Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, (i) Wellesley merged with and into Cambridge, with Cambridge being the surviving entity and (ii) Wellesley Bank merged with and into Cambridge Trust Company with Cambridge Trust Company being the surviving entity (the “Merger”).
As a result of the Merger, each share of Wellesley common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.580 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Cambridge, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Also, each option to purchase Wellesley common stock was converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to $32.42 less the option exercise price, if such amount was greater than zero.
The following unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information combines the historical consolidated financial position and results of operations of Cambridge and its subsidiaries and Wellesley, as an acquisition by Cambridge of Wellesley using the acquisition method of accounting and giving effect to the related pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Wellesley were recorded by Cambridge at their respective fair values as of the date the merger was completed. Certain reclassifications were made to Wellesley’s historical financial information to conform to Cambridge’s presentation of financial information. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with Cambridge’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 17, 2020, Cambridge’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on May 8, 2020, Wellesley’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are being filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this amendment to Current Report on Form 8-K and Wellesley’s unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which are being filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this amendment to Current Report on Form 8-K.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only, does not indicate the financial results of the combined company had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of each period presented, nor are they indicative of our future financial position or financial results or, the impact of possible business model changes. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information also does not consider any potential effects of changes in market conditions on revenues, expense efficiencies, asset dispositions, and share repurchases, among other factors. The estimated fair value adjustments presented are as of the period presented and do not represent estimated fair values as of the merger date. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes, the preliminary allocation of the pro forma purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information is subject to adjustment and could materially vary from the final purchase price allocation as additional information becomes available. Accrued income taxes and deferred taxes were recorded on a provisional basis and could vary from the actual recorded balance once finalized.
The unaudited pro forma shareholders’ equity and net income are qualified by the statements set forth under this caption and should not be considered indicative of the market value of Cambridge common stock or the actual or future results of operations of Cambridge for any period. Actual results may be materially different than the pro forma information presented.

Note 1—Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information and notes have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the merger transaction involving Cambridge Bancorp (“Cambridge”) and Wellesley Bancorp, Inc. (“Wellesley”) using the acquisition method of accounting with Cambridge treated as the acquirer. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily indicate the financial results of the combined companies had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of each period presented, nor does it necessarily indicate the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined entity. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Wellesley, as of the effective date of the merger, were recorded by Cambridge at their respective fair values and the excess of the merger consideration over the fair value of the net assets was allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets.
The merger was announced on December 5, 2019, and was completed on June 1, 2020. As a result of the merger, each share of Wellesley common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.580 shares of common stock of Cambridge, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Also, each option to purchase Wellesley common stock was converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to $32.42 less the option exercise price, if such amount was greater than zero.
The pro forma allocation of purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information is subject to adjustment and may vary from the final purchase price allocation that was recorded at the time the merger transaction was completed. Adjustments may include, but not be limited to, changes in (i) Wellesley’s balance sheet through the effective date of the merger; (ii) total merger related expenses if consummation and/or implementation costs vary from currently estimated amounts; and (iv) the underlying values of assets and liabilities if market conditions differ from current assumptions.
The accounting policies of Cambridge and Wellesley are in the process of being reviewed in detail. Upon completion of such review, conforming adjustments or financial statement reclassification may be determined.
Note 2—Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The pro forma adjustments include the accounting entries to record the merger transaction under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets. Fair value adjustments included in the pro forma financial statements are based upon available information and certain assumptions considered reasonable, and may be revised as additional information becomes available.
The pro forma purchase price for the Wellesley merger is as follows:
