OTHER EVENTS ------------------------ On August 30, 1996, Homeland Bankshares Corporation ("Homeland") and Magna Group, Inc. ("Magna") entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement"), which provides, among other things, for the merger ("Merger") of Homeland with and into a newly-formed wholly- owned subsidiary of Magna. Under the terms of the Agreement and subject to certain adjustments as provided therein, Magna will issue 5,038,934 shares of Magna $2.00 par value common stock and $91,966,970 in cash in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Homeland's $12.50 par value common stock. Each share of Homeland's common stock may be exchanged for approximately 1.55 shares of Magna common stock or a comparable amount in cash. Homeland stockholders may elect to receive all Magna common stock, all cash, or a mixture of stock and cash, subject to certain limitations. The transaction has a current aggregate market value of approximately $216 million. Also, on August 30, 1996, as a condition to Magna entering into the Merger Agreement, Homeland entered into a Stock Option Agreement (the "Stock Option Agreement") pursuant to which Magna was granted an option to purchase, under certain circumstances, 1,134,972 shares of Homeland common stock (19.9% of the number of such shares then outstanding), at an exercise price of $34.00 per share. Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including: (i) approval of Homeland's shareholders; (ii) receipt of approvals of the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Iowa Division of Banking, and any other applicable regulatory authority; (iii) registration of the shares of Magna common stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all applicable state securities laws; (iv) receipt of opinions of counsel that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and (v) satisfaction of certain other closing conditions. The transaction is expected to be consummated in the first quarter of 1997.
