NOTE 18. MERGER

 

Pending Merger

 

On August 24, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Burke & Herbert Financial Services Corp. (“Burke & Herbert”), a $3.6 billion Virginia corporation headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, pursuant to which Summit will merge with and into Burke & Herbert, with Burke & Herbert as the surviving entity.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each outstanding share of Summit common stock, par value $2.50 per share will be converted into the right to receive 0.5043 shares of Burke & Herbert common stock, par value $0.50 per share. Holders of Summit common stock will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. The merger is intended to be a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. 

 

The merger will close May 3, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions. Immediately following the merger, Summit Community Bank, Inc., Summit’s wholly owned banking subsidiary, will be merged with and into Burke & Herbert’s wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Burke & Herbert Bank & Trust Company, with B&H Bank the surviving bank. Refer to our 8-K filed with the SEC on August 24, 2023 for further details.
