ACQUISITION

Acquisition of Trinity Capital Corporation.

On March 8, 2019, the Company closed its acquisition of 100% of Trinity Capital Corporation (“Trinity”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Los Alamos National Bank (“LANB”). Trinity operated six full-service retail and commercial banking offices in Los Alamos, Santa Fe, and Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Trinity shareholders received cash consideration of $1.84 per share of Trinity common stock and 0.1972 shares of EFSC common stock per share of Trinity common stock with cash in lieu of fractional shares. Aggregate consideration at closing was 4.0 million shares of EFSC common stock and $37.3 million cash paid to Trinity shareholders. Based on EFSC’s closing stock price of $43.07 on March 7, 2019, the overall transaction had a value of $209.2 million. The Company recognized $17.6 million and $1.3 million of merger related costs recorded in noninterest expense in the statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively.

The acquisition of Trinity has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The estimates of fair value are preliminary and subject to refinement as the Company completes its evaluation of the acquired assets and liabilities. Goodwill of $93.9 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of Trinity into Enterprise. The goodwill is assigned as part of the Company’s Banking reporting unit. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table presents the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Trinity as of March 8, 2019. The following information is presented on a provisional basis based upon all information available to the Company at the present time and is subject to change, and such changes could be material. The Company continues to review the underlying assumptions and valuation techniques utilized to calculate the fair value of certain definite-lived intangibles, loans, goodwill and deferred income taxes. Additional adjustments may be recorded during the allocation period specified by ASC 805 as additional information becomes known. Adjustments in the second quarter of 2019 increased goodwill by $3.6 million.

The following table provides the unaudited pro forma information for the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018. The pro forma results combine the historical results of Trinity with the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, adjusted for the impact of the application of the acquisition method of accounting including loan discount accretion, intangible assets amortization, and deposit and trust preferred securities premium accretion, net of taxes. The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been obtained had the acquisition actually occurred on January 1, 2018. No assumptions have been applied to the pro forma results of operations regarding possible revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies or asset dispositions. Only the acquisition related expenses that have been incurred as of June 30, 2019 are included in net income in the table below.
