REORGANIZATION AND ACQUISITION ACTIVITY

NOTE 2 — REORGANIZATION AND ACQUISITION ACTIVITY

Reorganization into Customers Bancorp, Inc.

The Bancorp and the Bank entered into a Plan of Merger and Reorganization effective September 17, 2011 pursuant to which all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Bank was exchanged on a three to one basis for shares of common stock and Class B Non-Voting common stock of the Bancorp. The Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bancorp (the “Reorganization”). The Bancorp is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, 100,000,000 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. All share and per share information has been retrospectively restated to reflect the Reorganization, including the three-for-one consideration used in the Reorganization.

In the Reorganization, the Bank’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock of 22,525,825 shares and Class B Non-Voting common stock of 6,834,895 shares converted into 7,508,473 shares of the Bancorp’s common stock and 2,278,294 shares of the Bancorp’s Class B Non-Voting common stock. Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares. Outstanding warrants to purchase 1,410,732 shares of the Bank’s common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $3.55 per share and 243,102 shares of the Bank’s Class B Non-Voting common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $3.50 per share were converted into warrants to purchase 470,260 shares of the Bancorp’s common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $10.64 per share and warrants to purchase 81,036 shares of the Bancorp’s Class B Non-Voting common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $10.50 per share. Outstanding stock options to purchase 2,572,404 shares of the Bank’s common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $3.50 per share and stock options to purchase 231,500 shares of the Bank’s Class B Non-Voting common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $4.00 per share were converted into stock options to purchase 855,774 shares of the Bancorp’s common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $10.49 per share and stock options to purchase 77,166 shares of the Bancorp’s Class B Non-Voting common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $12.00 per share.

Acacia Federal Savings Bank Acquisition

On June 21, 2012, the Bancorp announced the entry into a definitive agreement to acquire Acacia Federal Savings Bank (Acacia) located in Falls Church, Virginia from two subsidiaries of Ameritas Mutual Holding Company (Ameritas). Acacia serves the metro Washington, D.C. market. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Bancorp will acquire 100% of the stock of Acacia from Ameritas Mutual Holding Company for a total purchase price of $65.0 million to be paid in Voting Common Stock (resulting in a 9.9% voting ownership interest in the Bancorp), Class B Non-Voting Common Stock (resulting in up to 19.9% total common ownership interest (voting and non-voting, taking into account outstanding securities convertible into common stock) in the Bancorp), and Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series C (with an aggregate liquidation value of $65.0 million minus the value of the Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock to be issued in the acquisition). The Bancorp expects to issue its Voting Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock at 115% of GAAP book value at the time of closing.

The Bancorp will not be acquiring any non-performing loans, other real estate owned or other assets that it deems to possess higher risk. In addition, the Bancorp will not be responsible for any severance obligations, charges associated with the early termination of the O.S.I. technology contract or lease termination charges on Acacia’s corporate headquarters beyond one year. The closing is expected to take place during the fourth quarter of 2012.

The consummation of the Acacia Transaction is contingent upon a number of conditions including, but not limited to, receipt of various regulatory approvals.

CMS Bancorp Acquisition

On August 10, 2012, Customers Bancorp Inc. announced the entry into a definitive agreement to acquire via merger CMS Bancorp (CMS Bancorp) located in White Plains, New York and ultimately CMS Bank. CMS Bank, with five branches, serves Westchester County, New York, and the surrounding areas.

The total transaction value is approximately $20.8 million, and the agreement provides for CMS Bancorp stockholders to receive shares of Customers Bancorp voting common stock based upon an exchange ratio to be determined as the quotient of (i) the CMS Valuation, divided by (ii) the Customers Valuation, with fractional shares to be cashed out. The “CMS Valuation” will be calculated as 95% of CMS Bancorp’s common stockholders’ equity as of the month end prior to the closing, while the “Customers Valuation” will be calculated as 125% of Customer Bancorp’s modified stockholder equity as of the month end prior to closing. Modified stockholders’ equity is defined as June 30, 2012 book value plus additions to retained earnings through the month-end prior to closing. Shares issued by Customers Bancorp in capital raises and purchase accounting adjustments from any other acquisitions will not be included in calculating modified stockholders’ equity. By way of example, based on the March 31, 2012 book value per share of CMS Bancorp and the June 30, 2012 modified stockholders’ equity of Customers Bancorp, $11.75 and $13.99, respectively, the exchange ratio would be 0.6383. The foregoing calculation is provided as an example only, and does not purport to be the actual exchange ratio. The actual exchange ratio will likely be different at closing.

The acquisition of CMS will enhance the Bancorp’s New York franchise. Closing of the CMS Bancorp merger, which is subject to regulatory approval, customary closing conditions and the approval of CMS Bancorp’s stockholders, is expected to occur in the first half of 2013.
