Note 1—Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting giving effect to the merger involving TriCo and FNB. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position had the merger been consummated at March 31, 2018 or the results of operations had the merger been consummated at January 1, 2017, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operation in future periods or the future financial position of the combined entities. The merger was completed on July 6, 2018. The merger consideration included the issuance of approximately $284.4 million in equity consideration as well as cash consideration of approximately $6.7 million.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of FNB will be recorded at their respective fair values on the merger date. The fair value on the merger date represents management’s best estimates based on available information and facts and circumstances in existence on the merger date. Although the purchase price is indicative of the actual purchase price, the pro forma adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to change and may vary from the actual purchase price allocation that will be recorded when the accounting for the merger is completed. Adjustments may include, but not be limited to, changes in (i) FNB’s balance sheet through the effective time of the merger; (ii) total merger related expenses if consummation and/or implementation costs vary from currently estimated amounts; and (iii) the underlying values of assets and liabilities if market conditions differ from current assumptions.
The accounting policies of both TriCo and FNB are in the process of being reviewed in detail. Upon completion of such review, conforming adjustments or financial statement reclassification may be determined necessary.
Note 2—Estimated Merger and Integration Costs
In connection with the merger, the integration of TriCo’s and FNB’s operations is underway, with the system conversion occurring during the month of acquisition. Trico expects to incur merger-related expenses and other expenditures including system implementation, data conversion, employee retention and severance, communications with customers and vendors, facility upgrades, and other potentially significant costs. To the extent there are costs associated with these actions, the costs will be recorded based on the nature and timing of these integration actions. Most acquisition costs are recognized separately from a business combination and generally will be expensed as incurred. We expect that the majority of merger related costs will be incurred during 2018.
Note 3—Pro Forma Adjustments
The following pro forma adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. All taxable adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities were calculated using a 29.56% effective tax rate. Adjustments to the income tax provision were calculated using a 29.56% effective tax rate for the period ending March 31, 2018, and a 42.05% effective tax rate for the period ending December 31, 2017. All adjustments are based on current assumptions and valuations, which are subject to change.
