On May 1, 2015, MVB Bank, Inc. (MVB Bank), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MVB Financial Corp. (MVB Financial or the Company), issued a joint news release with BB&T Corporation (BB&T) and Susquehanna Bancshares, Inc. (Susquehanna) announcing the signing of a definitive agreement, subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approvals, through which MVB Bank will acquire two branch locations of Susquehanna Bank in Berkeley County, West Virginia and will assume approximately $69 million of deposits and $17 million of loans. The two Susquehanna Bank branch locations are slated for divestiture under BB&T’s agreement with the United States Department of Justice and commitments to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in connection with BB&T’s pending acquisition of Susquehanna. On July 22, 2015, regulatory approvals for the acquisition of the two Susquehanna Bank branch locations were received and the acquisition closed August 28, 2015.

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805. The assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the August 28, 2015 acquisition date.
