Community Bank Shares of Indiana, Inc. (NASDAQ GM: CBIN), the holding company for Your Community Bank and The Scott County State Bank, and First Financial Service Corporation (NASDAQ GM: FFKY), the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank of Elizabethtown, jointly announced today they have entered into an agreement and plan of share exchange (the “Agreement”). Under the terms of the Agreement, Community Bank Shares of Indiana, Inc. will exchange all of the issued and outstanding common shares of First Financial Service Corporation for 0.153 shares of CBIN’s common stock, subject to potential adjustments at closing. Based on CBIN’s 20 trading day average common stock price of $22.33 per share, as of April 17, 2014, assuming no exchange ratio adjustments, the transaction is valued at approximately $17.9 million. As part of the transaction, FFKY’s outstanding preferred stock, all of which was issued in the Troubled Assets Relief Program, will be redeemed at or promptly following closing of the acquisition for approximately $12.3 million, plus accrued but unpaid interest. In addition, CBIN has entered into subscription agreements with investors to purchase approximately $25.0 million of CBIN common stock immediately prior to the consummation of the share exchange transaction at a price of $22.33 per share. The transaction is subject to receipt of FFKY shareholder approval, CBIN shareholder approval and customary regulatory approvals. We expect the transaction to close in the late third or fourth quarter of 2014.
Upon the consummation of the transaction, First Federal Savings Bank of Elizabethtown will be merged with and into Your Community Bank. At that time, First Federal Savings Bank of Elizabethtown offices will become branches of Your Community Bank. CBIN estimates it will have approximately $1.6 billion in assets and 41 branch offices throughout southeastern Indiana and Kentucky after the transaction closes. CBIN expects the transaction to be accretive to earnings per share in the first full year of operations, excluding any one-time restructuring charges, and that all subsidiary banks will exceed “well-capitalized” thresholds under all regulatory definitions.
James D. Rickard, President and CEO of Community Bank Shares of Indiana, stated, “We are excited to add to our presence in the Louisville and Bardstown markets, while expanding into Elizabethtown and neighboring communities. We believe this transaction creates a dynamic community banking franchise across the entire Louisville MSA. Community Bank Shares enjoys strong market share in the northern counties of Louisville and the addition of FFKY adds a strong presence in Louisville’s southern counties. The acquisition of FFKY is the second transaction we have undertaken in the last twelve months. These activities are part of an integrated strategy to drive shareholder returns through both organic and acquisition related growth.”
