(NBI) of Blacksburg, Virginia, parent company of The National Bank of Blacksburg, consummated a transaction with the Bank of Tazewell County (BTC) of Tazewell, Virginia, in which NBI Interim Bank (a bank organized for the sole purpose of the transaction and a wholly owned subsidiary of NBI) was merged into BTC and BTC as the surviving entity became a wholly owned subsidiary of NBI. BTC is a Virginia state bank headquartered in Tazewell, Virginia with seven offices. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August 28, 1995, between NBI and BTC (Plan), each share of the 1,888,209 shares of the common stock ($1.10 par value) of BTC outstanding immediately prior to the merger was converted into the right to receive one share of the common stock ($2.50 par value) of NBI (NBI Common Stock). The merger met the requirements for a tax-free transaction under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and will be accounted for as a pooling-of-interest. As provided in the Plan, NBI effected a stock split in the form of a stock dividend aggregating 190,768 shares of NBI Common Stock for stockholders of record at the closing of business on May 30, 1996, payable on June 14, 1996.
