MSB-QA Questions & Answers about our conversion and stock offering |
GENERAL — THE CONVERSION Our board of directors has determined that the conversion is in the best interests of our organization, our customers and the communities we serve. Q. What is the conversion? A. Under our plan of conversion (the “Plan”), Mercer Savings Bank will convert from the mutual (meaning no stockholders) to the stock form of ownership, through the sale of shares of Mercer Bancorp, Inc. common stock. Upon completion of the conversion, 100% of the common stock of Mercer Bancorp, Inc. will be owned by stockholders, and Mercer Bancorp, Inc. will own 100% of Mercer Savings Bank. As a part of the Plan, we also intend to establish and fund the Mercer Savings Charitable Foundation. Refer to the Prospectus for further details. Q. What are the reasons for the conversion and offering? A. ּOur primary reasons for converting and raising additional capital through the offering are to: ● increase capital to support future growth and profitability; ● retain and attract qualified personnel by establishing stock-based benefit plans for management and employees; ● offer our customers and employees an opportunity to purchase an equity interest in Mercer Savings Bank by purchasing shares of common stock of Mercer Bancorp; and ● support and enhance Mercer Savings Bank’s charitable giving in its local community. Q. Is Mercer Savings Bank considered “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes? A. Yes. As of March 31, 2023, Mercer Savings Bank was considered “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes. Q. Will customers notice any change in Mercer Savings Bank day-to-day activities as a result of the conversion and offering? A. No. It will be business as usual. The conversion is an internal change in our corporate structure. There will be no change to our board of directors, management, and staff as a result of the conversion. Q. Will the conversion and stock offering affect customers’ deposit accounts or loans? A. No. The conversion and stock offering will not affect the balance or terms of deposits or loans, and deposits will continue to be federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the maximum legal limits. Deposit accounts will not be converted to stock. THE PROXY VOTE Although we have received conditional regulatory approval, the Plan is also subject to approval by Mercer Savings Bank’s members (i.e., depositors and borrowers of Mercer Savings Bank). Q. Why should I vote “FOR” the Plan and the Charitable Foundation? A. Your vote “FOR” both proposals is extremely important to us. The Plan and the Foundation cannot be implemented without the approval of the members of Mercer Savings Bank. Each Mercer Savings Bank member as of April 30, 2023 received one or more proxy cards. These packages also included a Proxy Statement describing the Plan and the Foundation. Voting does not obligate you to purchase shares of common stock in the offering. Q. What happens if I don’t vote? A. Your vote is very important. Without sufficient favorable votes, we cannot complete the conversion and the related stock offering. Proxy Cards not voted will have the same effect as voting ‘‘Against’’ both proposals. Q. How do I vote? A. You may cast your vote immediately by internet or telephone by following the instructions on the proxy card. Internet and telephone voting is available 24 hours a day, and your vote will be recorded immediately. Alternatively, you may mark your vote, sign, date and mail the proxy card(s) in the enclosed proxy reply envelope today. You may also deliver your signed proxy cards to any Mercer Savings Bank office. Regardless of how you choose to cast your vote, please vote today. Not voting has the same effect as voting “Against” both proposals. Q. How many votes are available to me? A. Depositors of Mercer Savings Bank at the close of business on April 30, 2023 are entitled to one vote for each $100 or fraction thereof on deposit at Mercer Savings Bank. In addition, borrowers from Mercer Savings Bank at the close of business on April 30, 2023 are entitled to one vote in addition to any votes they may also be entitled to cast as depositors. Proxy Cards are not imprinted with your number of votes; however, votes will be automatically tallied by computer. Q. Why did I receive more than one Proxy Card? A. If you had more than one deposit or loan account at Mercer Savings Bank at the close of business on April 30, 2023, you may have received more than one Proxy Card, depending on the ownership structure of your accounts. There are no duplicate cards — please promptly vote all the Proxy Cards sent to you. Q. More than one name appears on my Proxy Card. Who must sign? A. The name(s) reflect the title of your account. Proxy Cards for joint accounts require the signature of only one of the account holders. Proxy Cards for trust or custodian accounts must be signed by the trustee or the custodian, not the listed beneficiary. Mercer Bancorp, Inc. is offering shares of its common stock for sale on a best efforts basis in connection with the conversion of Mercer Savings Bank from the mutual to the stock form of organization. This pamphlet answers questions about our conversion and stock offering. Investing in shares of common stock involves certain risks. Before making an investment decision, please read the enclosed Prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section. |
THE STOCK OFFERING AND PURCHASING SHARES Q. How many shares are being offered and at what price? A. Mercer Bancorp, Inc. is offering for sale between 913,750 and 1,236,250 shares of common stock (subject to increase to 1,421,688 shares) at $10.00 per share. No sales commission will be charged to purchasers. Q. Who is eligible to purchase stock during the stock offering? A. Pursuant to the Plan, non-transferable rights to subscribe for shares of Mercer Bancorp, Inc. common stock in the Subscription Offering have been granted in the following descending order of priority: Priority #1 — Depositors of Mercer Savings Bank with aggregate balances of $50 or more at the close of business on February 28, 2022; Priority #2 — Our tax-qualified employee benefit plans; Priority #3 — Depositors and borrowers of Mercer Savings Bank at the close of business on April 30, 2023. Shares not sold in the Subscription Offering may be offered for sale to the public in a Community Offering, with a preference given to natural persons and trusts of natural persons residing in Mercer or Darke counties in Ohio, or Adams or Jay counties in Indiana. Shares not sold in the Subscription and Community Offerings may be offered for sale to the general public through a Syndicated Community Offering. Q. I am eligible to subscribe for shares of common stock in the Subscription Offering but am not interested in investing. May I allow someone else to use my Stock Order Form to take advantage of my priority as an eligible account holder? A. No. Subscription rights are non-transferable! Only those eligible to subscribe for common stock in the Subscription Offering, as listed above, may subscribe for shares in the Subscription Offering. To preserve subscription rights, the shares may only be registered in the name(s) of eligible account holder(s). On occasion, unscrupulous people attempt to persuade account holders to transfer subscription rights, or to subscribe shares in the offering based on an understanding that the shares will be subsequently transferred to others. Participation in such schemes is against the law and may subject involved parties to prosecution. If you become aware of any such activities, please notify our Stock Information Center promptly so that we can take the necessary steps to protect our eligible account holders’ subscription rights in the Subscription Offering. Q. How may I order shares during the Subscription and Community Offerings? A. Shares can be ordered by completing a Stock Order Form and returning it, with full payment, so that it is received (not postmarked) before the offering deadline. You may submit your Stock Order Form by overnight delivery to the indicated address on the Stock Order Form, by hand-delivery to Mercer Savings Bank’s office located at 1100 Irmscher Blvd., Celina, Ohio, or by mail using the Stock Order Reply Envelope provided. Q. What is the deadline for ordering shares? A. To order shares in the Subscription Offering, you must deliver a properly completed, signed Stock Order Form, with full payment, so that it is received (not postmarked) before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 14, 2023. Acceptable methods for delivery of Stock Order Forms are described above. Q. How may I pay for the shares? A. Payment for shares can be remitted in three ways: (1) By personal check, bank check or money order, made payable to Mercer Bancorp, Inc. All checks will be deposited upon receipt. We cannot accept wires or third party checks. (2) By authorized deposit account withdrawal of funds from your Mercer Savings Bank deposit account(s). The Stock Order Form section titled “Method of Payment — Deposit Account Withdrawal” allows you to list the account number(s) and amount(s) to be withdrawn. Funds designated for direct withdrawal must be in the account(s) at the time the Stock Order Form is received. IRA or other retirement accounts held at Mercer Savings Bank may not be listed for direct withdrawal. See information on retirement accounts below. (3) By cash. Please do not mail cash! Q. Will I earn interest on my funds? A. Yes. If you pay by cash, personal check, bank check or money order, you will earn interest at Mercer Savings Bank’s statement savings rate, which is subject to change at any time and is currently 0.05% per annum, from the date we process your payment until the completion of the conversion and offering. At that time, you will be issued a check for interest earned on these funds. If you pay for shares by authorizing a withdrawal from your Mercer Savings Bank deposit account(s), your funds will continue earning interest within the account at the contract rate. The interest will remain in your account(s) when the designated withdrawal is made, upon completion of the conversion and offering. Q. Are there limits to how many shares I can order? A. Yes. The minimum order is 25 shares ($250). The maximum number of shares that may be purchased by a person or group of persons exercising subscription rights through a single deposit account held jointly is 20,000 shares ($200,000). Additionally, no person or entity, together with any associate or group of persons acting in concert, may purchase more than 40,000 shares ($400,000) in all categories of the offering combined. More detail on purchase limits, including the definition of “associate” and “acting in concert”, can be found in the Prospectus section entitled “The Conversion and Stock Offering — Limitations on Common Stock Purchases”. Q. May I use my Mercer Savings Bank individual retirement account (“IRA”) to purchase shares? A. It’s possible to use funds currently held in retirement accounts with Mercer Savings Bank. However, before you place your stock order, the funds you wish to use must be transferred to a self-directed retirement account maintained by an independent trustee or custodian, such as a brokerage firm. If you are interested in using IRA or any other retirement funds held at Mercer Savings Bank or elsewhere, please call our Stock Information Center for guidance as soon as possible but in no event later than |
two weeks before the June 14, 2023 offering deadline. Your ability to use such funds for this purchase may depend on time constraints, because this type of purchase requires additional processing time, and may be subject to limitations imposed by the institution where the funds are held. Q. May I use a loan from Mercer Savings Bank to pay for shares? A. No. Mercer Savings Bank, by regulation, may not extend a loan for the purchase of Mercer Bancorp, Inc. common stock in the offering. Similarly, you may not use existing Mercer Savings Bank line of credit checks to purchase stock in the offering. Q. May I change my mind after I place an order to subscribe for stock? A. No. After receipt, your executed Stock Order Form cannot be modified or revoked without our consent or unless the offering is terminated or is extended beyond July 31, 2023 or the number of shares of common stock to be sold is increased to more than 1,421,688 shares or decreased to less than 913,750 shares. Q. Are directors and executive officers of Mercer Savings Bank planning to purchase stock? A. Yes! Directors and executive officers, together with their associates, are expected to subscribe for an aggregate of 65,500 shares ($655,000) or approximately 6.8% of the shares to be sold in the offering at the minimum of the offering range. Q. Will the common stock be insured? A. No. Like any common stock, Mercer Bancorp, Inc.’s common stock will not be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Q. Will dividends be paid on the stock? A. Following completion of the offering, Mercer Bancorp, Inc.’s board of directors will have the authority to declare dividends on the common stock. However, no decision has been made with respect to the payment of dividends. The payment and amount of any dividend payments will depend upon a number of factors, including the following: regulatory capital requirements; our financial condition and results of operations; tax considerations; statutory and regulatory limitations; and general economic conditions. Q. How will the shares of Mercer Bancorp, Inc. trade? A. We anticipate that the common stock sold in the offering will be quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace operated by OTC Markets Group. However, following completion of the conversion, if we meet Nasdaq listing requirements we will use our best efforts to obtain approval for shares of common stock to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Once the shares have begun trading, you may contact a firm offering investment services in order to buy or sell Mercer Bancorp, Inc. common stock. Q. If I purchase shares during the offering, when will I receive my shares? A. All shares of Mercer Bancorp, Inc. common stock sold in the offering will be issued in book-entry form on the books of our transfer agent, through the Direct Registration System.
