Change in Corporate Form
 
On
October 19, 2015,
the
Bank converted into a federal stock savings bank and established a stock holding company, New Bancorp, Inc., as parent of the Bank.
 
The Bank converted to the stock form of ownership, followed by the issuance of all of the Bank
’s outstanding stock to New Bancorp, Inc. The Bank became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company issued and sold shares of its capital stock pursuant to an independent
 valuation apprai
sal of the Bank and the Company. The stock was priced at
$10.00
per share. In addition, the Bank’s board of directors adopted an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) which subscribed for
8%
of the common stock sold in the offering. The Conversion was completed on
October 19, 2015
and resulted in the issuance of
696,600
common shares by the Company.
The cost of the Conversion and issuing the capital stock
totaled
$1.2
million and was deducted from the proceeds of the offering.
 
In accordance with OCC regulations, at the time of the Conversion, the Bank substantially restricted retained earnings by establishing a liquidation account. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after the Conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will
not
restore an eligible account holder
’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event, each eligible account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held. The Bank
may
not
pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.
 
The conversion was accounted for as a change in corporate form with the historic basis of the Bank
’s assets, liabilities and equity unchanged as a result.
