Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 13, 2009, Pendleton Community Bank, Inc. ("Pendleton"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with Citizens National Bank ("Citizens"). Under the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, Citizens has agreed to sell to Pendleton certain assets and transfer certain deposits and other liabilities of its branch offices located at 102 Virginia Avenue, Petersburg, West Virginia (the "Petersburg Branch") and at 650 Seneca Trail, North, Marlinton, West Virginia (the "Marlinton Branch" and, together with the Petersburg Branch, the "Branches"). In connection with the purchase of the Branches, Pendleton will be acquiring certain loans, fixed assets, the real property related to the Branches, cash on hand and Citizens’ rights under operation and maintenance contracts and all records related to the foregoing.
Pendleton has been given the opportunity for a period of 60 days to examine each of the loan files maintained by Citizens and may, upon proper notice, reject certain loans. In addition, Pendleton will have the opportunity to examine loans on the closing date to determine whether any loans may be rejected as a result of the following: (i) a loan being more than 90 days past due as of the closing date; (ii) a loan being more than 90 days past due within the 12-month period prior to the closing date; or (iii) a loan being determined to be substandard, doubtful or lost.
The purchase price for the transfer of the assets and liabilities of the Branches shall be the sum of the following: (i) the loan purchase price; (ii) the deposit per diem; (iii) the unamortized portion of prepaid expenses associated with any of the assets sold; (iv) the Petersburg fixed assets and real property purchase price; (v) the Marlinton real property purchase price; and (vi) the total of cash on hand and cash items held by Citizens as of the closing date.
The "loan purchase price" means the aggregate book value of all loans at the time of closing an d all accrued and unpaid interest and accrued but unpaid credit protection insurance premiums of all loans at the time of closing (not including the unfunded portion of all outstanding lines of credit or loan commitments) less prepaid interest thereon at the time of the closing. The "deposit premium" means the sum of the Marlinton applicable percentage (5%) multiplied by the core deposits of the Marlinton Branch as of the closing date plus the Petersburg applicable percentage (5.1%) multiplied by the core deposits of the Petersburg Branch as of the closing date. For purposes of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, the term "core deposits" means all deposits (as defined in Section 12 U.S.C. § 1813(1)) of the Branches excluding deposit accounts associated with a public body, deposit accounts associated with Citizens’ regional account relationships and certificates of deposit of $250,000 or more. The "Petersburg fixed assets and real property purchase price" means the average of the fair market value of the land, building, furniture and fixtures of the Petersburg Branch as determined by the average of three appraisals to be obtained before closing. The "Marlinton real property purchase price" means $600,000 for the land, building and fixtures of the Marlinton Branch.
The closing of the transaction is contingent upon and subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions. Allegheny expects the transaction to close in the second quarter of 2009. The agreement may be terminated by either party if the transaction does not close on or before April 30, 2009.
The foregoing description of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, reference to the full and complete terms of that agreement that is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to the current report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Allegheny issued a press release dated January 13, 2009, to announce the entry into the Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
