BUSINESS COMBINATION
On November 14, 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common and preferred shares of
Santa Clara Valley Bank (SCVB) in exchange for $15,300,000. Under the terms of the acquisition, SCVB
common shareholders received $12,300,000 or $6.00 per share and SCVB preferred shareholders received
$3,000,000 to retire outstanding preferred stock and associated warrants. Included in the $12,300,000 was
$700,000 which the Company paid to cash out existing in-the-money warrants. SCVB results of
operations were included in the Company’s results beginning November 14, 2014. Acquisition related
costs of $2,070,000 are included in other operating expense in the Company’s income statement for the
year ended December 31, 2014.
In accordance with GAAP, the Company recorded $1,364,000 of goodwill and $1,075,000 of core deposit
intangibles. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred (cash) at the acquisition date
over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. The core deposit intangible is being amortized
using a straight line basis over eight years. For tax purposes goodwill and core deposit intangibles are
both non-deductible.
The acquisition offers the Company an opportunity to expand its market presence further south into the
Santa Clara Valley. Synergies and cost savings resulting from the combined operations along with the
introduction of the Company’s existing products and services into the new region are expected to provide
growth opportunities and increase profitability.
