William Penn. Retention of certain employees may be challenging while the Merger is pending, as certain employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with Mid Penn. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with Mid Penn, Mid Penn’s business following the Merger could be harmed. In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts William Penn from taking certain actions until the Merger occurs without the consent of Mid Penn. These restrictions may prevent William Penn from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Merger.
If the Merger is not completed, William Penn and Mid Penn will have incurred substantial expenses without realizing the expected benefits of the Merger.
William Penn and Mid Penn have both incurred substantial expenses in connection with the Merger. The completion of the Merger depends on the satisfaction of specified conditions and the continued effectiveness of regulatory approvals and the approval of Mid Penn’s and William Penn’s shareholders. William Penn and Mid Penn cannot guarantee that these conditions will be met. If the Merger is not completed, these expenses could have an adverse impact on the financial condition and results of operations on a stand-alone basis for both William Penn and Mid Penn.
Litigation relating to the Merger could require us to incur significant costs and suffer management distraction, as well as delay and/or enjoin the Merger.
Neither William Penn nor Mid Penn is currently able to predict the outcome of any suit arising out of or relating to the proposed transaction that may be filed in the future. If any letters or complaints are filed, absent allegations that are material, William Penn and Mid Penn will not necessarily announce such filings.
William Penn and Mid Penn could be subject to demands or litigation related to the Merger, whether or not the Merger is consummated. Such actions may create additional uncertainty relating to the Merger, and responding to such demands and defending such actions may be costly and distracting to management. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcomes of any demand or any subsequent litigation, neither William Penn nor Mid Penn believes that the resolution of such demands or any subsequent litigation will have a material adverse effect on its respective financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
