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference, and (iii) the surrender for transfer of any certificates for Common Stock outstanding will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented by such certificate. The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and will expire at the close of business on December 1, 2013, unless earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company as described below. As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, Rights Certificates will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Date and, thereafter, the separate Rights Certificates alone will represent the Rights. Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, only shares of Common Stock issued prior to the Distribution Date will be issued with Rights. In the event that at any time following the Rights Dividend Declaration Date, a Person becomes the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, each holder of a Right (other than Rights held by the party triggering the Rights and certain transferees which are voided) will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company, subject to certain limitations) having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. However, Rights are not exercisable following the occurrence of the event set forth above until such time as the Rights are no longer redeemable by the Company as set forth below. For example, at an exercise price of $205 per Right, each Right not owned by an Acquiring Person (or by certain related parties) following an event set forth in the preceding paragraph would entitle its holder to purchase $410 worth of Common Stock (or other consideration, as noted above) for $205. Assuming that the Common Stock had a per share value of $51.25 at such time, the holder of each valid Right would be entitled to purchase eight shares of Common Stock for $205. The Board may, at its option, at any time after a person becomes an Acquiring Person, exchange all or part of the outstanding Rights (other than Rights owned by an Acquiring Person, its affiliates, associates or transferees, which will become void) for shares of Common Stock at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock per Right. In the event that, at any time following the date that any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, (i) the Company engages in certain mergers or other business combination transactions or (ii) 50% or more of the Company's assets, cash flow or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a Right (except Rights which previously have been voided as set forth above) shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. The events set forth in this paragraph and in the second preceding paragraph are referred to as the "Triggering Events." At any time after a person becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by such person or group of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding Common Stock, the Board may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group which have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock, per Right (subject to adjustment). The Purchase Price payable, and the number of shares of Common Stock (or the number and kind of other securities or property, as the case may be) issuable, upon exercise of the Rights are subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution (i) in the event of a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of, the Common Stock, (ii) if holders of the Common Stock are granted certain rights or warrants to subscribe for Common Stock or convertible securities at less than the current market price of the Common Stock, or (iii) upon the distribution to holders of the Common Stock of evidences of indebtedness or assets (excluding regular periodic cash dividends) or of subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above). No adjustment in the Purchase Price will be required until cumulative adjustments amount to at least 1% of the Purchase Price. The Company is not required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock and in lieu thereof an adjustment in cash will be made. For fractional shares of Common Stock, the adjustment will be based on the market price of the Common Stock on the last trading date prior to the date of exercise. In general, the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at any time until ten days following the Stock Acquisition Date, at a price of $.01 per Right (payable in cash, Common Stock or other consideration deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors). Immediately upon the action of the Board of Directors ordering redemption of the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the $.01 per Right redemption price. Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends. While the distribution of the Rights will not be taxable to stockholders or to the Company, stockholders may, depending upon the circumstances, recognize taxable income in the event that the Rights become exercisable for Common Stock (or other consideration) of the Company or for common stock of the acquiring company as set forth above. Any of the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended prior to the Distribution Date. After the Distribution Date, the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended in order to cure any ambiguity, to make changes which do not adversely affect the interest of holders of Rights (excluding the interest of any Acquiring Person), or to shorten or lengthen any time period under the Rights Agreement; provided, however, that no amendment to adjust the time period governing redemption shall be made at such time as the Rights are not redeemable. On December 16, 2007, the Registrant amended its Shareholder Rights Plan to provide that neither S&T Bancorp, Inc. ("S&T") nor any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates or Associates, shall be or become an Acquiring Person as a result of the approval, execution, delivery or performance, or public announcement thereof, of the Agreement and Plan of Merger between S&T and the Company, dated as of December 16, 2007 (the "Merger Agreement"), any or all of the Voting Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated thereby.

AMENDMENT TO RIGHTS AGREEMENT

 

 

AMENDMENT, dated December 16, 2007 (this “Amendment”), to the Rights Agreement, dated as of November 18, 2003 (the “Rights Agreement”), between IBT Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Company”), and Registrar and Transfer Company, a New Jersey corporation (Rights Agent”).

 

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Amendment, Company, and S&T Bancorp, Inc (“Purchaser”) have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), which provides for the merger of Company with and into S&T Bancorp, Inc with S&T Bancorp, Inc as the surviving entity of the merger (the “Merger”), and the Board of Directors of Company has approved the Merger Agreement, the Merger, and this Amendment;

 

WHEREAS, Section 27 of the Rights Agreement provides that (i) prior to the Distribution Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement), Company and Rights Agent may supplement or amend any provision of the Rights Agreement (without the approval of any holders of certificates representing shares of the Common Stock of the Company) as Company deems necessary or desirable, and (ii) such an amendment will be evidenced by a writing signed by the Company and the Rights Agent; and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 27 of the Rights Agreement, the Board of Directors of Company has determined that an amendment to the Rights Agreement as set forth herein is necessary and desirable in connection with the foregoing and the Company and the Rights Agent desire to evidence such amendment in writing.

 

THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.         Section 1(a) of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following sentence immediately before the period at the end of the definition of “Acquiring Person”:

 


“; provided, further, however, neither S&T Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“S&T”), nor any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates or Associates, shall be or become an Acquiring Person as a result of the approval, execution, delivery or performance, or public announcement thereof, of the Agreement and Plan of Merger between S&T and the Company, dated as of December 16, 2007 (the “Merger Agreement”), any or all of the Voting Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement), or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated thereby.”

 

2.         Section 7(a) of the Rights Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the section in its entirety with the following:

 

“(a) Subject to Section 7(e) hereof, at any time after the Distribution Date, the registered holder of any Right Certificate may exercise the Rights evidenced thereby (except as otherwise provided herein, including without limitation, the restrictions on exercisability set forth in Section 9(c), Section 11(a)(iii) and Section 23(a) hereof) in whole or in part upon surrender of the Right Certificate, with the form of election to purchase and the certificate contained therein duly executed, to the Rights Agent at the principal office or offices of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose, together with payment of the aggregate Purchase Price with respect to the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company (or, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, other securities, cash or other assets, as the case may be) as to which such surrendered Rights are then exercisable, at or prior to the earliest of (i) the Final Expiration Date, (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed as provided in Section 23 hereof, (iii) the time at which the Rights are exchanged as provided in Section 23 hereof, or (iv) immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (the first to occur of (i) through (iv) hereof (inclusive being herein referred to as the “Expiration Date”).”

 

3.         Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement and the Rights shall terminate and be of no further force and effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

 

4.         This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania applicable to contracts to be made and performed entirely within such state. If any term of this Amendment is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms hereof shall remain in full force and effect, and this Amendment shall be construed in order to give the maximum effect to the remaining terms and intent hereof. S&T, its Subsidiaries, Affiliates and Associates (each as defined in the Rights Agreement) are intended third party beneficiaries of the terms hereof. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall together constitute one instrument.
