Exhibit 99.4
Pro Forma Post Acquisition Form 8-K
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting, giving effect to Norwood’s proposed acquisition of UpState New York Bancorp, Inc. (“UpState”). Under this method, UpState’s assets and liabilities as of the date of the acquisition will be recorded at their respective fair values and added to those of Norwood. Any difference between the purchase price for UpState and the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired (including core deposit intangibles) will be recorded as goodwill. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition will not be amortized to expense, but instead will be reviewed for impairment at least annually. Any core deposit intangible and other intangible assets with estimated useful lives to be recorded by Norwood in connection with the acquisition will be amortized to expense over their estimated useful lives. The financial statements of Norwood issued after the acquisition will reflect the results attributable to the acquired operations of UpState beginning on the date of completion of the acquisition.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 combines the historical financial statements of Norwood and UpState. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements give effect to the proposed acquisition as if the acquisition occurred on March 31, 2020 with respect to the balance sheet, and at the beginning of the period for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and for the three months ended March 31, 2020, with respect to the statement of income. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements were prepared with Norwood as the acquirer and UpState as the acquiree under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the consideration paid by Norwood to complete the acquisition of UpState will be allocated to UpState’s assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of completion of the acquisition. The allocation is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have not been finalized at the time of the acquisition announcement; however, preliminary valuations based on the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities have been estimated and included in the unaudited pro forma financial statements.
The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the merger is completed and after completion of thorough analyses to determine the fair value of UpState’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of the date the merger is completed. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact Norwood’s consolidated statement of income due to adjustments in yield and/or amortization of the adjusted assets or liabilities. Any changes to UpState shareholders’ equity, including results of operations from March 31, 2020 through the date the merger is completed will also change the purchase price allocation, which may include the recording of a lower or higher amount of goodwill. The final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein. The pro forma calculations, shown herein, assume a closing price for Norwood common stock of $24.30, which represents the closing price of Norwood common stock on July 6, 2020.
The pro forma income statement and per share data information does not include anticipated cost savings or revenue enhancements, nor does it include one-time merger-related expenses which will be expensed against income. UpState and Norwood are currently in the process of assessing the two companies’ personnel, benefits plans, premises, equipment, computer systems and service contracts to determine where the companies may take advantage of redundancies or where it will be beneficial or necessary to convert to one system. Certain decisions arising from these assessments may involve canceling contracts between either UpState or Norwood and certain service providers. The pro forma combined basic earnings and diluted earnings per share of Norwood common stock is based on the pro forma combined net income per common share for UpState and Norwood divided by the pro forma common shares or diluted common shares of the combined entities. The pro forma information includes adjustments related to the fair value of assets and liabilities of UpState and is subject to adjustment as additional information becomes available and as a final merger date analyses are performed. The pro forma combined balance sheet and book value per share data does include the impact of merger-related expenses on the balance sheet with UpState’s after-tax charges currently estimated at $4.9 million, illustrated as a pro forma fair value liability accrual, and Norwood’s after-tax estimated charges of $1.7 million, illustrated as a pro forma adjustment to retained earnings and liability accrual. The pro forma combined book value and tangible book value of Norwood common stock is based on the pro forma combined common stockholders’ equity of UpState and Norwood divided by total pro forma common shares of the combined entities.
