Pending Acquisition

AIM Bancshares, Inc.

On February 11, 2020, Heartland entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire AIM Bancshares, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, AimBank, headquartered in Levelland, Texas. Shareholders of AIM Bancshares will receive 207.0 shares of Heartland common stock and $685.00 of cash for each share of AIM Bancshares. The transaction value will change due to fluctuations in the price of Heartland common stock and is subject to certain potential adjustments as set forth in the merger agreement. Simultaneous with the closing of the transaction, AimBank will merge into Heartland's Texas-based subsidiary, First Bank & Trust, and the combined entity will operate as First Bank & Trust. As of March 31, 2020, AimBank had total assets of $1.82 billion, $1.16 billion of gross loans outstanding, and $1.58 billion of deposits. Because the merger agreement was signed on February 11, 2020, and the transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2020, the transaction has no impact on Heartland's first quarter 2020 consolidated financial statements.

Rockford Bank and Trust Company

On November 30, 2019, Heartland's Illinois Bank & Trust subsidiary completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets and substantially all of the deposits and certain other liabilities of Rockford Bank and Trust Company, headquartered in Rockford, Illinois. Rockford Bank and Trust Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Moline, Illinois-based QCR Holdings, Inc. As of the closing date, Rockford Bank and Trust Company had, at fair value, total assets of $495.7 million, which included $354.0 million of gross loans held to maturity, and $430.3 million of deposits. The all-cash payment was approximately $46.6 million.

Blue Valley Ban Corp.

On May 10, 2019, Heartland completed the acquisition of Blue Valley Ban Corp. ("BVBC") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Blue Valley, headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas. Based on Heartland's closing common stock price of $44.78 per share on May 10, 2019, the aggregate consideration paid to BVBC common shareholders was $92.3 million, which was paid by delivery of 2,060,258 shares of Heartland common stock. On the closing date, in addition to this merger consideration,

Heartland provided BVBC the funds necessary to repay outstanding debt of $6.9 million, and Heartland assumed $16.1 million of trust preferred securities at fair value. Immediately following the closing of the transaction, Bank of Blue Valley was merged with and into Heartland's wholly-owned Kansas subsidiary, Morrill & Janes Bank and Trust Company, and the combined entity operates under the Bank of Blue Valley brand. As of the closing date, BVBC had, at fair value, total assets of $766.2 million, total loans held to maturity of $542.0 million, and total deposits of $617.1 million. The transaction was a tax-free reorganization with respect to the stock consideration received by the stockholders of BVBC.
