Item 2.01 | Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. |
On March 11, 2017, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 20, 2016 between F.N.B. Corporation (“F.N.B.”) and Yadkin Financial Corporation (“Yadkin”), F.N.B. completed its acquisition of Yadkin through the merger of Yadkin with and into F.N.B., with F.N.B. being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Yadkin is the holding company for Yadkin Bank, a North Carolina banking institution. Immediately following completion of the Merger, Yadkin Bank merged with and into First National Bank of Pennsylvania, the principal subsidiary of F.N.B., with First National Bank of Pennsylvania continuing as the surviving bank.
Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Yadkin common stock (excluding certain shares held by F.N.B., Yadkin and their respective subsidiaries, which were cancelled without receipt of any consideration) was converted into the right to receive 2.16 shares of the common stock of F.N.B., with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Additionally, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Yadkin common stock pursuant to Yadkin’s equity-based compensation plans was converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of F.N.B. common stock equal to the number of shares of Yadkin common stock underlying the option immediately prior to the Merger multiplied by 2.16 (rounded down to the nearest whole share), at an exercise price equal to the exercise price in effect immediately before the Merger, divided by 2.16 (rounded up to the nearest whole cent).
The foregoing description of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and the Merger does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 2.1 filed with this report.
