CROGHAN BANCSHARES, INC. | | | | INDEBANCORP |
Croghan Bancshares, Inc. (“Croghan”) and Indebancorp (“Indebancorp”) have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 20, 2013 (the “merger agreement”), which provides for the merger of Indebancorp with and into Croghan (the “merger”). Consummation of the merger is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, obtaining the requisite vote of the shareholders of each of Indebancorp and Croghan and the approval of the merger by various regulatory agencies.
The Board of Directors of Indebancorp has called a special meeting of its shareholders to vote on the adoption of the merger agreement and the approval of transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger of Indebancorp with and into Croghan. The time, date and place of the Indebancorp special meeting are as follows:9:30 a.m., local time, on November 19, 2013, at the Community Market VFW Memorial Center, 125 W. Main Street, Oak Harbor, Ohio 43449. The adoption of the merger agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated thereby by the shareholders of Indebancorp requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at leasttwo-thirds (2/3) of the Indebancorp common shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting.
The Board of Directors of Croghan has called a special meeting of its shareholders to vote on the adoption of the merger agreement and the approval of transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger of Indebancorp with and into Croghan and the issuance of common shares of Croghan to shareholders of Indebancorp in the merger. The time, date and place of the Croghan special meeting are as follows:1:00 p.m., local time, on November 19, 2013, at Croghan’s Main Office (3rd Floor Board Room) located at 323 Croghan Street, Fremont, Ohio 43420. The adoption of the merger agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated thereby by the shareholders of Croghan requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at leasttwo-thirds (2/3) of the Croghan common shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, the shareholders of Indebancorp will be entitled to elect to receive after the merger is completed, either:
| • | | Croghan common shares at the exchange rate of 1.63 Croghan common shares for each Indebancorp common share, |
| • | | cash in the amount of $55.00 for each Indebancorp common share, or |
| • | | a combination of Croghan common shares and cash. |
The election by each Indebancorp shareholder will be subject to the election and allocation procedures set forth in the merger agreement. Subject to adjustment for cash paid in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares, the requests of the Indebancorp shareholders will be allocated on apro-rata basis so that 70% of the Indebancorp common shares outstanding at the effective time of the merger will be exchanged for Croghan common shares and 30% of the outstanding Indebancorp common shares will be exchanged for cash. For purposes of this allocation, shareholders of Indebancorp who exercise dissenters’ rights will be treated as having elected to receive all cash for their Indebancorp common shares. As of September 27, 2013, 519,082 common shares of Indebancorp were outstanding.
The Croghan common shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCQB) under the symbol “CHBH”. On September 25, 2013, the last practicable trading day for which information was available prior to the date of this prospectus/proxy statement, the closing sale price of the Croghan common shares as reported on OTCQB was $34.60 per share. Based on that price, 1.63 Croghan common shares would be valued at $56.40. Following the merger, Croghan shareholders will continue to own their existing Croghan common shares.
An investment in the common shares of Croghan involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks, see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 13 of this prospectus/proxy statement.

Questions and Answers About the Merger and the Special Meetings
Q. | Why am I receiving this prospectus/proxy statement? |
A: | You are receiving this prospectus/proxy statement because Croghan and Indebancorp have agreed to a merger of Indebancorp with and into Croghan pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement attached to this prospectus/proxy statement as Annex A. The merger requires the approval of the shareholders of both Croghan and Indebancorp. |
In order to complete the merger, Croghan and Indebancorp will hold separate meetings of shareholders to obtain shareholder approval of the following respective proposals:
| • | | Croghan shareholders must adopt the merger agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger of Indebancorp with and into Croghan and the issuance of common shares of Croghan to shareholders of Indebancorp in the merger. Shareholder approval is required under Section 1701.78 of the Ohio Revised Code because the issuance of Croghan common shares to Indebancorp shareholders in the merger will entitle such shareholders immediately after the consummation of the merger to exerciseone-sixth or more of the voting power of Croghan in the election of directors. |
| • | | Indebancorp shareholders must adopt the merger agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby. Shareholder approval is required under Section 1701.78 of the Ohio Revised Code because Indebancorp will not be the surviving corporation in the merger. |
This prospectus/proxy statement contains important information about the merger and the respective meetings of the shareholders of Croghan and Indebancorp, and you should read it carefully. The enclosed voting materials allow you to vote your common shares without attending your respective shareholders’ meeting.
Q. | Why are Croghan and Indebancorp proposing to merge? |
A: | Indebancorp believes that the merger is in the best interests of its shareholders and other constituencies because, among other reasons, the merger consideration will provide enhanced value and increased liquidity to Indebancorp shareholders. Furthermore, as a result of the merger, Indebancorp will become part of a larger community banking institution which will have an improved ability to compete with larger financial institutions and better serve its customers’ needs. |
Croghan believes that the merger will benefit Croghan and its shareholders because the merger will enable Croghan to expand its business into the markets currently served by Indebancorp and strengthen the competitive position of the combined organization. Furthermore, Croghan’s increased asset size after the merger will, Croghan hopes, create additional economies of scale and provide additional opportunities for asset and earnings growth in an extremely competitive environment.
Q: | What will Indebancorp shareholders receive in the merger? |
A: | Under the terms of the merger agreement, the shareholders of Indebancorp will be entitled to elect to receive, upon consummation of the merger and in exchange for each Indebancorp common share owned, either: |
| • | | Croghan common shares at the exchange rate of 1.63 Croghan common shares for each Indebancorp common share, |
| • | | cash in the amount of $55.00 for each Indebancorp common share, |
| • | | a combination of cash and Croghan common shares. |

A: | Yes.

Q: | Will Indebancorp shareholders receive the form of consideration they elect to receive? |
A: | Not necessarily, unless an Indebancorp shareholder elects to receive a combination of cash and Croghan common shares. There are allocation procedures set forth in the merger agreement to ensure that, subject to adjustment for cash paid in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares, 70% of the Indebancorp common shares outstanding at the effective time of the merger will be exchanged for Croghan common shares and 30% of the outstanding Indebancorp common shares will be exchanged for cash. If the elections by Indebancorp shareholders do not result in the required ratio of cash and stock consideration, then Indebancorp shareholders who elect the “all cash” or the “all stock” form of consideration may receive a combination of cash and Croghan common shares. |

Croghan is a bank holding company organized and existing under the laws of the State of Ohio. Through its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, The Croghan Colonial Bank (“Croghan Colonial Bank”), Croghan is primarily engaged in the business of community banking. Croghan Colonial Bank conducts a general banking business embracing the usual functions of commercial, retail, and savings banking, including time, savings, money market and demand deposits; commercial, industrial, agricultural, real estate, consumer installment, and credit card lending; safe deposit box rental; automatic teller machines; trust department services; and other services tailored for individual customers. Croghan Colonial Bank operates 13 Ohio branch offices, including one in Bellevue, one in Clyde, one in Custar, four in Fremont, one in Green Springs, one in Monroeville, one in Norwalk, one in Port Clinton, and two in Tiffin.
At June 30, 2013, Croghan had total consolidated assets of $615 million, total deposits of $519 million, total (net) loans of $317 million, and total shareholders’ equity of $64 million.
Effective as of March 27, 2013, Croghan suspended its obligation to file reports, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Because the common shares of Croghan to be issued to shareholders of Indebancorp in the merger are being registered with the SEC pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4, Croghan will be required to recommence filing reports with the SEC under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act beginning with the filing of a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending September 30, 2013. Croghan’s obligation to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act will continue through the filing of a Form 10-K for the fiscal year in which the Registration Statement on Form S-4 is amended to deregister any shares not issued in connection with the merger (currently anticipated to be 2013) and will then automatically terminate if Croghan has fewer than 1,200 holders of record as of the first day of the fiscal year in which the Form 10-K is filed. Croghan expects that the number of record holders of its common shares will continue to be less than 1,200 following the closing of the merger and the issuance of its common shares to shareholders of Indebancorp in the merger. As a result, Croghan anticipates that it will be eligible to suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act following the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. See “Information With Respect to Croghan –Description of Croghan’s Business – Termination and Suspension of SEC Reporting Obligations” beginning on page 87 of this prospectus/proxy statement.
On August 7, 2013, Croghan Colonial Bank announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell its Custar, Ohio branch, including the loans and deposit liabilities of the branch, to Farmers & Merchants State Bank, headquartered in Archbold, Ohio. The Custar, Ohio branch had approximately $29.5 million in deposits as of August 6, 2013. Subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions, the branch sale is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2013.

The merger (page 52)
The merger agreement provides for the merger of Indebancorp with and into Croghan, with Croghan surviving the merger. Immediately following the merger, Indebancorp’s wholly-owned banking subsidiary, National Bank of Ohio, will be merged with and into Croghan’s wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Croghan Colonial Bank. The merger agreement is attached to this prospectus/proxy statement as Annex A and is incorporated in this prospectus/proxy statement by reference.We encourage you to read the merger agreement carefully, as it is the legal document that governs the merger.
What Indebancorp shareholders will receive in the merger (page 53)
Under the terms of the merger agreement, the shareholders of Indebancorp will be entitled to elect to receive, upon consummation of the merger and in exchange for the Indebancorp common shares they own, either (a) Croghan common shares at the exchange rate of 1.63 Croghan common shares for each Indebancorp common share, (b) cash in the amount of $55.00 for each Indebancorp common share, or (c) a combination of cash and Croghan common shares, subject to the election and allocation procedures set forth in the merger agreement. Subject to adjustment for cash paid in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares, the elections of the Indebancorp shareholders will be allocated so that 70% of the Indebancorp common shares outstanding at the effective time of the merger will be exchanged for Croghan common shares and 30% of the outstanding Indebancorp common shares will be exchanged for cash. For purposes of this allocation, shareholders of Indebancorp who exercise dissenters’ rights will be treated as having elected to receive cash consideration for their Indebancorp common shares.
Election procedures (page 53)
You may elect to receive, in exchange for your Indebancorp common shares, any of the following:
| • | | all Croghan common shares; |
- 7 -
| • | | Croghan common shares in exchange for 70% of your Indebancorp common shares and cash in exchange for 30% of your Indebancorp common shares. |
However, your election will be subject to the allocation procedures set forth in the merger agreement and described above. If the elections by Indebancorp shareholders do not result in the required ratio of cash and stock consideration, certain procedures for allocating cash and Croghan common shares will be followed as set forth in the merger agreement. As a result, you cannot be assured of receiving the form of consideration that you elect with respect to all of your Indebancorp common shares, unless you elect to receive cash in exchange for 30% of your Indebancorp common shares and Croghan common shares in exchange for 70% of your Indebancorp common shares. See “The Merger Agreement – Allocation” beginning on page 54 of this prospectus/proxy statement.
If you do not make a valid election by the election deadline, you will receive either all cash, all Croghan common shares or a combination of cash and Croghan common shares, as determined in accordance with the merger agreement.
Prior to the special meeting of Indebancorp shareholders, you will receive an Election Form with instructions for making your election as to the form of consideration that you wish to receive and for surrendering your Indebancorp share certificates to the exchange agent. Registrar and Transfer Company will serve as the exchange agent for the transaction. The procedures and deadline for making your election will be set forth in the Election Form and are described under the heading “The Merger Agreement – Election procedures” beginning on page 53 of this prospectus/proxy statement.

also be included as nominees for election to the Board of Directors of Croghan for an additional term. As of the date of this prospectus/proxy statement, the Board of Directors of Croghan had not yet selected the Indebancorp directors who will serve on the Boards of Directors of Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank upon the completion of the merger.
Material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger (page 47)
We intend that the merger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), and that, accordingly, for federal income tax purposes (i) no gain or loss will be recognized by Croghan or Indebancorp as a result of the merger, and (ii) Indebancorp shareholders who receive Croghan common shares in exchange for Indebancorp common shares in the merger will recognize no gain or loss, other than the gain or loss to be recognized as to cash received either (a) as a result of the election and allocation method, or (b) in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares. The obligation of Croghan and Indebancorp to consummate the merger is conditioned on the receipt by Croghan of an opinion of Croghan’s counsel, Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP, and the receipt by Indebancorp of an opinion of Indebancorp’s counsel, Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick LLP, each dated as of the effective date of the merger and substantially to the effect that the federal income tax consequences of the merger will be as described above.
Indebancorp shareholders who exercise dissenters’ rights and receive cash for their Indebancorp common shares generally will recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.
Indebancorp shareholders are urged to read the discussion in the section entitled “The Proposed Merger – Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page 47 of this prospectus/proxy statement and to consult their tax advisors for a full explanation of the tax consequences of the merger.
Interests of directors and executive officers of Indebancorp (page 45)
Some of the directors and executive officers of Indebancorp have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Indebancorp shareholders generally. These interests include the right of certain Indebancorp directors and executive officers to receive payments or other benefits under salary continuation and director retirement agreements in connection with the merger. In general, as a result of the merger, certain benefits under these agreements that are vested will be accelerated and paid at closing or the interest of the participant will become otherwise vested. In addition, Croghan has agreed to indemnify each director and officer of Indebancorp for a period of six years following the merger and to purchase a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering Indebancorp directors and officers for a period of six years following the merger, in each case subject to certain limitations set forth in the merger agreement. Finally, two current Indebancorp directors will be selected by Croghan to serve on the Boards of Directors of Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank following completion of the merger.
The Indebancorp Board of Directors was aware of these interests and considered them in approving the merger agreement and the merger.
Resale of Croghan common shares (page 50)
Croghan has registered the Croghan common shares to be issued to Indebancorp shareholders in the merger with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). No restrictions on the sale or other transfer of the Croghan common shares issued pursuant to the merger will be imposed solely as a result of the merger, except for restrictions on the transfer of Croghan common shares issued to any Indebancorp shareholder who may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of Indebancorp for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act.
- 11 -
Termination of the merger agreement (page 62)
Croghan and Indebancorp may mutually agree to terminate the merger agreement and abandon the merger at any time before the merger is effective, whether before or after shareholder approval, if the Board of Directors of each approves the termination by vote of a majority of the members of its entire Board.
Either Croghan or Indebancorp acting alone upon written notice to the other party may terminate the merger agreement and abandon the merger at any time before the merger is effective, if the Board of Directors of either company approves the termination by vote of a majority of the members of its Board in the following circumstances:
| • | | if there is a material breach by the other party that cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days of notice of the breach; |
| • | | if the merger has not been consummated by December 31, 2013, unless the failure to complete the merger by that date is due to the knowing action or inaction of the party seeking to terminate the merger agreement, except that such date shall be extended until March 31, 2014 if the parties have not obtained all necessary regulatory approvals by December 31, 2013; |
| • | | if any of the required regulatory approvals is denied by final nonappealable action; or |
| • | | if the Indebancorp shareholders or the Croghan shareholders fail to adopt and approve the merger agreement at their special meetings. |
The merger agreement will automatically terminate if Indebancorp or its subsidiary executes a definitive agreement in respect of, or closes, any acquisition or purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of Indebancorp and/or its subsidiary or any merger, consolidation or business combination business with Indebancorp or its subsidiary. The merger agreement will also automatically terminate if Croghan does not elect to increase the share exchange ratio to the extent necessary to enable legal counsel to render the tax opinions required under the merger agreement.
Indebancorp may terminate the merger agreement if both the average Croghan share price is less than $26.00, as adjusted, and the Croghan share price has declined as a percentage of $34.38 by more than 20% from the decline, if any, in the SNL Bank and Thrift Index over the applicable measuring period, and Croghan elects not to distribute to Indebancorp shareholders an additional number of Croghan common shares necessary in order to increase the share exchange ratio to a specified level. If Croghan elects not to distribute such shares, the Indebancorp Board of Directors will determine, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, whether to terminate the merger agreement or to waive its right to terminate and proceed with the merger.
Dissenters’ rights (page 29)
Under Ohio law, if, as a shareholder of Indebancorp or Croghan, you do not vote in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement and deliver a written demand for payment for the fair cash value of your Indebancorp or Croghan common shares before the vote is taken on the adoption of the merger agreement at the November 19, 2013 Indebancorp special meeting or the November 19, 2013 Croghan special meeting, as appropriate, you will be entitled, if and when the merger is completed, to receive the fair cash value of your Indebancorp common shares or Croghan common shares. The right to make this demand is known as “dissenters’ rights.” Under Ohio law, you are not required to vote against the adoption of the merger agreement in order to preserve your dissenters’ rights, so long as you do not vote in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement. Your right to receive the fair cash value of your Indebancorp common shares or Croghan common shares, however, is contingent upon your strict compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 1701.85 of the Ohio Revised Code. For additional information regarding your dissenters’ rights, see “Dissenters’ Rights” on page 29 of this prospectus/proxy statement and the complete text of Section 1701.85 of the Ohio Revised Code attached to this prospectus/proxy statement as Annex B.

Risk Factors
The merger and the acquisition of Croghan common shares involve significant risks. In addition to the other information included in this prospectus/proxy statement, you should consider carefully the risk factors described below in deciding whether to vote to adopt and approve the merger agreement.
Risks Related to the Merger
Indebancorp shareholders cannot be sure of the market value of the Croghan common shares they receive in the merger due to fluctuations in the market price of the Croghan common shares prior to and following the merger.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, the shareholders of Indebancorp will be entitled to elect to receive, in exchange for the Indebancorp common shares that they own, either (a) Croghan common shares at the exchange ratio of 1.63 Croghan common shares for each Indebancorp common share owned, (b) cash in the amount of $55.00 for each Indebancorp common share owned, or (c) a combination of cash and Croghan common shares. Except in certain limited circumstances described in the merger agreement, the share exchange ratio (1.63 Croghan common shares for each Indebancorp common share owned) will not be adjusted in the event of an increase or decrease in the market price of Croghan common shares.
Pursuant to the merger agreement, Indebancorp may, but is not obligated to, terminate the merger agreement if both the average Croghan share price is less than $26.00, as adjusted (the “Croghan Reference Price”), and the Croghan share price has declined as a percentage of $34.38 by more than 20% from the decline, if any, in the SNL Bank and Thrift Index over the period beginning on the date of the execution of the merger agreement and ending on the trading day immediately preceding the fifth trading day prior to the effective day of the merger agreement. However, Indebancorp may not terminate the merger agreement if Croghan then offers to distribute to Indebancorp shareholders an additional number of Croghan common shares necessary in order to increase the share exchange ratio such that the product of the Share Exchange Ratio multiplied by the Croghan Reference Price equals or exceeds $42.38. If, in such case, Croghan elects not to distribute such additional Croghan common shares, the Indebancorp Board of Directors will determine, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, whether to terminate the merger agreement or to waive its right to terminate and proceed with the merger. There can be no assurance that the Indebancorp Board of Directors would elect to terminate or not to terminate the merger agreement under such circumstances.
On September 25, 2013, the last practicable trading day for which information was available prior to the date of this prospectus/proxy statement, the closing sale price for Croghan common shares was $34.60. Based on that price and an exchange ratio of 1.63, the equivalent price of an Indebancorp common share would be $56.40.
The market price of the Croghan common shares may decrease following the fifth trading day prior to the effective date of the merger, and prior to the closing of the merger. Furthermore, you will not receive your merger consideration until several days after the closing of the merger, and the market price of the Croghan common shares may decrease during the post-closing period prior to the date that you actually receive your merger consideration. During this period, you will not be able to sell any of the Croghan common shares that you may be entitled to receive in the merger to avoid losses resulting from any decline in the market price of the Croghan common shares.
Indebancorp shareholders may receive a form of consideration different from the form of consideration they elect.
Although Indebancorp shareholders will have an opportunity to elect the form of consideration they wish to receive in the merger, their elections will be subject to the allocation procedures set forth in the merger
agreement to ensure that, subject to adjustment for cash paid in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares, 70%
- 13 -
of the outstanding Indebancorp common shares will be exchanged for Croghan common shares and 30% of the outstanding Indebancorp common shares will be exchanged for cash, subject to certain procedures described on page 53.
If an Indebancorp shareholder elects to receive all cash and the available cash is oversubscribed, then the shareholder will receive a portion of the merger consideration in the form of Croghan common shares. Similarly, if an Indebancorp shareholder elects to receive all Croghan common shares and the available Croghan common shares are oversubscribed, then the shareholder will receive a portion of the merger consideration in cash.
Croghan may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the merger
The success of the merger will depend, in part, on Croghan’s ability to (i) realize the anticipated benefits and cost savings from combining the businesses of Croghan and Indebancorp and (ii) combine the businesses of Croghan and Indebancorp in a manner that permits growth opportunities and cost savings to be realized without materially disrupting the existing customer relationships of Croghan nor decreasing revenues due to loss of customers. However, to realize these anticipated benefits and cost savings, Croghan must successfully combine the businesses of Croghan and Indebancorp. If Croghan is not able to achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected.
Croghan and Indebancorp have operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate, independently. It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect the combined company’s ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger. Integration efforts between the two companies will also require significant management attention and resources that will not be available for normal operations. In addition, the merger and integration will result in Croghan entering markets where it does not currently have a meaningful presence and could result in deposit and other customer losses.
Croghan could experience difficulties in managing its growth and effectively integrating the operations of Indebancorp and its subsidiaries.
The earnings, financial condition and prospects of Croghan after the merger will depend in part on Croghan’ ability to integrate successfully the operations of Indebancorp and its subsidiaries and to continue to implement its own business plan. Croghan may not be able to achieve fully the strategic objectives and operating efficiencies in the merger. The costs or difficulties relating to the integration of Indebancorp and its subsidiaries with the Croghan organization may be greater than expected or the cost savings from any anticipated economies of scale of the combined organization may be lower or take longer to realize than expected. Inherent uncertainties exist in integrating the operations of any acquired entity. In addition, the markets and industries in which Croghan and Indebancorp and their respective subsidiaries operate are highly competitive. Croghan may lose its customers or the customers of Indebancorp and its subsidiaries as a result of the merger. Croghan may also lose key personnel, either from itself or from Indebancorp and its subsidiaries, as a result of the merger. These factors could contribute to Croghan not fully achieving the expected benefits from the merger.
The merger agreement limits Indebancorp’s ability to pursue alternatives to the merger with Croghan, may discourage other acquirers from offering a higher valued transaction to Indebancorp and may, therefore, result in less value for the Indebancorp shareholders.
The merger agreement contains a provision that, subject to certain limited exceptions, prohibits Indebancorp from discussing, negotiating or committing to a competing third-party proposal to acquire Indebancorp or one of its subsidiaries. In addition, if Indebancorp would enter into or complete a transaction with a third-party, Indebancorp may be required to pay a $1,140,000 termination fee to Croghan. These merger agreement
- 14 -
provisions could discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring Indebancorp, even if it were prepared to pay a higher per share price than proposed in the merger.
The fairness opinions obtained by Indebancorp and Croghan from their respective financial advisors will not reflect changes in circumstances prior to the merger.
Austin Associates, LLC (“Austin”), the financial advisor to Indebancorp, delivered a fairness opinion to the Board of Directors of Indebancorp on June 20, 2013. The Austin fairness opinion states that, as of the date of the opinion, the merger consideration set forth in the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Indebancorp shareholders. Sterne Agee, the financial advisor to Croghan, delivered a fairness opinion to the Board of Directors of Croghan on June 20, 2013. The Sterne Agee fairness opinion states that, as of the date of the opinion, the consideration to be paid by Croghan pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to Croghan. The respective fairness opinions do not reflect changes that may occur or may have occurred after the date on which they were delivered, including changes to the operations and prospects of Croghan or Indebancorp, changes in general market and economic conditions, or other factors. Any such changes, or other factors on which the fairness opinions are based, may alter the relative value of Croghan and Indebancorp.
The merger may not result in increased liquidity for Indebancorp shareholders because a limited trading market exists for Croghan’ common shares.
From January 1, 2013 to September 25, 2013, the average daily trading volume for Croghan’ common shares has been 352.97 shares per day. While this volume is greater than the trading in Indebancorp common shares during the same period, the merger may not result in an increase in the trading volume of Croghan’ common shares. The limited trading market for Croghan’ common shares may lead to price volatility in excess of that which would occur in a more active trading market. In addition, even if a more active trading market in Croghan’ common shares develops, such a market may not continue.
Risks Related to Croghan’s Business
Changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on Croghan’s financial condition and results of operations.
Croghan’s operating results are dependent to a significant degree on the difference between the interest rates earned on interest-earning assets such as loans and investment securities, and the interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowings. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors beyond Croghan’s control, including general economic conditions, and the policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities (in particular, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FRB”)). Changes in interest rates will influence the demand for loans, the prepayment of loans, the purchase of investments, the generation of deposits, and the rates received on loans and investment securities and paid on deposits and borrowings, and these changes could have a material adverse effect on Croghan’s financial condition and results of operations. The impact of these changes may be magnified if Croghan does not effectively manage the relative sensitivity of its assets and liabilities to changes in market interest rates.
Changes in economic and political conditions could adversely affect Croghan’s financial condition and results of operations.
Croghan’s success depends, to a significant extent, upon economic and political conditions, local and national, as well as governmental fiscal and monetary policies. Conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment, change in interest rates, money supply, and other factors beyond Croghan’s control may adversely affect its asset quality, deposit levels, and loan demand and, therefore, its earnings. Because Croghan has a significant amount of real estate loans, further decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral. Adverse changes in the economy may also have a negative effect on the ability of Croghan’s borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans, which would have an adverse impact on Croghan’s earnings. In addition, a substantial portion of Croghan’s loans are to individuals and businesses
- 15 -
located in Northwest Ohio. Consequently, a significant continued decline in the economy of this market area could have a materially adverse effect on Croghan’s financial condition and results of operations.
Croghan’s loan portfolio is concentrated in Northwestern Ohio, and changes in the economic conditions and real estate valuations in this market area could adversely impact results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Croghan’s lending and deposit gathering activities are concentrated in Huron, Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca and Wood Counties in Nortwestern Ohio. Because the lending and deposit gathering activities of Indebancorp are also concentrated in Northwestern Ohio, primarily in Ottawa County, the merger will not result in any material geographic diversification of Croghan’s loan portfolio or deposit markets. Croghan’s success has and will continue to depend on the general economic conditions in Northwestern Ohio, particularly given that a significant portion of both Croghan’s and Indebancorp’s lending relates to real estate located in this area. Real estate values in these Ohio communities have been negatively impacted by the recent economic crisis. Although there has been some improvement recently in some economic measures, including home prices and unemployment rates in Ohio, adverse changes in the economic conditions in the Northwestern Ohio markets could impair Croghan’s ability to collect payments on loans, increase loan delinquencies, increase problem assets and foreclosures, increase claims and lawsuits, increase devaluations recognized within Croghan’s OREO portfolio, decrease the demand for Croghan’s products and services and decrease the value of collateral for loans, especially real estate values, which could have a material adverse effect on Croghan’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
If actual loan losses exceed the allowance for loan losses, Croghan’s net income will decrease.
Croghan maintains an allowance for loan losses based upon a number of relevant factors, including, but not limited to, trends in the level of nonperforming assets and classified loans, current economic conditions in the primary lending area, past loss experience, possible losses arising from specific problem loans, and changes in the composition of the loan portfolio. Regular provisions are made in amounts sufficient to maintain the balance in the allowance for loan losses at a level considered by management to be adequate for losses within the portfolio. While Croghan’s management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the allowance for loan losses, unforeseen market conditions could result in material adjustments, and net earnings could be significantly adversely affected, if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions and estimates used by management to determine the allowance for loan losses.
FDIC insurance premiums may increase materially, which would negatively affect Croghan’s net income.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures deposits at FDIC-insured financial institutions, including Croghan Colonial Bank. The FDIC charges insured financial institutions premiums to maintain the Deposit Insurance Fund at a certain level. The costs of resolving bank failures have increased during the last few years and decreased the Deposit Insurance Fund. The FDIC collected a special assessment in 2009 to replenish the Deposit Insurance Fund and also required a prepayment of an estimated amount of future deposit insurance premiums. If the costs of future bank failures increase, deposit insurance premiums may also increase.
Croghan’s businesses have been and may continue to be adversely affected by conditions in the financial markets and economic conditions generally.
The capital and credit markets have been experiencing unprecedented levels of volatility since 2008. As a consequence of the U.S. economic recession, business activity across a wide range of industries has faced serious difficulties due to the lack of consumer spending and the extreme lack of liquidity in the global credit markets. Unemployment has also increased significantly. A sustained weakness or weakening in business and economic conditions generally or specifically in the markets in which Croghan does business could have one or more of the following adverse effects on its businesses:
| • | | A decrease in the demand for loans and other products and services offered by Croghan |
| • | | An impairment of certain intangible assets, such as goodwill |
- 16 -
| • | | An increase in the number of clients who become delinquent, file for protection under bankruptcy laws or default on their loans or other obligations to Croghan. An increase in the number of delinquencies, bankruptcies or defaults could result in a higher level of nonperforming assets, net charge-offs, provision for loan losses, and valuation adjustments on loans held for sale. |
Legislative or regulatory changes or actions could adversely impact Croghan’s business.
The financial services industry is extensively regulated. Banking laws and regulations are primarily intended for the protection of consumers, depositors and the deposit insurance fund, not to benefit our shareholders. Changes to laws and regulations or other actions by regulatory agencies may negatively impact Croghan, possibly limiting the services it provides, increasing the ability ofnon-banks to compete with it, or requiring it to change the way it operates. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the ability to impose restrictions on the operation of an institution and the ability to determine the adequacy of an institution’s allowance for loan losses. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and policies could result in sanctions being imposed by the regulatory agencies, including the imposition of civil money penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on Croghan’s operations and financial condition.
In light of current conditions in the global financial markets and the global economy, regulators have increased their focus on the regulation of the financial services industry. Recently, Congress and the federal bank regulators have acted on an unprecedented scale in responding to the stresses experienced in the global financial markets. Some of the laws enacted by Congress and regulations promulgated by federal bank regulators subject Croghan, and other financial institutions, to additional restrictions, oversight and costs that may have an impact on Croghan’s business and results of operations.
The Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law on July 21, 2010 and, although it became generally effective in July 2010, many of its provisions have extended implementation periods and delayed effective dates and will require extensive rulemaking by regulatory authorities. The Dodd-Frank Act, including future rules implementing its provisions and the interpretation of those rules, could result in a number of adverse impacts. The levels of capital and liquidity with which Croghan must operate may be subject to more stringent capital requirements. In addition, Croghan may be subjected to higher deposit insurance premiums to the FDIC. Croghan may also be subject to additional regulations under the newly established Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which was given broad authority to implement new consumer protection regulations. These and other provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act may place significant additional costs on Croghan, impede its growth opportunities and place it at a competitive disadvantage.
Croghan may not be able to pay dividends in the future in accordance with past practice.
As a bank holding company, Croghan’s principal source of funds to pay dividends on its common shares is dividends from Croghan Colonial Bank. In the event that Croghan Colonial Bank is unable to pay dividends, Croghan may not be able to pay dividends on its common shares.
The ability of Croghan Colonial Bank to pay dividends to Croghan is subject to various legal limitations and to prudent and sound banking principles. Generally, subject to certain minimum capital requirements, Croghan Colonial Bank may declare a dividend without the approval of the Division of Financial Institutions of the Ohio Department of Commerce (the “Division”), unless the total dividends in a calendar year exceed the total of Croghan Colonial Bank’s net profits for the year combined with Croghan Colonial Bank’s retained profits of the two preceding years. In the event that Croghan Colonial Bank is unable to pay dividends, Croghan in turn would likely have to reduce or stop paying dividends on its common shares. Croghan’s failure to pay dividends on its common shares could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on the market price of Croghan’s common shares.

Croghan’s credit standards andon-going process of credit assessment might not protect it from significant credit losses.
Croghan takes credit risk by virtue of making loans. Croghan’s exposure to credit risk is managed through the use of consistent and conservative underwriting standards. Croghan’s credit administration function employs risk management techniques to ensure that loans adhere to corporate policy and problem loans are promptly identified. While these procedures are designed to provide Croghan with the information needed to implement policy adjustments where necessary, and to take proactive corrective actions, there can be no assurance that such measures will be effective in avoiding undue credit risk.
Croghan depends upon the accuracy and completeness of information about customers.
In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions with customers, Croghan may rely on information provided by customers, including financial statements and other financial information. Croghan may also rely on representations of customers as to the accuracy and completeness of that information and, with respect to financial statements, on reports of independent accountants. For example, in deciding whether to extend credit to a business, Croghan may assume that the customer’s financial statements conform with generally accepted accounting principles and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the customer. Croghan may also rely on the reports of accounting firms issuing an opinion or other assurances on those financial statements. Croghan’s financial condition and results of operation could be negatively impacted to the extent it relies on financial statements that do not comply with generally accepted accounting principles or that are materially misleading.
Croghan may elect or be compelled to seek additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed.
Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank are required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support their operations. If Croghan Colonial Bank experiences increased loan losses, additional capital may need to be infused. In addition, Croghan may elect to raise additional capital to support its business or to finance acquisitions, or it may otherwise elect or be required to raise additional capital. Croghan’s ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on its financial performance, conditions in the capital markets, economic conditions and a number of other factors, many of which are outside its control. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that Croghan can raise additional capital if needed or on acceptable terms. If Croghan cannot raise additional capital when needed, it may have a material adverse effect on Croghan’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, Croghan’s issuance of additional common shares, preferred shares or other equity securities to raise additional capital may have a dilutive effect on our existing shareholders and could lead to a decline in the price of our common shares.
Croghan operates in an extremely competitive market, and Croghan will suffer if it is unable to compete effectively.
In Croghan’s market area, it encounters significant competition from other commercial banks, as well as from savings and loan associations, credit unions, brokerage firms, mutual funds, and loan production offices and other financial units ofnon-local bank holding companies. The increasingly competitive environment is a result primarily of changes in regulation, changes in technology, product delivery systems, and the accelerating pace of consolidation among financial service providers. Many of Croghan’s competitors have substantially greater resources and lending limits than it does and may offer services that it does not or cannot provide. Croghan’s ability to maintain its history of strong financial performance will depend in part on its continued ability to compete successfully in its market area and on its ability to expand its scope of available financial services as needed to meet the needs and demands of its customers.

There is a limited trading market for Croghan common shares, and thus the ability to sell or purchase Croghan common shares may be limited.
The ability to sell Croghan common shares or purchase additional Croghan common shares largely depends upon the existence of an active market for Croghan common shares. Although Croghan common shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, they are not listed on any securities exchange and the volume of trading of Croghan common shares has been limited historically. As a result, it may be difficult to sell or purchase Croghan common shares at the volume, time, and price that is desired. In addition, a fair valuation of the purchase or sales price of Croghan common shares also depends upon an active trading market, and thus the price received for a thinly traded stock, such as Croghan common shares, may not reflect its true value.
Changes in accounting standards could impact Croghan’s results of operations.
The accounting standard setters, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC, and other regulatory bodies, periodically change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of Croghan’s consolidated financial statements. These changes can be difficult to predict and can materially affect how Croghan records and reports its financial condition and results of operations. In some cases, Croghan could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, which would result in the restatement of its financial statements for prior periods.
Changes in tax laws could adversely affect Croghan’s results of operations
Croghan is subject to extensive federal, state and local taxes, including income, excise, sales/use, payroll, franchise, withholding and ad valorem taxes. Changes to Croghan’s taxes could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations. In addition, Croghan’s customers are subject to a wide variety of federal, state and local taxes. Changes in taxes paid by Croghan’s customers may adversely affect their ability to purchase homes or consumer products, which could adversely affect their demand for loans and deposit products. In addition, such negative effects on Croghan’s customers could result in defaults on the loans made by Croghan Colonial Bank and decrease the value of mortgage-backed securities in which Croghan Colonial Bank has invested.
Croghan relies heavily on its management team, and the unexpected loss of key management may adversely affect its business and financial results.
Croghan’s success to date has been strongly influenced by its ability to attract and to retain senior management experienced in banking in the markets that Croghan serves. Croghan’s ability to retain executive officers and the current management team will continue to be important to successful implementation of its strategies. The unexpected loss of services of any key management personnel, or the inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel in the future, could have an adverse effect on Croghan’s business and financial results.
Croghan must stay current on technological changes in order to compete effectively and meet customer demands.
The financial services market, including banking services, is undergoing rapid changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to better serving customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and may enable Croghan to reduce costs. Croghan’s future success will depend, in part, on its ability to use technology to provide products and services that provide convenience to customers and to create additional efficiencies in its operations. Some of Croghan’s competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. Croghan may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to its customers.
Croghan’s information systems may experience an interruption or security breach.
Croghan relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct its business. Any failure, interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in Croghan’s customer
- 19 -
relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan and other systems. While Croghan has policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the possible failure, interruption or security breach of its information systems, there can be no assurance that any such failure, interruption or security breach will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. The occurrence of any failure, interruption or security breach of Croghan’s information systems could damage Croghan’s reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject Croghan to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose Croghan to civil litigation and possible financial liability.
Croghan may be the subject of litigation which could result in legal liability and damage to its business and reputation.
From time to time, Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank may be subject to claims or legal action from customers, employees or others. Financial institutions like Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank are facing a growing number of significant class actions, including those based on the manner of calculation of interest on loans and the assessment of overdraft fees. Future litigation could include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages. Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank are also involved from time to time in other reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by governmental and other agencies regarding their businesses. These matters also could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief. Like other financial institutions, Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank are also subject to risk from potential employee misconduct, includingnon-compliance with policies and improper use or disclosure of confidential information. Substantial legal liability or significant regulatory action against Croghan could materially adversely affect its business, financial condition or results of operations and/or cause significant reputational harm to its business.
The effect of changes to the healthcare laws in the United States may increase the number of employees who choose to participate in Croghan’s healthcare plans, which may significantly increase Croghan’s healthcare costs and negatively impact financial results.
Croghan offer healthcare coverage to its eligible employees with part of the cost subsidized by the company. With recent changes to the healthcare laws in the United States becoming effective in 2014, more of Croghan’s employees may choose to participate in Croghan’s health insurance plans, which could increase Croghan’s costs for such coverage and material adversely impact Croghan’s costs of operations.

Comparative Per Share Data
The following table sets forth for Croghan and Indebancorp certain historical, pro forma and pro forma-equivalent per share financial information. The information is derived from and should be read together with the respective historical consolidated financial statements of Croghan and Indebancorp that appear elsewhere in this prospectus/proxy statement. While helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, the pro forma data does not reflect certain anticipated costs and benefits of the merger and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had the merger been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented. The pro forma data gives effect to the merger and is based on numerous assumptions and estimates. The pro forma combined per share data and Indebancorp equivalent pro forma per
- 23 -
share data are prepared assuming 592,272 Croghan common shares will be issued in the merger based on the exchange ratio of 1.63. See “The Merger Agreement – Conversion of Indebancorp common shares” on page 53.

Votes required; quorum

Dissenters’ Rights
Rights of dissenting Croghan shareholders
Croghan shareholders are entitled to certain dissenters’ rights pursuant to Sections 1701.78, 1701.84 and 1701.85 of the Ohio Revised Code. Section 1701.85 generally provides that shareholders of Croghan will not be entitled to such rights without strict compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 1701.85 and failure to take any one of the required steps may result in the termination or waiver of such rights. Specifically, any Croghan shareholder who is a record holder of Croghan common shares on the September 27, 2013, record date for the Croghan special meeting and whose shares are not voted in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement may be entitled to be paid the “fair cash value” of such Croghan common shares after the effective time of the merger. Under Ohio law, you are not required to vote against the adoption of the merger agreement in order to preserve your dissenters’ rights, so long as you do not vote in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement. To be entitled to payment of the fair cash value of his or her Croghan common shares, a shareholder must deliver a written demand for payment to Croghan before the vote on the adoption of the merger is taken at the November 19, 2013 Croghan special meeting and must otherwise comply with Section 1701.85. Any written demand must specify the shareholder’s name and address, the number and class of shares held by him or her on the Croghan record date, and the amount claimed as the “fair cash value” of such Croghan common shares. See the text of Section 1701.85 of the Ohio Revised Code attached as Annex B to this prospectus/proxy statement for specific information on the procedures to be followed in exercising dissenters’ rights.
If Croghan so requests, dissenting shareholders must submit their share certificates to Croghan within 15 days of such request, for endorsement on such certificates by Croghan that demand for appraisal has been made. Failure to comply with such request will terminate the dissenting shareholders’ rights. Such certificates will be promptly returned to the dissenting shareholders by Croghan. If Croghan and any dissenting shareholder cannot agree upon the “fair cash value” of the Croghan common shares, either may, within three months after service of demand by the shareholder, file a petition in the Court of Common Pleas of Sandusky County, Ohio, for a determination of the “fair cash value” of such dissenting shareholder’s Croghan common shares. The fair cash value of a Croghan common share to which a dissenting shareholder is entitled under Section 1701.85 will be determined as of the day prior to the special meeting. The court may appoint one or more appraisers to determine the “fair cash value” and, if the court approves the appraisers’ report, judgment will be entered for the “fair cash value”, and the costs of the proceedings, including reasonable compensation of the appraisers, will be assessed or apportioned as the court considers equitable.
If a Croghan shareholder exercises his or her dissenters’ rights under Section 1701.85, all other rights with respect to such shareholder’s Croghan common shares will be suspended until Croghan purchases the shares, or the right to receive the fair cash value is otherwise terminated. Such rights will be reinstated should the right to receive the fair cash value be terminated other than by the purchase of the shares.
The foregoing description of the procedures to be followed in exercising dissenters’ rights pursuant to Section 1701.85 of the Ohio Revised Code may not be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Section 1701.85 attached as Annex B to this prospectus/proxy statement.

Indebancorp’s background and reasons for the merger
Background of the Merger
The Indebancorp Board of Directors has periodically discussed and reviewed with its management team and industry consultants, the business of banking, strategic direction, financial performance, and prospects of Indebancorp in the context of its current and prospective business, including local, regional, and national economic and competitive environments. The Indebancorp Board of Directors has at times also discussed various potential strategic options, including strategies to increase Indebancorp’s market area and products offerings, with the intent of ultimately creating more value for its shareholders.
The Indebancorp Board of Directors also has identified impediments to future growth and profitability, including expensive technological changes, the proliferation of competition by both bank andnon-bank financial services providers and the increase in cost of doing business due to heightened regulatory demands.
In late 2012, the Indebancorp Board of Directors discussed these interests and concerns in connection with the trends in the financial services industry and the likely nature of cost increases on anon-going basis. As a result of these discussions, it was decided to more actively pursue strategic options to enhance and maximize the value of shares of Indebancorp common stock, including examining potential transaction alternatives. It was determined that preliminary meetings would be held with Croghan and two other financial institutions. The Acquisition Merger and Shareholder Value Committee of the Indebancorp Board of Directors (the “Committee”) met with the CEOs of the three organizations for the purpose of learning more about their respective organizations and their potential interest in a business combination with Indebancorp. A representative of Austin Associates, LLC (“Austin”), a nationally recognized bank consulting and investment banking firm, participated in these meetings. The meetings were held in early January 2013, at Austin’s offices in Toledo, Ohio.
Subsequently, the full Indebancorp Board of Directors met to discuss the results of these meetings. After a thorough discussion of the alternatives and the respective merger partners, the Indebancorp Board of Directors elected to proceed with exclusive discussions with Croghan. The Indebancorp Board of Directors neither solicited nor received any formal proposal or indication of interest from either of the other two other organizations. The Indebancorp Board of Directors believed that Croghan’s community bank philosophy, proximity to Indebancorp’s markets and interest level made them the best candidate for a business combination with Indebancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary, National Bank of Ohio.
The Indebancorp Board of Directors then retained Austin to represent them in the discussions and negotiations with Croghan. Austin was formally retained on January 24, 2013.
In early February 2013, Croghan and Indebancorp executed a confidentiality agreement to preserve the confidentiality of the process and the information to be exchanged by the parties. On February 21, 2013, Austin provided Croghan access to a confidential data site that includednon-public information of Indebancorp. After reviewing this information, as well as having numerous conversations between Austin, Croghan and Croghan’s advisor, Croghan submitted a nonbinding indication of interest on March 14, 2013. On March 19, 2013, Austin and a partner from Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP, Indebancorp’s legal counsel, met with the Committee to discuss the indication of interest. On March 27, 2013, Austin met with the full Indebancorp Board of Directors to review the terms of the indication of interest from Croghan. After additional discussions and negotiations between the parties, a final indication of interest was submitted by Croghan on April 26, 2013. Indebancorp executed the indication of interest on April 30, 2013. The terms of the indication of interest were subject to additional due diligence by Croghan. The terms of the indication of interest were substantially the same as the final Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “merger agreement”).
During May and June of 2013, Croghan conducted additional due diligence of Indebancorp including an onsite review by an independent loan review firm. Austin and Indebancorp provided a substantial amount of additional information to Croghan. In addition, Austin performed a review of nonpublic information from Croghan to support and validate assumptions made as part of the issuance of its fairness opinion. The nonpublic information reviewed by Austin included Croghan’s 2013 budget, April 2013 financial statements, 2013 strategic
- 31 -
plan, asset/liability reports and ALLL adequacy reports. Indebancorp also engaged an independent loan review firm to perform a limited scope review of Croghan’s loan portfolio.
In late May 2013, a draft of the merger agreement was provided by Croghan to Indebancorp for review and negotiation. Austin and Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP were actively involved in reviewing, drafting and negotiating the final terms of the merger agreement. Members of Indebancorp’s Committee were also involved in the review of drafts of the merger agreement. The full Indebancorp Board of Directors received a copy of a draft merger agreement on or about June 12, 2013. Austin met with the Indebancorp Board of Directors on June 17, 2013 to review the then current draft of the merger agreement. The Indebancorp Board of Directors met again on June 20, 2013 to review the proposed definitive merger agreement and authorize its execution. Austin and Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP both participated in the meeting at which time Austin rendered its oral opinion that the transaction was fair, from a financial point of view, and subsequently, confirmed such oral opinion in writing. The transaction was announced on June 21, 2013.
Indebancorp’s Reasons for the Merger
The Indebancorp Board of Directors has determined that the merger agreement is fair to, and in the best interests of, Indebancorp and its shareholders and other proper constituencies, including, but not limited to, the customers of National Bank of Ohio. In reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement and to recommend adoption of the merger agreement to its shareholders, the Indebancorp Board of Directors consulted with management, as well as its financial and legal advisors, and considered a number of factors, including, without limitation, the following:
| • | | the merger will provide Indebancorp shareholders with immediate liquidity with respect to the portion of their shares of Indebancorp exchanged for cash in the merger; |
| • | | the merger will provide Indebancorp shareholders with potentially greater liquidity with respect to the portion of their shares of Indebancorp to be exchanged for Croghan common shares in the merger because Croghan is a larger corporation and has, historically, had a more active trading market for its shares; |
| • | | the long-term interests of Indebancorp and its shareholders, as well as the long-term interests of Indebancorp and National Bank of Ohio employees, depositors, borrowers, and the communities served by National Bank of Ohio; |
| • | | the increased level of cash dividends to be received by shareholders of Indebancorp who receive shares of Croghan; |
| • | | Croghan and Indebancorp have complementary community banking businesses so that the impact on customers and communities served would be minimized; |
| • | | the current expectation that Croghan will maintain Indebancorp’s existing community banking offices and that the merger may provide the opportunity for continued employment to Indebancorp’s employees; |
| • | | Indebancorp shareholders will receive a significant equity ownership in the combined company; |
| • | | two members of the Indebancorp Board of Directors will become directors of Croghan and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Croghan Colonial Bank; |
| • | | the structure of the merger and the terms of the merger agreement, including the fact that Indebancorp shareholders who receive Croghan common shares in exchange for shares of Indebancorp common stock in the merger will recognize no gain or loss, other than the gain or loss to be recognized as to cash received either (a) in exchange for a portion of their shares of Indebancorp common stock, or (b) in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares; |
| • | | the Indebancorp Board of Director’s belief that the business combination will create a larger and more diversified financial institution that is better equipped to respond to economic and industry developments and better positioned to develop and build on its position in existing markets; |
| • | | the financial analyses presented by Austin to the Indebancorp Board of Directors, and the opinion dated as of June 20, 2013, delivered to Indebancorp by Austin to the effect that, as of that date, and subject to and |
- 32 -
| based on the qualifications and assumptions set forth in the opinion, the consideration to be received by the holders of shares of Indebancorp common stock in the merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to such shareholders; |
| • | | Croghan Colonial Bank has the capital strength, favorable asset quality and access to secondary market lending outlets to increase credit availability and improve competition in markets currently served by National Bank of Ohio; and |
| • | | Croghan Colonial Bank will expand product and service availability to customers of National Bank of Ohio. |
The Indebancorp Board of Directors also considered a variety of risks and other potentially negative factors in deliberations concerning the merger, including:
| • | | the costs associated with the regulatory approval process, cost in connection with the calling of the special meeting of shareholders, and other merger-related costs; |
| • | | the risk of a decline in the market price of Croghan shares prior to and after the consummation of the merger; |
| • | | acceptance of the change by the communities served by Indebancorp; and |
| • | | the loss of Indebancorp’s independence as a separate financial institution and the potential impact to Indebancorp employees. |
The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by the Indebancorp Board of Directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but, rather, includes the material factors considered by the Indebancorp Board of Directors. In reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement, the Indebancorp Board of Directors did not quantify or assign any relative weights to the factors considered, and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors.
After considering the foregoing and other relevant factors and risks, and their overall impact on the shareholders and other constituencies of Indebancorp, the Indebancorp Board of Directors concluded that the anticipated benefits of the merger outweighed the anticipated detriments.
Recommendation of the Indebancorp Board of Directors
For the reasons set forth above, the Indebancorp Board of Directors unanimously determined that the merger, the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are fair to and in the best interests of Indebancorp and its shareholders, and unanimously adopted and approved the merger agreement. The Indebancorp Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the Indebancorp shareholders vote “FOR” the adoption and approval of the merger agreement.
Opinion of Indebancorp’s financial advisor
In January 2013, Indebancorp jointly engaged Austin and Investment Bank Services (“IBS”), a registered broker dealer, to provide financial advisory services in connection with the potential sale of Indebancorp. Austin is an investment banking and consulting firm specializing in community bank mergers and acquisitions. Principals of Austin’s investment banking team that assisted Indebancorp are also registered representatives of IBS. Indebancorp selected Austin and IBS as its financial advisors on the basis of their experience and expertise in representing community banks in similar transactions.
Austin acted as financial advisor to Indebancorp in connection with the proposed merger and participated in certain of the negotiations leading to the merger agreement. As part of its engagement, Austin assessed the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration being received by the shareholders of Indebancorp. Austin attended the June 20, 2013 meeting at which Indebancorp’s board considered and approved the merger agreement. At that meeting, Austin delivered to the board its oral opinion, subsequently confirmed in
- 33 -
writing that, as of such date, the merger consideration was fair to Indebancorp, and its shareholders, from a financial point of view. The full text of Austin’s opinion is attached as Annex C to this prospectus/proxy statement. The description of the opinion set forth below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the opinion.
You should consider the following when reading the discussion of Austin’s opinion in this document:
| • | | The opinion letter details the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations of the review undertaken by Austin in connection with its opinion, and should be read in its entirety; |
| • | | Austin expressed no opinion as to the price at which Indebancorp’s or Croghan’s common shares would actually be trading at any time; |
| • | | Austin’s opinion does not address the relative merits of the merger and the other business strategies considered by the Indebancorp’s board, nor does it address the board’s decision to proceed with the merger; and |
| • | | Austin’s opinion rendered in connection with the merger does not constitute a recommendation to any Indebancorp shareholder as to how he or she should vote at the special meeting. |
The preparation of a fairness opinion involves various determinations as to the most appropriate methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. It is, therefore, not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In performing its analyses, Austin made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions, and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Indebancorp and Croghan and may not be realized. Any estimates contained in Austin’s analyses are not necessarily predictive of future results or values, and may be significantly more or less favorable than the estimates. Estimates of values of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which the companies or their securities may actually be sold. Unless specifically noted, none of the analyses performed by Austin was assigned a greater significance by Austin than any other. The relative importance or weight given to these analyses is not affected by the order of the analyses or the corresponding results. The summaries of financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. The tables should be read together with the text of those summaries.
With respect to the internal projections and estimates for Indebancorp and Croghan, and the expected transaction costs, purchase accounting adjustments and cost savings, Croghan and Indebancorp’s management confirmed to us that they reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments of management of the future financial performance of Indebancorp and Croghan, respectively, and we assumed that such performance would be achieved. We express no opinion as to such financial projections and estimates or the assumptions on which they are based. We have also assumed that there has been no material change in Indebancorp or Croghan assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to us. We have assumed in all respects material to our analysis that Indebancorp and Croghan will remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to our analyses, that all of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement are true and correct, that each party to the merger agreement will perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such party under the merger agreement, and that the conditions precedent in the merger agreement are not waived. Finally, we have relied upon the advice Indebancorp has received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
Austin has relied, without independent verification, upon the accuracy and completeness of the information it reviewed for the purpose of rendering its opinion. Austin did not undertake any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities of Croghan or Indebancorp, nor was it furnished with any appraisals. Austin has not reviewed any individual credit files of Croghan or Indebancorp, and has assumed that Croghan’s and Indebancorp’s allowances are, in the aggregate, adequate to cover inherent credit losses. Austin’s opinion is based on economic, market and other conditions existing on the date of its opinion. No limitations were imposed
- 34 -
by Indebancorp’s board or its management upon Austin with respect to the investigations made or the procedures followed by Austin in rendering its opinion.
In rendering its opinion, Austin made the following assumptions:
| • | | that all material governmental, regulatory and other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the merger would be obtained without any adverse effect on Indebancorp, Croghan or on the anticipated benefits of the merger; |
| • | | that Indebancorp and Croghan have provided all of the information that might be material to Austin in its review; and |
| • | | that the financial projections it reviewed were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgment of the management of Indebancorp and Croghan as to the future operating and financial performance of Indebancorp and Croghan, respectively. |
In connection with its opinion, Austin reviewed:
| • | | certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Indebancorp that we deemed relevant; |
| • | | certain publicly available financial statements and other historical financial information of Croghan that we deemed relevant; |
| • | | internal budgets for Indebancorp and Croghan for the year ending December 31, 2013 prepared by and reviewed with management of Indebancorp and Croghan, respectively; |
| • | | the pro forma financial impact of the merger on Croghan, based on assumptions relating to transaction expenses, accounting adjustments, and cost savings determined by and discussed with senior management of and advisors to Croghan; |
| • | | publicly reported historical price and trading activity for Indebancorp and Croghan common shares, including a comparison of certain financial and stock market information for Indebancorp and Croghan with similar publicly available information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; |
| • | | the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the commercial banking industry, to the extent publicly available; |
| • | | current market environment generally and the banking environment in particular; and |
| • | | such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as we considered relevant. |
Austin also discussed with certain members of senior management of Indebancorp the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Indebancorp, including certain operating, regulatory and other financial matters. Austin held similar discussions with certain members of senior management of Croghan regarding the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Croghan.
The following is a summary of the material factors considered and analyses performed by Austin in connection with its opinion provided to Indebancorp’s board of directors on June 20, 2013. The summary does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Austin. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given to such terms in the merger agreement.
Summary of Financial Terms of the Merger Agreement.Austin reviewed the financial terms of the merger agreement, including the form of consideration, the pricing formula of the exchange ratio for the stock portion of the consideration, and the resulting value per share to be received by Indebancorp common shareholders pursuant to the proposed merger.
- 35 -
The terms of the merger agreement provide that each outstanding common share of Indebancorp stock shall be converted at the election of the shareholder into either (i) 1.630 Croghan common shares; (ii) cash, at the rate of $55.00 for each Indebancorp common share; or (iii) a combination of Croghan common shares and cash. The shareholder election is subject to allocation procedures such that seventy percent (70%) of Indebancorp common shares in the aggregate shall be converted into and become Croghan common shares and thirty percent (30%) of Indebancorp common shares shall be converted into the right to receive cash. As of June 21, 2013, the date of the announcement, the previous20-day average closing price for Croghan common shares was $34.40, resulting in a transaction value of approximately $28.9 million.
Based on 519,082 common shares of Indebancorp outstanding and Croghan’s June 19, 2013 closing price of $34.60, the aggregate value of the transaction was estimated at $29.3 million. Austin calculated that the value of $29.3 million represented as of March 31, 2013:
| • | | 133 percent of book value; |
| • | | 133 percent of tangible book value; |
| • | | 18.2 times trailing twelve months earnings; and |
| • | | a 4.6 percent premium above tangible book value as a percent of core deposits. |
Comparable Transaction Analysis.Austin compared the financial performance of certain selling institutions and the prices paid in selected transactions to Indebancorp’s financial performance and the transaction multiples being paid by Croghan for Indebancorp. Specifically, Austin reviewed certain information relating to Midwest bank and thrift sale transactions from January 1, 2012 to June 14, 2013 involving sellers with total assets between $100 million and $1 billion, positive last twelve-month (“LTM”) return on average assets (“ROAA”) and tangible equity to tangible assets greater than 5.0 percent. Twelve transactions met the transaction criterion.

Croghan exceeded the median of the guideline group in dividend yield. Croghan was below the 25th percentile as measured by average monthly trading volume.
Pro Forma Merger Analysis.Austin analyzed the potential pro forma effect of the merger assuming the merger is completed at the end of the fourth quarter of 2013. Austin utilized the net income projections from the respective 2013 budgets of Indebancorp and Croghan in preparing the pro forma analysis. The 2013 budgeted net income was $1.80 million for Indebancorp and $4.50 million for Croghan. In addition, assumptions were made regarding the accounting adjustments, costs savings and other acquisition adjustments based on discussions with management of Indebancorp and Croghan. Based on fully phased in cost savings and 2013 earnings estimates, this analysis indicated that the merger is expected to be accretive to Croghan’s estimated stand-alone EPS (excludingone-time transaction costs) by approximately 15.6 percent. Austin calculated that Croghan’s tangible book value per share would be diluted by approximately 10.5 percent at closing. Croghan would continue to be well-capitalized following the merger.
Pro Forma Dividends Per Share to Indebancorp.Based on the Exchange Ratio and Croghan’s current annual cash dividend rate of $1.28 per share, Indebancorp’s common stockholders will receive $2.09 in equivalent cash dividends per share. Indebancorp’s annual cash dividend rate is $0.70 per share. As a result, shareholders electing to receive shares of Croghan will receive a 198 percent increase in annual cash dividends following the merger.
Austin’s Compensation and Other Relationships With Indebancorp and Croghan.Indebancorp has agreed to pay Austin and IBS certain fees for its services as financial advisor in connection with the merger. Indebancorp paid Austin a cash fee of $10,000 upon execution of the engagement letter. Indebancorp paid Austin a cash fee of $25,000 upon execution of the Agreement which included the issuance of the Austin fairness opinion. Indebancorp has agreed to pay IBS a cash fee at closing of the merger equal to 1.00 percent of the aggregate consideration paid to Indebancorp’s common stockholders, of which 25% was paid upon execution of the Agreement. The aggregate fee to IBS will approximate $289,000 of which $72,500 has been paid.
- 38 -
Indebancorp has agreed to reimburse Austin and IBS for its reasonableout-of-pocket expenses, and to indemnify Austin and IBS against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities laws. Austin has previously provided various consulting services to Indebancorp, including annual ESOP valuation services. Fees for services provided to Indebancorp were not material to Austin’s overall business. In addition, Austin has previously provided various consulting services to Croghan. These fees were not material to Austin’s overall business. Austin’s relationship with Croghan was disclosed to the Indebancorp board of directors prior to being engaged for this transaction.
Summary.Based on the preceding summary discussion and analysis, and subject to the qualifications described herein, Austin determined the terms of the Agreement to be fair, from a financial point of view, to Indebancorp and its shareholders.
The opinion expressed by Austin was based on market, economic and other relevant considerations as they existed and could be evaluated as of the date of the opinion. Events occurring after the date of issuance of the opinion, including, but not limited to, changes affecting the securities markets, the results of operations or material changes in the financial condition of either Croghan or Indebancorp could materially affect the assumptions used in preparing this opinion.
Croghan’s background and reasons for the merger
Background of the Merger
In late December 2012, Indebancorp’s Board of Directors asked whether Croghan’s senior management would have an interest in pursuing the possibility of a merger with Indebancorp. Indebancorp’s Board of Directors indicated to Croghan’s senior management that a select number of potential partners had been identified for a potential merger. Senior management from each potential partner would engage in discussions with Indebancorp before a single partner would be selected by Indebancorp to proceed with a potential merger. Croghan’s senior management responded in the affirmative, and on January 9, 2013, Croghan’s Chief Executive Officer met with Indebancorp and discussed a potential merger between Croghan and Indebancorp. Croghan’s senior management was notified thereafter by Indebancorp that Croghan had been selected to pursue a possible merger with Indebancorp. On February 7, 2013, Croghan and Indebancorp signed a confidentiality agreement and thereafter Croghan received additional information on Indebancorp.
To analyze the financial impact on Croghan of a possible Indebancorp merger, Croghan retained Sterne Agee, its financial advisor, on January 30, 2013. On February 21, 2013, Croghan and Sterne Agee were provided due diligence materials by the advisor to Indebancorp, Austin, through an online data room. Based upon a review of the due diligence materials and a presentation by Sterne Agee made to the Board of Directors on February 27, 2013, Croghan’s Board of Directors concluded that the possible merger with Indebancorp was attractive for a number of reasons, including the potential economies of scale created by the $850 million asset size of Croghan following the merger and the attractive locations of Indebancorp’s branches and office locations. A number of possible merger scenarios were then developed on the basis of whether each scenario would result in an accretion or dilution to the future earnings per share of Croghan, how each would impact the capital of Croghan after the merger and the ways in which each would otherwise impact Croghan’s shareholders.
On March 14, 2013, Croghan presented to Austin anon-binding indication of interest in which the financial structure and other aspects of a possible business combination with Indebancorp were outlined. The indication provided for a transaction in which Indebancorp would be merged with and into Croghan and each share of Indebancorp would be converted into the right to receive a mixture of cash between $54.00 and $55.00 in value and between 1.636 to 1.667 Croghan common shares, the exact amount of which would be determined after a due diligence review of the books and records of Indebancorp.
On April 17, 2013, the Croghan board received a counterproposal from Indebancorp’s Board of Directors, requesting an increased purchase price per share of $56.00 and a fixed exchange ratio of 1.670 on the stock portion of the consideration. The Croghan Board and Sterne Agee met again to review the counterproposal and
- 39 -
on April 26, 2013 Croghan submitted a revisednon-binding indication of interest in which 70% of the Indebancorp shares would be converted into the right to receive 1.630 Croghan common shares, and 30% of the Indebancorp shares would be converted into an amount of cash equal to $55.00.
After the Indebancorp Board of Directors reviewed Croghan’s revised indication of interest, Indebancorp invited Croghan to conduct a due diligence investigation of the books, records, loans, deposits and other aspects of Indebancorp’s business. A team of Croghan officers and an outside loan review team subsequently conducted the investigation inmid-May of 2013. Senior management updated the Croghan Board of Directors regarding its due diligence investigation at a special meeting on May 29, 2013, and the directors then authorized management to begin drafting the definitive agreement with Indebancorp.
During the next several weeks, Croghan and Indebancorp and their respective representatives negotiated the terms of the merger agreement and related documents. On June 20, 2013, the Croghan Board of Directors approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby after receiving the advice of legal counsel, Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLLP, and the oral opinion of Sterne Agee that the merger would be fair to Croghan’s shareholders from a financial point of view. On June 20, 2013, Croghan executed the merger agreement and signed a voting agreement with each of the directors of Indebancorp.
Croghan’s Reasons for the Merger
The Croghan Board of Directors has concluded that the merger is in the best interests of Croghan’s shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Croghan Board of Directors consulted with management, as well as its financial and legal advisors, and considered a number of factors, including, without limitation, the following:
| • | | The merger will facilitate the natural and logical expansion of Croghan’s business into counties of Ottawa, Lucas and Wood Counties. |
| • | | The merger will create a bank holding company with more than $850 million in assets, a size at which the economies of scale will permit, Croghan hopes, more profitable competition in an extremely competitive environment. |
| • | | Indebancorp’s management philosophies and its long-standing reputation of excellent customer service and community involvement are consistent with Croghan’s philosophies toward community banking, emphasis on customer service and strong ongoing commitment to each community served. |
| • | | Indebancorp’s current products and services are similar to and, in many respects, complement products and services offered by Croghan and its banking subsidiaries. |
| • | | Croghan believes that the transaction will increase the earnings per share of Croghan. |
| • | | The merger will potentially improve the trading market for and increase the liquidity of Croghan’s common shares due to the additional issuance of Croghan common shares. |
The Croghan Board of Directors considered many different factors in its evaluation and did not believe it was practical to, and did not quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to, the individual factors considered in reaching its determination.
Recommendation of the Croghan Board of Directors
In view of all the considerations described above, the Board of Directors of Croghan Bancshares, Inc. unanimously concluded that the merger is fair to and in the best interests of the Croghan shareholders and recommends that Croghan shareholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the merger agreement and the approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger of Indebancorp with and into Croghan and issuance of common shares of Croghan to shareholders of Indebancorp in the merger.

Opinion of Croghan’s financial advisor
On January 30, 2013, the Croghan Board of Directors retained Sterne Agee to act as financial adviser to Croghan regarding a merger transaction with Indebancorp (the “merger”). As part of the engagement, Sterne Agee was asked to assess the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration paid, which includes common stock of Croghan, to Indebancorp.
Sterne Agee, a nationally recognized investment banking firm with offices throughout the United States, has substantial experience in transactions similar to the merger. Sterne Agee is continually engaged in the valuation of banking businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for corporate and other purposes. As specialists in the securities of banking companies, Sterne Agee has experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of banking enterprises. Other than with respect to the proposed merger, Sterne Agee has not been engaged to provide services to Croghan during the past two years.
As part of Sterne Agee’s engagement, representatives attended the meeting by Croghan’s Board of Directors held on June 20, 2013, in which Croghan’s Board of Directors evaluated the proposed merger. At this meeting, Sterne Agee reviewed the financial aspects of the proposed transaction and rendered an opinion that, as of such date, the consideration provided to and for Indebancorp in the merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to Croghan. Croghan’s Board of Directors approved the merger agreement at this meeting.
The full text of Sterne Agee’s written opinion is attached as Annex D to this document and is incorporated herein by reference. Croghan’s stockholders are urged to read the opinion in its entirety for a description of the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Sterne Agee. The description of the opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion.
Sterne Agee’s opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion is directed to Croghan’s Board of Directors and addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration provided for in the merger. It does not address the underlying business decision to proceed with the merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder as to how the shareholder should vote or act with respect to any matter relating to the merger.
In rendering its opinion, Sterne Agee, among other things:
| • | | reviewed the merger agreement dated June 20, 2013; |
| • | | reviewed certain publicly-available and internal financial and business information of Indebancorp, Croghan, and their affiliates deemed to be relevant; |
| • | | reviewed certain information, including financial forecasts relating to the business, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities, liquidity, and prospects of Indebancorp and Croghan; |
| • | | reviewed materials detailing the merger prepared by Indebancorp, Croghan, and their affiliates by their legal and accounting advisors; |
| • | | conducted conversations with members of senior management and representatives of both Indebancorp and Croghan regarding the matters described above, as well as their respective businesses and prospects before and after giving effect to the merger; |
| • | | reviewed the overall environment for depository institutions in the United States; and, |
| • | | conducted such other financial studies, analyses, investigations, and took into account such other matters deemed appropriate for purposes of this opinion, including an assessment of general economic, market, and monetary conditions. |
- 41 -
In addition, Sterne Agee compared certain financial information for Indebancorp with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded, reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the banking industry, and performed other studies and analyses that it considered appropriate.
Sterne Agee, in conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information provided to it or otherwise publicly available. Sterne Agee did not independently verify the accuracy or completeness of any such information or assume any responsibility for such verification or accuracy. Sterne Agee relied upon the management of Croghan and Indebancorp as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections (and the assumptions and basis therefore) provided to Sterne Agee. Sterne Agee assumed that such forecasts and projections reflect the best currently available estimates and judgments of such managements and that such forecasts and projections will be realized in the amounts and in the time periods currently estimated by such managements. Sterne Agee did not make or obtain any evaluation or appraisal of the property of Croghan or Indebancorp, nor did it examine any individual credit files.
The projections furnished to Sterne Agee and used by it in certain of its analyses were prepared by Croghan’s and Indebancorp’s senior management teams. Croghan and Indebancorp do not publicly disclose internal management projections of the type provided to Sterne Agee in connection with its review of the merger. As a result, such projections were not prepared with a view towards public disclosure. The projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions, which are inherently uncertain, including factors related to general economic and competitive conditions. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in the projections.
For purposes of rendering its opinion, Sterne Agee assumed that, in all respects material to its analyses:
| • | | the merger will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the merger agreement with no additional payments or adjustments to the merger consideration; |
| • | | the representations and warranties of each party in the merger agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the merger agreement are true and correct; |
| • | | each party to the merger agreement and all related documents will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under such documents; |
| • | | all conditions to the completion of the merger will be satisfied without any waiver; and |
| • | | in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the merger, no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity or the contemplated benefits of the merger, including the cost savings and related expenses expected to result from the merger. |
Sterne Agee further assumed that the merger will be accounted for as a purchase transaction under generally accepted accounting principles, and that the merger will qualify as atax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes. Sterne Agee’s opinion is not an expression of an opinion as to the price at which Croghan common shares will trade following the announcement of the merger or the actual value of the common shares of the combined company when issued pursuant to the merger, or the price at which the common shares of the combined company will trade following the completion of the merger.
In performing its analyses, Sterne Agee made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, which are beyond the control of Sterne Agee, Croghan and Indebancorp. Any estimates contained in the analyses performed by Sterne Agee are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Additionally, estimates of the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be
- 42 -
appraisals or to reflect the prices at which such businesses or securities might actually be sold. Accordingly, these analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. In addition, the Sterne Agee opinion was among several factors taken into consideration by the Croghan Board of Directors in making its determination to approve the merger agreement and the merger. Consequently, the analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the decision of the Croghan Board of Directors with respect to the fairness of the consideration.
The following is a summary of the material analyses presented by Sterne Agee to the Croghan Board of Directors on June 20, 2013, in connection with its fairness opinion. The summary is not a complete description of the analyses underlying the Sterne Agee opinion or the presentation made by Sterne Agee to the Croghan Board of Directors, but summarizes the material analyses performed and presented in connection with such opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytic process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. In arriving at its opinion, Sterne Agee did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that it considered, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. Accordingly, Sterne Agee believes that its analyses and the summary of its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on the information presented below in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion.
Summary of Proposal. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, upon the merger, 70% of the Indebancorp common shares will be converted into the right to receive 1.630 shares of Croghan common shares, par value $12.50, and 30% of the Indebancorp common shares will be converted into an amount of cash equal to $55.00. Based on Croghan’s20-day average closing price on June 18, 2013 of $34.35, the consideration was equivalent to a price of $55.69 per share to Indebancorp’s shareholders.
Comparable Transaction Analysis. Sterne Agee reviewed publicly available information related to eleven selected acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies as well as thrifts and thrift holding companies with headquarters in the Midwest region announced after December 31, 2009, where the target had similar financial characteristics as Indebancorp:
| | |
Acquiror | | Acquiree |
CNB Financial Corporation | | FC Banc Corp. |
CBTCO Bancorp | | Bradley Bancorp |
QCR Holdings, Inc. | | Community National Bancorporation |
LCNB Corp. | | First Capital Bancshares, Inc. |
PSB Holdings, Inc. | | Marathon State Bank |
First Financial Corporation | | Freestar Bank, National Association |
Goering Management Company, LLC | | Home State Bancshares, Inc. |
American State Bancshares, Inc. | | Rose Hill Bancorp., Inc. |
First Prestonsburg Bancshares, Inc. | | Short Holding Company |
Vogel Bancshares, Inc. | | Farmers Savings Bank |
Rigler Investment Co. | | State Bank & Trust Company |
Transaction multiples for the merger were derived from an offer price of $55.69 per share for Indebancorp, based on Croghan’s June 18, 201320-day average closing price of $34.35. For each precedent transaction, Sterne Agee derived and compared, among other things, the implied deal value paid for the acquired company to:
| • | | tangible book value of the acquired company based on the latest public and internal financial statements of the company available prior to the announcement of the acquisition and; |
- 43 -
| • | | tangible equity premium to core deposits (total deposits less time deposits greater than $100,000) based on the financial statements of the company available prior to the announcement of the acquisition |
| • | | the last twelve months net income based on the financial statements of the company available prior to the announcement of the acquisition |
The results of the analysis are set forth in the following table:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Transaction Price to: | | Croghan / Indebancorp Merger | | | Comparable Transactions Minimum | | | Comparable Transactions Median | | | Comparable Transactions Maximum | |
Tangible Book Value | | | 131 | % | | | 100 | % | | | 130 | % | | | 165 | % |
Core Deposit Premium | | | 4.3 | % | | | 0.0 | % | | | 4.5 | % | | | 7.4 | % |
LTM Net Income | | | 18.6 | x | | | 9.9 | x | | | 16.6 | x | | | 25.6 | x |
No company or transaction used as a comparison in the above analysis is identical to Indebancorp, Croghan or the merger. Accordingly, an analysis of these results is not mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies.
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Sterne Agee performed a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate a range of the present values ofafter-tax cash flows that Indebancorp could provide to equity holders through Indebancorp’s fiscal year 2017 on a stand-alone basis and on a pro forma basis after accounting for merger adjustments and projected cost savings. In performing this analysis, Sterne Agee used Croghan’s Management Guidance for fiscal years 2013 – 2017 to derive projectedafter-tax cash flows. The analysis assumed discount rates ranging from 10.0% to 13.0%. The range of values was determined by adding (1) the present value of projected cash flows to Indebancorp’s stockholders from fiscal year 2013 to 2017, (2) the estimated projected cost savings realized in the merger from 2013 – 2017, (3) the estimated 141R fair market value adjustments to Indebancorp’s projected September 31, 2013 balance sheet; and (4) the present value of the terminal value of Indebancorp’s common stock. In determining cash flows available to stockholders, Sterne Agee assumed that Indebancorp would maintain a tangible common equity/tangible asset ratio of 8.00% and would retain sufficient earnings to maintain that level. Any earnings in excess of what would need to be retained represented dividendable cash flows for Indebancorp. In calculating the terminal value of Indebancorp, Sterne Agee applied multiples ranging from 10.0 times to 14.0 times fiscal year 2017 forecasted earnings. Based on the assumptions above the following projected after-tax cash flows for 2013 through 2017 were used: ($5.3 million), $3.5 million, $3.5 million, $3.6 million and $48.4 million, which included $3.7 million of after-tax cash flows and a terminal value of $45.1 million. This resulted in a pro forma discounted cash flow analysis range of value of Indebancorp from $48.72 to $74.48 per share.
Sterne Agee stated that the discounted cash flow present value analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but noted that it relies on numerous assumptions, including asset and earnings growth rates, terminal values, and discount rates. The analysis did not purport to be indicative of the actual values or expected values of Indebancorp.
Financial Impact Analysis. Sterne Agee performed pro forma merger analyses that combined projected income statement and balance sheet information of Croghan and Indebancorp. Assumptions regarding the accounting treatment, acquisition adjustments and cost savings were used to calculate the financial impact that the merger would have on certain projected financial results of Croghan. In the course of this analysis, Sterne Agee used 2014 earnings estimates for Croghan of $4.5 million and 2014 earnings estimates for Indebancorp of $1.9 million based on Croghan’s Management Projections. This analysis indicated that the merger is expected to be accretive to Croghan’s estimated earnings per share in 2014, excluding restructuring charges. The analysis also indicated that the merger is expected to be dilutive to tangible book value per share for Croghan and that Croghan would maintain well capitalized capital ratios. For all of the above analyses, the actual results achieved by Croghan following the merger will vary from the projected results, and the variations may be material.
- 44 -
Other Analyses. Sterne Agee reviewed the relative financial performance of Croghan and Indebancorp to a variety of relevant industry peer groups. Sterne Agee also reviewed earnings estimates, balance sheet composition and other financial data for Croghan and Indebancorp.
Sterne Agee acted as Croghan’s financial advisor in connection with the merger and will receive a fee of $175,000 for its services, a portion of which is contingent upon the successful completion of the transaction.Additionally, Croghan has also agreed to reimburse Sterne Agee for reasonableout-of-pocket expenses and disbursements incurred in connection with its retention and to indemnify it against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws.
In the ordinary course of its business as a broker-dealer, Sterne Agee may, from time to time, purchase securities from and sell securities to Croghan, Indebancorp or their affiliates.
Regulatory approvals required
Croghan and Indebancorp have submitted applications to the FRB and the Division to obtain their approval of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the proposed merger of National Bank of Ohio with and into Croghan Colonial Bank. These regulatory applications are currently pending.
Croghan and Indebancorp anticipate that the necessary regulatory approvals will be obtained and will not contain any materially adverse or unduly burdensome conditions, restrictions or requirements. However, there can be no assurance that any one or more of the required regulatory approvals will be obtained, that the approvals will be received on a timely basis, or that the approvals will not impose conditions or requirements that would so materially reduce the economic or business benefits of the merger that, had such conditions or requirements been known, either Croghan or Indebancorp would not have entered into the merger agreement. The merger may not be consummated for up to 30 days after approval by the FRB, during which time the United States Department of Justice may bring an action challenging the merger on antitrust grounds.
The approval of any regulatory applications merely implies the satisfaction of regulatory criteria for approval, which does not include review of the adequacy or fairness of the merger consideration to shareholders. Furthermore, regulatory approvals do not constitute or imply any endorsement or recommendation of the proposed merger or the terms of the merger agreement.
Interests of Indebancorp directors and executive officers in the merger
Some of the directors and executive officers of Indebancorp have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Indebancorp shareholders generally. These interests include the following:
| • | | Under his Salary Continuation Agreement with National Bank of Ohio, Chief Executive Officer Gary Macko would receive a retirement benefit of $15,000 per year, if he retires from employment with the Bank after age 65, payable in 180 monthly installments. However, the Salary Continuation Agreement provides that upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Agreement), Mr. Macko will instead be entitled to receive a single lump sum payment equal to $225,000, payable within 30 days following the change of control. |
| • | | National Bank of Ohio has entered into similar Salary Continuation Agreements with seven other officers of the Bank (Joseph Bires, Mary Lou Clark, Dean Davis, Leonard Gerber, John Hermes, Mary Ann Kiser, Christine Laub, and Marie Truman), under which each would be entitled to similar retirement benefits of $12,000 per year for 15 following retirement after age 65 and to receive a similar lump sum of $180,000 upon a change of control. |
| • | | Indebancorp has entered into Director Retirement Agreements with directors John Caputo, Dean Davis, James Dunn, Charles Hablitzel, Dennis Laub, Thomas Spangler, and Donald Waggoner. Under these agreements, if a director retires from the Board of Directors after reaching age 65 and serving as a director for at least 20 years, Indebancorp would pay the director an annual retirement benefit equal to 50% of the annual board fees paid to the director by Indebancorp and the National Bank of Ohio during |

| the calendar year preceding his retirement date. This amount would be paid in monthly installments for 180 months. However, if the director’s service on the Board ends within the first twelve months after a change in control transaction (such as the merger), the terms of the Director Retirement Agreements provide that the director will instead be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to the accrual balance for the director’s benefits, determined as of the last day of the calendar month preceding the effective date of the change in control, regardless of whether the director has completed 20 years of service or reached age 65. Indebancorp has entered into a similar Director Retirement Agreement with Gary Macko. |
| • | | Pursuant to Split Dollar Agreements, Indebancorp maintains bank-owned life insurance policies on the lives of John Caputo, Dean Davis, James Dunn, Dennis Laub, Thomas Spangler, and Donald Waggoner, and Gary Macko. Under the Split Dollar Agreements, each director has the right to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries who will be entitled to receive a portion of the death benefit payable under the bank-owned life insurance policy equal to $100,000 (or, if less, the net at risk portion of the policy proceeds), upon the director’s death. Croghan will assume these Split Dollar Agreements as part of the transaction, and will be required to maintain the bank-owned life insurance policies after the closing, whether or not the director continues to serve as a director after the closing. National Bank of Ohio has entered into similar Split Dollar Agreements with employees Joseph Bires, Mary Lou Clark, Leonard Gerber, John Hermes, Mary Ann Kiser, Christine Laub and Marie Truman, under which each of these key employees may designate a beneficiary who would be entitled to receive $104,641 of the death benefits payable under a bank-owned life insurance policy if the key employee is in the full-time employment of the bank at the time of his or her death. |
| • | | National Bank of Ohio entered into a letter agreement with director Tom Helberg that provides him with aone-time payment of $20,000 at in the event the merger is consummated with Croghan and Mr. Helberg is not one of the two directors chosen by Croghan to become a board member of Croghan. Mr. Helberg was recently recruited to Indebancorp’s board of directors which had required him to forgo other opportunities to serve on other boards and is providing this payment as consideration for that lost opportunity due to the short time he was able to serve on the Indebancorp board of directors, prior to the determination to pursue a transaction to merge with Croghan. |
| • | | Croghan has agreed to indemnify each director and officer of Indebancorp for a period of six years following the merger and to purchase a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering Indebancorp directors and officers for a period of six years following the merger, in each case subject to certain limitations set forth in the merger agreement. |
| • | | Two current Indebancorp directors will be selected by Croghan to serve on the Boards of Directors of Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank following completion of the merger. |
The Indebancorp Board of Directors was aware of these interests and considered them in approving the merger agreement and the merger.
Indemnification and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
For a period of six years following the effective time of the merger and subject to compliance with applicable state and federal laws, Croghan will indemnify each person who served as a director or officer of Indebancorp and/or National Bank of Ohio before the effective time of the merger to the fullest extent provided by Indebancorp’s governing documents, from and against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that the person was an officer or director of Indebancorp and/or National Bank of Ohio. In addition, the merger agreement provides that, prior to the merger, Indebancorp will purchase a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy to be effective for six years following the merger, provided that the cost of such insurance does not exceed $35,000 and Indebancorp will cooperate with Croghan to reduce the period and cost of such insurance in the event Croghan is able to provide substantially similar coverage for the directors and officers of Indebancorp under Croghan’s insurance policies.

Material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger
The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger that apply generally to “U.S. holders” (as defined below) of Indebancorp common shares and, subject to the limitations and qualifications described herein, represents the opinion of Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP, counsel to Croghan, and Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick LLP, counsel to Indebancorp. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code, judicial decisions and administrative regulations and interpretations in effect as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Accordingly, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to Indebancorp shareholders could differ from those described below.
For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of Indebancorp common shares who for U.S. federal income tax purposes is:
| • | | a citizen or resident of the United States; |
| • | | a corporation, or an entity treated as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof; |
| • | | a trust that (1) is subject to (A) the primary supervision of a court within the United States and (B) the authority of one or more U.S. persons to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Department of Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person; or |
| • | | an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income regardless of its source. |
If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Indebancorp common shares, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding Indebancorp common shares, you should consult your tax advisor.
This discussion addresses only the material U.S. federal income tax consequences for those Indebancorp shareholders who hold their Indebancorp common shares as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code. This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to holders of Indebancorp common shares in light of their particular circumstances, nor does it address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to Indebancorp shareholders that are subject to special rules, including:
| • | | dealers in securities or foreign currencies; |
| • | | tax-exempt organizations; |
| • | | persons who are not U.S. holders; |
| • | | financial institutions; |
| • | | expatriates or holders who have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar; |
| • | | pass-through entities and investors in those entities; |
| • | | holders who acquired their shares in connection with the exercise of stock options or other compensatory transactions or through exercise of warrants; |
| • | | holders who hold their shares as a hedge or as part of a straddle, constructive sale, conversion transaction or other risk management transaction; and |
| • | | traders in securities that elect to use themark-to-market method of accounting. |
- 47 -
In addition, this discussion does not address any alternative minimum tax, U.S. federal estate or gift tax, or foreign, state or local tax consequences. Croghan and Indebancorp have not requested and do not intend to request from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding any matter relating to the merger and no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court will not sustain, a position contrary to any aspect of this discussion. Indebancorp shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, as well as the effects of state, local and foreign tax laws in light of their own situations.
The closing of the merger is conditioned upon the delivery of opinions of Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP and Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick LLP, dated the closing date of the merger, to the effect that, based on U.S. federal income tax law in effect as of the date of such opinions, the merger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, in connection with the filing of the proxy statement/prospectus of which this document is a part, each of Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP and Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick LLP has delivered an opinion to Croghan and Indebancorp, respectively, to the same effect as the opinions described above. An opinion of counsel is not binding on the IRS or any court. In rendering their respective opinions, Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP and Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick LLP will rely on certain assumptions, including assumptions regarding the absence of changes in existing facts and the completion of the merger strictly in accordance with the merger agreement and this proxy statement/prospectus. The opinions will also rely upon certain factual representations and covenants made by the management of Croghan and Indebancorp and will assume that these factual representations are true, correct and complete, and that Croghan and Indebancorp, as the case may be, will comply with these covenants. If any of these assumptions or representations as to factual matters is inaccurate in any way, or any of the covenants are not satisfied, it could adversely affect the opinions.
The material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to Croghan, Indebancorp and the Indebancorp shareholders are as follows.
Tax consequences to Croghan and Indebancorp
No Gain or Loss. No gain or loss will be recognized by Croghan or Indebancorp as a result of the merger.
Tax Basis. The tax basis of the assets of Indebancorp in the hands of Croghan will be the same as the tax basis of such assets in the hands of Indebancorp immediately prior to the merger.
Holding Period. The holding period of the assets of Indebancorp to be received by Croghan will include the period during which such assets were held by Indebancorp.
Tax consequences to Indebancorp shareholders who receive only cash
An Indebancorp shareholder who receives only cash in exchange for such shareholder’s Indebancorp common shares (as a result of such shareholder’s dissent to the merger or election to receive the cash consideration for all of such shareholder’s Indebancorp common shares) will recognize gain or loss as if such shareholder had received such cash as a distribution in redemption of such shareholder’s Indebancorp common shares, subject to the provisions and limitations of Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Tax consequences to Indebancorp shareholders who receive only Croghan common shares, except for cash in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares
An Indebancorp shareholder who receives only Croghan common shares in exchange for such shareholder’s Indebancorp common shares (not including any cash received in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares) will not recognize any gain or loss on the receipt of such Croghan common shares.
- 48 -
Tax consequences to Indebancorp shareholders who receive a combination of cash (other than cash in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares) and Croghan common shares
An Indebancorp shareholder who receives a combination of cash (other than cash in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares) and Croghan common shares in exchange for such shareholder’s Indebancorp common shares will recognize gain, but not loss, in an amount not to exceed the amount of cash received (excluding any cash received in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares). For this purpose, an Indebancorp shareholder generally must calculate gain or loss separately for each identifiable block of Indebancorp common shares exchanged by the shareholder in the merger, and a loss realized on one block of Indebancorp common shares may not be used by the shareholder to offset a gain realized on another block of Indebancorp common shares. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the manner in which cash and Croghan common shares should be allocated among their Indebancorp common shares and the specific U.S. federal income tax consequences thereof.
For purposes of determining the character of the gain recognized on account of the cash received by an Indebancorp shareholder, such Indebancorp shareholder will be treated as having received only Croghan common shares in exchange for such shareholder’s Indebancorp common shares, and as having immediately redeemed a portion of such Croghan common shares for the cash received (excluding cash received in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares). Unless the redemption is treated as a dividend under the principles of Section 302(d) of the Internal Revenue Code (to the extent of such shareholder’s ratable share of the undistributed earnings and profits of Indebancorp), the gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. The capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Indebancorp common shares surrendered in the merger were held for a period exceeding one year as of the time of the exchange. Long-term capital gain ofnon-corporate holders of Indebancorp common shares is generally taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Cash in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares
An Indebancorp shareholder who receives cash in lieu of a fractional Croghan common share will recognize gain or loss as if such fractional Croghan common share were distributed as part of the merger and then redeemed by Croghan, subject to the provisions and limitations of Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Tax basis
The aggregate tax basis of the Croghan common shares received by an Indebancorp shareholder in the merger (including fractional Croghan common shares, if any, deemed to be issued and redeemed by Croghan) generally will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the Indebancorp common shares surrendered in the merger, reduced by the amount of cash received by the shareholder in the merger (other than any cash in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares), and increased by the amount of gain recognized by the shareholder in the merger (including any portion of the gain that is treated as a dividend, but excluding any gain or loss resulting from the deemed issuance and redemption of fractional Croghan common shares). An Indebancorp shareholder’s tax basis in its Croghan common shares may be determined with reference to each identifiable block of Indebancorp common shares surrendered in the merger. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the manner in which Croghan common shares should be allocated among their Indebancorp common shares for purposes of identifying the tax basis of the Croghan common shares.
Holding period
The holding period of the Croghan common shares received by an Indebancorp shareholder (including fractional Croghan common shares, if any, deemed to be issued and redeemed by Croghan) will include the holding period of the Indebancorp common shares surrendered in the merger. An Indebancorp shareholder’s holding period in its Croghan common shares may be determined with reference to each identifiable block of Indebancorp common shares surrendered in the merger. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors regarding
- 49 -
the manner in which Croghan common shares should be allocated among their Indebancorp common shares for purposes of identifying the holding period of the Croghan common shares.
Reporting requirements
An Indebancorp shareholder owning at least one percent (by vote or value) of the total outstanding Indebancorp common shares or having a basis of $1,000,000 or more in Indebancorp common shares, immediately before the merger, is required to file a statement with the shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax return setting forth the tax basis in the Indebancorp common shares exchanged in the merger, the fair market value of the Croghan common shares and the amount of any cash received in the merger. In addition, all Indebancorp shareholders will be required to retain records pertaining to the merger.
Backup withholding
Under certain circumstances, cash payments made to an Indebancorp shareholder pursuant to the merger may be subject to backup withholding at a rate of 28%. There is no withholding for a shareholder who provides the exchange agent with such shareholder’s correct U.S. federal taxpayer identification number and who certifies that no loss of exemption from backup withholding has occurred on IRSForm W-9 or its substitute. Certain categories of Indebancorp shareholders, such as corporations, are not subject to backup withholding. Any amounts withheld from an Indebancorp shareholder under the backup withholding rules are not an additional tax. Rather, any such amounts will be allowed as a credit or refund against such shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided that the shareholder furnishes to the IRS all required information.
Each Indebancorp shareholder should consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences to the shareholder of the merger, including the application and effect of state, local, and foreign income and other tax laws.
Accounting treatment
The merger will be accounted for as a purchase in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under the purchase method of accounting, the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities of Indebancorp will be recorded at estimated fair values at the time the merger is consummated, and the excess of the estimated fair value of Croghan common shares issued and the cash proceeds over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets will be recorded as goodwill. The adjustments necessary to record tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities at fair value will be amortized to income and expensed over the estimated remaining lives of the related assets and liabilities. Remaining goodwill will be subject to an annual test for impairment and the amount impaired, if any, will be charged to expense at the time of impairment.
The pro forma results of applying the purchase method of accounting are shown in the unaudited pro forma financial information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus/proxy statement. See “Pro Forma Financial Information” beginning on page 71 of this prospectus/proxy statement.
Resale of Croghan common shares
Croghan has registered the Croghan common shares to be issued in the merger with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No restrictions on the sale or other transfer of the Croghan common shares issued in the merger will be imposed solely as a result of the merger, except for restrictions on the transfer of Croghan common shares issued to any Indebancorp shareholder who may become an “affiliate” of Croghan for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The term “affiliate” is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and generally includes executive officers, directors and shareholders beneficially owning 10% or more of the outstanding Croghan common shares.
- 50 -
Employee matters
The merger agreement provides that employees of Indebancorp and its subsidiary who become employees of Croghan or one of its subsidiaries as a result of the merger will, as determined by Croghan, participate in either Indebancorp’s employee benefit plans (for so long as Croghan determines necessary or appropriate) or in the employee benefit plans sponsored by Croghan for Croghan’ employees. Employees of Indebancorp will receive credit for their years of service with Indebancorp for participation and vesting purposes under the applicable Croghan employee benefit plans, including credit for years of service and for seniority under vacation and sick pay plans and programs. Employees of Indebancorp and its subsidiary who become employees of Croghan as a result of the merger will not be subject to any reduction in the amount of their paid vacation time off, subject to a maximum of four weeks per year. In addition, to the extent employees of Indebancorp participate in the Croghan group health plan, Croghan will waive all restrictions and limitations forpre-existing conditions under the Croghan group health plan.
If, within 180 days after the effective date of the merger, an employee of Indebancorp (other than an employee who has a written agreement with Indebancorp or any of its subsidiaries which provides for severance benefits) is either terminated by Croghan other than for “cause,” then the terminated employee will be entitled to receive from Croghan a minimum of four weeks, and up to a maximum of 26 weeks, of severance pay based upon a formula of two weeks’ base pay for each year of service.
Dividends
The merger agreement generally restricts the payment of dividends to Indebancorp shareholders to the extent the timing of the closing of the merger would result in Croghan shareholders receiving an Indebancorp dividend and a Croghan dividend for the same period. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Indebancorp is not permitted, without the prior written consent of Croghan, to make, declare, pay or set aside for payment any dividend to Indebancorp shareholders except for (a) the payment of a cash dividend on Indebancorp common shares during the month of June 2013, in the amount of $0.35 per share (the “June dividend”) and (b) the payment of an additional cash dividend on Indebancorp common shares during the month of December 2013, in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) 25% of Indebancorp’s annualized net income per share for the 11 months ending November 30, 2013, less the amount of the June dividend, or (ii) $0.35 per Indebancorp common share. The record date for Indebancorp’s December 2013 dividend must be after the record date of Croghan’s normal December dividend on its common shares so that the shareholders of Indebancorp will receive either a dividend from Indebancorp or Croghan, but not both.

The Merger Agreement
The following is a description of the material terms of the merger agreement. A complete copy of the merger agreement is attached as Annex A to this prospectus/proxy statement and is incorporated into this prospectus/proxy statement by reference.We encourage you to read the merger agreement carefully, as it is the legal document that governs the merger.
The merger agreement contains representations and warranties of Indebancorp and Croghan. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information contained in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties delivered in connection with the execution of the merger agreement. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from the standard of materiality generally applicable to statements made by a corporation to shareholders or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts, or for any other purpose, at the time they were made or otherwise.
The merger
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the merger agreement, Indebancorp will merge with and into Croghan, with Croghan surviving the merger and continuing as an Ohio corporation and a registered bank holding company.
Effective time
Croghan and Indebancorp will cause the effective date of the merger of Indebancorp with and into Croghan to occur as soon as practicable after the last of the conditions set forth in the merger agreement has been satisfied or waived. Unless Croghan and Indebancorp otherwise agree in writing, the effective date of the merger will not be after December 31, 2013, or after the date on which any regulatory approval (or any extension thereof) expires. The merger will become effective upon the latest to occur of (a) the filing of a certificate of merger with the Ohio Secretary of State, or (b) at a later time that Croghan and Indebancorp agree to in writing and specify in
- 52 -
the certificate of merger. Croghan and Indebancorp currently anticipate closing the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and filing the certificate of merger with the Ohio Secretary of State on or before December 6, 2013.
Conversion of Indebancorp common shares
At the effective time of the merger, each issued and outstanding Indebancorp common share, excluding any Indebancorp common shares, if any, held by Croghan or by Indebancorp as treasury shares and any Indebancorp common shares, if any, as to which the holders have properly exercised dissenters’ rights, will be converted into the right to receive either (a) 1.63 common shares of Croghan, (b) cash in the amount of $55.00, or (c) a combination of common shares of Croghan and cash, all subject to the election and allocation procedures set forth in the merger agreement.
Croghan will not issue fractional Croghan common shares, or certificates or scrip representing fractional Croghan common shares in the merger. Instead, Croghan will pay to each holder who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional Croghan common share an amount in cash equal to the fractional interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account all Indebancorp common shares held immediately prior to the effective date of the merger) multiplied by the average closing price of Croghan common shares for the 20 consecutivetrading-day period ending immediately preceding the fifth trading day prior to the effective date of the merger.
At the effective time of the merger, the Indebancorp common shares will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist, and holders of Indebancorp common shares will cease to be, and will have no rights as, shareholders of Indebancorp, other than to receive the merger consideration pursuant to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement (and dissenters’ rights under Section 1701.85 of the Ohio Revised Code in the case of Indebancorp common shares as to which a holder has properly exercised dissenters’ rights).
Election procedures
Election. Each Indebancorp shareholder will have the right to elect to receive for the Indebancorp common shares held, either (a) all cash, (b) all Croghan common shares, or (c) a combination of cash and Croghan common shares.
| • | | All Cash Election. An Indebancorp shareholder who elects to receive all cash will receive an amount equal to $55.00 for each Indebancorp common share owned, subject to the allocation procedures described in the following section. |
| • | | All Share Election. An Indebancorp shareholder who elects to receive all Croghan common shares will receive 1.63 Croghan common shares for each Indebancorp common share owned, subject to the payment of cash in lieu of the issuance of fractional Croghan common shares, and subject to the allocation procedures described in the following section. |
| • | | Mixed Election.An Indebancorp shareholder who elects to receive a combination of cash and Croghan common shares will receive (a) cash, in an amount equal to $55.00 per share, for 30% of the Indebancorp common shares owned and (b) Croghan common shares, at the exchange ratio of 1.63 Croghan common shares for each Indebancorp common share owned, for 70% of the Indebancorp common shares owned, subject to the payment of cash in lieu of the issuance of fractional Croghan common shares. |
| • | | No Election.Indebancorp shareholders who do not make a valid election as to the form of consideration they wish to receive in the merger will receive, in exchange for their Indebancorp common shares, either all cash, all Croghan common shares, or any combination of cash and Croghan common shares, as determined by Croghan or the exchange agent, subject to the payment of cash in lieu of the issuance of fractional Croghan common shares. Croghan or the exchange agent will allocate the merger consideration (i.e., cash |
- 53 -
| and Croghan common shares) among allnon-electing Indebancorp shareholders in a manner that will (a) achieve the overall ratio of 70% of Indebancorp common shares converted into Croghan common shares and 30% of Indebancorp common shares converted into cash and (b) satisfy the elections made be the Indebancorp shareholders to the greatest extent possible subject to such overall ratio. |
Election Form. Prior to the special meeting of Indebancorp shareholders, an Election Form and other appropriate transmittal materials will be mailed to each Indebancorp shareholder. The Election Form will allow each Indebancorp shareholder to elect to receive all cash, all Croghan common shares, a combination of cash and Croghan common shares, or to indicate that the shareholder makes no election. Indebancorp shareholders who wish to elect the type of merger consideration they will receive in the merger should carefully review and follow the instructions included with the Election Form and transmittal materials.
The deadline for submitting an Election Form will be the fifth day prior to the effective time of the merger. An election will be considered to have been validly made by an Indebancorp shareholder only if the exchange agent receives, prior to the election deadline, an Election Form properly completed and executed by the shareholder, accompanied by a certificate or certificates representing the Indebancorp common shares as to which the election is being made, duly endorsed in blank or otherwise in form acceptable for transfer on the books of Indebancorp, or containing an appropriate guaranty of delivery from a member of a national securities exchange, a member of FINRA, or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States.
Any Indebancorp shareholder may, at any time prior to the election deadline, revoke his or her election and either (a) submit a new Election Form in accordance with the procedures described above or (b) withdraw the Election Form and Indebancorp share certificates deposited with the exchange agent by providing written notice that is received by the exchange agent by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the business day prior to the election deadline. All elections will be deemed to be revoked if the merger agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.
Indebancorp shareholders should not surrender their Indebancorp share certificates until they receive the Election Form and transmittal materials from the exchange agent.
Because the federal income tax consequences of receiving all Croghan common shares, all cash, or a mixture of Croghan common shares and cash will differ, Indebancorp shareholders are urged to read carefully the information set forth under the heading “The Proposed Merger – Material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger” and to consult their own tax advisors for a full understanding of the merger’s tax consequences to them.
Allocation
Subject to adjustment for cash paid in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares, the merger agreement requires that the aggregate consideration for the merger be a mixture of Croghan common shares and cash, with (a) 70% of the Indebancorp common shares outstanding at the effective time of the merger being exchanged for Croghan common shares and (b) 30% of the Indebancorp common shares outstanding at the effective time of the merger being exchanged for cash. For purposes of these allocations, all cash amounts paid to Indebancorp shareholders who exercise dissenters’ rights will be treated as having elected to receive all cash for their Indebancorp common shares.
If the elections by Indebancorp shareholders do not result in the required ratio of cash and stock consideration, the allocation procedures described below will be used to allocate the available cash and Croghan common shares among the Indebancorp shareholders to preserve the required ratio of cash and stock consideration, provided that Croghan may elect to waive such allocation procedures and to permit an oversubscription of cash or stock under certain circumstances.
Reduction of Indebancorp Common Shares Deposited for Cash. If, at the election deadline and after allocation of the “No Election” shares as described above, more than 30% of the total number of outstanding
- 54 -
Indebancorp common shares have been deposited for cash pursuant to the All Cash Election or the Mixed Election or have perfected dissenters’ rights, then the exchange agent will reallocate on a pro rata basis a certain number of Indebancorp common shares deposited for cash pursuant to the All Cash Election so that only 30% of the total number of outstanding Indebancorp common shares will be exchanged for cash. Indebancorp shareholders who have made the Mixed Election will not be subject to any required reallocation. All common shares that are eliminated from the shares deposited for cash pursuant to the All Cash Election will be converted into Croghan common shares. A notice will be provided to each shareholder whose Indebancorp common shares are reallocated as described above.
Increase of Indebancorp Common Shares Deposited for Cash. If, at the election deadline and after allocation of the “No Election” shares as described above, less than 30% of the total number of outstanding Indebancorp common shares have been deposited for cash pursuant to the All Cash Election or the Mixed Election or have perfected dissenters’ rights, then the exchange agent will reallocate on a pro rata basis a certain number of Indebancorp common shares deposited for Croghan common shares pursuant to the All Stock Election so that 30% of the total number of outstanding Indebancorp common shares will be exchanged for cash. Indebancorp shareholders who have made the Mixed Election will not be subject to any required reallocation. All common shares that are eliminated from the shares deposited for Croghan common shares pursuant to the All Stock Election will be converted into cash. A notice will be provided to each shareholder whose Indebancorp common shares are reallocated as described above.
Surrender of certificates
As promptly as practicable after the effective time of the merger, Croghan will send to each shareholder with an old certificate which was not deposited with the exchange agent, transmittal materials for use in exchanging the old certificate for the merger consideration. Upon the surrender of an Indebancorp share certificate to the exchange agent for cancellation, Croghan will cause new certificates representing the Croghan common shares into which a shareholder’s Indebancorp common shares were converted in the merger, and/or any check in respect of cash to be paid as part of the merger consideration and in respect of any fractional share interests or dividends or distributions which such shareholder is entitled to receive, to be delivered to the shareholder. No interest will be paid on any cash to be paid in exchange for Indebancorp common shares or in respect of dividends or distributions which any shareholder is entitled to receive under the terms of the merger agreement.
Until surrendered, each Indebancorp share certificate will be deemed after the effective time of the merger to represent only the right to receive, upon surrender of such certificate, a Croghan share certificate and/or a check in an amount equal to the sum of the cash to be paid to the holder as part of the merger consideration, any cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional Croghan common shares to which the holder is entitled under the terms of the merger agreement and any cash to be paid in respect of any dividends or distributions to which the holder may be entitled with respect to his or her Croghan common shares (in each case, without interest).
An Indebancorp shareholder will not be entitled to receive payment of any dividends or distributions with respect to Croghan common shares with a record date occurring on or after the effective time of the merger until the shareholder has followed the procedures described above for surrendering his or her Indebancorp share certificates. After an Indebancorp shareholder has properly surrendered his or her Indebancorp share certificates in exchange for Croghan common shares, the shareholder will be entitled to receive any dividends or distributions on the Croghan common shares with a record date occurring on or after the effective time of the merger. No interest will be paid on such dividends or distributions.
If any Indebancorp share certificate has been lost, wrongfully taken, or destroyed, the transmittal materials received from the exchange agent will explain the steps that the Indebancorp shareholder must take. Those steps may include providing the exchange agent or Croghan with:
| • | | evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of Croghan that the Indebancorp share certificate has been lost, wrongfully taken, or destroyed; |
- 55 -
| • | | a bond in an amount reasonably requested by Croghan or the exchange agent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Croghan and/or the exchange agent with respect to the Indebancorp share certificate; and |
| • | | evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of Croghan that the person was the owner of the Indebancorp common shares represented by the Indebancorp share certificate claimed to be lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed and that such person is the person who would be entitled to present such certificate for exchange pursuant to the merger agreement. |
Croghan Board of Directors structure following the merger
Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Croghan will expand the size of the Board of Directors of Croghan by two seats and will select two members of Indebancorp’s current Board of Directors to fill these seats and to fill two seats on the Board of Directors of Croghan Bank. Upon completion of the merger, the Croghan Board will take the necessary actions to appoint these two former Indebancorp directors to serve on the Board of Directors of Croghan until Croghan’ next annual shareholder meeting. For the 2014 annual shareholder meeting following the merger, Croghan will nominate and recommend the two former Indebancorp directors for reelection. As of the date of this prospectus/proxy statement, the Board of Directors of Croghan had not yet selected the Indebancorp directors who will serve on the Boards of Directors of Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank upon the completion of the merger.
Indemnification and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance
For a period of six years following the merger and subject to compliance with applicable state and federal laws, Croghan will indemnify each person who served as a director or officer of Indebancorp before the merger to the fullest extent permitted under Indebancorp’s governing documents and Ohio law from and against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that the person served as an officer or director of Indebancorp and/or National Bank. Indebancorp will purchase director and officer tail insurance coverage under its existing policy for a period up to six years provided that the cost shall not exceed $35,000 and that Indebancorp shall cooperate with Croghan to reduce such period and costs in the event Croghan is unable to provide substantially similar insurance coverage.

| • | | amend the organizational documents of Croghan or any of its subsidiaries in a manner that would adversely affect the economic or other benefits of the merger to the holders of shares of Indebancorp common stock; or |
| • | | agree or commit to do any of the foregoing. |
Expenses of the merger
Croghan and Indebancorp are each required to bear their own expenses incurred in connection with the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, except that printing and mailing expenses will be shared equally between Croghan and Indebancorp. All fees to be paid to regulatory authorities and the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement will be borne by Croghan.
Termination of the merger agreement
Termination by mutual consent. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Croghan and Indebancorp may mutually consent to terminate the merger agreement and abandon the merger at any time before the merger is effective, if the Board of Directors of each company approves the termination by vote of a majority of the members of its entire Board.
Termination by either Croghan or Indebancorp. Either Croghan or Indebancorp acting alone upon written notice to the other party may terminate the merger agreement and abandon the merger at any time before the merger is effective, if the Board of Directors of either company approves the termination by vote of a majority of the members of its Board in the following circumstances:
| • | | if there is a material breach by the other party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in the merger agreement that cannot be or has not been cured by the breaching party within 30 days after the giving of written notice to the breaching party of such breach; |
| • | | if the merger has not been consummated by December 31, 2013, unless the failure to complete the merger by that date is due to the knowing action or inaction of the party seeking to terminate the merger agreement, except that such date shall be extended until March 31, 2014 in accordance with the conditions in the merger agreement; |
| • | | if the approval of any governmental authority required for consummation of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement has been denied by final, nonappealable action of such governmental authority; or |
| • | | if the Indebancorp shareholders or the Croghan shareholders fail to adopt and approve the merger agreement at their special meetings. |
- 62 -
Automatic termination. The merger agreement will automatically terminate, without further act or action by either Indebancorp or Croghan, if (i) Indebancorp or its subsidiary executes a definitive agreement in respect of, or closes, any acquisition or purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of Indebancorp and/or its subsidiary or any merger, consolidation or business combination business with Indebancorp or its subsidiary or (ii) if Croghan does not elect to increase the share exchange ratio to the extent necessary to enable relevant counsel to render the tax opinions required under the merger agreement.
Termination in connection with decrease in Croghan Share Price. Indebancorp, upon written notice to Croghan, may terminate the merger agreement if both the average Croghan share price is less than $26.00, as adjusted (the “Croghan Reference Price”), and the Croghan share price has declined as a percentage of $34.38 by more than 20% from the decline, if any, in the SNL Bank and Thrift Index over the period beginning on the date of the execution of the merger agreement and ending on the trading day immediately preceding the fifth trading day prior to the effective day of the merger agreement. However, Indebancorp may not terminate the merger agreement if Croghan then offers to distribute to Indebancorp shareholders an additional number of Croghan common shares necessary in order to increase the share exchange ratio such that the product of the Share Exchange Ratio multiplied by the Croghan Reference Price equals or exceeds $42.38. If, in such case, Croghan elects not to distribute such additional Croghan common shares, the Indebancorp Board of Directors will determine, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, whether to terminate the merger agreement or to waive its right to terminate and proceed with the merger. There can be no assurance that the Indebancorp Board of Directors would elect to terminate or not to terminate the merger agreement under such circumstances.
In the event that the merger agreement is terminated and the merger abandoned, neither Indebancorp nor Croghan will have any liability or further obligation to the other party, except for continued compliance with certain surviving covenants and agreements identified in the merger agreement. In addition, the termination of the merger agreement will not relieve a breaching party from liability for any willful breach of the merger agreement giving rise to such termination.
Acquisition proposals and termination fee
Pursuant to the merger agreement, Indebancorp may not directly or indirectly take any action to solicit or initiate inquiries or proposals with respect to, or engage in negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information to, any person other than Croghan relating to any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Indebancorp and/or its subsidiary, or any merger, consolidation or business combination with Indebancorp and/or its subsidiary, unless Indebancorp’s Board of Directors, after consultation with and based upon the advice of legal counsel, determines in good faith that it must enter into negotiations or discussions with another party that has made an unsolicited acquisition proposal in order to fulfill its fiduciary duties to Indebancorp shareholders under applicable law and provides immediate written notice to Croghan prior to such discussion or negotiations of the substance of the acquisition proposal.
In the event that Indebancorp and/or its subsidiary executes a definitive agreement in respect of, or closes, any acquisition or purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of Indebancorp and/or its subsidiary or any merger, consolidation or business combination business with any party other than Croghan, Indebancorp must pay to Croghan in immediately available funds the sum of $1,140,000 within ten days after the earlier of such execution or closing.
Amendment
The merger agreement may be amended or modified at any time prior to the effective time of the merger by an agreement in writing signed by Croghan and Indebancorp, except that the merger agreement may not be amended after the Indebancorp special meeting if such amendment would violate Ohio law or the federal securities laws.

Description of Croghan Common Shares
General
Croghan’s authorized capital stock consists of 6,000,000 common shares, with a par value of $12.50 per share. As of June 30, 2013, 1,678,630 Croghan common shares were issued and outstanding. Each outstanding Croghan common share is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The holders of Croghan common shares have one vote per share on each matter on which shareholders are entitled to vote. The Board of Directors of Croghan is divided into three classes with the term of office of one class expiring each year. One class of directors is elected each year at the annual meeting of shareholders to a three-year term.
Pursuant to the provisions of Croghan’s Amended Articles of Incorporation, holders of Croghan common shares do not have anypre-emptive rights to subscribe for or purchase Croghan common shares.
Croghan’s Board of Directors determines whether to declare dividends and the amount of any dividends declared on Croghan common shares. Such determinations by the Board of Directors take into account Croghan’s financial condition, results of operations and other relevant factors, and the payment of dividends by Croghan is subject to certain limitations. Information concerning the restrictions on the payment of dividends by Croghan is included in Note 18 to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this prospectus/proxy statement. No assurances can be given that dividends on Croghan common shares will be declared, or if declared, what the amount of any such dividends will be in future periods. See“Information with Respect to Croghan – Market Price of and dividends on Croghan common shares and related stockholder matters” on page 91 of this prospectus/proxy statement for information regarding dividends declared by the Croghan Board of Directors.
Anti-takeover statutes
Certain state laws make a change in control of an Ohio corporation more difficult, even if desired by the holders of a majority of the corporation’s shares. Provided below is a summary of the Ohio anti-takeover statutes.
Ohio Control Share Acquisition Statute.Section 1701.831 of the Ohio Revised Code, known as the “Ohio Control Share Acquisition Statute,” provides that specified notice and informational filings and special shareholder meetings and voting procedures must occur before consummation of a proposed “control share acquisition.” A control share acquisition is defined as any acquisition of shares of an “issuing public corporation” that would entitle the acquirer, directly or indirectly, alone or with others, to exercise or direct the voting power of the issuing public corporation in the election of directors within any of the following ranges:
| • | | one-fifth or more, but less thanone-third, of the voting power; |
| • | | one-third or more, but less than a majority, of the voting power; or |
| • | | a majority or more of the voting power. |
An “issuing public corporation” is an Ohio corporation with 50 or more shareholders that has its principal place of business, principal executive offices, or substantial assets within the State of Ohio, and as to which no close corporation agreement exists. Assuming compliance with the notice and informational filing requirements prescribed by the Ohio Control Share Acquisition Statute, the proposed control share acquisition may take place only if, at a duly convened special meeting of shareholders, the acquisition is approved by both:
| 1. | a majority of the voting power of the corporation represented in person or by proxy at the meeting; and |
| 2. | a majority of the voting power at the meeting exercised by shareholders, excluding: the acquiring shareholder, officers of the corporation elected or appointed by the directors of the corporation, employees of the corporation who are also directors of the corporation, and persons who acquire specified amounts of shares after the first public disclosure of the proposed control share acquisition. |
- 64 -
The Ohio Control Share Acquisition Statute permits a corporation to opt out of the application of its provisions in its articles or regulations. Croghan has not opted out of the provisions of the Ohio Control Share Acquisition Statute.
Ohio Merger Moratorium Statute.Chapter 1704 of the Ohio Revised Code, known as the “Ohio Merger Moratorium Statute,” prohibits specified business combinations and transactions between an issuing public corporation and a beneficial owner of shares representing 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors (an “interested shareholder”) for at least three years after the interested shareholder became such, unless the board of directors of the issuing public corporation approves either (1) the transaction or (2) the acquisition of the corporation’s shares that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder, in each case before the interested shareholder became such.
For three years after a person becomes an interested shareholder, the following transactions between the corporation and the interested shareholder (or persons related to the interested shareholder) are prohibited:
| • | | the sale or acquisition of an interest in assets meeting thresholds specified in the statute; |
| • | | mergers and similar transactions; |
| • | | a voluntary dissolution; |
| • | | the issuance or transfer of shares or any rights to acquire shares having a fair market value at least equal to 5% of the aggregate fair market value of the corporation’s outstanding shares; |
| • | | a transaction that increases the interested shareholder’s proportionate ownership of the corporation; and |
| • | | any other benefit that is not shared proportionately by all shareholders. |
After the three-year period, transactions between the corporation and the interested shareholder are permitted if:
| • | | the transaction is approved by the holders of shares with at leasttwo-thirds of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors (or a different proportion specified in the corporation’s articles of incorporation), including at least a majority of the outstanding shares after excluding shares controlled by the interested shareholder. |
Change in Control of Ohio Banks and Bank Holding Companies.Section 1115.06 of the Ohio Revised Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder containchange-of-control provisions which prohibit any person, acting directly or indirectly or in concert with one or more persons, from acquiring control of any Ohio bank or any bank holding company that has control of any Ohio bank unless the person has given the Ohio Superintendent of Financial Institutions 60 days prior written notice and the Superintendent has not disapproved the acquisition. Control, as defined in Section 1115.06, means the power, directly or indirectly, to direct the management or policies of a state bank or bank holding company or to vote 25% or more of any class of voting securities of a state bank or bank holding company.
Pursuant to the regulations promulgated under Section 1115.06, it is presumed, subject to rebuttal, that a person controls an Ohio bank or bank holding company if the person owns or has the power to vote 10% or more of any class of voting securities and either the bank or bank holding company has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or no other person owns or has the power to vote a greater percentage of that class of voting securities.
A corporation may elect not to be covered by the provisions of the Ohio Merger Moratorium Statute by the adoption of an appropriate amendment to its articles of incorporation. Croghan has not adopted such an amendment to opt out of the provisions of the Ohio Merger Moratorium Statute. However, the provisions of the Ohio Merger Moratorium Statute are not applicable to the proposed merger of Indebancorp with and into Croghan because Indebancorp is not an interested shareholder of Croghan as defined in the Ohio Merger
- 65 -
Moratorium Statute. The bank holding company provisions of Section 1115.06 are not applicable to the proposed merger of Indebancorp with and into Croghan. However, the merger of National Bank of Ohio with and into Croghan Colonial Bank is subject to the provisions of Section 1115.11 of the Ohio Revised Code, which requires the approval of the Ohio Superintendent of Financial Institutions of any bank merger in which the surviving bank will be an Ohio state-chartered bank. Croghan Colonial Bank has submitted an application to the Ohio Superintendent of Financial Institutions for approval of the merger of National Bank of Ohio with and into Croghan Colonial Bank, and this application is currently pending. The business combination results in shareholders, other than the interested shareholder, receiving a “fair market value” for their shares determined by the method described in the statute.
Comparison of Certain Rights of Croghan and Indebancorp Shareholders
Shareholders of Indebancorp will receive Croghan common shares in the merger and, therefore, will become shareholders of Croghan. Their rights as shareholders of Croghan will be governed by the Ohio Revised Code and by Croghan’s Amended Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Code of Regulations, while Indebancorp shareholders are currently governed by Ohio law and the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations of Indebancorp. Although the rights of the holders of Croghan common shares and those of the holders of shares of Indebancorp common stock are similar in many respects, there are some differences. These differences relate to differences between the provisions of the Amended Articles of Incorporation of Croghan and the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Indebancorp, and differences between provisions of the Amended and Restated Code of Regulations of Croghan and the Code of Regulations of Indebancorp.
The following summary compares certain rights of the holders of Indebancorp common shares to the rights of holders of Croghan common shares in areas where those rights are materially different. This summary, however, does not purport to be a complete description of such differences and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the relevant provisions of Ohio law and the respective corporate governance instruments of Indebancorp and Croghan.
Authorized and outstanding shares
Croghan’s authorized capital stock consists of 6,000,000 common shares, with a par value of $12.50 per share. As of June 30, 2013, 1,678,630 Croghan common shares were issued and outstanding.
Indebancorp’s authorized capital stock consists of (i) 5,000,000 common shares, without par value, of which 519,082 shares were issued and outstanding, and (ii) 1,000,000 serial preferred shares, without par value, none of which is outstanding.
Notice of shareholder meetings
Pursuant to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Code of Regulations of Croghan and Ohio law, written notice of an annual or special meeting of the Croghan shareholders must be given to each shareholder of record in accordance with applicable law at least seven and not more than 60 days prior to the date of the meeting. Such notice must state the time, place and purpose of the meeting and the purpose or purposes of the meeting. Notice of any meeting of shareholder may be waived in writing either before or after the meeting.
Pursuant to the applicable provisions of Ohio law and of the Code of Regulations of Indebancorp, written notice of an annual or special meeting of the Indebancorp shareholders must be given to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. Any shareholder, at any time, may waive such notice.
- 66 -
Calling of special meetings of shareholders
Under the Amended and Restated Code of Regulations of Croghan, special meetings of the shareholders of Croghan may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, the Vice President in case of the President’s absence, the Secretary, a majority of the Board of Directors acting with or without a meeting, or by shareholders owning, in the aggregate, not less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Croghan.
Under the Code of Regulations of Indebancorp and the applicable provisions of Ohio law, special meetings of the shareholders of Indebancorp may be called by the President, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, by the directors at a meeting, by the a majority of the directors without a meeting, or by shareholders holding not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding shares of Indebancorp.
Voting
Croghan’s Amended Articles of Incorporation preclude shareholders to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. At all elections of directors, the candidates receiving the greatest number of votes shall be elected. Any other matter submitted to shareholders shall be decided by vote of such proportion of shares as required by law or Croghan’s governance documents. Each Croghan common share entitles its holder to one vote on each matter submitted to the shareholders for consideration.
Indebancorp’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation preclude shareholders of Indebancorp from cumulating their votes for the election of directors. Holders of serial preferred shares and holders of common shares of Indebancorp are entitled to one vote per share, respectively.
Special voting requirements
In most instances, matters submitted to the Croghan shareholders are decided by a majority of votes cast with respect to such matters. Under the default provisions of the Ohio Revised Code, however, certain extraordinary corporate actions, including mergers and other business combinations, must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of common shares entitling them to exercise at leasttwo-thirds of the voting power of the corporation.
In most instances, matters submitted to the Indebancorp shareholders are decided by a majority of votes cast with respect to such matters. However, Article SIXTH of Indebancorp’s Second and Amended Restated Articles of Incorporation contains certain supermajority voting requirements which apply to business combinations with Interested Shareholders or any Affiliate of an Interested Shareholder (collectively a “Related Person”). The requirements of Article SIXTH would apply with respect to the following transactions:
| • | | any merger or consolidation of Indebancorp or a subsidiary of Indebancorp with or into a Related Person; |
| • | | any sale, lease, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Indebancorp to a Related Person; |
| • | | any reclassification of securities or recapitalization of Indebancorp, or any merger or consolidation of the Indebancorp with any subsidiaries or any other transaction which has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the outstanding shares of any class of equity or convertible securities of Indebancorp or any subsidiary which is directly or indirectly owned by a Related Person; |
| • | | the issuance or transfer by Indebancorp or any subsidiary (in one transaction or a series of transactions) of a number or amount of securities to a Related Person; or |
| • | | the adoption of any plan or liquidation or dissolution of Indebancorp proposed by or on behalf of a Related Person. |
- 67 -
Pursuant to Article SIXTH, any of the transactions described above must be authorized and approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of (i) at leasttwo-thirds of the outstanding shares of each class of capital stock of Indebancorp, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote as a class and (ii) a majority of each class of those shares of capital stock of the Indebancorp issued and outstanding and entitled to vote as a class other than those shares owned by the Related Person.
The supermajority voting requirements imposed by Article SIXTH of the Indebancorp Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation are not applicable to any transaction that (i) has been approved by atwo-thirds vote of the total membership of the Board of Directors and a majority of the continuing directors, and (ii) provides for a price to be paid in cash for the shares of capital stock of Indebancorp in an amount not less than the highest price, including commissions, previously paid by the Related Person for any of the shares of that class. For purposes of Article SIXTH, a “continuing director” means any member of the Board of Directors of Indebancorp elected by shareholders, or otherwise appointed, before an Interested Shareholder and any Affiliate beneficially owned four percent (4%) of the shares of a class of Indebancorp capital stock and is recommended to succeed a continuing director by a majority of continuing directors on the Board.
The provisions of Article SIXTH do not apply to the proposed merger of Indebancorp with and into Croghan because Croghan is not a Related Person of Indebancorp. In addition, the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger of Indebancorp with and into Croghan, have been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of Indebancorp.
Amendments to governing documents
Croghan’s Amended Articles of Incorporation may be amended in accordance with Ohio law. Croghan’s Amended and Restated Code of Regulations may be amended or repealed in accordance with the provisions of the Amended Articles of Incorporation and in accordance with Ohio law.
Any amendment, alteration, change or repeal of Indebancorp’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation generally must be approved by the holders of a majority of the shares of Indebancorp voting together as a single class, except that the holders of at leasttwo-thirds of the outstanding shares of Indebancorp voting together as a single class are required to approve any amendment, alteration, change or repeal of certain specified sections of the Indebancorp Articles of Incorporation, including Article SIXTH. Indebancorp’s Code of Regulations may be altered, amended, added to or repealed as provided by Ohio law and the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of Indebancorp, provided, however, that any amendment to provisions relating to the number of the directors and the nominations of directors shall require the approval of eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding voting stock of Indebancorp.
Number and class of directors
The Croghan Board of Directors, which must consist of no fewer than five nor more than 16 directors, currently consists of 12 directors. The Indebancorp Board of Directors, which must consist of no fewer than five nor more than 15 directors, currently consists of seven directors. Both the Croghan Board of Directors and the Indebancorp Board of Directors are divided into three classes of approximately equal number, with each class being elected for staggered three-year terms.
Nomination of directors
Under Croghan’s Amended and Restated Code of Regulations, either the Croghan Board of Directors or any shareholder entitled to vote in the election of directors may nominate a candidate for election to the Croghan Board of Directors by submitting a notice in writing to the Secretary of Croghan. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice for election of a director at an annual meeting of shareholders must be received by the Secretary of Croghan on or before December 31 immediately preceding such annual meeting, or within a reasonable time as
- 68 -
determined by the Board of Directors. In the case of a special meeting, to be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be received by the Secretary no later than the close of business on the seventh day following the notice date of the special meeting. A shareholder’s notice must set forth:
| • | | the name, age, business address or residence address of the proposed nominee; |
| • | | the principal occupation or employment of the proposed nominee; and |
| • | | the class and number of shares of Croghan beneficially owned and/or of record by the proposed nominee and the length of time the shares have been owned. |
Under Indebancorp’s Code of Regulations, nominations of persons for election as directors of Indebancorp at any annual meeting of shareholders may be made by the directors or any shareholder entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting. Nominations by shareholders must be made in writing and delivered or mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of Indebancorp not less than 45 days in advance of the corresponding date of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders. With respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of shareholders for the election of directors, notice must be received by the Secretary of Indebancorp by the seventh day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to shareholders. A shareholder’s notice must set forth:
| • | | the name and address of the shareholder who intends to make the nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated; |
| • | | a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; |
| • | | a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the shareholder; and |
| • | | the consent of each nominee to serve as a director if so elected. |
Removal of directors
Directors of Croghan may only be removed by (i) the affirmative vote of the holders of not less thantwo-thirds of the voting power of shareholders qualified to vote in the election of directors or (ii) if any class or series of shares shall entitle the shareholders thereof to elect one or more directors, any director may be removed by the affirmative vote oftwo-thirds of such class or series.
Directors of Indebancorp may be removed by the affirmative vote of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the votes eligible to be cast by Indebancorp shareholders entitled to vote in the election of directors.
Indemnification of directors and officers
Pursuant to Article FIVE of Croghan’s Amended and Restated Code of Regulations, Croghan is required to indemnify its present and past directors, officers, employees and agents, and such other persons as it has the power to indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted under the Ohio Revised Code provided, no claim for indemnification is a result of an intent to cause injury to the Corporation or by a reckless disregard for the best interests of the Corporation, and in respect to a criminal matter, the conduct was not unlawful. Under Ohio Law and the Amended and Restated Code of Regulations, Croghan is also authorized to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of or for its present and past directors, officers, employees and agents against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him in any such capacity.
Indebancorp’s Code of Regulations require Indebancorp to indemnify each director and each officer of Indebancorp, and each person employed by Indebancorp who serves at the written request of the President of
- 69 -
Indebancorp as a director, trustee, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, domestic or foreign,non-profit or for profit, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to the full extent permitted by Ohio law. The indemnification permitted by Indebancorp’s Code of Regulations does not restrict the power of the Indebancorp to also purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Indebancorp, against any liabilities asserted against or incurred by them in such capacities.
Personal liability of directors
Under Ohio law, a director of an Ohio corporation will not be found to have violated his or her fiduciary duties to the corporation or its shareholders unless there is proof by clear and convincing evidence that the director has not acted in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. In addition, under Ohio law, a director is liable in damages for any action or failure to act as a director only if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence that such act or omission was undertaken either with deliberate intent to cause injury to the corporation or with reckless disregard for the best interests of the corporation, unless the corporation’s articles of incorporation or regulations make this provision inapplicable by specific reference. The organizational documents of Croghan and Indebancorp do not make this provision inapplicable.
Pre-emptive rights
Under the Amended Articles of Incorporation of Croghan, shareholders of Croghan do not have any preemptive rights to purchase shares when issued by Croghan.
Similarly, Indebancorp’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that no holder of any shares of Indebancorp, regardless of class, will have anypre-emptive or preferential right to purchase or subscribe to any part of any new or additional issue of shares of any class whatsoever of securities of Indebancorp, or of securities convertible into shares of any class whatsoever of securities of Indebancorp, whether now or hereafter authorized or issued except as provided by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

Pro Forma Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and for the year ended December 31, 2012, have been prepared to reflect the merger of Indebancorp with and into Croghan as if the merger had occurred on June 30, 2013, with respect to the balance sheet, and as of January 1, 2012, with respect to each of the statements of income, in each case giving effect to the pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The pro forma adjustments are based on estimates made for the purpose of preparing these pro forma financial statements. The actual adjustments to the accounts of Croghan will be made based on the underlying historical financial data at the time the transaction is consummated. Croghan’s management believes that the estimates used in these pro form financial statements are reasonable under the circumstances.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information has been prepared based on the purchase method of accounting assuming that 592,272 Croghan common shares will be issued in the merger and that no Indebancorp shareholders will perfect dissenters’ rights with respect to the merger. This information will vary if any Indebancorp shareholders perfect dissenters’ rights. For a discussion of the purchase method of accounting, see “The Proposed Merger – Accounting treatment” beginning on page 50 of this prospectus/proxy statement.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position had the merger been effective at that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of income are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the merger been effective at the beginning of the periods indicated, or of the future results of operations of Croghan. These pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the related notes incorporated elsewhere in this prospectus/proxy statement.
These pro forma financial statements do not include the effects of any potential cost savings which management believes will result from operating the Indebancorp and NBOH banking business as branches and combining certain operating procedures.

Compensation of Executive Officers
Provided below is an overview of Croghan’s compensation policies and practices for its executive officers, including named executive officers. The term “named executive officers” refers to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and those other executive officers of Croghan included in the Summary Compensation Table below.
Objectives of Croghan Compensation Programs
The primary objective of Croghan’s compensation programs is to provide competitive compensation to attract, retain, and motivate qualified employees who will contribute to the long-term success of Croghan. In furtherance of this objective, Croghan regularly evaluates the compensation provided to Croghan’s executive officers to ensure that it remains competitive in relation to the compensation paid to similarly situated executive officers at other financial institutions of comparable size and performance. In addition, Croghan endeavors to ensure that the compensation provided to Croghan’s executive officers is internally equitable based upon the skill requirements and responsibilities associated with each executive position.
Croghan’s compensation programs are designed to reward each executive officer’s job performance and contributions to Croghan. These factors are generally determined in the subjective judgment of Croghan’s Compensation Committee for the Chief Executive Officer and with the benefit of performance reviews and salary recommendations by the Chief Executive Officer and Croghan’s human resources department for other executive officers.
In making compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee places significant emphasis on Croghan’s performance relative to Croghan’s industry and peers. The Compensation Committee generally has not considered stock price as an indicator of company performance in making compensation decisions because the price of Croghan’s common shares is subject to a variety of factors outside of Croghan’s control.
- 79 -
Components of 2012 Executive Compensation
The following are general components to the annual compensation that Croghan provides to its executive officers.
| • | | retirement and death benefits |
| • | | perquisites and other benefits |
Base Salary
Base salary represents the primary component of annual compensation paid to Croghan’s executive officers. When recommending an executive officer’s salary within the pay range established by peer group comparison data, Croghan’s Compensation Committee primarily considers the executive officer’s job performance and contribution to the objectives of Croghan. As discussed above, these factors are determined in the subjective judgment of the Compensation Committee for the Chief Executive Officer and with the benefit of performance reviews and salary recommendations by the Chief Executive Officer for other executive officers of Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank. To a lesser extent, the Compensation Committee also considers local and national economic conditions and future business prospects of Croghan Colonial Bank in setting base salary levels.
Cash Bonuses
Effective January 1, 2003, Croghan Colonial Bank introduced the “Performance Compensation for STAKEHOLDERS™” program in which all employees, including the named executive officers, participate. Pursuant to this program, employees of Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank are eligible to receive annual cash bonuses based on the attainment of established company-wide performance goals. These goals focus on four general areas of company performance: growth, profitability, loan quality, and productivity. Performance targets and bonus levels under the program are established at the start of the each fiscal year through a collaborative effort involving management and the Compensation Committee, and are subject to final approval by the Board of Directors. Additionally, Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank occasionally award discretionary cash bonuses to its executive officers to attract new executive officers, to reward exceptional job performance, or to address special circumstances. Discretionary bonuses are awarded on a limited basis and are not contemplated or anticipated when setting annual compensation for Croghan’s executive officers.
Equity-Based Awards
Croghan believes that it is also important to provide compensation which serves as an incentive for pursuing the long-term growth, profitability and financial success of the company. Accordingly, the Board of Directors adopted the Croghan Bancshares, Inc. 2002 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”), which was approved by the shareholders of Croghan at the 2002 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The 2002 Plan expired in accordance with its terms in March 2012, as a result of which no further awards may be granted under the 2002 Plan. The Board subsequently adopted the Croghan Bancshares, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which was approved by the shareholders of Croghan at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Perquisites and Other Benefits
Croghan provides its executive officers with certain perquisites and other benefits that the Compensation Committee believes are reasonable to enable Croghan to attract and retain qualified executive officers and to promote business development activities by the executive officers in the communities served by Croghan Colonial Bank. In accordance with past practice, Croghan approved cash bonuses in 2012 to reimburse certain
- 80 -
executive officers, including certain named executive officers, for the cost of dues to the Fremont Country Club and the Catawba Island Club. The Compensation Committee believes that these perquisites and other benefits are reasonable in amount and consistent with those provided by similarly situated financial institutions in Croghan’s market area.
The executive officers of Croghan are eligible to participate in Croghan Colonial Bank’s 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan on the same basis as all full-time employees of Croghan Colonial Bank. For each executive officer or other employee who participates in the 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, Croghan Colonial Bank matches 50% of contributions up to 6% of the participant’s annual compensation, with a maximum match of 3% of annual compensation. Croghan may also provide an annual discretionary contribution to the 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan on behalf of executive officers and other employees based upon a Board-established target percentage of employee compensation for those eligible to participate in the plan.
The executive officers of Croghan are also eligible to participate in all of the employee benefit plans, such as medical, dental, group term life insurance, and disability insurance, which are generally available to all employees of Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank on anon-discriminatory basis.

Employment Agreement with Rick M. Robertson
On November 9, 2010, Croghan Colonial Bank entered into an employment agreement with Rick M. Robertson with respect to Mr. Robertson’s service as President and Chief Executive Officer of Croghan Colonial Bank (the “Robertson Agreement”).
The Robertson Agreement provides for an initial term of three years commencing on August 30, 2010. Beginning on August 30, 2011 and each day thereafter, the initial term is automatically extended for one (1) additional day unless either party provides the other with at least 90 days prior written notice that the term will not be extended, such that the term will have a rolling two (2) year term after August 30, 2011.
Pursuant to the Robertson Agreement, Mr. Robertson is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $230,000 that may be adjusted in accordance with the salary administration program in effect for Bank employees generally. Mr. Robertson was eligible to receive a discretionary annual bonus for the period ending December 31, 2010 and is eligible to receive an annual bonus for each period beginning after December 31, 2010 equal to between five percent (5%) and twenty percent (20%) of his annual base salary. The amount of this annual bonus is based on the satisfaction or attainment of mutually acceptable performance goals. Mr. Robertson is entitled to participate in the various employee benefit plans, programs, and arrangements available to other senior officers of Croghan Colonial Bank.
If Mr. Robertson’s employment is terminated by Croghan Colonial Bank without “cause” (as defined in the Robertson Agreement) or voluntarily terminates his employment for “good reason” (as defined in the Robertson Agreement), Mr. Robertson will be entitled to a payment equal to two times his annual base salary.
- 83 -
If Mr. Robertson’s employment is terminated without cause within twenty-four (24) months following a “change in control” (as defined in the Robertson Agreement), in lieu of any other payment under the Robertson Agreement, Mr. Robertson will be entitled to: (a) two times his annual base salary; (b) a payment equal to 14% of his annual base salary; and (c) a payment equal to his “target” bonus opportunity.
If any payment or distribution to Mr. Robertson under the Robertson Agreement or otherwise would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the payments and or distributions under the Robertson Agreement or otherwise will be reduced to $1.00 less than the amount which would cause the payments or distributions to be subject to the excise tax.
If, following the termination of Mr. Robertson’s employment other than for cause, Croghan Colonial Bank determines that cause to terminate Mr. Robertson existed, Mr. Robertson will forfeit any future rights to payment under the Robertson Agreement and will be required to repay any amounts paid under the Robertson Agreement upon written notice from the Board of Directors of Croghan Colonial Bank.
The Robertson Agreement containsnon-competition andnon-solicitation covenants to prevent Mr. Robertson, during the term of the Robertson Agreement and for twenty-four (24) months thereafter, from competing with Croghan Colonial Bank within a100-mile radius of Fremont, Ohio, or soliciting customers or employees of Croghan Colonial Bank to terminate their relationship with Croghan Colonial Bank. The Robertson Agreement also contains a nondisclosure covenant that prevents Mr. Robertson from disclosing confidential information.
Certain relationships and related transactions
Pursuant to its Charter, Croghan’s Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and overseeing the procedures designed to identify “related party” transactions that are material to Croghan’s consolidated financial statements or otherwise require disclosure under applicable laws and the Audit Committee has the authority to approve such “related party” transactions.
During the 2012 and 2011 fiscal years, Croghan Colonial Bank entered into banking-related transactions in the ordinary course of business with certain executive officers, directors, and principal shareholders of Croghan (including certain executive officers of Croghan Colonial Bank), members of their immediate families and corporations or organizations with which they are affiliated. It is expected that similar transactions will be entered into in the future. Loans to such persons have been made on substantially the same terms, including the interest rate charged and collateral required, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not affiliated with Croghan or Croghan Colonial Bank. These loans have been, and are presently, subject to no more than the normal risk of collectibility and present no other unfavorable features.

Information With Respect to Croghan
Description of Croghan’s business
General
Croghan was organized under the laws of the State of Ohio on September 27, 1983, and is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). As the result of a reorganization effective in 1984, Croghan acquired all of the voting shares of The Croghan Colonial Bank (“Croghan Colonial Bank”), an Ohio chartered bank organized in 1888. Croghan Colonial Bank is the only direct subsidiary of Croghan and substantially all of Croghan’s operations are conducted through Croghan Colonial Bank. Croghan Colonial Bank has one wholly-owned insurance company subsidiary, Croghan Insurance Agency LLC (“Croghan Insurance”), which was organized on August 21, 2009 as an Ohio limited liability company for the purpose of allowing Croghan Colonial Bank to participate in certain commission revenue generated through its third party insurance agreement. The principal offices of Croghan, Croghan Colonial Bank, and Croghan Insurance are located at 323 Croghan Street, Fremont, Ohio. Croghan Colonial Bank operates 13 Ohio branch offices, including one in Bellevue, one in Clyde, one in Custar, four in Fremont, one in Green Springs, one in Monroeville, one in Norwalk, one in Port Clinton, and two in Tiffin.
Croghan maintains a website at www.croghan.com (this uniform resource locator, or URL, is an inactive textual reference only and is not intended to incorporate Croghan’s website into this prospectus/proxy statement).
Through Croghan Colonial Bank, Croghan operates in one industry segment – the commercial banking industry. Croghan Colonial Bank conducts a general banking business embracing the usual functions of commercial, retail, and savings banking, including time, savings, money market and demand deposits; commercial, industrial, agricultural, real estate, consumer installment, and credit card lending; safe deposit box rental; automatic teller machines; trust department services; and other services tailored for individual customers. Croghan Colonial Bank originates and services secured and unsecured loans to individuals, firms, and corporations. Direct loans are made to individuals and installment obligations are purchased from retailers, both with and without recourse. Croghan Colonial Bank makes a variety of residential, industrial, commercial, and agricultural loans secured by real estate, including interim construction financing. Croghan Colonial Bank also sells qualified mortgage loans in the secondary market and generally retains servicing for such loans. Additionally, investment products bearing no FDIC insurance are offered through Croghan Colonial Bank’s Trust and Investment Services Division.
Interest and fees on loans are Croghan Colonial Bank’s primary sources of income. Croghan Colonial Bank’s principal expenses are interest paid on deposit accounts and borrowed funds, and personnel and operating costs. Operating results are dependent to a significant degree on the “net interest income” of Croghan Colonial Bank, which is the difference between the interest income derived from its interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense paid on its interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of deposits and borrowings. Interest income and interest expense are significantly affected by general economic conditions and the policies of various regulatory authorities.
Croghan’s only sources of funds are dividends and interest paid by Croghan Colonial Bank. The ability of Croghan Colonial Bank to pay dividends is subject to limitations under various laws and regulations, and to prudent and sound banking principles. Dividend restrictions of Croghan Colonial Bank are further discussed in Note 18 of the December 31, 2012, audited financial statements which are included elsewhere in this prospectus/proxy statement.
As a bank holding company, Croghan is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the FRB. The deposits of Croghan Colonial Bank are insured up to the applicable limits by the FDIC and, therefore, Croghan Colonial Bank is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the FDIC. As a bank incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio, Croghan Colonial Bank is also subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Division. See “Supervision and Regulation” and Note 18, “Regulatory Matters” of the December 31, 2012, audited financial statements.

Because Croghan’s activities have been limited primarily to holding the common shares of Croghan Colonial Bank, the following discussion of operations focuses primarily on the business of Croghan Colonial Bank. The following discussion encompasses only domestic operations since neither Croghan nor Croghan Colonial Bank have any foreign operations or foreign loans.
Recent Developments
On August 7, 2013, Croghan Colonial Bank announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell its Custar, Ohio branch, including the loans and deposit liabilities of the branch, to Farmers & Merchants State Bank, headquartered in Archbold, Ohio. The Custar, Ohio branch had approximately $29.5 million in deposits as of August 6, 2013. Subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions, the branch sale is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2013.
Termination and Suspension of SEC Reporting Obligations
Prior to 2013, Croghan was an SEC-reporting company and filed reports, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, with the SEC under the Exchange Act. Croghan was also required to comply with regulations governing proxy solicitations, and certain shareholders were required to file security ownership reports. In April 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law and amended Sections 12(g) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act to increase the holders of record threshold for banks and bank holding companies to terminate the proxy solicitation and share ownership reports and to suspend their obligations to file Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Prior to the adoption of the JOBS Act, Croghan was permitted to suspend and terminate those obligations only if there were fewer than 300 holders of record of Croghan’s common shares. The JOBS Act, however, increased the holder of record threshold applicable to Croghan from 300 to 1,200. Because Croghan had fewer than 700 holders of record of its common shares at the time of the adoption of the JOBS Act, Croghan became eligible to suspend and terminate those obligations. Due to the expense associated with preparing and filing periodic reports with the SEC and the historically low trading volume of Croghan’s common shares, among other reasons, the Board of Directors of Croghan approved deregistration of Croghan’s common shares under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of Croghan’s reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the fourth quarter of 2012. Croghan subsequently filed with the SEC a Form 15 on November 13, 2012 to terminate the registration of its common shares under Section 12(g) and a Form 15 on March 27, 2013 to suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d).
Because the common shares of Croghan to be issued to shareholders of Indebancorp in the merger are being registered with the SEC pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4, Croghan will be required to recommence filing reports with the SEC under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act beginning with the filing of a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending September 30, 2013. Croghan’s obligation to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act will continue through the filing of a Form 10-K for the fiscal year in which the Registration Statement on Form S-4 is amended to deregister any shares not issued in connection with the merger (currently anticipated to be 2013) and will then automatically terminate if Croghan has fewer than 1,200 holders of record as of the first day of the fiscal year in which the Form 10-K is filed. Croghan expects that the number of record holders of its common shares will continue to be less than 1,200 following the closing of the merger and the issuance of its common shares to shareholders of Indebancorp in the merger. As a result, Croghan anticipates that it will be eligible to suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act following the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

Employees
At June 30, 2013, Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank had a total of 179 employees, 149 of which were employed on a full-time basis. Croghan has no separate employees not also employed by Croghan Colonial Bank. No employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. Management considers its employee relations to be good.
Competition
Croghan Colonial Bank faces intense competition in its market areas. Croghan Colonial Bank competes for commercial and individual deposits and/or loans with other commercial banks in Huron, Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca, and Wood counties in Northwestern Ohio, as well as with savings and loan associations in the trade area, credit unions, brokerage firms, mutual funds, and loan production offices and other financial units ofnon-local bank holding companies. As of June 30, 2012, Croghan had approximately 0.2% of the total deposits in Ohio and ranked 33rd among FDIC-insured institutions with respect of total deposits in Ohio. Many competitors of Croghan Colonial Bank have substantially greater resources and lending limits and can offer services that Croghan Colonial Bank does not or cannot provide. The primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates charged and overall services provided to borrowers, while the primary factors in competing for deposits are interest rates paid on deposits, account liquidity, convenience, hours of facilities, and quality of service provided to depositors. Croghan Colonial Bank focuses on personalized service, convenience of facilities, pricing of products, community stature, and its local ownership and control in meeting its competition.
Supervision and Regulation
Croghan is registered as a bank holding company under the BHCA. As a bank holding company, Croghan is required to file periodic reports with, and is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by, the FRB. Such examination by the FRB determines whether Croghan is operating in accordance with various regulatory requirements and in a safe and sound manner.
The FRB has extensive enforcement authority over bank holding companies, including the ability to assess civil money penalties, issue cease and desist orders, and require that a bank holding company divest subsidiaries. In general, the FRB may initiate enforcement actions for activities that are deemed by the FRB to constitute a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness, or stability of a bank holding company, that are inconsistent with sound banking principles, or that are in violation of law. Further, bank holding companies and their subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tying arrangements in connection with any extension of credit or lease or sale of any property or the furnishing of services.
Subject to certain exceptions, the BHCA requires a bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the FRB before (a) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of any bank or bank holding company, (b) merging or consolidating with any other bank holding company, or (c) acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any other bank, if after such acquisition, the bank holding company would own or control more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank. In making such determinations, the FRB considers the effect of the acquisition on competition, the financial and managerial resources of the holding company, and the convenience and needs of the affected communities.
The BHCA also prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank and from engaging in any activities other than banking or managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to its subsidiaries. The primary exception to this prohibition allows a bank holding company to own shares in any company the activities of which the FRB has determined, by order or regulation, to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the “GLB Act”) permits qualifying bank holding companies to become financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and
- 88 -
engage in other activities that are financial in nature. A bank holding company may become a financial holding company if each of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized under the prompt corrective action provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Act of 1991, is well managed, and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act, by filing a declaration that the bank holding company wishes to become a financial holding company. Croghan has not elected to become a financial holding company at this time, but intends to periodicallyre-evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of becoming a financial holding company.
As an Ohio-chartered bank, Croghan Colonial Bank is further subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Division. Chapter 1109 of the Ohio Revised Code imposes limitations on the amount of certain types of loans and other investments that an Ohio-chartered bank is permitted to make. In addition, the aggregate amount that an Ohio-chartered bank can lend to any one borrower is limited by Ohio law to an amount equal to 15% of the institution’s unimpaired capital. An Ohio-chartered bank may lend to one borrower an additional amount not to exceed 10% of the institution’s unimpaired capital, if the additional amount is fully secured by certain forms of “readily marketable collateral.” Real estate is not considered “readily marketable collateral.”
The Division conducts periodic examinations of Croghan Colonial Bank, often times on a joint basis with the FRB examiners. The Division may initiate certain supervisory measures or formal enforcement actions against an Ohio-chartered bank. Ultimately, if the grounds provided by law exist, the Division may place an Ohio-chartered bank in conservatorship or receivership. Any mergers, acquisitions, or changes of control involving an Ohio-chartered bank must be approved by the Division.
In addition to Ohio laws relating to banks, Croghan Colonial Bank is subject to the Ohio general corporation law to the extent such law does not conflict with the laws specifically governing banks.
Croghan Insurance, Croghan Colonial Bank’s wholly-owned insurance agency subsidiary, is also subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the State of Ohio and the Ohio Department of Insurance. The insurance laws and regulations require education and licensing of agencies and individual agents, require reports, and impose business conduct rules.
Croghan Colonial Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve System and is subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the FRB. The FRB issues regulations governing the operations of state member banks, examines state member banks, and may initiate enforcement actions against state member banks and certain persons affiliated with them for violations of laws and regulations or for engaging in unsafe or unsound practices. If the grounds provided by law exist, the FRB may appoint a conservator or a receiver for a state member bank.
Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and the FRB’s Regulation W restrict transactions by banks and their subsidiaries with their affiliates. Generally, Sections 23A and 23B and Regulation W: (a) limit the extent to which a bank or its subsidiaries may engage in “covered transactions” with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of the bank’s capital stock and surplus (i.e., tangible capital); (b) limit the extent to which a bank or its subsidiaries may engage in “covered transactions” with all affiliates to 20% of the bank’s capital stock and surplus; and (c) require that all such covered transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the bank or subsidiary, as those provided to anon-affiliate. The term “covered transactions” includes the making of loans, the purchase of assets, the issuance of a guarantee, and other similar types of transactions.
A bank’s authority to extend credit to executive officers, directors, and greater than 10% shareholders, as well as entities controlled by such persons, is subject to Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O promulgated by the FRB. Among other requirements, these loans must be made on terms substantially the same as those offered to unaffiliated persons, or be made as part of a benefit or compensation program and on terms widely available to employees, and must not involve a greater than normal risk of
- 89 -
repayment. The amount of loans a bank may make to these persons is based, in part, on the bank’s capital position, and specified approval procedures must be followed in making loans which exceed specified amounts.
Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank are subject to the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended (the “CRA”), which is designed to encourage financial institutions to give special attention to the needs of low and moderate income areas in meeting the credit needs of the communities in which they operate. If the CRA regulatory evaluation of a bank’s activities is less than satisfactory, regulatory approval of proposed acquisitions, branch openings, and other applications requiring FRB approval may be delayed until a satisfactory CRA evaluation is achieved. Croghan Colonial Bank currently has a CRA regulatory evaluation of satisfactory.
Croghan Colonial Bank is a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati and, therefore, must maintain an investment in the capital stock of the FHLB. Upon the origination or renewal of a loan or advance, each FHLB is required by law to obtain and maintain a security interest in certain types of collateral. Each FHLB is required to establish standards of community investment or service that its members must maintain for continued access to long-term advances from the FHLB. The standards take into account a member’s performance under the CRA and its record of lending to first-time home buyers.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was enacted into law on July 21, 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act is significantly changing the regulation of financial institutions and the financial services industry. Because the Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of regulations with significant discretion, many of the details of the new law and the effects they will have on Croghan will not be known for months and even years.
Among the provisions already implemented pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the following provisions have or may have an effect on the business of Croghan and/or Croghan Colonial Bank:
| • | | a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been formed with broad powers to adopt and enforce consumer protection regulations; |
| • | | the federal law prohibiting the payment of interest on commercial demand deposit accounts was eliminated effective in July 2011; |
| • | | the assessment base for determining deposit insurance premiums has been expanded from domestic deposits to average assets minus average tangible equity; and |
| • | | public companies in all industries are or will be required to provide shareholders the opportunity to cast anon-binding advisory vote on executive compensation. |
Additional provisions not yet implemented that may have an effect on Croghan and/or Croghan Colonial Bank include the following:
| • | | new capital regulations for bank holding companies will be adopted, which may impose stricter requirements, and any new trust preferred securities issued after May 19, 2010, no longer constitute Tier I capital; and |
| • | | new corporate governance requirements applicable generally to all public companies in all industries will require new compensation practices and disclosure requirements, including requiring companies to “claw back” incentive compensation under certain circumstances, to consider the independence of compensation advisors, and to make additional disclosures in proxy statements with respect to compensation matters. |
Many provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act have not yet been implemented and will require interpretation and rule making by federal regulators. As a result, the ultimate effect of the Dodd-Frank Act on Croghan cannot yet be determined. However, it is likely that the implementation of these provisions will increase compliance costs and fees paid to regulators, along with possibly restricting the operations of Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank.

Properties
Croghan neither owns nor leases any properties. The principal offices of Croghan, Croghan Colonial Bank, and Croghan Insurance are located at 323 Croghan Street, Fremont, Ohio. In addition, Croghan Colonial Bank operates 13 banking centers, including one in Bellevue, one in Clyde, one in Custar, four in Fremont, one in Green Springs, one in Monroeville, one in Norwalk, one in Port Clinton, and two in Tiffin, Ohio. Croghan Colonial Bank’s operations center is also located in Fremont, Ohio. With the exception of the Port Clinton banking center and an ATM site north of Fremont, which are leased, all premises are owned by Croghan Colonial Bank.
Legal proceedings
Management is aware of no pending legal proceedings to which Croghan, Croghan Colonial Bank, or Croghan Insurance is a party or of which any of their property is subject, other than ordinary routine litigation to which Croghan Colonial Bank is a party incidental to its banking business. Croghan considers none of those proceedings to be material. Similarly, management is aware of no material proceedings involving Croghan, Croghan Colonial Bank, or Croghan Insurance that are contemplated by any governmental authority.
Market price of and dividends on Croghan common shares and related stockholder matters
The ability of Croghan to obtain funds for the payment of dividends on its common shares is largely dependent on the amount of dividends which may be declared and paid by Croghan Colonial Bank to Croghan. However, the FRB expects Croghan to serve as a source of strength to Croghan Colonial Bank, which may require Croghan to retain capital for further investment in Croghan Colonial Bank, rather than pay dividends to Croghan’s shareholders. The ability of Croghan Colonial Bank to pay dividends to Croghan is subject to various legal limitations and to prudent and sound banking principles. Generally, Croghan Colonial Bank may declare a dividend without the approval of the Division, unless the total dividends in a calendar year exceed the total of its net profits for the year plus its retained profits for the preceding two years, less required transfers to surplus. However, Croghan Colonial Bank is prohibited from paying dividends out of its surplus if, after paying such dividends, it would fail to meet the required minimum Total Risk-Based Ratio requirements and minimum Leverage Ratio requirements under the FRB guidelines.

During the same period, deposits increased $7,037,000 (1.4%) to $518,977,000 at June 30, 2013, compared to $511,940,000 at December 31, 2012, and federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements decreased $17,245,000 (53.3%) to $15,099,000 at June 30, 2013.
The decrease in cash was primarily used to fund the increase in securities as well as the repayment of securities sold under repurchase agreements. The component of the changes inavailable-for-sale securities during the period included purchases of $62,802,000, maturities of $43,516,000, and proceeds from the sale of $6,813,000 of securities which resulted in net gains of $308,000.
Total loans increased $189,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, including the impact of seasonal pay downs from certain commercial customers offset by modest growth in the commercial loan portfolio. Croghan continues to focus on growing the portfolio in its established markets as well as those resulting from the December 2011 branches acquisition.
A primary source of funding for Croghan is customer deposits, as well as federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. The net decrease in these funding sources during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 was $10,208,000 (1.9%). Components of the increase in deposits included a $15,740,000 (4.5%) increase in the liquid deposit category (demand, savings, NOW, and money market deposit accounts), which was partially offset by an $8,703,000 (5.4%) decrease in the time deposit category. The decrease in the federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase category primarily resulted from cash outflows of large deposit customers due to seasonality. Croghan strives to maintain a strong net interest margin by balancing deposit needs to fund anticipated loan demand and by maintaining the necessary deposit pricing structure.
Stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2013 decreased to $63,931,000, or $38.09 book value per common share, compared to $67,164,000, or $40.01 book value per common share, at December 31, 2012. The balance in stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2013 included accumulated other comprehensive income, consisting of net unrealized gains on securities classified asavailable-for-sale, net of related income taxes. At June 30, 2013, Croghan held $240,891,000 inavailable-for-sale securities with an unrealized gain, net of income taxes, of $1,035,000 compared $238,221,000 ofavailable-for-sale securities with an unrealized gain, net of income taxes, of $5,843,000, at December 31, 2012. The significant decrease in net unrealized security gains at June 30, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012 was attributable to temporary increases in long-term bond rates that occurred during the latter part of June 2013.
Croghan declared a cash dividend of $.32 per share on June 11, 2013, payable on July 31, 2013 to shareholders of record as of July 12, 2013. Year-to-date dividends declared by Croghan through June 30, 2013 amounted to $1,074,000, or $.64 per share.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, which represents the excess revenue generated from interest-earning assets over the interest cost of funding those assets, increased $351,000 (3.9%), for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. The net interest yield increased to 3.24% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, compared to 3.18% for the same period in 2012. The increase was due to the aforementioned increase in net interest income which more than offset the impact on the net interest margin calculation of the $11,477,000 increase in average interest-earning assets year-over-year. The increase in net interest income was largely attributable to the change in mix of interest-earning assets.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Croghan’s comprehensive loan policy provides guidelines for managing credit risk and asset quality. The policy details acceptable lending practices, establishes loan-grading classifications, and stipulates the use of a loan review process. Croghan employs three staff members dedicated to the credit analysis function to facilitate the early identification of problem loans, to help ensure sound credit decisions, and to assist in the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Croghan also engages an outside credit review firm to supplement the credit analysis function and to provide an independent assessment of the loan review process. Croghan’s loan policy, loan review process, and credit analysis staff facilitate management’s evaluation of the credit risk inherent in the lending function.
The following table provides information relating to the provision and allowance for loan losses for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (dollars in thousands):

During the second quarter of 2013, the Bank recognized a $100,000 provision for loan losses as compared to a $50,000 provision during the same period a year ago, an increase of $50,000. The 2013 year-to-date provision for loan losses of $225,000 is also $50,000 higher than the comparable period a year ago. The increase in the
- 93 -
2013 year-to-date provision for loan losses is primarily due to the increase in total potential problem loans, which is attributable to one large commercial loan customer. Net loan charge-offs decreased $151,000 to $351,000 during the first six months of 2013 compared to the same period a year ago. Charge-offs for the first six months of 2013 included $145,000 of charge-offs to onenon-commercial loan customer.
Total potential problem andnon-performing loans, which are summarized in the preceding table, increased $5,275,000, or 36.1%, to $19,879,000 at June 30, 2013, compared to $14,604,000 at December 31, 2012. This increase was primarily attributable to one large commercial relationship which was downgraded due to deteriorating cash flow experienced by the customer during the first quarter of 2013. The credit has continued to pay as agreed under the terms of its credit agreement with Croghan and was upgraded in late July 2013 based on improved financial results.
As illustrated in the following table, $11,724,000, or 95.1%, of total potential problem loans were less than 30 days past due and $12,290,000, or 99.7%, were secured with collateral at June 30, 2013.
Croghan typically classifies credits as potential problem loans, regardless of collateralization or the existence of contractually obligated guarantors, when a review of the borrower’s financial statements indicates that the borrowing entity does not generate sufficient operating cash flow to adequately service its debts. All potential problem loans at June 30, 2013 were performing loans (less than 90 days past due) with approximately 78% of outstanding borrowings collateralized by an interest in real property.
The following table provides additional detail pertaining to the past due status of Croghan’s potential problem loans as of the dates noted (Dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2013 | | | December 31, 2012 | |
Potential problem loans not currently past due | | $ | 8,332 | | | $ | 4,777 | |
Potential problem loans past due one day or more but less than 10 days | | | 941 | | | | 406 | |
Potential problem loans past due 10 days or more but less than 30 days | | | 2,451 | | | | 755 | |
Potential problem loans past due 30 days or more but less than 60 days | | | 210 | | | | 130 | |
Potential problem loans past due 60 days or more but less than 90 days | | | 391 | | | | 474 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total potential problem loans | | $ | 12,325 | | | $ | 6,542 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Management will continue to monitor asset quality trends throughout 2013 to ensure adequate provisions for loan losses are made in a timely manner. It is Croghan’s policy to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to provide for losses inherent in the portfolio. Management believes the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2013 is adequate to provide for those losses identified as well as those losses inherent within the loan portfolio.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Totalnon-interest income increased $107,000 (8.0%) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, and increased $259,000 (11.6%) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012. The quarterly increase was largely attributable to a $70,000 increase in gains on sale of loans and a $28,000 (9.8%) increase in trust income. The increase in non-interest income for the comparable six month periods was largely attributable to increases of $152,000 in gains on sale of loans and $115,000 (22.3%) in trust income. The increase in trust income was largely attributable to aone-time fee for an estate settlement during the first quarter of 2013. The increase in gains on sale of loans resulted from significant mortgage loan refinancing activity, especially during the first quarter of 2013, in response to the decrease in long-term interest rates.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES
Totalnon-interest expenses increased $180,000 (4.4%) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012, and increased $181,000 (2.2%) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012. Salaries, wages, and employee benefits increased $206,000 (9.7%) between comparable three-month periods and $434,000 (10.1%) between comparable six-month periods. Occupancy of premises expense decreased $13,000 (5.5%) between comparable three-month periods and $24,000 (4.9%) between comparable six-month periods. Amortization of core deposit intangible assets decreased $32,000 between comparable three-month periods and $64,000 between comparable six-month periods. Other operating expenses increased $19,000 (1.2%) between comparable three-month periods and decreased $165,000 (5.1%) between comparable six-month periods. The increase in salaries, wages, and employee benefits is attributable to certain employees hired inmid-2012, including mortgage loan originators hired to meet increased demand, as well as a commercial and real estate lender for the Tiffin operations. The decrease in the core deposit intangible asset amortization is attributable to accelerated amortization methods used for the December 2011 HSL branches acquisition. The increase to other operating expenses on a quarterly basis is a result of one-time expenses attributable to the pending merger transaction. However, on a year to date basis, other operating expenses are down due to a reduction in loan collection expense resulting from a refund of legal expenses for one large commercial customer.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Federal income tax expense decreased $40,000 (11.9%) between comparable three-month periods and increased $76,000 (16.7%) between comparable six-month periods. Croghan’s effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 was 17.5% compared to 19.7% for the second quarter of 2012, and was 16.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 16.5% for the same period in 2012. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012 was primarily attributable to tax exempt security income comprising 47.1% of pre-tax income in 2013 compared to 43.3% in 2012.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Short-term borrowings of federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements averaged $18,834,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to $25,359,000 for the six-month period ended June 30 2012, and $23,552,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Borrowed funds consist of borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB) and Great Lakes Bankers Bank (GLBB) and totaled $14,641,000 at June 30, 2013 compared to $15,199,000 at December 31, 2012. The only borrowed funds activity for the first six months of 2013 was scheduled payments on the GLBB term loan.
Capital expenditures for premises and equipment totaled $167,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, compared to $141,000 for the same period in 2012. Capital expenditures for the 2013 period included property purchased in the Port Clinton area, upgrades to ATM machines, and new web hosting software.
Loan commitments, including letters of credit, as of June 30, 2013, totaled $100,294,000 compared to $94,111,000 at December 31, 2012. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, these totals do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest rate risk is one of Croghan’s most significant financial exposures. This risk, which is common to the financial institution sector, is an integral part of Croghan’s operations and impacts the rate-pricing strategy for essentially all loan and deposit products. The management and oversight of interest rate risk, including the establishment of acceptable guidelines, is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Management Committee
- 95 -
(ALCO). ALCO, and the associated Asset/Liability Management Policy, seeks to quantify and monitor the risk, to adequately provide for liquidity needs, and to maximize net interest income by managing net interest yield.
Croghan monitors its interest rate risk through a sensitivity analysis, which strives to measure potential changes in future earnings and the fair values of its financial instruments that could result from hypothetical changes in interest rates. The first step in this analysis is to estimate the expected cash flows from Croghan’s financial instruments using the interest rates in effect at June 30, 2013. To arrive at fair value estimates, the cash flows from Croghan’s financial instruments are discounted to their approximated present values.
Hypothetical changes in interest rates are applied to those financial instruments, and the cash flows and fair value estimations are then simulated. When calculating the net interest income estimations, hypothetical rates are applied to the financial instruments based upon the assumed cash flows. Croghan has historically applied interest rate “shocks” to its financial instruments of 100 and 200 basis points (up and down) for its net interest income, and 200 basis points (up and down) for the value of its equity. In 2010, Croghan added 300 and 400 (up and down) shocks to its net interest income to further its monitoring process. Interest rates were still below 1.0% at June 30, 2013, resulting in the sensitivity analysis not being able to be performed with respect to a large negative change in market rates.
The following presents the potential sensitivity in Croghan’s net interest income for a 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis-point (i.e., 1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%, and 4.0%) change in market interest rates and the potential sensitivity in the present value of Croghan’s equity for a sudden and sustained 200 basis-point (i.e., 2.0%) change in market interest rates (dollars in thousands):

The projected volatility of net interest income and the net present value of equity at June 30, 2013 were within Croghan’s established guidelines. The preceding analysis encompasses the use of a variety of assumptions, including the relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments, and the possible reaction of depositors to changes in interest rates. The analysis simulates possible outcomes and should not be relied upon as being indicative of actual results. Additionally, the analysis does not necessarily contemplate all of the actions that Croghan could undertake in response to changes in market interest rates.

The ratio of net income to daily average total assets and average stockholders’ equity, and certain other ratios, for the periods noted are as follows:

2012 vs. 2011. Net interest income for 2012 decreased $294,000, or 1.6%, to $17,973,000, compared to $18,267,000 in 2011. Average interest-earning assets in 2012 increased $106,818,000 (23.3%), which was a direct result of the December 2011 acquisition of four HSL branches which was completed in December of 2011. As a result of soft loan demand in its lending markets, Croghan invested most of the funds resulting from the HSL branches acquisition in securities and alsore-invested substantially all proceeds from securities maturities. As a result, the average balance of securities increased $86,190,000 in 2012 as compared to 2011. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $95,904,000 which was also largely attributable to interest-bearing liabilities obtained from the HSL branches acquisition.
The average rate earned on interest-earning assets decreased to 3.73% in 2012 from 4.73% in 2011, and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities also decreased to .66% in 2012 from .90% in 2011. The net effect of these changes was that Croghan’s net interest yield decreased to 3.18% in 2012 from 3.99% in 2011. Throughout 2012, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) continued to maintain low managed interest rates. The low rates caused the average rate earned on interest-earning assets and average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities to further decrease in 2012 even beyond the low rates experienced in 2011. In addition
- 98 -
to the overall low level of rates, the average balance of securities increased $86,190,000 (52.7%) while the average balance of loans increased only $19,767,000 (6.9%). As evidenced from the above table, the average rates earned on securities is considerably lower than the rates earned on loans.
2011 vs. 2010. Net interest income for 2011 increased $613,000, or 3.5%, to $18,267,000, compared to $17,654,000 in 2010. Average interest-earning assets in 2011 increased $16,968,000, which resulted from higher total assets primarily in the securities portfolio. Croghan continued to reinvest security maturities, and the loan portfoliorun-off into the securities portfolio, which helped maintain net interest income. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $2,000,000, which was a direct result of increases in savings, NOW, and Money Market deposits throughout 2011 due to the continued change in consumer deposit trends.
The average rate earned on interest-earning assets decreased to 4.73% in 2011 from 5.16% in 2010, and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities also decreased to .90% in 2011 from 1.37% in 2010. The net effect of these changes was that Croghan’s net interest yield decreased to 3.99% in 2011 from 4.01% in 2010. In 2011, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) continued to maintain low managed interest rates. The low rates caused the average rate earned on interest-earning assets and average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities to decrease in 2011 even more so than in 2010.
Provision For Loan Losses
Croghan’s loan policy provides guidelines for managing both credit risk and asset quality. The policy details acceptable lending practices, establishes loan-grading classifications, and prescribes the use of a loan review process. Croghan employs credit analysis staff to aid in facilitating the early identification of problem loans, to help ensure sound credit decisions, and to assist in the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Croghan also engages an outside credit review firm to supplement the credit analysis function and to provide an independent assessment of the loan review process. Croghan’s loan policy, loan review process, and credit analysis staff facilitate management’s evaluation of the credit risk inherent in the lending function.
Croghan performs ongoing reviews to identify potential problem and nonperforming loans and also completesin-depth analysis with respect to the quarterly allowance for loan losses calculation. Part of this analysis involves assessing the need for specific reserves relative to impaired loans. This evaluation typically includes a review of the loan’s past performance history, a comparison of the estimated collateral value in relation to the outstanding loan balance, the overall financial strength of the borrower, industry risks pertinent to the borrower, and competitive trends that may influence the borrower’s future financial performance. Loans are considered impaired when, based upon the most current information available, it appears probable that the borrower will not be able to make payments according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are recorded at the observable market price of the loan, the fair value of the underlying collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent), or the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Given that Croghan’s impaired loans are typically collateralized by real estate or other borrower assets, the fair value of impaired loans is most often based upon the underlying collateral value. Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.
To determine the allowance for loan losses, Croghan prepares a detailed quarterly analysis that focuses on delinquency trends, the status of nonperforming loans (i.e., impaired, nonaccrual, restructured, and past due 90 days or more), current and historical trends ofcharged-off loans within each loan category (i.e., commercial, real estate, and consumer), existing local and national economic conditions, and changes within the volume and mix in each loan category. Higher loss rates are applied in calculating the allowance for loan losses relating to potential problem loans. The loss rates are periodically evaluated considering historic loss rates in the respective potential problem loan categories (i.e., special mention, substandard, doubtful) and current trends.
Real estate loans that are deemed impaired are considered collateral dependent and have specific reserves allocated based upon appraisals. New appraisals are obtained with respect to impaired loans when the current appraisal is greater than 12 months old, and the appraisals for impaired loans are discounted 20-25% to account for expected discounts to liquidate the collateral. Non real estate loans that are impaired are considered collateral
- 99 -
dependent and have specific reserves allocated based upon the most current net book value discounted 65% for account receivables collateral and 25% for equipment collateral to account for any discounts to liquidate the collateral. As collateral dependent loans approach foreclosure or liquidation, additional costs to sell are identified which often result in a minimum of $2,500 additional loan loss requirement for these loans.
Regular provisions are made in amounts sufficient to maintain the balance in the allowance for loan losses at a level considered by management to be adequate for losses within the portfolio. Even though management uses all available information to assess possible loan losses, future additions or reductions to the allowance may be required as changes occur in economic conditions, appraisal values and specific borrower circumstances. The regulatory agencies that periodically review Croghan’s allowance for loan losses may also require additions to the allowance or thecharge-off of specific loans based upon the information available to them at the time of their examinations.

2012 vs. 2011.
Provision for loan losses and net loan charge-offs
The 2012 provision for loan losses totaled $525,000, which was $250,000 less than the 2011 provision of $775,000. The decrease in the 2012 provision was attributable to overall reduced levels of potential problem and nonperforming loans. During 2012, Croghan recognized $978,000 of net charge-offs, which was up $26,000 from the $952,000 of net charge-offs in 2011. The trends in the historical loss rates, which are used to calculate losses onnon-impaired credits, stayed consistent throughout 2012.
Nonaccruals and net loan charge-offs
The $1,918,000 decrease in nonaccrual loans in 2012 compared to 2011 was due to several commercial and commercial real estate loans being paid off. In addition to the loans being paid off, there was one commercial real estate loan totaling $275,000 which was moved to OREO, after realizing a $92,000 charge-off.
Restructured loans
Restructured loans at December 31, 2012 totaled $5,258,000, an increase of $431,000 (8.2%) over the $4,827,000 balance at December 31, 2011. These loans were restructured from their original loan agreements by
- 100 -
modifying their principal and interest payment terms, or have interest only payments. These restructured terms allow the client to remain current during a period in which they expect or are experiencing a reduction in their anticipated or actual cash flow. After the period of interest only payments, the loans are anticipated to start paying principal and interest payments similar to the original loan agreements. If a restructured loan is placed on nonaccrual, it is still classified as restructured going forward. Croghan Colonial Bank had 29 restructured loans at December 31, 2012, compared to 18 at December 31, 2011. Most of the increase in restructured loans was in theopen-end home equity and1-4 family real estate loan categories representing credits with smaller balances. Croghan Colonial Bank had 14 restructured loans occurring in 2012 with a recorded investment of $1,648,000.
Potential problem and nonperforming loans
Croghan typically classifies a loan as a potential problem loan, regardless of its collateralization or any contractually obligated guarantors, when a review of the borrower’s financial statements indicates that the borrower does not generate sufficient operating cash flow to adequately service its debts.
Total potential problem and nonperforming loans decreased $12,432,000, or 46.0%, to $14,604,000 at December 31, 2012, compared to $27,036,000 at December 31, 2011. Components of this increase included a decrease of $11,619,000 in potential problem loans, other than those past due 90 days or more, nonaccrual, or restructured. The decrease was the result of several large commercial and commercial real estate loans being paid off as well as one large impaired non-farm/non-residential real estate loan totaling $7,455,000 being upgraded to a pass credit.

2011 vs. 2010.
Provision for loan losses and net loan charge-offs
The 2011 provision for loan losses totaled $775,000, which was $900,000 less than the 2010 provision of $1,675,000. The decrease in the 2011 provision was attributable to Croghan recognizing a $754,000 recovery to the allowance for loan losses on a loan previously charged off in the fourth quarter of 2009. As a result of this recovery, Croghan recognized a negative $100,000 provision for loan losses during the third quarter of 2011.
- 101 -
During 2011, Croghan recognized $952,000 of net charge-offs, which was down $201,000 from the $1,153,000 of net charge-offs in 2010. The trends in the historical loss rates, which are used to calculate losses onnon-impaired credits, stayed consistent throughout 2011.
Nonaccruals and net loan charge-offs
The $751,000 decrease in nonaccrual loans in 2011 compared to 2010 was due to reclassifying nonaccrual loans that were restructured into the new TDRnon-accruing category. The total amount of nonaccrual loans, includingnon-accruing TDRs, increased $544,000. During 2011, a large commercial real estate loan totaling $692,000 went from TDR status to TDRnon-accruing; this loan also had charge off amounts of $308,000 during 2011. Also during 2011, Croghan Colonial Bank had one other large commercial real estate loan increasing nonaccrual loans $208,000, after realizing acharge-off of $335,000, and moving $810,000 to OREO.
Restructured loans
Restructured loans at December 31, 2011 totaled $4,827,000 compared to $4,665,000 at December 31, 2010, an increase of $162,000 (3.5%). Croghan Colonial Bank had eight restructured loans occurring during 2011 with a recorded investment of $845,000.
Potential problem and nonperforming loans
Total potential problem and nonperforming loans increased $1,785,000, or 7.1%, to $27,036,000 at December 31, 2011, compared to $25,251,000 at December 31, 2010. Components of this increase included a $544,000 increase in nonaccrual loans, a $2,288,000 increase in potential problem loans, and a $1,133,000 decrease in accruing TDR loans.

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
2012 vs. 2011. Totalnon-interest income in 2012 increased $1,085,000, or 31.3%, to $4,553,000, compared to $3,468,000 in 2011. Service charges on deposit accounts, which include deposit service charges, debit card interchange and service charges and overdraft fees increased $336,000 or 23.3% in 2012. Each of these categories increased as a result of an increase in the number of deposit accounts primarily from the December 2011 HSL branches acquisition. Debit card interchange income accounted for $227,000 of the increase in service charges and increased due to both the increase in numbers of accounts, as well as general increased activity among account holders. During 2011, Croghan Colonial Bank recognized a $394,000 impairment loss on a municipal security and recognized a $204,000 gain from the settlement of a life insurance policy on a deceased former director. Neither of these items reoccurred in 2012. Croghan Colonial Bank continues to monitor the security for possible additional impairment loss.
Croghan recognized gains of $246,000 in 2012 from selling fixed-rate residential mortgage loans compared to $115,000 in 2011, including capitalized mortgage servicing rights of $65,000 and $39,000 respectively during 2012 and 2011. The increase in gains in 2012, was a direct result of increased1-4 family mortgage loan origination and resulting sales volume with Croghan Colonial Bank selling $8,052,000 of loans in 2012 compared to $4,521,000 in 2011. At December 31, 2012, the unpaid balance of mortgage loans serviced for others amounted to $26,496,000 compared to $24,001,000 at December 31, 2011.
Trust income in 2012 increased $91,000, or 8.5%, from 2011. The Trust Department held total assets of $157,604,000 for 537 clients at December 31, 2012, compared to $151,230,000 for 536 clients at December 31, 2011. Services offered by the Trust Department include qualified retirement plans (e.g., 401k and simple plans), personal trusts, investment management accounts, cash management accounts, individual retirement accounts, custody accounts, charitable trusts, and charitable gift annuities.
During 2012, Croghan Colonial Bank realized gains on sales of securities of $311,000 compared to $149,000 in 2011 as Croghan Colonial Bank sold securities in an effort to manage interest rate risk.
Croghan has purchased split-dollar life insurance policies on behalf of certain current and former employees and officers. The increase in the cash value of these policies accumulates on atax-exempt basis, as long as the policies are not cashed, and the tax savings is used to fund supplemental retirement benefits for the named individuals. The total cash value of these life insurance policies aggregated $11,087,000 at December 31, 2012 and $10,766,000 at December 31, 2011. The increase in cash value of the policies amounted to $321,000 in 2012 compared to $301,000 in 2011.
Other operating income increased $155,000, or 27.1%, to $728,000 in 2012, from $573,000 in 2011. Other operating income includes fees generated by the Investment Department of Croghan’s Trust and Investment
- 103 -
Services Division. The Investment Department marketsnon-FDIC insured investment products, such as mutual funds and annuities. Fees generated by the Investment Department totaled $193,000 in 2012, compared to $91,000 in 2011. The increase was due to commissions received under the Croghan insurance shell. Other items comprising other operating income include gains on sale of other real estate owned, rental income, ATM surcharge fees, MasterCard merchant referral commissions, safe deposit box fees, credit life insurance sales commissions, and fees from the sale of official checks and money orders.
2011 vs. 2010. Totalnon-interest income in 2011 decreased $312,000, or 8.3%, to $3,468,000, compared to $3,780,000 in 2010. Trust income in 2011 increased $50,000, or 4.9%, from 2010. The Trust Department held total assets of $151,230,000 for 556 clients at December 31, 2011, compared to $146,100,000 for 546 clients at December 31, 2010.
The increase in cash value of life insurance amounted to $301,000 in 2011, which was down $110,000 (26.8%) compared to $411,000 in 2010 as these investments tend to follow bond market rates which continue to be at historically low levels.
During 2011, Croghan Colonial Bank realized gains on sales of securities of $149,000 as Croghan Colonial Bank sold bonds in an effort to manage interest rate risk. Croghan Colonial Bank also recognized a $394,000 impairment loss on a municipal security determined to be other than temporarily impaired. The impairment was determined as a result of the issuer of the security having insufficient cash flow to support its contractual obligations to Croghan Colonial Bank.
Croghan recognized gains of $115,000 from selling fixed-rate residential mortgage loans in 2011, including capitalized mortgage servicing rights of $39,000. At December 31, 2011, the unpaid balance of mortgage loans serviced for others amounted to $24,001,000.
Other operating income decreased $17,000, or 2.9%, to $573,000 in 2011, from $590,000 in 2010. This decrease was primarily attributable to fees generated by the Investment Department, which totaled $91,000 in 2011, compared to $112,000 in 2010.

Totalnon-interest expenses | | $ | 16,417 | | | $ | 15,008 | | | $ | 14,732 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
2012 vs. 2011.Totalnon-interest expenses in 2012 increased to $16,417,000, from $15,008,000 in 2011, an increase of $1,409,000, or 9.4%.
Non-interest expenses generally tended to increase in 2012, as compared to 2011, as a result of the December HSL branches acquisition. This was especially true for certainnon-interest expense categories, including personnel expense ($538,000 or 6.4%), occupancy of premises (110,000 or 12.9%), equipment and vehicle ($147,000 or 13.4%), state franchise and other tax ($131,000 or 25.6%), and postage ($35,000 or 13.9%). Personnel costs in particular increased as a result of 16 additional full-time and two additional part-time employees related to the branches acquisition.
Professional and consulting fees in 2012 as compared to 2011 decreased $78,000 (11.8%) due to certain costs incurred in 2011, relating to the branches acquisition, which did not recur in 2012. Certainnon-interest expenses increased more dramatically including advertising and marketing ($75,000 or 34.6%) as Croghan Colonial Bank introduced its brand in new markets resulting from the branches acquisition. ATM network and processing fees increased $206,000 (136.4%) due to the increased fees of our service contract. The $342,000 increase in amortization of intangible assets was all attributable to the HSL branches acquisition core deposit intangible asset, which is being amortized under an accelerated method as described in Note 1 to the 2012 consolidated financial statements.
2011 vs. 2010.Totalnon-interest expenses in 2011 increased to $15,008,000, from $14,732,000 in 2010, an increase of $276,000, or 1.9%. Total personnel expense increased $113,000, or 1.4%, to $8,384,000 in 2011, from $8,271,000 in 2010. Full-time equivalent employees totaled 171 at December 31, 2011 (including 16 full-time and two part-time employees from the branch acquisition), compared to 150 at December 31, 2010.
- 105 -
FDIC premium assessments decreased $156,000 (29.5%) to $372,000 in 2011, compared to $528,000 in 2010. The decrease resulted from a change in the method the FDIC calculates the expense which started during the second quarter 2011. The new calculation is based on average asset size rather than domestic deposits and will continue to be calculated this way going forward.
In 2011, Croghan Colonial Bank hadone-time expenses related to the branch acquisition approximating $428,000 in the categories of professional and consulting, equipment, postage, public relations, and installations. Also in 2011, loan collection and repossession fees increased $68,000, despite a recovery of $38,000 from one commercial client, due to continued costs associated with resolving troubled assets.
Income Taxes
Federal income tax expense totaled $741,000 in 2012, compared to $1,198,000 in 2011, and $1,003,000 in 2010. The effective tax rate in 2012 was 13.3%, compared to 20.1% in 2011 and 20.0% in 2010. The decrease in the effective tax rate in 2012, as compared to 2011, was attributable to interest income ontax-exempt securities increasing $752,000. As a result,tax-exempt securities income in 2012 comprised 53.8% of income before tax compared to 37.9% in 2011.
Financial Condition
Securities
Croghan’s securities portfolio is used to enhance net interest income, provide liquidity in the event of unforeseen cash flow needs, and diversify financial risk. At December 31, 2012, Croghan classified all securities other than restricted stock asavailable-for-sale.Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with the net unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, reported as a component of stockholders’ equity known as “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” All securities are periodically reviewed for impairment.
Croghan’savailable-for-sale investment portfolio is primarily comprised of U.S. Government agency and political subdivision obligations. The fair value ofavailable-for-sale securities totaled $238,221,000 at December 31, 2012, compared to $225,282,000 at December 31, 2011. As previously mentioned in the “Net Interest Income” section, Croghan generally invested the funds available from the December 2011 HSL branches acquisition into the securities portfolio.
Croghan’s restricted stock includes shares issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati, and Bankers Bancshares, Inc. of Gahanna, Ohio. Croghan maintains investments in these entities to facilitate borrowing capacity (FHLB), as a member (Federal Reserve), and for loan participation opportunities (Bankers Bancshares). The carrying value of restricted stock totaled $4,174,000 at December 31, 2012 and $3,844,000 at December 31, 2011.
The aggregate carrying value of all securities at December 31, 2012, totaled $242,395,000, an increase of $13,269,000 (5.8%). The increase was primarily attributable to continued soft loan demand in Croghan Colonial Bank’s primary lending markets.

Loans
The following summarizes total loans and the percent change by major category as of December 31(dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2012 | | | 2011 | | | Percent Change | |
Commercial, financial, and agricultural | | $ | 35,303 | | | $ | 28,963 | | | | 21.9 | |
Real estate – residential mortgage | | | 128,252 | | | | 127,450 | | | | .6 | |
Real estate –non-residential mortgage | | | 135,937 | | | | 126,415 | | | | 7.5 | |
Real estate – construction | | | 3,635 | | | | 5,237 | | | | (30.64 | ) |
Consumer | | | 15,234 | | | | 11,203 | | | | 36.0 | |
Credit card | | | 2,916 | | | | 2,697 | | | | 8.1 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total loans | | $ | 321,277 | | | $ | 301,965 | | | | 6.4 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
During 2012, Croghan grew its loan portfolio $19,312,000 (6.4%). As demonstrated in the preceding table, increases occurred in all loan categories except for real estate – construction. During 2012 loans in the Real estate – construction moved from this category into the Realestate-non-residential mortgage category as construction phase projects went to completion and permanent financing. Loans in the commercial, financial, and agricultural loan category increased $6,340,000 or 21.9%, as a result of increased lines of credit in the commercial and agricultural categories, and an increase in floor plan activity. During 2012, Croghan Colonial Bank continued to actively sell new fixed rate mortgage loans in the secondary market with minimal changes to balances from the beginning to the end of the year. Residential mortgage loans are being sold primarily to help manage interest rate risk, as newly-originated15-30 year fixed rate mortgages are being sold at historically low interest rates.
Loans in the real estate–non-residential mortgage category increased $9,522,000 or 7.5% as both new and existing clients took advantage of the extremely low interest rate environment and borrowed money rather than using existing liquidity to fund their current business or expansion projects. The consumer loan category increased $4,031,000, or 36.0%, which came mainly from Croghan Colonial Bank’s concerted efforts at increasing consumer lending in both the branches and local dealerships. Additional staffing in indirect lending along with increased training and sales goals at the branches were used to identify and close more consumer loans. Primarily, new consumer loans for automotive, recreation vehicles and watercraft were made during 2012. Indirect lending relationships with dealerships in our existing markets contributed to Croghan Colonial Bank increasing loans both to our existing clients using local dealerships, as well as obtaining new clients doing business in Croghan Colonial Bank’s existing markets. Credit card loans increased $219,000 or 8.1% primarily due to one new commercial client doing business with Croghan Colonial Bank during 2012.
OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED (OREO)
During 2012, OREO, net of related valuation allowance, decreased $582,000 to $1,295,000 at December 31, 2012, compared to $1,877,000 at December 31, 2011. The net effect of OREO sales and write-downs of properties held in OREO, resulted in an overall loss on sale or write-down of OREO of $20,000 during 2012.

Deposits
Deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities at December 31, 2012 decreased $1,715,000, or .3%, compared to December 31, 2011. Deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities serve as a primary source of cash flows to fund loan demand and are summarized in the following table as of December 31 (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2012 | | | 2011 | | | Percent Change | |
Demandnon-interest bearing | | $ | 89,530 | | | $ | 77,056 | | | | 16.2 | |
Savings, NOW, and money market deposits | | | 261,860 | | | | 231,182 | | | | 13.3 | |
Time deposits | | | 160,550 | | | | 193,599 | | | | (17.1 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total deposits | | | 511,940 | | | | 501,837 | | | | 2.0 | |
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements | | | 32,344 | | | | 40,861 | | | | (20.8 | ) |
Borrowed funds | | | 15,199 | | | | 18,500 | | | | (17.8 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities | | $ | 559,483 | | | $ | 561,198 | | | | (.3 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
The increases in demandnon-interest bearing and savings, NOW, and money market deposits, as well as the decrease in time deposits is due to the extremely low rate environment as depositors throughout the industry are moving deposits from longer-term time deposits tonon-maturity deposits. The decrease in Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements was due to commercial clients using different deposit products with Croghan Colonial Bank. The decrease in borrowed funds was attributable to scheduled principal payments on the term loan issued in connection with the December 2011 HSL branches acquisition.
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Croghan’s stockholders’ equity is summarized in the following table at December 31 (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2012 | | | 2011 | |
Common stock | | $ | 23,926 | | | $ | 23,926 | |
Surplus | | | 118 | | | | 179 | |
Retained earnings | | | 45,361 | | | | 42,662 | |
Accumulated other comprehensive income | | | 5,843 | | | | 4,341 | |
Treasury stock | | | (8,084 | ) | | | (8,225 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
Total stockholders’ equity | | $ | 67,164 | | | $ | 62,883 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Accumulated other comprehensive income consists of the net unrealized gain on securities classified asavailable-for-sale, net of related income taxes. At December 31, 2012, Croghan Colonial Bank held $238,221,000 ofavailable-for-sale securities with a net unrealized gain of $5,843,000, net of income taxes compared toavailable-for-sale securities of $225,282,000 at December 31, 2011, with a net unrealized gain of $4,341,000, net of income taxes. The $1,502,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive income was the result of customary and expected fluctuations in the bond market related to changes in interest rates during 2012. Management does not believe that any of Croghan Colonial Bank’s investment securities holdings are in a permanent unrealized loss position at December 31, 2012 or 2011.
Treasury stock at December 31, 2012 decreased $141,000, or 1.7%, as compared to December 31, 2011 due to the issuance of 5,250 restricted shares as part of Croghan’s 2012 equity incentive plan. The restricted shares were issued to eight employees and vest equally every year for five years starting April 30, 2013, through April 30, 2017.
Bank holding companies, including Croghan, are subject to minimum capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve Board. Additionally, all insured depository institutions, including Croghan Colonial Bank,
- 108 -
are subject to the Federal Reserve Board’s capital classification system that assigns institutions into one of the following categories: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, or undercapitalized. Failure of a bank or bank holding company to meet the adequately capitalized or minimum capital standards may result in the initiation of certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on an institution’s financial statements.
The Federal Reserve Board’s minimum Tier I risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios established for bank holding companies are 4% and 8%, respectively. At December 31, 2012, Croghan had a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 13.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.2%, and Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of 7.6%. To be considered “well capitalized” under prompt corrective action provisions, a bank must have a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 6%, a total capital ratio of at least 10%, and Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of 5%. At December 31, 2012, Croghan Colonial Bank was deemed “well capitalized” with a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 14.3%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.5%, and a Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio of 8.3%. A detailed analysis of the capital amounts and related capital ratios for Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank are included in Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes that, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, Croghan and Croghan Colonial Bank met all applicable capital adequacy requirements.
Liquidity
Croghan Colonial Bank’s primary sources of liquidity are derived from its core deposit base and stable stockholders’ equity position. Secondary liquidity is provided by adjusting the daily federal funds sold position (when available), by actively managing the investment portfolio, and by adjusting federal funds purchased (borrowed) under established lines of credit from correspondent banks. At December 31, 2012, Croghan Colonial Bank had established lines of credit with two correspondent banks to purchase federal funds, which are readily available on an unsecured short-term basis to meet daily liquidity needs as they arise. The average balance borrowed under these lines during 2012 totaled $202,000. Croghan Colonial Bank had no federal funds purchased at December 31, 2012 and 2011. Croghan Colonial Bank had additional borrowing capacity of $70,417,000 available from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. These funds can be drawn upon subject to adequate pledging of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and eligible residential mortgage loans.
Additionally, Croghan Colonial Bank maintains a portion of its assets in liquid form to meet anticipated client loan demands and to fund possible deposit account outflows. At December 31, 2012, liquid assets in the form of cash and cash equivalents totaled $31,216,000, or 4.9%, of total assets.Croghan Colonial Bank also had $238,221,000 ofavailable-for-sale securities which management has no current plans of selling, but could provide liquidity should the need arise. Management believes these liquid assets, as well as a staggered maturity schedule for other borrowings, principal pay downs within the investment portfolio, and cash flow from loan repayments provide adequate liquidity forday-to-day operations.
The liquidity needs of Croghan, primarily the need to pay quarterly cash dividends to stockholders, are funded by upstream-dividends from Croghan Colonial Bank. Dividends to the holding company from Croghan Colonial Bank totaled $3,252,000 in 2012, $2,317,000 in 2011, and $3,101,000 in 2010. The ability of Croghan Colonial Bank to pay dividends is subject to limitations under various laws and regulations and to prudent and sound banking practices. In general, subject to certain minimum capital requirements, Croghan Colonial Bank may declare a dividend at any time without the approval from the State of Ohio Division of Financial Institutions, provided its dividends in a calendar year do not exceed the total of its net profits for that year combined with its retained profits for the two preceding years. Under these provisions, Croghan Colonial Bank had $4,392,000 available for dividends on January 1, 2013 and projects adequate income throughout 2013 to support Croghan’s cash dividends to stockholders.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest rate risk is one of Croghan’s most significant financial exposures. This risk, which is common to the financial institution sector, is an integral part of Croghan’s operations and impacts the rate-pricing strategy for essentially all loan and deposit products. The management and oversight of interest rate risk, including the establishment of acceptable guidelines, is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO). ALCO, and the associated Asset/Liability Management Policy, seeks to quantify and monitor the risk, to adequately provide for liquidity needs, and to maximize net interest income by managing net interest yield.
Croghan monitors its interest rate risk through a sensitivity analysis, which strives to measure potential changes in future earnings and the fair values of its financial instruments that could result from hypothetical changes in interest rates. The first step in this analysis is to estimate the expected cash flows from Croghan’s financial instruments using the interest rates in effect at December 31, 2012. To arrive at fair value estimates, the cash flows from Croghan’s financial instruments are discounted to their approximated present values.
Hypothetical changes in interest rates are applied to those financial instruments, and the cash flows and fair value estimations are then simulated. When calculating the net interest income estimations, hypothetical rates are applied to the financial instruments based upon the assumed cash flows. Croghan Colonial Bank has historically applied interest rate “shocks” to its financial instruments of 100 and 200 basis points (up and down) for its net interest income, and 200 basis points (up and down) for the value of its equity. In 2010, Croghan Colonial Bank added 300 and 400 (up and down) shocks to its net interest income to further its monitoring process. Interest rates were still below 1.0% at December 31, 2012, resulting in the sensitivity analysis not being able to be performed with respect to a large negative change in market rates.
The following presents the potential sensitivity in Croghan Colonial Bank’s net interest income for a 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis-point (i.e., 1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%, and 4.0%) change in market interest rates and the potential sensitivity in the present value of Croghan Colonial Bank’s equity for a sudden and sustained 200 basis-point (i.e., 2.0%) change in market interest rates (dollars in thousands):

The projected volatility of net interest income and the net present value of equity at December 31, 2012 were within Croghan’s established guidelines. The preceding analysis encompasses the use of a variety of assumptions, including the relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments, and the possible reaction of depositors to changes in interest rates. The analysis simulates possible outcomes and should not be relied upon as being indicative of actual results. Additionally, the analysis does not necessarily contemplate all of the actions that Croghan could undertake in response to changes in market interest rates.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Croghan had $94,111,000 in total loan commitments at December 31, 2012, including $66,129,000 expiring within one year. All lines of credit represent eitherfee-paid or legally binding loan commitments for the loan categories noted. Letters of credit are also included in the above amounts, since Croghan requires each letter of credit be supported by a loan agreement. Commercial and consumer lines represent both unsecured and secured obligations. Real estate lines are secured by mortgages on residential andnon-residential property. Credit card lines are made on an unsecured basis. It is anticipated that a significant portion of these lines will expire without being drawn upon, particularly credit card lines, which represent the maximum amount available to all cardholders. Additionally, $35,999,000 of the commercial lines are due on demand, with many of those lines established for seasonal operating purposes.

Long-term debt represents borrowings from the FHLB which requires payment of interest on a monthly basis with principal due at maturity and a term loan from GLBB which requires quarterly principal and interest payments. The obligations at the FHLB are at fixed interest rates and stipulate a prepayment penalty if the interest rate of the respective note exceeds the current market rate for similar borrowings at the time of prepayment. As notes mature, Croghan evaluates the liquidity and interest-rate circumstances to determine whether to pay off or renew the notes. The evaluation process typically considers: the strength of current and projected client loan demand, Croghan’s federal funds sold or purchased position, projected cash flows from maturing investment securities, the current and projected interest rate environment, local and national economic conditions, and customer demand for Croghan’s deposit product offerings.
Croghan had no capital leases or unconditional purchase obligations as of December 31, 2012. Additionally, obligations pertaining to deposits and securities sold under repurchase agreements are not included. Croghan’s operating lease obligations include the Port Clinton banking center, located in a retail supermarket in the
- 111 -
Knollcrest Shopping Center, and an ATM site north of Fremont. Croghan also has various future operating lease obligations for photocopying and mail processing equipment which are not included in the table.
The “Other” contractual obligation of $748,000 represents projected payments for various participants and their designated beneficiaries in Croghan Colonial Bank’s various supplemental retirement benefit plans. Of this amount, $210,000 was accrued as a liability as of December 31, 2012.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
A summary of new accounting standards adopted in or subject to adoption in 2012, as well as newly-issued but not effective accounting standards, is presented in Note 2 to the December 31, 2012, consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Croghan’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practices for the commercial banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based upon the information available as of the date of the financial statements.
The most significant accounting policies followed by Croghan are presented in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. These policies, along with the other disclosures presented in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis, provide information about how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially could result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.
Management has identified the determination of the allowance for loan losses as the accounting area that requires the most subjective and complex estimates, assumptions, and judgments and, as such, could be the most subject to revision in the near term as new information becomes available. Additionally, management has identified the determination of the value of goodwill, fair value of securities, and other financial instruments as accounting areas that require complex estimates, assumptions, and judgments.
As noted in the section entitled “Provision for Loan Losses and the Allowance for Loan Losses”, Croghan performs a detailed quarterly analysis to assess the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses. This analysis encompasses a variety of factors including the potential loss exposure for individually reviewed loans, the historical loss experience for each loan category (i.e., commercial, real estate, and consumer), the volume of nonperforming loans (i.e., loans in nonaccrual status or past due 90 days or more), the volume of loans past due 30 to 89 days, a segmentation of each loan category by internally-assigned risk grades, any significant changes in lending or loan review staff, an evaluation of current and future local and national economic conditions, any significant changes in the volume or mix of loans within each category, a review of the significant concentrations of credit, and any legal, competitive, or regulatory concerns.
A goodwill evaluation is performed as of July 1 of each year. The evaluation process provides data to substantiate the balance in goodwill by estimating Croghan’s implied market value based upon recent bank merger and acquisition transactions. If the results indicate that Croghan’s estimated implied value is greater than its total stockholder’s equity plus goodwill as of the evaluation date, then no impairment exists. To date, none of Croghan’s goodwill evaluations have revealed the need for an impairment charge. On July 1, 2012, Croghan had an independent valuation specialist assess its goodwill. The assessment supported management’s internal assessments that no impairment adjustments to goodwill were warranted. Management performed an internal goodwill assessment during 2010 and 2011 and does not believe that any significant conditions have changed relating to the goodwill impairment through December 31, 2012.
Croghan reviews securities prices and fair value estimates of other financial instruments supplied by an independent pricing service, as well as their underlying pricing methodologies, for reasonableness and to ensure
- 112 -
such prices are aligned with traditional pricing matrices. Croghan’s securities portfolio primarily consists of U.S. Government agencies and political subdivision obligations. Pricing for such instruments is typically based on models with observable inputs. From time to time, Croghan will validate, on a sample basis, prices supplied by the independent pricing service by comparison to prices obtained from other third-party sources or derived using internal models. Croghan also considers the reasonableness of inputs for financial instruments that are priced using unobservable inputs.

Indebancorp management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations as of June 30, 2013
Critical Accounting Policies
Indebancorp has established various accounting policies which govern the application of U.S. GAAP in the preparation of its financial statements. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management which has a material impact on the reported amount of assets, liabilities, capital, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. A company’s critical accounting policies include those that are most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates on matters that are inherently uncertain. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from estimates and have a material impact on the carrying value of assets, liabilities, capital or the results of operations of Indebancorp.
Indebancorp believes the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is determined quarterly using a consistent, systematic methodology, which analyzes the risk inherent in the loan portfolio. In addition to evaluating the collectability of specific loans when determining the adequacy of the allowance, management also takes into consideration other qualitative factors such as changes in the mix and size of the loan portfolio, historical loss experience, the amount of delinquencies and loans adversely classified, industry trends, and the impact of the local and regional economy on the Company’s borrowers. Changes in these qualitative factors may cause management’s estimate of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to increase or decrease and result in adjustments to Indebancorp’s provision for loan losses in future periods.
Comparisons for and as of June 30, 2013
Overall, Indebancorp experienced increases in net income of $208,301 and $254,619 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods from 2012. Marginal improvement in the general economic conditions in the primary markets served by the National Bank of Ohio have both bolstered earnings and lead to improved credit quality in the Bank’s loan portfolio.
Historically low interest rates continue to erode the Bank’s interest income, which experienced slight period-to-period reductions for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013. However, the Bank’s reduction in interest expense for both periods exceeded the reductions in interest income, which actually resulted in slight increases in net interest income for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013. The respective period-to-period reductions in interest expense is partially attributable to the Bank paying down approximately $2.2 million in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings since year end, which source of funding generally comes at a higher cost than core deposits. In addition, improvements in the overall credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio resulted in significant reductions to provision expense for both periods ended June 30, 2013 when compared to the respective prior year periods. As a result of the foregoing, net interest income after provision expense increased $198,302 when compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2012 and $234,793 when compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2012.
In addition, Indebancorp’s noninterest income increased marginally for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 when compared to the prior year periods, while noninterest expense decreased for each of those periods. A significant factor in the decrease in noninterest expense for each period was the reduction in losses experienced on the sale of foreclosed assets, which demonstrates a slight stabilization in real estate prices in the Bank’s primary markets as well as an improvement in the overall quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio.

The following discussion focuses on the consolidated financial condition of Indebancorp and its subsidiaries at June 30, 2013, as compared to December 31, 2012, and the consolidated results of operations for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2013, compared to the same periods in 2012. The purpose of this discussion is to provide the reader with a more thorough understanding of the consolidated financial statements.
Financial Condition
Total assets were $232 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $224 million at December 31, 2012, representing an increase of $8 million or 3.6%. Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $5.7 million, or 63.5%, since year end. Securities decreased $3.7 million or 12.8% since year end primarily due to calls of portfolio securities. Deposits increased $10.2 million, or 5.4%, during the six-month period. Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings decreased $2.2 million from December 31, 2012.
Net loans increased approximately $6.2 million, or 3.6%, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. The allowance for loan losses was $2.2 million, or 1.2% of total loans at June 30, 2013, representing a modest increase of $250,000 from $1.95 million at December 31, 2012.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2013 | | | December 31, 2012 | | | December 31, 2011 | |
Non-performing loans | | | 2,239 | | | | 2,612 | | | | 2,029 | |
Other real estate Owned | | | 300 | | | | 153 | | | | 282 | |
Allowance for loan losses | | | 2,181 | | | | 1,949 | | | | 1,860 | |
Total loans | | | 181,073 | | | | 174,693 | | | | 159,517 | |
Allowance: loans | | | 1.20 | % | | | 1.12 | % | | | 1.17 | % |
Allowance:non-performing loans | | | 97.41 | % | | | 74.62 | % | | | 91.67 | % |
The ratio of gross loans to deposits was 91.94% at June 30, 2013, compared to 93.52% at December 31, 2012. The modest decrease in this ratio is primarily the result of an increase in total deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2013 in excess of the increase in loans. Deposits increased $10.2 million since December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013, while gross loans only increased by approximately $6.3 million.
Total shareholders’ equity amounted to $22.0 million, or 9.5%, of total assets, at June 30, 2013, compared to $21.7 million, or 9.7% of total assets, at December 31, 2012. The increase in shareholders’ equity during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to net earnings for the period. Indebancorp and its subsidiary bank met or exceeded all relevant regulatory capital requirements at June 30, 2013.
Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
For the three months ended June 30, 2013, Indebancorp recorded net income of $417,844, or $0.81 per share, as compared to net income of $209,543, or $0.38 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The $208,301 increase in net income for the period was principally due to an increase in net interest income of $58,302 and an increase in noninterest income of $15,586, a $118,587 decrease in noninterest expense and a reduction of $140,000 in provision for loan loss expense.
Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2013, was $2.519 million, representing an approximately $41,000 modest decrease, or 1.6%, compared to the same period in 2012. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $403,000, a decrease of $99,000, or 19.8%, from the same period in 2012. The decrease in interest expense was due to both rate and volume.
The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2013, was $200,000, compared to a $340,000 provision for the same period in 2012. The provision for loan losses is determined based on management’s calculation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which includes provisions for classified loans as well as for the remainder of the portfolio based on historical data including past charge-offs and current economic trends.
- 115 -
Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2013, was $492,113, an increase of $15,586, or 3.3%, compared to the same period in 2012.
Noninterest expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013, decreased $118,587, or 6.19%, compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease was primarily due to lower foreclosed asset losses.
Federal income tax expense increased $124,174, or 179.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, resulting from the increase in earnings.
Six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
For the six months ended June 30, 2013, Indebancorp recorded net income of $809,121, or $1.56 per share, as compared to net income of $554,502, or $1.01 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The $254,619 increase in net income for the period was principally due to an increase in net interest income of $129,793 and an increase in noninterest income of $45,956, a $108,053 decrease in noninterest expense and a reduction of $105,000 in provision for loan loss expense.
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2013, was $4.977 million, representing an approximately $120,000 modest decrease, of 2.4%, compared to the same period in 2012. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $806,000, a decrease of $250,000, or 23.7%, from the same period in 2012. The decrease in interest expense was due to both rate and volume.
The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2013, was $350,000, compared to a $455,000 provision for the same period in 2012. The provision for loan losses is determined based on management’s calculation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which includes provisions for classified loans as well as for the remainder of the portfolio based on historical data including past charge-offs and current economic trends.
Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2013, was $1,047,114, an increase of $45,956, or 4.6%, compared to the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily due to increases in gain on sale of loans and mortgage servicing fees.
Noninterest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013, decreased $108,053, or 2.8%, compared to the same period in 2012.
Federal income tax expense increased $134,183 or 60.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012, resulting from the increase in earnings.
Capital Resources
Banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certainoff-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If inadequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, National Bank of Ohio was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the institution’s category.
- 116 -
Banking regulations limit capital distributions by national banks. Generally, capital distributions are limited to undistributed net income for the current and prior two years.
Liquidity
Liquidity refers to Indebancorp’s ability to generate sufficient cash to fund current loan demand, meet deposit withdrawals, pay operating expenses and meet other obligations. Indebancorp’s primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $14.6 million at June 30, 2013, an increase of $5.7 million from December 31, 2012. Securitiesavailable-for-sale and loan repayments also serve as sources of liquidity. Other sources of liquidity include, but are not limited to, advances from the FHLB and adjustments of interest rates to attract deposits. Management believes that its sources of liquidity are adequate to meet cash flow obligations for the foreseeable future.
Comparisons for and as of December 31, 2012
General
The following is management’s analysis of Indebancorp’s consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. This discussion is designed to provide a more comprehensive review of the operating results and financial position than could be obtained from an examination of the consolidated financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes and the selected financial data included elsewhere in this prospectus/proxy statement.
Financial Condition
Total assets at December 31, 2012 were $224 million compared to $214 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $9.4 million, or 4.38%. The increase in total assets consisted principally of an increase in net loans of $15.1 million offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $5.8 million. The increase in assets was funded primarily through an increase in deposits of $9.6 million, comprised of a $4.2 million increase in noninterest bearing deposits and a $5.4 million increase in interest bearing deposits. The increase in loans consisted primarily of an increase in real estate loans of $17.9 million offset by decrease of $2.7 million in commercial and industrial and consumer loans.
The $17.9 million or 13.25% increase in the real estate loan portfolio between December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012 was comprised of a $12.0 million, or 13.38%, increase in commercial real estate loans and a $5.9 million, or 13% increase, in residential real estate loans. Agricultural, commercial and industrial, consumer and credit card loans decreased in the aggregate $2.7 million comprised predominately of a decrease of $1.3 million in commercial and industrial loans and a decrease of $1.4 million in consumer loans.
Total deposits were $186.8 million on December 31, 2012 compared to $177.2 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $9.6 million, or 5.42%.
As a secondary source of liquidity, Indebancorp obtains borrowings from the FHLB of Cincinnati, from which it held advances totaling $12.48 million at December 31, 2012 and $12.83 million at December 31, 2011. Additional advances may be obtained from the FHLB to fund future loan growth and liquidity.
Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2012 consisted of $2.8 million of nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned, or 1.25% of total assets, an increase of $454,000 from December 31, 2011. The nonaccrual loans consisted mainly of $1.7 million in commercial real-estate loans and $ 0.9 million in residential real-estate loans.

Results of Operations
The general economic conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of state and federal banking agencies and the regulatory policies of agencies that regulate financial institutions affect the operating results of Indebancorp. Interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest influence Indebancorp’s cost of funds. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for real estate loans and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such loans are made, general economic conditions and the availability of funds for lending activities.
Indebancorp’s net income primarily depends on its net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The level of net interest income is dependent on the interest rate environment and the volume and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Provisions for loan losses, service charges, gains on the sale of assets, other income, noninterest expense, and income taxes also affect net income.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2012 to the Year Ended December 31, 2011
Net Income.Net income was $1.560 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $1.515 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The modest increase in net income of $45,411 reflected the net effect of an increase of $417,799 in net interest income after provision expense and a $363,479 increase in noninterest income, which were predominately offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $772,942.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the year 2012 increased $772,799resulting primarily from an increase in interest income on loans of $488,343 and a reduction in interest paid on deposits of $296,118. Net interest income after provision for loan losses totaled $7.522 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $ 7.104 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, representing an increase of $418,000, or 5.9%. The provision for loan losses increased by $355,000 to $805,000 in 2012 from $450,000 in 2011.
Total interest on loans for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased $488,343, or 5.3% over the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase was due principally to an increase in average balance of loans of $17.1 million.
Interest earned on securities decreased by $173,478 during the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in 2012 was primarily a decrease in the yield earned.
Interest paid on deposits decreased $296,118 for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in 2012 over 2011 due to a decrease in rate paid on deposits.
Provision for Loan Losses. Indebancorp maintains an allowance for loan losses in an amount that, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance depends on a variety of factors, including past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. The provision for loan losses is determined by management as the amount to be added to the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to a level which is considered adequate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio.
The provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled $805,000 compared to $450,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The provision increased due principally to an increase in net charged off loans from approximately $267,000 for the year 2011 to $716,000 for the year 2012.
- 118 -

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
The most significant market risk to which Indebancorp is exposed is interest rate risk. The business of Indebancorp and the composition of its balance sheet consists of investments in interest-earning assets (primarily loans and securities), which are funded by interest-bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). These financial instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in the market rates of interest, resulting in market risk. None of Indebancorp’s financial instruments are held for trading purposes.
The Indebancorp Board of Directors establishes broad policies and operating limits with respect to interest rate risk. Indebancorp manages interest rate risk regularly through its ALCO Committee. The ALCO Committee meets on a monthly basis and reviews various asset and liability management information, including, but not limited to, National Bank of Ohio’s liquidity position, projected sources and uses of funds, interest rate risk position and economic conditions.
Indebancorp monitors its interest rate risk through modeling, whereby it measures potential changes in its future earnings and the fair values of its financial instruments that may result from one or more hypothetical changes in interest rates. This analysis is performed by estimating the expected cash flows of Indebancorp’s financial instruments using interest rates in effect at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Income simulation analysis is used to measure the sensitivity of forecasted net interest income to changes in market rates over aone-year time horizon. The economic value of equity (EVE) is calculated by subjecting theperiod-end balance sheet to changes in interest rates and measuring the impact of the changes on the values of the assets and liabilities. Hypothetical changes in interest rates are then applied to the financial instruments, and the cash flows and fair values are again estimated using these hypothetical rates. For the net interest income estimates, the hypothetical rates are applied to the financial instruments based on the assumed cash flows. Indebancorp applies these interest rate “shocks” to its financial instruments up and down 200 basis points in 100 basis point increments.
The following table presents an analysis of the estimated sensitivity of Indebancorp’s annual net interest income to sudden and sustained 100 basis point changes in market interest rates at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2013
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements of Croghan Bancshares, Inc. (“Croghan” or the “Corporation”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Croghan Colonial Bank (the “Bank”), have been prepared without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Corporation’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been omitted. The Corporation’s December 31, 2012 audited financial statements contained within this document contains consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year.
Management evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. Events or transactions occurring after June 30, 2013, but prior to when the financial statements were issued, that provided additional evidence about conditions that existed at June 30, 2013, have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2013. Events or transactions that provided evidence about conditions that did not exist at June 30, 2013, but arose before the consolidated financial statements were issued, have not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2013.
NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair values of recognized financial instruments were as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2013 | | | December 31, 2012 | |
| | Carrying amount | | | Fair value | | | Carrying amount | | | Fair value | |

Total | | $ | 575,022 | | | $ | 580,130 | | | $ | 590,563 | | | $ | 596,754 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Deposits | | $ | 518,977 | | | $ | 520,830 | | | $ | 511,940 | | | $ | 513,710 | |
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements | | | 15,099 | | | | 15,099 | | | | 32,344 | | | | 32,344 | |
Borrowed funds | | | 14,641 | | | | 14,916 | | | | 15,199 | | | | 16,642 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 548,717 | | | $ | 550,845 | | | $ | 559,483 | | | $ | 562,696 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The preceding summary does not include accrued interest receivable, cash surrender value of life insurance, dividends payable, and other liabilities which are also considered financial instruments. The estimated fair value of such items is considered to be their carrying amount.
The Bank also has unrecognized financial instruments which relate to commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The contract amount of such financial instruments totaled $100,294,000 at June 30, 2013 and $94,111,000 at December 31, 2012. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, these contract amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
F-8
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value of each class of financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Fair value is determined to be the carrying amount for these items because they represent cash or mature in 90 days or less and do not represent unanticipated credit concerns.
Securities
The fair value ofavailable-for-sale securities is determined based on quoted market prices of the individual securities or, if not available, estimated fair value is obtained by comparison to other known securities with similar risk and maturity characteristics. Such value does not consider possible tax ramifications or estimated transaction costs. The fair value of restricted stock is considered to be its carrying amount.
Loans
Fair value for loans is estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. For adjustable rate loans, whichre-price at least annually and generally possess low risk characteristics, the carrying amount is believed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. For fixed-rate loans, the fair value is estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, considering weighted average rates and terms of the portfolio, adjusted for credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loans. Fair value fornon-performing loans is based on recent appraisals or estimated discounted cash flows. The estimated value of credit card loans is based on existing loans and does not include the value that relates to estimated cash flows from new loans generated from existing cardholders over the remaining life of the portfolio.
Deposit Liabilities
The fair value of core deposits, including demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits, is the amount payable on demand. The fair value of fixed-rate certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates offered at period end for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The estimated fair value does not include the benefit that results from thelow-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the marketplace.
Other Financial Instruments
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements are considered to be short-term borrowings and are valued at carrying value. Borrowed funds are typically long-term in nature with fair value determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using current interest rates.
The fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.
NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are required to be classified and disclosed according to this process for determining fair value. There are three levels of determining fair value:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
F-9
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability for which there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs reflect the Corporation’s own assumptions about what market participants would use to price the asset or liability. The inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include the Corporation’s own financial data such as internally developed pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the fair value determination requires significant management judgment.
There were no financial instruments measured at fair value that moved to a lower level in the fair value hierarchy due to the lack of observable quotes in inactive markets for those instruments at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
The following summarizes financial assets (there were no financial liabilities) measured at fair value as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (dollars in thousands):

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The fair value of impaired loans is reported net of a valuation allowance of $561,000 as of June 30, 2013 and $536,000 as of December 31, 2012.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, follows.
F-10
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the corporation’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Corporation’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Corporation’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
SecuritiesAvailable-for-Sale
Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would typically include certain government bonds and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include corporate and municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The Corporation did not have any securities classified as Level 1 or Level 3 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Impaired Loans
The Corporation does not record impaired loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, periodically, a loan is considered impaired and is reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs, including recent appraisals and Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria. Due to the significance of the Level 3 inputs, impaired loans have been classified as Level 3.
Other Real Estate Owned
The Corporation values other real estate owned at the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less expected selling costs. Such values are estimated primarily using appraisals and reflect a market value approach. Due to the significance of the Level 3 inputs, other real estate owned has been classified as Level 3.

The Bank categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Bank uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
| • | | Special Mention – Loans classified as “special mention” possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness that deserves close attention, but do not yet warrant substandard classification. Such loans pose unwarranted financial risk that, if not corrected, could weaken the loan and increase risk of losses in the future. |
| • | | Substandard –Loans classified as “substandard” are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard have well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are categorized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. |
F-14
| • | | Doubtful – Loans classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses of those classified as substandard. Additionally, however, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full based on existing conditions improbable. |
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. The following presents loans as of June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, that are collectively evaluated for impairment and are considered not impaired. Investments in each category found below do not include loans that are deemed impaired and analyzed individually for impairment which were presented previously (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 6 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Corporation established in 2002 a Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”) which permitted the awarding of stock options and/or stock appreciation rights to directors, managerial, and other key employees of the Corporation. The 2002 Plan, which provided for the issuance of up to 190,951 shares, expired in March 2012.
At the 2012 Annual Stockholders Meeting, the stockholders of the Corporation adopted the Croghan Bancshares, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which permits the Corporation to award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and other stock-based and performance-based awards to directors, employees, and other eligible participants. A total of 162,082 shares are available for issuance pursuant to the 2012 Plan.
The Corporation issued 28,869 options during 2011 at an exercise price of $24.99 under the 2002 plan. The options vest over a three-year period on the anniversary date of issuance. At June 30, 2013, 19,246 options were exercisable. There were no options granted, exercised, or forfeited during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.
Compensation expense related to issued stock options amounted to $17,000 and $57,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively. As of June 30, 2013, there is $29,000 of unrecognized compensation expense expected to be recognized over the next ten-month period.
The Corporation also issued restricted stock awards of 5,250 shares in 2012 with a weighted average grant date fair value of $31.21 per share.
Compensation expense relating to restricted stock is recognized over the vesting period based on the market value of the shares on the issue date amounting to $24,000 during the six-months ended June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, there was $126,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of five years. Restricted stock awards vest over a five-year period.
NOTE 7 – ACQUISITION
On June 20, 2013, the Corporation signed a definitive agreement under which it will acquire Indebancorp in a stock and cash merger transaction. Under terms of the agreement, the shareholders of Indebancorp will receive either $55.00 in cash, 1.63 shares of Corporation stock, or a combination thereof subject to the overall consideration being 70% stock and 30% cash. Based on the Corporation’s recent average closing price, the transaction is valued at approximately $28.9 million and is expected to qualify as a tax-free reorganization. Indebancorp is headquartered in Oak Harbor, Ohio, with total assets of $232 million as of June 30, 2013 and four full-service branches and two loan production offices, all located within 30 miles of its corporate headquarters. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2013.

Under the terms of the agreement, Croghan will receive a 4% premium for all core deposits and as a result expects to recognize a gain, net of tax, from the sale of approximately $770,000 ($.46 per share). The transaction is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2013.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Croghan Bancshares, Inc. (the “Corporation”) was incorporated on September 27, 1983 in the State of Ohio. The Corporation is a bank holding company and has one wholly-owned subsidiary, The Croghan Colonial Bank (the “Bank”). The Corporation, through its subsidiary, operates in one industry segment, the commercial banking industry. The Bank, an Ohio chartered bank organized in 1888, has its main office in Fremont, Ohio and has branch offices located in Bellevue, Clyde, Custar, Fremont, Green Springs, Monroeville, Norwalk, Port Clinton, and Tiffin Ohio. The Bank’s primary source of revenue is providing loans to clients primarily located in Sandusky County, Seneca County, Ottawa County, Wood County, and the northwest portion of Huron County, which includes Bellevue, Monroeville, and Norwalk. Such clients are predominantly small and middle-market businesses and individuals.
Significant accounting policies followed by the Corporation are presented below.
Use of Estimates in Preparing Financial Statements
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of goodwill, fair value of securities, and other financial instruments.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Bank established a trust department in 1990 and the assets held by the Bank in fiduciary or agency capacities for its clients are not included in the consolidated balance sheets as such items are not assets of the Bank.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold which mature overnight or within four days.
Restrictions on Cash
The Bank was required to have $275,000 ofnon-interest bearing cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Securities
The Bank has designated all securities asavailable-for-sale. Such securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable income taxes, on such securities recognized as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
F-27
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONTINUED)
The cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and accretion is included in interest income from securities, principally using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary impaired (“OTTI”) are reflected in earnings as realized losses. Management evaluates securities for OTTI at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the intent to sell the investment securities and whether it is more likely than not that the Corporation will be required to sell the investment securities prior to recovery, (2) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, and (3) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Due to potential changes in conditions, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in management’s assessment of OTTI will occur in the near term and that such changes could be material to the amounts reported in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
Restricted stock consists primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland stock. Such securities are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment on an annual basis.
Gains and losses on sales of securities are recorded on the trade date, using the specific identification method, and are included innon-interest income.
Loans
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity orpay-off are stated at their outstanding principal balances, adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred loan fees or costs on originated loans. Interest is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan.
The accrual of interest on real estate and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Personal loans are typicallycharged-off no later than 120 days past due and credit card loans are typicallycharged-off no later than 180 days past due. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual orcharged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on nonaccrual loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. To consider moving non accrual or TDR non accruing loans back to accrual status, contractual loan payments must have been made for the previous six months and based upon current financial statements and/or current tax returns the client’s current and expected cash flow must be positive and should be projected to remain be positive.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of specific, general and secondary components. For loans that are classified as impaired, a specific reserve is established when the discounted cash flow (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers classified (i.e., substandard or special mention) loans which are not impaired, as well asnon-classified loans and
F-28
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONTINUED)
is generally based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The secondary component is maintained to cover economic and other external factors that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses and considers the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on acase-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Under certain circumstances, the Bank may provide borrowers relief through loan restructurings. A restructuring of debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) if the Bank, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Concessions may include reduction of interest rates, extension of maturity dates, forgiveness of principal or interest due, or acceptance of other assets in full or partial satisfaction of the debt. TDR loans typically present an elevated level of credit risk as the borrowers are not able to perform according to the original contractual terms. Loans that are reported as TDRs are considered impaired and measured for impairment, as previously described.
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential mortgage loans for impairment disclosures.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Upon the sale or disposition of the assets, the difference between the depreciated cost and proceeds is charged or credited to income. Depreciation is determined based on the estimated useful lives of the individual assets (typically 20 to 40 years for buildings and 3 to 10 years for equipment) and is computed primarily using the straight-line method.
Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance
Cash surrender value of life insurance is carried at the cash value of the underlying policies. Income on the investments in the policies, net of insurance costs, is recorded asnon-interest income.
Goodwill, Core Deposit Intangible, and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill resulting from the 1996 purchase of Union Bancshares Corp., the 2005 purchase of The Custar State Bank, and the 2011 purchase of four branches from The Home Savings and Loan Company of Youngstown, Ohio (“HSL”) are tested for impairment at least annually to determine if an impairment loss has occurred. The core deposit intangible asset arising from the 2005 purchase of The Custar State Bank was
F-29
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONTINUED)
amortized over an eight-year period on a straight-line basis through December 31, 2012, and the core deposit intangible asset arising from the 2011 HSL branch acquisition described in Note 3 is being amortized over ten years using the sum of digits amortization method.
Estimated future amortization of core deposit intangible assets is as follows: 2013, $272,000; 2014, $211,000; 2015, $159,000; 2016, $115,000; 2017, $78,000; and $92,000 thereafter. The fair value adjustment of time deposits acquired in the HSL transaction is being accreted on a straight-line basis over two years with $551,000 to be recognized in 2013. The loan discount resulting from the HSL transaction is being accreted to income over a five-year period on a straight-line basis with $39,000 expected to be recognized annually through 2016.
Other Real Estate Owned
Assets acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and any loan balance in excess of fair value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent valuations are periodically performed and any further write-downs are included in other operating expenses, as are gains or losses upon sale and expenses related to maintenance of the properties.
Servicing
Mortgage servicing rights are recognized as an asset when acquired through sale of loans. Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and amortized to expense in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the estimated fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Fair value is determined based upon estimated discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount.
Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans and is included in other operating income, net of amortization of mortgage servicing rights.
Off-Balance Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Bank, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
The transfer of a participating interest in an entire financial asset must also meet the definition of a participating interest. A participating interest in a financial asset has all of the following characteristics: (1) from the date of transfer, it must represent a proportionate (pro rata) ownership interest in the financial asset, (2) from the date of transfer, all cash flows received, except any cash flows allocated as any compensation for servicing or other services performed, must be divided proportionately among participating interest holders in the amount equal to their share ownership, (3) the rights of each participating interest holder must have the same priority, and (4) no party has the right to pledge or exchange the entire financial asset unless all participating interest holders agree to do so.
F-30
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONTINUED)
Supplemental Retirement Benefits
Annual provisions are made for the estimated liability for accumulated supplemental retirement benefits under agreements with various officers and employees. These provisions are determined based on the terms of the agreements, as well as certain assumptions including estimated service periods and discount rates.
Advertising Costs
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Federal Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided on temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting. Temporary differences are differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities reported for financial statement purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences that will be deductible in future years’ tax returns and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is deemed more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences that will be taxable in future years’ tax returns. Benefits from tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return are not recognized if the likelihood that the tax position would be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority is considered to be 50% or less. Interest and penalties resulting from the filing of income tax returns is a component of income tax expenses.
The Bank is not currently subject to state and local income taxes.
Comprehensive Income
Recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses are included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses onavailable-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.
Per Share Data
Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each year. Diluted net income per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares that may be used by the Corporation relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2012 | | | 2011 | | | 2010 | |
Basic | | | 1,673,667 | | | | 1,673,775 | | | | 1,692,307 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Diluted | | | 1,680,197 | | | | 1,673,775 | | | | 1,692,307 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Dividends per share are based on the number of shares outstanding at the declaration date.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(CONTINUED)
Subsequent Events
Management evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. Events or transactions occurring after December 31, 2012, but prior to that provided additional evidence about conditions that existed at December 31, 2012, have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. Events or transactions that provided evidence about conditions that did not exist at December 31, 2012, but arose before the consolidated financial statements were issued, have not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012.
NOTE 2 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2011, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)2011-04,Fair Value Measurement,amending Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820 which eliminates terminology differences between U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on the measurement of fair value and related fair value disclosures. While largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles and disclosures, the changes were made as part of the continuing efforts to converge GAAP and IFRS.ASU 2011-04 was adopted effective January 1, 2012, but did not have any impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.
In June 2011, FASB issued ASU2011-05,Comprehensive Income, amending ASC Topic 220 to require that allnon-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Additionally, the guidance requires entities to present, on the face of the financial statements, reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement or statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity was eliminated. The amendments inASU 2011-05 do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.
The Corporation adoptedASU-2011-05 for the first quarter of 2012 and has elected to present the components of other comprehensive income in a separate statement. The adoption ofASU 2011-05 did not have any impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.
In September 2011, FASB issued ASU2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The amendments in ASU2011-08 give the entity the option of first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after the assessment, the entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing thetwo-step impairment test is unnecessary. The amendments in ASU2011-08 are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company elected to have an independent valuation performed as of June 30, 2012 to assess goodwill impairment. As a result, ASU2011-08 had no impact on the Company’s 2012 consolidated financial statements.
In December 2011, FASB issued ASU2011-11,Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, amending ASC Topic 210 requiring an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU2011-11 during the first quarter of 2013 did not have any impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
F-32
NOTE 2 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS(CONTINUED)
In July 2012, FASB issued ASU2012-02,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, amending ASC Topic 350 to simplify how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment and to improve consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories. The amendment permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset other than goodwill is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. The amendment is effective for impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Management does not expectASU 2012-02 will have any impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – BRANCH ACQUISITION
On August 31, 2011, the Bank entered into an agreement to purchase four branch offices of The Home Savings and Loan Company of Youngstown, Ohio (“HSL”), located in Fremont, Clyde, and Tiffin, Ohio. Under the terms of the agreement, the Bank assumed all related deposits and purchased the related branch premises and certain loans. The transaction was completed on December 16, 2011, with assets acquired and deposits assumed being recorded at their estimated fair values as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | | | |
Cash | | $ | 83,398 | |
Loans | | | 21,503 | |
Bank premises and equipment | | | 1,801 | |
Goodwill | | | 4,245 | |
Core deposit intangible asset | | | 1,269 | |
Other assets | | | 66 | |
| | | | |
Total assets acquired | | $ | 112,282 | |
| | | | |
Deposits assumed | | $ | 111,075 | |
Other liabilities, including payable to seller | | | 1,207 | |
| | | | |
Total liabilities assumed | | $ | 112,282 | |
| | | | |
The operating results of the acquired branches, subsequent to December 16, 2011, are included in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.
Other liabilities include a payable to seller, estimated at December 31, 2011 to be $1,075,000 and representing the estimated change in the amounts of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed between the initial “draft” settlement and the final settlement. Under the terms of the agreement, a final closing statement was prepared by HSL subsequent to closing and received by the Bank on January 15, 2012. On March 12, 2012, the Bank made a payment of $1,026,000 as final settlement for changes occurring between the draft settlement and final settlement. The final settlement included a charge of $46,000 to previously recorded goodwill.
Goodwill arising from the acquisition represents additional consideration paid for the benefit of expected synergies, revenue growth, and future market development. These benefits are not separately recognizable from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition requirement for identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill arising from the acquisition is being amortized for tax purposes on a straight-line basis over a 15 year period.
Cash received from the transaction was primarily invested in the Bank’s securities portfolio and is expected to be used to fund anticipated loan growth.

At December 31, 2012, there were 42 securities in an unrealized loss position, with 16 being in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or more. When evaluating these securities for impairment, management considers the issuer’s financial condition, whether the securities are issued by federally-sponsored government agencies or political subdivisions, whether downgrades by the bond rating agencies have occurred, industry analyst reports, and volatility in the bond market. Management has concluded that the unrealized losses as of December 31, 2012 were primarily the result of customary and expected fluctuations in the bond market related to changes in interest rates. As management has the ability and intent to hold debt securities until recovery and meets the more likely than not requirement regarding the ability to hold securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value for securities classified asavailable-for-sale, all security impairments as of December 31, 2012 are considered temporary.
During 2011, the repayment terms of a municipal bond in default were modified resulting in a decline in the estimated fair value of the bond that management considered to be other than temporary. As a result, the Bank

NOTE 5 – SECURITIES(CONTINUED)
recognized a permanent impairment of $394,000 relating to the bond resulting in a charge to 2011 earnings. There were no further impairment adjustments with respect to the bond in 2012.
NOTE 6 – LOANS
Most of the Bank’s lending activity is with clients primarily located within Erie County, Huron County, Ottawa County, Sandusky County, Seneca County, and Wood County. Credit concentrations, as determined using the North American Industry Classification System, that exceeded 5% of total loans at December 31, 2012 and 2011 include $16,828,000 and $14,589,000, respectively, to borrowers in the construction industry; $25,067,000 and $19,916,000, respectively, to borrowers in the accommodation and food service industry; $21,362,000 and $20,715,000, respectively, to borrowers in the manufacturing industry; and $14,544,000 to borrowers in the agriculture industry in 2012.
The construction industry concentration includes loans to residential and commercial contractors who construct or install roads, sewers, bridges, homes, hotels, motels, apartment or commercial buildings, electrical and plumbing infrastructure, and air comfort systems. These loans are generally secured by real property, equipment, and receivables. Repayment is expected from cash flow from providing such services. The accommodation and food service industry concentration includes loans for the construction, purchase, and operation of hotels, restaurants, lounges, and campgrounds. These loans are generally secured by real property and equipment. Repayment is expected from cash flow from providing accommodations and food service to tourists, primarily visiting the Lake Erie region. The manufacturing industry concentration includes loans to local manufacturers who produce goods for a wide variety of industries, including chemical, automotive, and food processing. These loans are generally secured by real property, equipment, and receivables. Repayment is expected from cash flows generated from these operations. The agricultural industry concentration includes loans for farmland and lines of credit for equipment and grain production. These loans are generally secured by real property and equipment. Repayment is expected from cash flow from business activity generated from these operations.
Commercial and agricultural real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and agricultural operating loans, in addition to those unique to real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial and agricultural real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan.Loan-to-value is generally 75% of the cost or value of the assets. Appraisals on properties securing these loans are generally performed by appraisers approved by the Board of Directors. Because payments on commercial and agricultural real estate loans are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. Management monitors and evaluates commercial and agricultural real estate loans based on collateral and risk rating criteria. The Corporation generally requires guarantees on these loans. The Corporation’s commercial and agricultural real estate loans are secured primarily by properties located in its market area.
Commercial and agricultural operating loans are underwritten based on the Corporation’s examination of current and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed. This underwriting standard includes the evaluation of cash flows of the borrower, underlying collateral, if applicable, and the borrower’s ability to manage its business activities. The cash flows of borrowers and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value after the initial evaluation. A first priority lien on the general assets of the business normally secures these types of loans.Loan-to-value limits vary and are dependent upon the nature and type of the underlying collateral and the financial strength of the borrower. Crop and hail insurance is recommended for most agricultural borrowers. Loans are generally guaranteed by the principal owner. The Corporation makes commercial and agricultural operating loans primarily in its market area.
F-36
NOTE 6 – LOANS(CONTINUED)
Construction loans are underwritten utilizing independent appraisals, sensitivity analysis of absorption, vacancy and lease rates and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and values associated with the completed project, and are subjective by nature. These loans are closely monitored byon-site inspections. The Corporation’s construction loans are secured primarily by properties located in its market area.
The Corporation originates1-4 family real estate and consumer loans utilizing credit reports to supplement the underwriting process. The Corporation’s underwriting standards for1-4 family loans are generally in accordance with FHLMC and FNMA underwriting guidelines. Properties securing1-4 family real estate loans are appraised by appraisers who are independent of the loan origination function and have been approved by the Board of Directors. Theloan-to-value ratios normally do not exceed 80% without credit enhancements such as mortgage insurance. The Corporation will lend up to 100% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price for conventional1-4 family real estate loans, provided private mortgage insurance is obtained. The underwriting standards for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant’s payment history on other debts and an assessment of their ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. To monitor and manage loan risk, policies and procedures are developed, and modified as needed by management. This activity, coupled with smaller loan amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers, minimizes risk. Additionally, market conditions are reviewed by management on a regular basis. The Corporation’s1-4 family real estate loans are secured primarily by properties located in its market area.
The Corporation maintains an internal credit analysis department that reviews and validates the credit risk program on a periodic basis, as well as an external loan review performed annually or semi-annually. Results of these reviews are presented to management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The credit analysis and loan review processes compliment and reinforce the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Corporation’s policies and procedures.
Credit losses arising from the Bank’s lending experience in these industries compare favorably with the Bank’s loss experience on its loan portfolio as a whole. Credit evaluation of construction industry and accommodation and food service industry lending is based on an evaluation of cash flow coverage of principal and interest payments and the adequacy of collateral received.

The provision for loan losses relating to loans that were modified in troubled debt restructurings amounted to $33,000 in 2012 and $305,000 in 2011.
The following is a summary of the conditions and modifications for TDRs occurring during 2012:
| • | | Two of the modifications resulted in extending the maturity and a new amortization schedule. |
| • | | Two modifications resulted in a reduced interest rate. |
| • | | Two modifications had an independent source bring the loans current and agree to service the loans for a specified period of time. |
| • | | Two modifications had a reduction of principal and interest resulting in a balloon payment at maturity. |
| • | | One modification resulted in principal and interest being suspended for 11 months. |
| • | | Two modifications resulted in interest only concessions for six and four month periods, respectively. |
| • | | Two modifications resulted in reduced principal and interest payments for six and 12 months periods, respectively. |
| • | | One modification resulted in the renewal of aline-of-credit in exchange for loan term changing from interest only to principal and interest during the renewal period. |
For TDRs occurring during 2011, four of the loan modifications resulted in principal reductions. Three of thenon-farm/non-residential real estate loans, to the same borrower, had a restructured rate. The othernon-farm/non-residential real estate loan was placed in OREO.
The post-modification balances approximate thepre-modification balances. The aggregate amount of charge-offs as a result of a restructuring are not significant.
There were no subsequent defaults on troubled debt restructurings during the year ended December 31, 2012.
The Bank does not have material commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers with loans whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructuring or whose loans are on nonaccrual.

The Bank categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit
F-41
NOTE 6 – LOANS(CONTINUED)
documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Bank uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
| • | | Special Mention – Loans classified special mention, possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness that deserves close attention, but do not yet warrant substandard classification. Such loans pose unwarranted financial risk that, if not corrected, could weaken the loan and increase risk of losses in the future. |
| • | | Substandard –Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard have well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are categorized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. |
| • | | Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses of those classified as substandard. Additionally, however, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full based on existing conditions improbable. |
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. The following presents loans as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 that are collectively evaluated for impairment and are not considered to be impaired (dollars in thousands):

The deferred federal income tax provision (credit) of $206,000 in 2012, ($55,000) in 2011, and ($303,000) in 2010, resulted from the tax effects of temporary differences. There was no impact for changes in tax laws and rates or changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are presented below (dollars in thousands):

Net deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2012 and 2011 are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The alternative minimum tax credit carryforward of $9,000 at December 31, 2012 may be utilized in the future to the extent computed regular tax exceeds the alternative minimum tax.
Management believes it is more likely than not that the benefit of deferred tax assets will be realized. Consequently, no valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is deemed necessary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

NOTE 14 – FEDERAL INCOME TAXES(CONTINUED)
In management’s determination, the Corporation has no tax positions for which it deems reasonably possible that the total amounts of the unrecognized tax benefit will significantly increase or decrease within the 12 months subsequent to December 31, 2012. The tax years that remain open and subject to examination as of December 31, 2012 are years 2009 – 2012 for Federal and the State of Ohio.
NOTE 15 – EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Bank sponsors The Croghan Colonial Bank 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, a defined contribution plan which provides for both profit sharing and employer matching contributions. The Plan permits the investing in the Corporation’s stock subject to various limitations. The Bank’s profit sharing and matching contributions to the 401(k) profit sharing plan for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 amounted to $372,000, $372,000, and $345,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, the Plan held 27,850 shares of the Corporation’s common stock.
The Bank has entered into various split-dollar life insurance arrangements, including agreements with certain officers and employees of the Bank to provide for supplemental retirement benefits. All split-dollar policies required the payment of single premiums. The cash value of all split-dollar policies amounted to $11,087,000 and $10,766,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
In connection with the agreements, the Bank provided an estimated liability for accumulated supplemental retirement benefits of $210,000 at December 31, 2012 and $199,000 at December 31, 2011, which is included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the agreements were amended for certain former and current executive officers. Under the terms of the amended agreements, these individuals agreed to accept specified accelerated payments based on a discount rate of 6.0%. The Bank made payments in January 2010 of $72,000 under the amended agreements.
The Bank recognized a provision for deferred compensation of $11,000 in 2012, $16,000 in 2011, and $2,000 in 2010.
No other postretirement or postemployment benefits are offered to retirees or employees.
NOTE 16 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Corporation established in 2002 a Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”) which permitted the awarding of stock options and/or stock appreciation rights to directors, managerial, and other key employees of the Corporation. The 2002 Plan, which provided for the issuance of up to 190,951 shares, expired in March 2012.
At the 2012 Annual Stockholders Meeting, the stockholders of the Corporation adopted the Croghan Bancshares, Inc. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which permits the Corporation to award stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and other stock-based and performance-based awards to directors, employees, and other eligible participants. A total of 162,082 shares are available for issuance pursuant to the 2012 Plan.

The options vest over a three-year period on the anniversary date of issuance. At December 31, 2012, 9,623 options were exercisable with a weighted average remaining contractual term of 7 years.
The fair value of options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Following are assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the options issued in 2011:
| | | | |
Weighted-average fair value of options granted | | $ | 3.62 | |
Average dividend yield | | | 5.0 | % |
Expected volatility | | | 25.0 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 2.85 | % |
Expected term (in years) | | | 8 | |
Compensation expense related to issued stock options amounted to $57,000 in 2012. As of December 31, 2012, there is $46,000 of unrecognized compensation expense expected to be recognized over a period of two years.
Restricted stock awards may also be issued under the 2012 Plan. A summary of restricted stock activity for 2012 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | |

NOTE 17 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITHOFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Bank is a party to financial instruments withoff-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its clients. These financial instruments are primarily loan commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract amount of these instruments reflects the extent of involvement the Bank has in these financial instruments.
The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of the nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for loan commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amounts of these instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making loan commitments as it does foron-balance sheet loans.
The following financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk were outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011 (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| | Contract amount | |
| | 2012 | | | 2011 | |
Commitments to extend credit, including commitments to grant loans and unfunded commitments under lines of credit | | $ | 92,492 | | | $ | 75,274 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Standby letters of credit | | $ | 1,619 | | | $ | 1,519 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on acase-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the client. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant, and equipment; and income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party and are reviewed for renewal at expiration. At December 31, 2012, the Bank had outstanding standby letters of credit aggregating $1,619,000, of which $1,608,000 expire in 2013 and $11,000 expire in 2014. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to clients. The Bank requires collateral supporting these commitments when deemed necessary.
NOTE 18 – REGULATORY MATTERS
The Corporation (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Corporation’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certainoff-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
F-50
NOTE 18 – REGULATORY MATTERS(CONTINUED)
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations), and of Tier I capital to average assets (as defined in the regulations). Management believes, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, that the Corporation and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.
As of December 31, 2012, the most recent notification from federal and state banking agencies categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized”, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.
The actual capital amounts and ratios of the Corporation and the Bank as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 are also presented in the following (dollars in thousands):

On a parent company only basis, the Corporation’s primary source of funds are dividends paid by the Bank. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends is subject to limitations under various laws and regulations, and to prudent and sound banking principles. Generally, subject to certain minimum capital requirements, the Bank may declare a dividend without the approval of the State of Ohio Division of Financial Institutions, unless the total dividends
F-51
NOTE 18 – REGULATORY MATTERS(CONTINUED)
in a calendar year exceed the total of its net profits for the year combined with its retained profits of the two preceding years. Under these provisions, $4,392,000 was available for dividends on January 1, 2013, without the need to obtain the approval of the State of Ohio Division of Financial Institutions.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System generally considers it to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice for a bank holding company to pay dividends except out of current operating income, although other factors such as overall capital adequacy and projected income may also be relevant in determining whether dividends may be paid.

NOTE 20 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are independent, knowledgeable, and both able and willing to transact.
Nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include reporting units measured at fair value in the first step of a goodwill impairment test. Nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment test, as well as intangible assets and other nonfinancial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment, such as other real estate owned.
ASC820-10 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach, and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount
F-53
NOTE 20 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS(CONTINUED)
on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, ASC820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 –Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 –Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability for which there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs reflect the Corporation’s own assumptions about what market participants would use to price the asset or liability. The inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include the Corporation’s own financial data such as internally developed pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the fair value determination requires significant management judgment.
There were no financial instruments measured at fair value that moved to a lower level in the fair value hierarchy due to the lack of observable quotes in inactive markets for those instruments at December 31, 2012 and 2011.
The following summarizes financial assets (there were no financial liabilities) measured at fair value as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (dollars in thousands):

Impaired loans are reported net of an allowance for loan losses of $536,000 at December 31, 2012 and $1,195,000 at December 31, 2011.
Other real estate owned, which is measured at the lower of carrying or fair value less costs to sell, had a net carrying amount as of December 31, 2012 of $1,295,000, which is made up of the balance of $1,328,000, net of a valuation allowance of $33,000. Other real estate owned had a net carrying amount of $1,877,000, made up of the balance of $2,042,000, net of a valuation allowance of $165,000, at December 31, 2011. Write-downs of other real estate owned amounted to $28,000 and $97,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are included in othernon-interest expenses.
There were no transfers of financial instruments between Levels 1 and 2 during 2012 and 2011.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, follows:
In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Corporation’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Corporation’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Corporation’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
In connection with the branch acquisition described in Note 3, loans acquired of $21,503,000 and deposits assumed of $111,075,000 were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the December 16, 2011 closing date based on the present value of the future incremental cash flows. Certain inputs used in the calculations would be unobservable to a market participant, making them level 3 inputs.
SecuritiesAvailable-for-Sale
Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would typically include government bonds and exchange traded equities.
F-55
NOTE 20 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS(CONTINUED)
If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include corporate and municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The Corporation did not have any securities classified as Level 1 or Level 3 at December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Impaired Loans
The Corporation does not record impaired loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, periodically, a loan is considered impaired and is reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell, if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs, including recent appraisals and Level 3 inputs based on customized discounting criteria including discounting of appraisals based on age or changes in property or market conditions. These discounts generally range from 10% to 55%. Collateral values are also discounted for estimated selling costs of 10%. Due to the significance of the Level 3 inputs, impaired loans fair values have been classified as Level 3.
Other Real Estate Owned
The Corporation values other real estate owned at the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less expected selling costs, generally approximating 10%. Such values are estimated primarily using appraisals and reflect a market value approach. Due to the significance of the Level 3 inputs, other real estate owned has been classified as Level 3.

The preceding summary does not include accrued interest receivable, cash surrender value of life insurance, dividends payable, and other liabilities which are also considered financial instruments. The estimated fair value of such items is considered to be their carrying amount.
The Bank also has unrecognized financial instruments which relate to commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The contract amount of such financial instruments was $94,111,000 at December 31, 2012 and $76,793,000 at December 31, 2011. The fair value of such instruments is not considered significant since they represent commitments at current interest rates.
F-56
NOTE 21 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS(CONTINUED)
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value of each class of financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Fair value is determined to be the carrying amount for these items because they represent cash or mature in 90 days or less and do not represent unanticipated credit concerns.
Securities
The fair value ofavailable-for-sale securities is determined based on quoted market prices of the individual securities or, if not available, estimated fair value was obtained by comparison to other known securities with similar risk and maturity characteristics. Such value does not consider possible tax ramifications or estimated transaction costs. The fair value of restricted stock is considered to be its carrying amount.
Loans
Fair value for loans is estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. For adjustable rate loans, whichre-price at least annually and generally possess low risk characteristics, the carrying amount is believed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. For fixed-rate loans, the fair value is estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, considering weighted average rates and terms of the portfolio, adjusted for credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loans. Fair value for nonperforming loans is based on recent appraisals or estimated discounted cash flows. The estimated value of credit card loans is based on existing loans and does not include the value that relates to estimated cash flows from new loans generated from existing cardholders over the remaining life of the portfolio.
Deposit Liabilities
The fair value of core deposits, including demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits, is the amount payable on demand. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates offered at year end for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The estimated fair value does not include the benefit that results from thelow-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the marketplace.
Other Financial Instruments
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements are considered to be short-term borrowings and are valued at carrying value. Borrowed funds are typically long-term in nature with fair value determined based on discounted cash flow analysis using current interest rates.
The fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.
NOTE 22 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Bank has entered into multi-year agreements to lease certain of its facilities, as well as equipment under various short-term operating leases through June 2015. Rent expense under these agreements amounted to $76,000 in 2012, $116,000 in 2011, and $140,000 in 2010. Future minimum lease payments under long-term operating leases aggregate $119,000 at December 31, 2012 are as follows: 2013, $53,000; 2014, $46,000; and 2015, $20,000.
F-57
NOTE 22 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES(CONTINUED)
In the normal course of business, the Corporation and Bank may be involved in various legal actions, but in the opinion of management and its legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 24 – ACQUISITION
On June 20, 2013, the Corporation signed a definitive agreement under which it will acquire Indebancorp in a stock and cash merger transaction. Under terms of the agreement, the shareholders of Indebancorp will receive either $55.00 in cash, 1.63 shares of Corporation stock, or a combination thereof subject to the overall consideration being 70% stock and 30% cash. Based on the Corporation’s recent average closing price, the transaction is valued at approximately $28.9 million and is expected to qualify as atax-free reorganization. Indebancorp is headquartered in Oak Harbor, Ohio, with total assets of $232 million as of June 30, 2013 and four full-service branches and two loan production offices, all located within 30 miles of its corporate headquarters. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2013.
NOTE 25 – BRANCH SALE
On August 7, 2013, Croghan entered into an agreement to sell its Custar branch operations, including cash and due from bank deposits ($16,655,000), loans ($12,302,000), bank premises ($295,000, net of depreciation), and customer deposits ($29,302,000). Under the terms of the agreement, Croghan will receive a 4% premium for all core deposits and as a result expects to recognize a gain, net of tax, from the sale of approximately $770,000 ($.46 per share). The transaction is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2013.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements.

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except Share and Per Share Amounts)
Note 1: Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Indebancorp (Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiary, National Bank of Ohio (Bank). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report for year ended December 31, 2012.
The interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013 and for the periods ending June 30, 2013 and 2012, have not been audited by independent accountants, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results of operations for the periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A discussion of our critical accounting policies is disclosed in Note 1 of our Annual Report as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012. Certain accounting policies require management to use estimates and make assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. There were not material changes in the information regarding our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2012.

Securities with a carrying value of approximately $15,010,000 and $17,439,000 were pledged at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, to secure certain deposits and for other purposes as permitted or required by law.
Gross gains of $3,800 resulting from the sale of available-for-sale securities were realized during the three and six months period ending June 30, 2012. There were no securities sold during the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2013.
Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, was approximately

Indebancorp
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2013

$12,196,000 and $489,000, which is approximately 48% and 2%, respectively, of the Company’savailable-for-sale investment portfolio. These declines primarily resulted from changes in market interest rates since the securities were purchased.
Except as discussed below, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary.
The following table shows the Company’s investments’ gross unrealized losses and fair value of the Company’s investments with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, aggregated by investment class and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment
Upon acquisition of a security, the Company decides whether it is within the scope of the accounting guidance for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets or will be evaluated for impairment under the accounting guidance for investments in debt and equity securities.
The accounting guidance for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets provides incremental impairment guidance for a subset of the debt securities within the scope of the guidance for investments in debt and equity securities. For securities where the security is not a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets, the Company uses a debt securities impairment model.
The Company conducts periodic reviews to identify and evaluate each investment security to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. Economic models are used to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on these securities. While all securities are considered, the securities primarily impacted by other-than-temporary impairment testing are certain unrated municipal bonds. For certain unrated municipal bonds in the investment portfolio (including but not limited to those whose fair value is less than their amortized cost basis), a regular review is conducted to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. Inputs may include the actual collateral attributes, which include performance indicators and collateral value of the underlying asset.

If the Company determines that a given unrated municipal bond position will be subject to a write-down or loss, the Company records the expected credit loss as a charge to earnings.
Credit Losses Recognized on Investments
Certain debt securities have experienced fair value deterioration due to credit losses, as well as due to other market factors, but are not otherwise other-than-temporarily impaired.

Internal Risk Categories
Loan grades are numbered 1 through 8. Grades 1 through 4 are considered satisfactory grades. The grade of 5, or Watch or Special Mention, represents loans of lower quality and is considered criticized. The grades of 6, or Substandard, and 7, or Doubtful, refer to loans that are classified. The grade of 8, or Loss, refers to loans that will be charged off. The use and application of these grades by the Bank conform to the Bank’s policy.
Excellent (1) loans are prime loans based on liquid collateral with adequate margin or supported by a strong financial statement with an unqualified opinion from a CPA firm; character and repayment ability of the borrowers are excellent and without question; strong liquidity, minimal leverage, low risk and minimal handling costs are required for this designation.
Good (2) loans are desirable loans of somewhat less stature than grade 1, but with strong financial statements containing an unqualified opinion from a CPA firm or supported by unaudited financial statements with strong balance sheets and five consecutive years of profits, combined with a satisfactory relationship with the Bank may earn this designation; loans secured by marketable securities (where there is no concentration or impairment to liquidation) may also be rated a 2; loans possessing a definite primary repayment source and a strong secondary repayment source; individual loans backed by liquid personal assets, established credit history and unquestionable personal character.
Satisfactory (3) loans are of average or slightly above average risk and have some deficiency or vulnerability to changing economic or industry conditions, but are still fully collectible; debt service coverage should meet or exceed loan policy standards and may exhibit minor weaknesses, but have offsetting features of other, readily available support; loans that have currently and historically met all terms of repayment, but which may be susceptible to deterioration if adverse factors are encountered.

Loans may be graded 3 when there is no recent information on which to base a current risk evaluation and the following conditions apply:
| • | | At inception, the loan was properly underwritten and did not possess an unwarranted level of credit risk; also the loan met the above criteria for a risk grade of 1 (Excellent), 2 (Good) or 3 (Satisfactory) |
| • | | At inception, the loan was secured with collateral in accordance with loan policy parameters |
| • | | The loan exhibited two or more years of satisfactory repayment with a reasonable reduction of the principal balance |
| • | | During the period that the loan has been outstanding, there has been no evidence of any credit weakness. Some examples of weakness include slow payment, lack of cooperation by the borrower, breach of loan covenants, or the business is in an industry which is known to be experiencing problems. If any of these credit weaknesses is observed, a lower risk grade is warranted |
Satisfactory/Monitored (4) loans are considered satisfactory but which are of below average credit risk due to financial weaknesses or uncertainty.
Internal Watch (4.5) loans warrant a higher than average level of monitoring to ensure that weaknesses do not advance; the level of risk for this classification is considered acceptable and within normal underwriting guidelines, so long as the loan is given the proper level of management supervision.
Special Mention (5) loans possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses which deserve close attention, which do not yet warrant substandard classification, but do pose unwarranted financial risk that, if not corrected, could weaken the loan and increase risk in the future; key distinctions of a 5 classification are that (1) it is indicative of an unwarranted level of risk, and (2) weaknesses are considered “potential”, versus “defined”, impairments to the primary source of loan.
Substandard (6) loans may exhibit one or more of the following characteristics:
| • | | Loans which possess a defined credit weakness with the uncertain likelihood that a loan will be paid from the primary source; financial deterioration is underway, and very close attention is warranted to ensure that the loan is collected without loss |
| • | | Loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and repayment capacity of the obligor(s) |
| • | | The primary source of repayment is absent, and the Bank has been forced to rely solely upon a secondary source for repayment (such as collateral liquidation or guarantees) |
| • | | Loans are characterized by a realistic possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected |
| • | | Unusual courses of action are needed to maintain a high probability of repayment. |
| • | | The borrower is not generating enough cash flow to repay loan principal; however, continues to make interest payments |
| • | | The Bank has been forced into a subordinated or unsecured collateral position due to documentation errors |
| • | | Loans have been restructured so that payment schedules, terms, and/or collateral represent concessions to the borrower when compared to the original loan terms |
| • | | The Bank is seriously contemplating foreclosure or repossession due to apparent deterioration of the loan |

Doubtful (7) loans possess an imminent possibility of loss and serious financial deterioration is evident and steps to minimize loss and/or maximize recovery are imperative; have all of the weaknesses of a loan classified as substandard but furthermore these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on existing conditions, improbable; the primary source of repayment isnon-existent and there is considerable doubt as to the quality of the secondary source of repayment; the likelihood of loss is high, but because of certain important pending factors which may strengthen the loan, loss classification is deferred until its exact status is known.
Loss (8) loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuing to carry them as assets on the Bank’s financial statements is not feasible; loans will be classified as loss when it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off or reserving all, or a portion of a basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be possible at some time in the future.
Risk characteristics applicable to each segment of the loan portfolio are described as follows.
Agriculture: Agriculture loans typically involve larger principal amounts, and repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operations conducted on the property securing the loan. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Credit risk in these loans may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the Bank’s market areas.
Commercial and Industrial: The commercial and industrial portfolio includes loans to commercial customers for use in financing working capital needs, equipment purchases and expansions. The loans in this category are repaid primarily from the cash flow of a borrower’s principal business operation. Credit risk in these loans is driven by creditworthiness of a borrower and the economic conditions that impact the cash flow stability from business operations.
Commercial Real Estate: Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger principal amounts, and repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operations of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Credit risk in these loans may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the Bank’s market areas.
Residential Real Estate: The residential1-4 family real estate are generally secured by owner-occupied1-4 family residences. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers. Credit risk in these loans can be impacted by economic conditions within the Bank’s market areas that might impact either property values or a borrower’s personal income. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.
Consumer and Credit Cards: The consumer loan portfolio consists of various term and line of credit loans such as automobile loans, unsecured credit cards and loans for other personal purposes. Repayment for these types of loans will come from a borrower’s income sources that are typically independent of the loan purpose. Credit risk is driven by consumer economic factors such as unemployment and general economic conditions in the Bank’s market area and the creditworthiness of a borrower.

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance(ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings.
The following table presents impaired loans as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Note 6: Stockholders’ Equity
On September 20, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Secretary of the Treasury, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Treasury 2,000 shares of its SeniorNon-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $2,000,000. The issuance was pursuant to the Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund program (SBLF), a $30 billion fund established under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, which encourages lending to small businesses by providing capital to qualified community banks with assets of less than $10 billion. The proceeds were invested by the Company in the Bank.
The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receivenon-cumulative dividends in arrears payable quarterly on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning January 2, 2012. The dividend rate, which is calculated on the aggregate Liquidation Amount, has been initially set at 5% per annum based upon the current level of “Qualified Small Business Lending” (QSBL) by the Bank. The dividend rate for future dividend periods will be set based upon the percentage change in qualified lending between each dividend period and the baseline QSBL level established at the time the Agreement was entered into. Such dividend rate may vary from 1% per annum to 5% per annum for the second through tenth dividend periods, and from 1% per annum to 7% per annum for the eleventh through the first half of the nineteenth dividend periods. If the Series A Preferred Stock remains

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2013
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except Share and Per Share Amounts)
outstanding for more thanfour-and-one-half years, the dividend rate will be fixed at 9%. Prior to that time, in general, the dividend rate decreases as the level of the Bank’s QSBL increases. Such dividends are not cumulative, but the Company may only declare and pay dividends on its common stock if it has declared and paid dividends for the current dividend period on the Series A Preferred Stock, and will be subject to other restrictions on its ability to repurchase or redeem other securities.
In September 2012, the Company repurchased all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
Note 7: Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| | |
Level 1 | | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
| |
Level 2 | | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities |
| |
Level 3 | | Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities |
Recurring Measurements
The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company has no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Available-for-Sale Securities
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company has no securities classified as Level 1.
If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. The inputs used by the pricing service to determine fair value may include one, or a combination of, observable inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads,two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data market research publications and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. These Level 2 securities include brokered certificates of deposit, federal agencies and U.S. treasuries, state and municipal securities and mortgage-backed GSE residential securities. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. The Company has no securities classified as Level 3.
Nonrecurring Measurements

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. The Company has no liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans, Net of ALL
The estimated fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is based on the appraised fair value of the collateral, less estimated cost to sell. Collateral-dependent impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company considers the appraisal or evaluation as the starting point for determining fair value and then considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value. Appraisals of the collateral underlying collateral-dependent loans are obtained when the loan is determined to be collateral-dependent and subsequently as deemed necessary by members of management. Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by members of management. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management. The appraised values are reduced by discounts to consider lack of marketability and estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of the loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral. These discounts and estimates are developed by members of management by comparison to historical results.
Unobservable (Level 3) Inputs

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at amounts other than fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Loans Held for Sale
Fair value of loans held for sale are based on quoted market prices, where available, or are determined by discounting estimated cash flows using interest rates approximating the Company’s current origination rates for similar loans and adjusted to reflect the inherent credit risk.
Loans
Fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the market rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.
Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Interest Receivable
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
F-80
Indebancorp
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2013
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands Except Share and Per Share Amounts)
Deposits
Fair value of term deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates of similar deposits with similar maturities. The market rates used were obtained from a knowledgeable independent third party and reviewed by the Company. The rates were the average of current rates offered by local competitors of the bank subsidiary.
The estimated fair value of demand, savings and money market deposits is the book value since rates are regularly adjusted to market rates and amounts are payable on demand at the reporting date.
FHLB Advances
Fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates of similar advances with similar maturities. These rates were obtained from current rates offered by FHLB.
Interest Payable
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Commitments to Originate Loans, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit
The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. Fair values of commitments were not material at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Independent Auditor’s Report
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Indebancorp
Oak Harbor, Ohio
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Indebancorp (Company) and its subsidiary, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Indebancorp and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
The accounting and reporting policies of Indebancorp (Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiary, National Bank of Ohio (Bank), conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reporting practices followed by the banking industry. The more significant of the policies are described below.
The Corporation is a bank holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of the Bank. The Bank operates under a national bank charter and provides a full range of banking services. As a national bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The Bank generates commercial, mortgage and consumer loans and receives deposits from customers located primarily in Ottawa County, Ohio and surrounding counties. The Bank’s loans are generally secured by specific items of collateral including real property, consumer assets and business assets.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and the Bank (collectively, Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, valuation of deferred tax assets, other-than-temporary impairments (OTTI) and fair values of financial instruments.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, cash equivalents consisted primarily of federal funds sold. At December 31, 2012, the Company’s cash accounts did not exceed federally insured limits.
Pursuant to legislation enacted in 2010, the FDIC fully insured all noninterest-bearing transaction accounts beginning December 31, 2010, through December 31, 2012, at all FDIC-insured institutions. This legislation expired on December 31, 2012. Beginning January 1, 2013, noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are subject to the $250,000 limit on FDIC insurance per covered institution.
Federal funds sold are not FDIC insured.

Securities
Available-for-sale securities, which include any security for which the Company has no immediate plan to sell but which may be sold in the future, are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific-identification method.
For debt securities with fair value below amortized cost when the Company does not intend to sell a debt security, and it is more likely than not the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it recognizes the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income.
The Company’s consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, reflect the full impairment (that is, the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and fair value) on debt securities that the Company intends to sell or would more likely than not be required to sell before the expected recovery of the amortized cost basis. Foravailable-for-sale debt securities that management has no intent to sell and believes that it more likely than not will not be required to sell prior to recovery, only the credit loss component of the impairment is recognized in earnings, while the noncredit loss is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. The credit loss component recognized in earnings is identified as the amount of principal cash flows not expected to be received over the remaining term of the security as projected based on cash flow projections.
Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to noninterest income. Gains and losses on loan sales are recorded in noninterest income, and direct loan origination costs and fees are deferred at origination of the loan and are recognized in noninterest income upon sale of the loan.
Loans
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoffs are reported at their outstanding principal balances adjusted for unearned income, charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any unamortized deferred fees or costs.
For loans amortized at cost, interest income is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and amortized as a level-yield adjustment over the respective term of the loan.
The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is generally discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012 and 2011
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are generally placed on nonaccrual or charged off are reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established if the discounted cash flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers nonclassified loans and is based on historicalcharge-off experience and expected loss given default derived from the Company’s internal risk rating process. Other adjustments may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on acase-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on aloan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Groups of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the group’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment measurements, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial difficulties of the borrower.

Premises and Equipment
Depreciable assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposition are included in current operations.
Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale
Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net income or expense from foreclosed assets.
Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
Federal Reserve (FRB) and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock are required investments for institutions that are members of the Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank systems. The required investment in the common stock is based on a predetermined formula, carried at cost and evaluated for impairment.
Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company – put presumptively beyond the reach of the transferor and its creditors, even in bankruptcy or other receivership, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (ASC 740,Income Taxes). The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur. Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Uncertain tax positions are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of

more than 50%; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets themore-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met themore-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes, if any, as a component of income tax expense.
The Corporation files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiary.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses onavailable-for-sale securities.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2011 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2012 consolidated financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income
Subsequent Events
Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of the Independent Auditor’s Report, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

Securities with a carrying value of approximately $17,439,000 and $14,427,000 were pledged at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, to secure certain deposits and for other purposes as permitted or required by law.
Gross gains of $3,881 and $175,509 and gross losses of $0 and $840 resulting from sales ofavailable-for-sale securities were realized for 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Certain investments in debt securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at December 31, 2012 and 2011, was approximately $489,000 and $1,222,000, which is approximately 2% and 4%, respectively, of the Company’savailable-for-sale investment portfolio. These declines primarily resulted from changes in market interest rates since the securities were purchased.
Except as discussed below, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment
Upon acquisition of a security, the Company decides whether it is within the scope of the accounting guidance for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets or will be evaluated for impairment under the accounting guidance for investments in debt and equity securities.
The accounting guidance for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets provides incremental impairment guidance for a subset of the debt securities within the scope of the guidance for investments in debt and equity securities. For securities where the security is not a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets, the Company uses a debt securities impairment model.
The Company conducts periodic reviews to identify and evaluate each investment security to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. Economic models are used to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on these securities. While all securities are considered, the securities primarily impacted by other-than-temporary impairment testing are certain unrated municipal bonds. For certain unrated municipal bonds in the investment portfolio (including but not limited to those whose fair value is less than their amortized cost basis), a regular review is conducted to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. Inputs may include the actual collateral attributes, which include performance indicators and collateral value of the underlying asset.
If the Company determines that a given unrated municipal bond position will be subject to a write-down or loss, the Company records the expected credit loss as a charge to earnings.
Credit Losses Recognized on Investments
Certain debt securities have experienced fair value deterioration due to credit losses, as well as due to other market factors, but are not otherwise other-than-temporarily impaired.

Internal Risk Categories
Loan grades are numbered 1 through 8. Grades 1 through 4 are considered satisfactory grades. The grade of 5, or Watch or Special Mention, represents loans of lower quality and is considered criticized. The grades of 6, or Substandard, and 7, or Doubtful, refer to loans that are classified. The grade of 8, or Loss, refers to loans that will be charged off. The use and application of these grades by the Bank conform to the Bank’s policy.
Excellent (1) loans are prime loans based on liquid collateral with adequate margin or supported by a strong financial statement with an unqualified opinion from a CPA firm; character and repayment ability of the borrowers are excellent and without question; strong liquidity, minimal leverage, low risk and minimal handling costs are required for this designation.
Good (2) loans are desirable loans of somewhat less stature than grade 1, but with strong financial statements containing an unqualified opinion from a CPA firm or supported by unaudited financial statements with strong balance sheets and five consecutive years of profits, combined with a satisfactory relationship with the Bank may earn this designation; loans secured by marketable securities (where there is no concentration or impairment to liquidation) may also be rated a 2; loans possessing a definite primary repayment source and a strong secondary repayment source; individual loans backed by liquid personal assets, established credit history and unquestionable personal character.
Satisfactory (3) loans are of average or slightly above average risk and have some deficiency or vulnerability to changing economic or industry conditions, but are still fully collectible; debt service coverage should meet or exceed loan policy standards and may exhibit minor weaknesses, but have offsetting features of other, readily available support; loans that have currently and historically met all terms of repayment, but which may be susceptible to deterioration if adverse factors are encountered.
Loans may be graded 3 when there is no recent information on which to base a current risk evaluation and the following conditions apply:
| • | | At inception, the loan was properly underwritten and did not possess an unwarranted level of credit risk; also the loan met the above criteria for a risk grade of 1 (Excellent), 2 (Good) or 3 (Satisfactory) |
F-96
Indebancorp
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012 and 2011
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)
| • | | At inception, the loan was secured with collateral in accordance with loan policy parameters |
| • | | The loan exhibited two or more years of satisfactory repayment with a reasonable reduction of the principal balance |
| • | | During the period that the loan has been outstanding, there has been no evidence of any credit weakness. Some examples of weakness include slow payment, lack of cooperation by the borrower, breach of loan covenants, or the business is in an industry which is known to be experiencing problems. If any of these credit weaknesses is observed, a lower risk grade is warranted |
Satisfactory/Monitored (4) loans are considered satisfactory but which are of below average credit risk due to financial weaknesses or uncertainty.
Internal Watch (4.5) loans warrant a higher than average level of monitoring to ensure that weaknesses do not advance; the level of risk for this classification is considered acceptable and within normal underwriting guidelines, so long as the loan is given the proper level of management supervision.
Special Mention (5) loans possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses which deserve close attention, which do not yet warrant substandard classification, but do pose unwarranted financial risk that, if not corrected, could weaken the loan and increase risk in the future; key distinctions of a 5 classification are that (1) it is indicative of an unwarranted level of risk, and (2) weaknesses are considered “potential”, versus “defined”, impairments to the primary source of loan.
Substandard (6) loans may exhibit one or more of the following characteristics:
| • | | Loans which possess a defined credit weakness with the uncertain likelihood that a loan will be paid from the primary source; financial deterioration is underway, and very close attention is warranted to ensure that the loan is collected without loss |
| • | | Loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and repayment capacity of the obligor(s) |
| • | | The primary source of repayment is absent, and the Bank has been forced to rely solely upon a secondary source for repayment (such as collateral liquidation or guarantees) |
| • | | Loans are characterized by a realistic possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected |
| • | | Unusual courses of action are needed to maintain a high probability of repayment. |
| • | | The borrower is not generating enough cash flow to repay loan principal; however, continues to make interest payments |
| • | | The Bank has been forced into a subordinated or unsecured collateral position due to documentation errors |
| • | | Loans have been restructured so that payment schedules, terms, and/or collateral represent concessions to the borrower when compared to the original loan terms |
| • | | The Bank is seriously contemplating foreclosure or repossession due to apparent deterioration of the loan |
Doubtful (7) loans possess an imminent possibility of loss and serious financial deterioration is evident and steps to minimize loss and/or maximize recovery are imperative; have all of the weaknesses of a loan classified
F-97
Indebancorp
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012 and 2011
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)
as substandard but furthermore these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on existing conditions, improbable; the primary source of repayment isnon-existent and there is considerable doubt as to the quality of the secondary source of repayment; the likelihood of loss is high, but because of certain important pending factors which may strengthen the loan, loss classification is deferred until its exact status is known.
Loss (8) loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuing to carry them as assets on the Bank’s financial statements is not feasible; loans will be classified as loss when it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off or reserving all, or a portion of a basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be possible at some time in the future.
Risk characteristics applicable to each segment of the loan portfolio are described as follows.
Agriculture: Agriculture loans typically involve larger principal amounts, and repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operations conducted on the property securing the loan. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Credit risk in these loans may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the Bank’s market areas.
Commercial and Industrial: The commercial and industrial portfolio includes loans to commercial customers for use in financing working capital needs, equipment purchases and expansions. The loans in this category are repaid primarily from the cash flow of a borrower’s principal business operation. Credit risk in these loans is driven by creditworthiness of a borrower and the economic conditions that impact the cash flow stability from business operations.
Commercial Real Estate: Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger principal amounts, and repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operations of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Credit risk in these loans may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the Bank’s market areas.
Residential Real Estate: The residential1-4 family real estate are generally secured by owner-occupied1-4 family residences. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers. Credit risk in these loans can be impacted by economic conditions within the Bank’s market areas that might impact either property values or a borrower’s personal income. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.
Consumer and Credit Cards: The consumer loan portfolio consists of various term and line of credit loans such as automobile loans, unsecured credit cards and loans for other personal purposes. Repayment for these types of loans will come from a borrower’s income sources that are typically independent of the loan purpose. Credit risk is driven by consumer economic factors such as unemployment and general economic conditions in the Bank’s market area and the creditworthiness of a borrower.

Note 10: Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit, which are not included in the accompanying financial statements. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making such commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the consolidated balance sheets.
Financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk consist of commitments to extend credit totaling approximately $17,798,000 and $18,767,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on acase-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.
Note 11: Stockholders’ Equity
On September 20, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Secretary of the Treasury, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Treasury 2,000 shares of its SeniorNon-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $2,000,000. The issuance was pursuant to the Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund program (SBLF), a $30 billion fund established under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, which encourages lending to small businesses by providing capital to qualified community banks with assets of less than $10 billion. The proceeds were invested by the Company in the Bank.
The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receivenon-cumulative dividends in arrears payable quarterly on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning January 2, 2012. The dividend rate, which is calculated on the aggregate Liquidation Amount, has been initially set at 5% per annum based upon the current level of “Qualified Small Business Lending” (QSBL) by the Bank. The dividend rate for future dividend periods will be set based upon the percentage change in qualified lending between each dividend period and the baseline QSBL level established at the time the Agreement was entered into. Such dividend rate may vary from 1% per annum to 5% per annum for the second through tenth dividend periods, and from 1% per annum to 7% per annum for the eleventh through the first half of the nineteenth dividend periods. If the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding for more thanfour-and-one-half years, the dividend rate will be fixed at 9%. Prior to that time, in general, the dividend rate decreases as the level of the Bank’s QSBL increases. Such dividends are not cumulative, but the Company may only declare and pay dividends on its common stock if it has declared and paid dividends for the current dividend period on the Series A Preferred Stock, and will be subject to other restrictions on its ability to repurchase or redeem other securities.
During 2012, the Company repurchased all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Note 12: Regulatory Capital
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certainoff-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Furthermore, the Bank’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in these financial statements.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier I capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 2012, the most recent notification from Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

Note 13: Employee Benefits
The Company has a qualified noncontributory profit-sharing plan and incentive plan in which substantially all employees may participate. Annual contributions are subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors. Benefits vest gradually over asix-year period. The Company recognized expense relating to the plans of $213,194 and $198,250 in 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The Company also has an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) covering substantially all of its employees. The cost of the plan is borne by the Company through contributions to an employee stock ownership trust in amounts determined by the Board of Directors. The plan provides for the purchase of any stock distributed to a participant at its fair value within 60 days of its distribution. If the participant does not exercise the put option within the60-day period, the option will temporarily lapse. After the next succeeding appraisal of the Company’s stock has been completed, all those who did not exercise the put option during the first open period will have an additional60-day option period.
The total number of shares held by the plan, all of which have been allocated to participant accounts, was 24,294 and 24,317 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The fair value of the allocated shares subject to repurchase was $1,068,936 and $1,021,353 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Annual contributions to the ESOP are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. During 2012 and 2011, there were no contributions to the ESOP.
The Company also has nonqualified retirement plans for its directors and certain executive officers. The Company’s expense for the plans, including fee deferrals, was $188,093 and $134,852 for 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Note 14: Related Party Transactions
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Bank had loans outstanding to executive officers, directors, significant shareholders and their affiliates (related parties), in the amount of $1,290,000 and $1,590,000, respectively.
In management’s opinion, such loans and other extensions of credit and deposits were made in the ordinary course of business and were made on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. Further, in management’s opinion, these loans did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
Deposits from related parties held by the Bank at December 31, 2012 and 2011, totaled approximately $2,166,000 and $1,619,000, respectively.
Note 15: Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the

use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| | |
Level 1 | | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
| |
Level 2 | | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities |

There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company has no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Available-for-Sale Securities
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company has no securities classified as Level 1.
If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. The inputs used by the pricing service to determine fair value may include one, or a combination of, observable inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads,two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data market research publications and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. These Level 2 securities include brokered certificates of deposit, federal agencies and U.S. treasuries, state and municipal securities and mortgage-backed GSE residential securities. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. The Company has no securities classified as Level 3.

The Company has no liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans, Net of ALL
The estimated fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is based on the appraised fair value of the collateral, less estimated cost to sell. Collateral-dependent impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company considers the appraisal or evaluation as the starting point for determining fair value and then considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value. Appraisals of the collateral underlying collateral-dependent loans are obtained when the loan is determined to be collateral-dependent and subsequently as deemed necessary by members of management. Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by members of management. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management. The appraised values are reduced by discounts to consider lack of marketability and estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of the loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral. These discounts and estimates are developed by members of management by comparison to historical results.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at amounts other than fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Loans Held for Sale
Fair value of loans held for sale are based on quoted market prices, where available, or are determined by discounting estimated cash flows using interest rates approximating the Company’s current origination rates for similar loans and adjusted to reflect the inherent credit risk.
F-111
Indebancorp
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2012 and 2011
(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands)
Loans
Fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the market rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.
Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Interest Receivable
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Deposits
Fair value of term deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates of similar deposits with similar maturities. The market rates used were obtained from a knowledgeable independent third party and reviewed by the Company. The rates were the average of current rates offered by local competitors of the bank subsidiary.
The estimated fair value of demand, savings and money market deposits is the book value since rates are regularly adjusted to market rates and amounts are payable on demand at the reporting date.
FHLB Advances
Fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates of similar advances with similar maturities. These rates were obtained from current rates offered by FHLB.
Interest Payable
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Commitments to Originate Loans, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit
The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. Fair values of commitments were not material at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Note 16: Significant Estimates and Concentrations
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require disclosure of certain significant estimates and current vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations. Estimates related to the allowance for loan losses are reflected in the footnote regarding loans. Current vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations of credit risk are discussed in the footnote on commitments and credit risk. Other significant estimates and concentrations not discussed in those footnotes include:
Investments
The Company invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such change could materially affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Current Economic Conditions
The current protracted economic decline continues to present financial institutions with circumstances and challenges, which in some cases have resulted in large and unanticipated declines in the fair values of investments and other assets, constraints on liquidity and capital and significant credit quality problems, including severe volatility in the valuation of real estate and other collateral supporting loans.
At December 31, 2012, the Company held approximately $44,063,000 innon-owner occupied commercial real estate loans and $3,163,000 in construction and development loans which are collateralized by real estate. Due to national, state and local economic conditions, values for commercial and development real estate have declined, and the market for these properties is depressed.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using values and information currently available to the Company.
Given the volatility of current economic conditions, the values of assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated financial statements could change rapidly, resulting in material future adjustments in asset values, the allowance for loan losses and capital that could negatively impact the Company’s ability to meet regulatory capital requirements and maintain sufficient liquidity.
Furthermore, the Company’s regulators could require material adjustments to asset values or the allowance for loan losses for regulatory purposes that could affect the Company’s measurement of regulatory capital and compliance with the capital adequacy guidelines under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

The holders of Indebancorp Common Shares who have elected to have their shares converted pursuant to the Mixed Election shall not be required to have more than thirty percent (30%) of their Indebancorp Shares converted into cash. After giving effect to Section 3.01(b)(iv) and subject to Section 3.01(k) below, such addition will be effected as follows:
(i) CBI will eliminate or cause to be eliminated by the Exchange Agent from the shares deposited for CBI Common Shares pursuant to the All Stock Election, and will add or cause to be added to the shares deposited for cash pursuant to the All Cash Election, on a pro rata basis in relation to the total number of Indebancorp Shares deposited for CBI Common Shares pursuant to the All Stock Election, such whole number of Indebancorp Common Shares as may be necessary so that the resulting number of shares on deposit for cash, plus the total number of Dissenting Shares, is equal, as nearly as practicable, to thirty percent (30%) of the Indebancorp Common Shares;
(ii) All Indebancorp Common Shares that are added pursuant to Section 3.01(i) to the shares deposited for cash shall be converted into cash as provided by Section 3.01(b)(ii); and
(iii) Notice of such allocation shall be provided promptly to each shareholder whose Indebancorp Common Shares are added to the shares on deposit for cash pursuant to Section 3.01(i)(i).
(j)Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, no fractional CBI Common Shares and no certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be issued in the Parent Merger. Each holder of Indebancorp Common Shares who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional CBI Common Share shall receive an amount equal to the product of (i) the fractional CBI Common Share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account all Indebancorp Common Shares held at the Effective Time by such holder), multiplied by (ii) the Average CBI Price.
(k)Waiver of Oversubscription. In the event that the elections made by Indebancorp shareholders pursuant to this Section 3.01 would result in a Cash Oversubscription as described in Section 3.01(h) or a Stock Oversubscription as described in Section 3.01(i), CBI may, at its sole option, elect to waive such Cash Oversubscription or Stock Oversubscription, in which case (i) no reduction or increase in the shares deposited for cash shall be made pursuant to Section 3.01(h) or Section 3.01(i) and (ii) the overall mix of Merger Consideration set forth in Section 3.01(a) shall be adjusted accordingly to reflect the waiver of the Stock Oversubscription or Cash Oversubscription, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CBI will not waive the Cash Oversubscription pursuant to this Section 3.01(k) to the extent that the waiver of such Cash Oversubscription would prevent the tax opinions referred to in Section 7.01(f) from being rendered or would require an increase in the Share Exchange Ratio pursuant to 3.07(b) in order for such tax opinions to be rendered.
3.02 Rights as Shareholders; Share Transfers. At the Effective Time, holders of Indebancorp Common Shares shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of Indebancorp, other than (a) to receive any
A-11
dividend or other distribution with respect to such Indebancorp Common Shares with a record date occurring prior to the Effective Time, (b) to receive the consideration provided under this Article III and (c) appraisal rights in the case of Dissenting Shares. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Indebancorp or the Surviving Corporation of any Indebancorp Common Shares.
3.03 Exchange Procedures.
(a)Exchange Fund. At or prior to the Effective Time, CBI shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with Registrar and Transfer Company (in such capacity, the “Exchange Agent”),for the benefit of the holders of certificates formerly representing Indebancorp Common Shares (“Old Certificates”),for exchange in accordance with this Article III, certificates representing CBI Common Shares (“New Certificates”) and an estimated amount of cash (such cash and New Certificates, together with any dividends or distributions with a record date occurring on or after the Effective Time with respect thereto (without any interest on any such cash, dividends or distributions), being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”) to be paid pursuant to this Article III in exchange for outstanding Indebancorp Common Shares.
(b)Transmittal Materials. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, CBI shall send or cause to be sent to each holder of record of an Old Certificate which was not deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 3.01(f) transmittal materials for use in exchanging such shareholder’s Old Certificates for the consideration set forth in this Article III. CBI shall cause the New Certificates into which shares of a shareholder’s Indebancorp Common Shares are converted at the Effective Time and/or any check in respect of cash to be paid as part of the Merger Consideration and in respect of any fractional share interests or dividends or distributions which such person shall be entitled to receive to be delivered to such shareholder upon delivery to the Exchange Agent of Old Certificates representing such Indebancorp Common Shares owned by such shareholder. No interest will be paid on any such cash to be paid in exchange for Indebancorp Common Shares or in respect of dividends or distributions which any such person shall be entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III upon such delivery.
(c)Lost Certificates. If there shall be delivered to the Exchange Agent by any person who is unable to produce any Old Certificate for surrender to the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Article III:
(i) Evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Old Certificate has been lost, wrongfully taken, or destroyed;
(ii) A bond in such amount as the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent may reasonably request as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation and/or the Exchange Agent with respect to such Old Certificate; and
(iii) Evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such person was the owner of the Indebancorp Common Shares represented by each such Old Certificate claimed by him or her to be lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed and that he or she is the person who would be entitled to present such Old Certificate for exchange pursuant to this Agreement;
then the Exchange Agent, in the absence of actual notice to it that any Indebancorp Common Shares represented by any Old Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall deliver to such person the cash and/or CBI Common Shares (and cash in lieu of fractional CBI Common Share interests, if any) that such person would have been entitled to receive upon surrender of each such lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed Old Certificate.
(d)Dividends and Distributions. No dividends or other distributions with respect to CBI Common Shares with a record date occurring after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate representing Indebancorp Common Shares converted in the Parent Merger into the right to receive shares of such CBI Common Shares until the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive New Certificates in exchange therefor in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.03(d). After becoming so entitled
A-12
in accordance with this Section 3.03(d), the record holder thereof also shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable after the Effective Time with respect to shares of CBI Common Shares such holder had the right to receive upon surrender of the Old Certificates.
(e)Release of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Indebancorp for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be paid to CBI. Any shareholders of Indebancorp who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to CBI for payment of the Merger Consideration or cash in lieu of fractional shares without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor CBI shall be liable to any former holder of Indebancorp Common Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.
3.04 [Reserved].
3.05 Anti-Dilution Provisions and Other Adjustments. In the event CBI changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of CBI Common Shares issued and outstanding between the date hereof and the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, split up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding CBI Common Shares, the Share Exchange Ratio shall be proportionately adjusted.
3.06 Dissenting Shares. Anything contained in this Agreement or elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, any holder of an outstanding Indebancorp Common Share that seeks relief as a dissenting shareholder under Section 1701.85 of the OGCL shall thereafter have only such rights (and shall have such obligations) as are provided in Section 1701.85 of the OGCL, and the Surviving Corporation shall be required to deliver only such cash payments to which the Dissenting Shares are entitled pursuant to Section 1701.85 of the OGCL. If any holder of Dissenting Shares shall forfeit such right to payment of the fair value under Section 1701.85 of the OGCL, each holder’s Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, in the form of CBI Common Shares or cash, as determined by the Surviving Corporation.
3.07 Tax Consequences.
(a) For federal income tax purposes, the Parent Merger is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The parties hereto hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Department regulation section 1.368-2(g).
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if either tax opinion referred to in Section 7.01(f) cannot be rendered (as reasonably determined, in each case, by the counsel charged with giving such opinion) as a result of the Parent Merger potentially failing to satisfy the “continuity of interest” requirements under applicable federal income tax principles relating to reorganizations under Section 368(a) of the Code, then CBI may, at its sole option, increase the Share Exchange Ratio to the minimum extent necessary to enable the relevant tax opinions to be rendered.

(a)General. It is understood and agreed that nothing in this Section 6.10 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract of employment or be construed to give employees of Indebancorp and its Subsidiary any rights other than as employees at will under applicable law, and such employees shall not be deemed to be third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement. Employees of Indebancorp and/or its Subsidiary who become employees of CBI and/or its Subsidiaries as a result of the Merger (the “Continuing Employees”) shall, as determined by CBI, participate in either (i) Indebancorp’s Compensation and Benefit Plans (for so long as CBI determines necessary or appropriate) or (ii) the employee benefit plans sponsored by CBI for employees of CBI and its Subsidiaries, in which case such Continuing Employees will receive credit for their years of service with Indebancorp and its Subsidiary for participation and vesting purposes under CBI’s applicable plans, including credit for years of service and for seniority under vacation and sick pay plans and programs;provided,however, that as of the Effective Date the Continuing Employees shall not be subject to a reduction in the amount of paid vacation time off, except that no Continuing Employee shall be entitled to receive in excess of four (4) weeks per year of paid vacation time off following the Merger (such that any Continuing Employee who is entitled to receive in excess of four (4) weeks per year of paid vacation time off under Indebancorp’s vacation plan shall be entitled to receive four (4) weeks per year of vacation time off under CBI’s vacation plan). In addition, to the extent employees of Indebancorp or its Subsidiary participate in CBI’s group health plan (instead of continued participation in Indebancorp’s group health plan), CBI agrees to waive all restrictions and limitations forpre-existing conditions under CBI’s group health plan. In the event that, within 180 days after the Effective Date, an employee of Indebancorp or its Subsidiary (other than an employee who has a written agreement with Indebancorp or its Subsidiary which provides for severance benefits) is terminated by CBI, other than for cause (as determined by CBI), then such terminated employee of Indebancorp or its Subsidiary shall be entitled to receive from CBI (a minimum of four (4) weeks, and up to a maximum oftwenty-six (26) weeks, of severance pay based upon a formula of two (2) weeks’ base pay for each year of service.

Prior to the Effective Date, but after the receipt of the last to be obtained of the Indebancorp Shareholder Adoption and the regulatory approvals required by Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement, the Indebancorp Board shall adopt a resolution approving the termination of Indebancorp’s 401(k) plan (the “Indebancorp 401(k) Plan”) effective as of a date immediately preceding the Effective Date, contingent upon the completion of the Parent Merger. Following the adoption of such resolution, Indebancorp shall (i) amend the Indebancorp 401(k) Plan to comply with all applicable laws and to carry out the intention of this Section 6.10(b), and (ii) begin the process of requesting from the IRS a determination that the Indebancorp 401(k) Plan remains qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code as of its termination (the “Determination Letter”). Following the receipt of the Determination Letter, but no earlier than the Effective Date, Indebancorp or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall distribute benefits under the Indebancorp 401(k) Plan to plan participants. CBI agrees to take all steps necessary or appropriate to accept roll-overs of benefits from the Indebancorp 401(k) Plan to the CBI 401(k) plan for Continuing Employees.
(c)Indebancorp ESOP. Subject to the Code and applicable regulations, following the date of this Agreement, but after the receipt of the last to be obtained of the Indebancorp Shareholder Adoption and the regulatory approvals required by Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement, CBI and Indebancorp will (i) contingent
A-37
upon the completion of the Parent Merger contemplated by this Agreement, terminate the Indebancorp Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Indebancorp ESOP”) and amend the Indebancorp ESOP to incorporate any additional provisions that are appropriate to facilitate termination and liquidation of the Indebancorp ESOP and that are required by then-effective law and (ii) submit an application to the IRS requesting a determination letter to the effect that the Indebancorp ESOP, as initially established and as subsequently amended to comply with laws enacted after the Indebancorp ESOP was established, complies with Section 401(a) of the Code and that termination and liquidation of the Indebancorp ESOP in accordance with its terms and the terms of this Agreement will not adversely affect the Indebancorp ESOP’s status under Section 401(a) of the Code. From and after the date of this Agreement, Indebancorp shall make no further contributions to the Indebancorp ESOP.
All Indebancorp Common Shares held by the trustee of the Indebancorp ESOP at the Effective Time shall be exchanged in accordance with the Election Form submitted by the Indebancorp ESOP trustee, subject to the allocation provisions of Section 3.01 of this Agreement.
After the Effective Time and while the determination letter application described above is pending, the current administrator of the Indebancorp ESOP, or another administrator selected by CBI (subject to consultation with the then-current trustee), shall continue to administer the Indebancorp ESOP, and the current trustee of the Indebancorp ESOP, or such other trustee(s) selected by CBI, shall continue to be the trustee of the Indebancorp ESOP subsequent to the Effective Time.
CBI and Indebancorp agree that the Indebancorp ESOP shall be amended to the extent necessary to facilitate termination and liquidation of the Indebancorp ESOP and to receive a favorable determination letter from the IRS as to the tax qualified status of the Indebancorp ESOP upon its termination under Section 401(a) of the Code (the “Final Determination Letter”). Following the receipt of the Final Determination Letter, but no earlier than the Effective Date, distributions of the account balances under the Indebancorp ESOP shall be made to the Indebancorp ESOP participants, as defined in the Indebancorp ESOP (the “ESOP Participants”), as soon as administratively feasible. From and after the date of this Agreement, in anticipation of such termination and distribution, Indebancorp prior to the Effective Time, and CBI after the Effective Time, shall use their best efforts to obtain the Final Determination Letter. In the event that Indebancorp prior to the Effective Time, or CBI after the Effective Time, reasonably determines that the Indebancorp ESOP cannot obtain a favorable Final Determination Letter, or that the amounts held therein cannot be applied, allocated or distributed without causing the Indebancorp ESOP to lose its tax qualified status, Indebancorp or CBI, as applicable, shall take such action as it may reasonably determine is necessary to preserve, to the extent possible, the tax status of the Indebancorp ESOP and its trust, the tax characterization of distributions to ESOP Participants and the liquidation of the Indebancorp ESOP trust. All ESOP Participants shall fully vest and have a nonforfeitable interest in their accounts under the Indebancorp ESOP determined as of the termination date.
(d)Express Assumption of Certain Benefit Agreements. CBI shall take such actions as Indebancorp shall reasonably request in order for CBI to effectively assume and discharge, in each case according to the terms thereof, all of Indebancorp’s obligations under Indebancorp’s Previously Disclosed director retirement agreements (including the contemplated amendments thereto as Previously Disclosed), director split dollar plan, executive salary continuation plan and executive split dollar plan.

ANNEX B
Dissenters’ Rights Under Section 1701.85 of the Ohio Revised Code
Section 1701.85. Dissenting shareholder’s demand for fair cash value of shares.
(A)(1) A shareholder of a domestic corporation is entitled to relief as a dissenting shareholder in respect of the proposals described in sections 1701.74, 1701.76, and 1701.84 of the Revised Code, only in compliance with this section.
(2) If the proposal must be submitted to the shareholders of the corporation involved, the dissenting shareholder shall be a record holder of the shares of the corporation as to which the dissenting shareholder seeks relief as of the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of a meeting of the shareholders at which the proposal is to be submitted, and such shares shall not have been voted in favor of the proposal.
(3) Not later than twenty days before the date of the meeting at which the proposal will be submitted to the shareholders, the corporation may notify the corporation's shareholders that relief under this section is available. The notice shall include or be accompanied by all of the following:
(a) A copy of this section;
(b) A statement that the proposal can give rise to rights under this section if the proposal is approved by the required vote of the shareholders;
(c) A statement that the shareholder will be eligible as a dissenting shareholder under this section only if the shareholder delivers to the corporation a written demand with the information provided for in division (A)(4) of this section before the vote on the proposal will be taken at the meeting of the shareholders and the shareholder does not vote in favor of the proposal.
(4) If the corporation delivers notice to its shareholders as provided in division (A)(3) of this section, a shareholder electing to be eligible as a dissenting shareholder under this section shall deliver to the corporation before the vote on the proposal is taken a written demand for payment of the fair cash value of the shares as to which the shareholder seeks relief. The demand for payment shall include the shareholder's address, the number and class of such shares, and the amount claimed by the shareholder as the fair cash value of the shares.
(5) If the corporation does not notify the corporation's shareholders pursuant to division (A)(3) of this section, not later than ten days after the date on which the vote on the proposal was taken at the meeting of the shareholders, the dissenting shareholder shall deliver to the corporation a written demand for payment to the dissenting shareholder of the fair cash value of the shares as to which the dissenting shareholder seeks relief, which demand shall state the dissenting shareholder's address, the number and class of such shares, and the amount claimed by the dissenting shareholder as the fair cash value of the shares.
(6) If a signatory, designated and approved by the dissenting shareholder, executes the demand, then at any time after receiving the demand, the corporation may make a written request that the dissenting shareholder provide evidence of the signatory's authority. The shareholder shall provide the evidence within a reasonable time but not sooner than twenty days after the dissenting shareholder has received the corporation's written request for evidence.
(7) The dissenting shareholder entitled to relief under division (A)(3) of section 1701.84 of the Revised Code in the case of a merger pursuant to section 1701.80 of the Revised Code and a dissenting shareholder entitled to relief under division (A)(5) of section 1701.84 of the Revised Code in the case of a merger pursuant to section 1701.801 of the Revised Code shall be a record holder of the shares of the corporation as to which the dissenting shareholder seeks relief as of the date on which the agreement of merger was adopted by the directors of that corporation. Within twenty days after the dissenting shareholder has been sent the notice provided in section 1701.80 or 1701.801 of the Revised Code, the dissenting shareholder shall deliver to the corporation a written demand for payment with the same information as that provided for in division (A) (4) of this section.
B-1
(8) In the case of a merger or consolidation, a demand served on the constituent corporation involved constitutes service on the surviving or the new entity, whether the demand is served before, on, or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation. In the case of a conversion, a demand served on the converting corporation constitutes service on the converted entity, whether the demand is served before, on, or after the effective date of the conversion.
(9) If the corporation sends to the dissenting shareholder, at the address specified in the dissenting shareholder's demand, a request for the certificates representing the shares as to which the dissenting shareholder seeks relief, the dissenting shareholder, within fifteen days from the date of the sending of such request, shall deliver to the corporation the certificates requested so that the corporation may endorse on them a legend to the effect that demand for the fair cash value of such shares has been made. The corporation promptly shall return the endorsed certificates to the dissenting shareholder. A dissenting shareholder's failure to deliver the certificates terminates the dissenting shareholder's rights as a dissenting shareholder, at the option of the corporation, exercised by written notice sent to the dissenting shareholder within twenty days after the lapse of thefifteen-day period, unless a court for good cause shown otherwise directs. If shares represented by a certificate on which such a legend has been endorsed are transferred, each new certificate issued for them shall bear a similar legend, together with the name of the original dissenting holder of the shares. Upon receiving a demand for payment from a dissenting shareholder who is the record holder of uncertificated securities, the corporation shall make an appropriate notation of the demand for payment in its shareholder records. If uncertificated shares for which payment has been demanded are to be transferred, any new certificate issued for the shares shall bear the legend required for certificated securities as provided in this paragraph. A transferee of the shares so endorsed, or of uncertificated securities where such notation has been made, acquires only the rights in the corporation as the original dissenting holder of such shares had immediately after the service of a demand for payment of the fair cash value of the shares. A request under this paragraph by the corporation is not an admission by the corporation that the shareholder is entitled to relief under this section.
(B) Unless the corporation and the dissenting shareholder have come to an agreement on the fair cash value per share of the shares as to which the dissenting shareholder seeks relief, the dissenting shareholder or the corporation, which in case of a merger or consolidation may be the surviving or new entity, or in the case of a conversion may be the converted entity, within three months after the service of the demand by the dissenting shareholder, may file a complaint in the court of common pleas of the county in which the principal office of the corporation that issued the shares is located or was located when the proposal was adopted by the shareholders of the corporation, or, if the proposal was not required to be submitted to the shareholders, was approved by the directors. Other dissenting shareholders, within that three-month period, may join as plaintiffs or may be joined as defendants in any such proceeding, and any two or more such proceedings may be consolidated. The complaint shall contain a brief statement of the facts, including the vote and the facts entitling the dissenting shareholder to the relief demanded. No answer to a complaint is required. Upon the filing of a complaint, the court, on motion of the petitioner, shall enter an order fixing a date for a hearing on the complaint and requiring that a copy of the complaint and a notice of the filing and of the date for hearing be given to the respondent or defendant in the manner in which summons is required to be served or substituted service is required to be made in other cases. On the day fixed for the hearing on the complaint or any adjournment of it, the court shall determine from the complaint and from evidence submitted by either party whether the dissenting shareholder is entitled to be paid the fair cash value of any shares and, if so, the number and class of such shares. If the court finds that the dissenting shareholder is so entitled, the court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and to recommend a decision on the amount of the fair cash value. The appraisers have power and authority specified in the order of their appointment. The court thereupon shall make a finding as to the fair cash value of a share and shall render judgment against the corporation for the payment of it, with interest at a rate and from a date as the court considers equitable. The costs of the proceeding, including reasonable compensation to the appraisers to be fixed by the court, shall be assessed or apportioned as the court considers equitable. The proceeding is a special proceeding and final orders in it may be vacated, modified, or reversed on appeal pursuant to the Rules of Appellate Procedure and, to the extent not in conflict with those rules, Chapter 2505. of the Revised Code. If, during the pendency of any proceeding instituted under this section, a suit or
B-2
proceeding is or has been instituted to enjoin or otherwise to prevent the carrying out of the action as to which the shareholder has dissented, the proceeding instituted under this section shall be stayed until the final determination of the other suit or proceeding. Unless any provision in division (D) of this section is applicable, the fair cash value of the shares that is agreed upon by the parties or fixed under this section shall be paid within thirty days after the date of final determination of such value under this division, the effective date of the amendment to the articles, or the consummation of the other action involved, whichever occurs last. Upon the occurrence of the last such event, payment shall be made immediately to a holder of uncertificated securities entitled to payment. In the case of holders of shares represented by certificates, payment shall be made only upon and simultaneously with the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing the shares for which the payment is made.
(C)(1) If the proposal was required to be submitted to the shareholders of the corporation, fair cash value as to those shareholders shall be determined as of the day prior to the day on which the vote by the shareholders was taken and, in the case of a merger pursuant to section 1701.80 or 1701.801 of the Revised Code, fair cash value as to shareholders of a constituent subsidiary corporation shall be determined as of the day before the adoption of the agreement of merger by the directors of the particular subsidiary corporation. The fair cash value of a share for the purposes of this section is the amount that a willing seller who is under no compulsion to sell would be willing to accept and that a willing buyer who is under no compulsion to purchase would be willing to pay, but in no event shall the fair cash value of a share exceed the amount specified in the demand of the particular shareholder. In computing fair cash value, both of the following shall be excluded:
(a) Any appreciation or depreciation in market value resulting from the proposal submitted to the directors or to the shareholders ;
(b) Any premium associated with control of the corporation, or any discount for lack of marketability or minority status.
(2) For the purposes of this section, the fair cash value of a share that was listed on a national securities exchange at any of the following times shall be the closing sale price on the national securities exchange as of the applicable date provided in division (C)(1) of this section:
(a) Immediately before the effective time of a merger or consolidation;
(b) Immediately before the filing of an amendment to the articles of incorporation as described in division (A) of section 1701.74 of the Revised Code;
(c) Immediately before the time of the vote described in division (A)(1)(b) of section 1701.76 of the Revised Code.
(D)(1) The right and obligation of a dissenting shareholder to receive fair cash value and to sell such shares as to which the dissenting shareholder seeks relief, and the right and obligation of the corporation to purchase such shares and to pay the fair cash value of them terminates if any of the following applies:
(a) The dissenting shareholder has not complied with this section, unless the corporation by its directors waives such failure;
(b) The corporation abandons the action involved or is finally enjoined or prevented from carrying it out, or the shareholders rescind their adoption of the action involved;
(c) The dissenting shareholder withdraws the dissenting shareholder's demand, with the consent of the corporation by its directors;
(d) The corporation and the dissenting shareholder have not come to an agreement as to the fair cash value per share, and neither the shareholder nor the corporation has filed or joined in a complaint under division (B) of this section within the period provided in that division.
B-3
(2) For purposes of division (D)(1) of this section, if the merger, consolidation, or conversion has become effective and the surviving, new, or converted entity is not a corporation, action required to be taken by the directors of the corporation shall be taken by the partners of a surviving, new, or converted partnership or the comparable representatives of any other surviving, new, or converted entity.
(E) From the time of the dissenting shareholder's giving of the demand until either the termination of the rights and obligations arising from it or the purchase of the shares by the corporation, all other rights accruing from such shares, including voting and dividend or distribution rights, are suspended. If during the suspension, any dividend or distribution is paid in money upon shares of such class or any dividend, distribution, or interest is paid in money upon any securities issued in extinguishment of or in substitution for such shares, an amount equal to the dividend, distribution, or interest which, except for the suspension, would have been payable upon such shares or securities, shall be paid to the holder of record as a credit upon the fair cash value of the shares. If the right to receive fair cash value is terminated other than by the purchase of the shares by the corporation, all rights of the holder shall be restored and all distributions which, except for the suspension, would have been made shall be made to the holder of record of the shares at the time of termination.

Members of the Board:
You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Indebancorp and its shareholders, of the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 20, 2013 (the "Agreement") by and between Croghan Bancshares, Inc. (“Croghan”) and Indebancorp. The Agreement provides for merger of Indebancorp with and into Croghan, with Croghan surviving (the “Merger”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement.
The financial terms of the Agreement provide for the exchange of 1.630 shares of Croghan or $55.00 per share in cash for each share of Indebancorp (the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Consideration is subject to an election process by Indebancorp shareholders. The percentage of shares of Indebancorp receiving stock will be equal to 70% with the balance of shares receiving cash. The closing of the Merger is conditioned upon Croghan’s closing bid price being greater than $26.00 per share on the day prior to the Effective Date. A condition to Croghan’s closing is that Indebancorp’s closing total shareholders’ equity be at least $21.7 million, excluding the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income account.
Austin Associates, LLC (“Austin”) as part of its investment banking practice is customarily engaged in advising and valuing financial institutions in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions.

We also discussed with certain members of senior management of Indebancorp the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Indebancorp, including certain operating, regulatory and other financial matters. We held similar discussions with senior management of Croghan regarding the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of Croghan.
We have also assumed that there has been no material change in Indebancorp’s and Croghan’s assets, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements made available to us. We have assumed in all respects material to our analysis that Indebancorp and Croghan will remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to our analyses, that all of the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct, that each party to the Agreement will perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such party under the Agreement, and that the conditions precedent in the Agreement are not waived. Finally, we have relied upon the advice Indebancorp has received from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal, accounting and tax matters relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement.
In our review and analysis, we relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of the information provided to us or publicly available, and have not attempted to verify the same. As part of the due diligence process we made no independent verification as to the status and value of Indebancorp’s or Croghan’s assets, including the value of the loan portfolio and allowance for loan and lease losses, and have instead relied upon representations and information concerning the value of assets and the adequacy of reserves of both companies in the aggregate. In addition, we have assumed in the course of obtaining the necessary approvals for the transaction, no condition will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the contemplated benefits of the transaction to Indebancorp and its shareholders.
This opinion is based on economic and market conditions and other circumstances existing on, and information made available as of, the date hereof. This opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Indebancorp and its shareholders of the terms of the Agreement, and does not address the underlying business decision by the Board of Directors to pursue the Merger.
Indebancorp jointly engaged Austin and Investment Bank Services (“IBS”) a registered broker dealer to act as financial advisors in the transaction. Principals of Austin’s investment banking team that assisted Indebancorp are also registered representatives of IBS. As part of the engagement IBS will receive contingent fees upon closing of the transaction, a portion of which will be paid upon the execution of the Agreement. The registered representatives of IBS who are also Principals of Austin Associates will be compensated from the fees received by IBS from the transaction. As part of the engagement, Austin and IBS reserve the right to review any public disclosures describing this fairness opinion or their respective firms. In addition, Indebancorp agreed to indemnify Austin and IBS against certain liabilities.
Based upon our analysis and subject to the qualifications described herein, we believe that as of the date of this letter, the terms of the Agreement are fair, from a financial point of view, to Indebancorp and its shareholders.
Respectfully,

Members of the Board of Directors:
Croghan Bancshares, Inc. (“CHBH”) and Indebancorp (“Indebancorp”) have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 20, 2013 (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Indebancorp will be merged with CHBH in a transaction (the “Merger”) in which each outstanding share of Indebancorp’s common stock, no par value, (the “Indebancorp Shares”), shall be cancelled, shall cease to exist and shall no longer be outstanding and shall be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder, a) cash in the amount of $55.00 per share, b) 1.630 shares of CHBH common stock (the “CHBH Shares”) or c) a combination of the CHBH Shares and cash (the “Consideration”), subject to allocation procedures which will ensure that, in the aggregate, 70% of the total consideration paid by CHBH will consist of CHBH stock, payable in each case upon surrender of the certificate that formerly evidenced such Indebancorp Shares.
You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to CHBH.

| 6. | Compared certain financial metrics of Indebancorp and CHBH to other selected banks and thrifts that we deemed to be relevant; |
| 7. | Analyzed the terms of the Merger relative to selected prior mergers and acquisitions involving a depository institution as the selling entity; |
| 8. | Analyzed the Consideration offered relative to Indebancorp’s book value and tangible book value as of March 31, 2013; |
| 9. | Analyzed the projected pro forma impact of the Merger on certain projected balance sheet and capital ratios of CHBH; |
| 10. | Analyzed the Consideration offered relative to Indebancorp’s last twelve months net income as well as estimated net income for the projected fiscal years ending December 31, 2013 and 2014; |
| 11. | Reviewed the overall environment for depository institutions in the United States; and |
| 12. | Conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations and took into account such other matters as we deemed appropriate for purposes of this opinion, including our assessment of general economic, market and monetary conditions. |

In preparing our opinion, we assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the information provided to us by Indebancorp, CHBH and their affiliates for the purposes of this opinion. In addition, where appropriate, we relied upon publicly available information, without independent verification, that we believe to be reliable, accurate, and complete; however, we cannot guarantee the reliability, accuracy, or completeness of any such publicly available information. We were not engaged to express, and are not expressing, any opinion with respect to any other transactions or alternative proposed transactions, if any, between Indebancorp and CHBH. With respect to the financial forecasts supplied to us, we have assumed with your consent that they were reasonably prepared and reflect the best currently available estimates and judgments of Indebancorp as to future operating and financial performance of Indebancorp and its affiliates. In addition, we have assumed that the Agreement is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement upon the parties and their affiliates and will not be terminated or breached by either party. We have also assumed that there have been no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of Indebancorp, CHBH and their affiliates since either (i) the date of the last financial statements made available to us and (ii) the date of the Agreement, and that no legal, political, economic, regulatory or other developments have occurred or will occur that will adversely affect these entities. We did not make an independent evaluation of the assets or liabilities of Indebancorp, CHBH or their affiliates, including, but not limited to, any derivative oroff-balance sheet assets or liabilities. We have relied upon and assumed, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by us. We have assumed that all required governmental, regulatory, shareholder and third party approvals have or will be received in a timely fashion and without any conditions or requirements that could adversely affect the Merger.
Our opinion is necessarily based on economic, market, and other conditions as existed on, and could be evaluated as of, and on the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events and developments occurring after the date hereof could materially affect the assumptions used in preparing this opinion and we do not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion.
Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc. (“Sterne Agee”) is acting as financial advisor to CHBH in connection with the Merger and will receive fees from CHBH for our services, a significant portion of which are contingent upon the consummation of the Merger. Sterne Agee also will receive a fee in connection with the delivery of this opinion. In addition, CHBH has agreed to reimburse our expenses and to indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. Other than our engagement by CHBH in connection with the Merger, we have not provided investment banking services to Indebancorp, CHBH or their affiliates over the past two years; however, we may do so in the future. In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may, from time to time, purchase securities from and sell securities to Indebancorp, CHBH or their affiliates.
This opinion is for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors of CHBH. Our opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view to CHBH of the Consideration and does not address the underlying business decision of CHBH, or a recommendation whether or not, to engage in the Merger, or the relative merits of the Merger relative to any strategic alternative that may be available to CHBH. In rendering this opinion, we express no view or opinion with respect to the fairness (financial or otherwise) of the amount or nature or any other aspect of any compensation payable to or to be received by any officers, directors, or employees of any of the parties to the Merger relative to the aggregate Consideration. The issuance of this opinion has been approved by the Fairness Opinion Committee of Sterne Agee.
Based on the foregoing and such other matters we have deemed relevant, it is our opinion, as of the date hereof, that the Consideration is fair from a financial point of view to CHBH.
Very truly yours,
/s/ STERNE, AGEE & LEACH, INC.
