Mergers and acquisitions
Mergers and acquisitions:
Franklin Financial Network, Inc.
On January 21, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Franklin Financial Network, Inc ("Franklin"). pursuant to which Franklin will be merged with and and into the Company. Franklin has 15 branches and approximately $3.90 billion in total assets, $2.80 billion in loans, and $3.20 billion in deposits as of December 31, 2019. According to the terms of the merger agreement, Franklin shareholders will receive 0.9650 shares of FB Financial Corporation's common stock and $2.00 in cash for each share of Franklin stock. Based on the Company's closing price on the New York Stock Exchange of $38.23 per share as of January 21, 2020, the implied transaction value is approximately $602,000. The merger is expected to close in the third quarter of 2020 and is subject to regulatory approvals, approval by the Company's and Franklin's shareholders and other customary closing conditions.
FNB Financial Corp. merger
On February 14, 2020, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of FNB Financial Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Farmers National Bank of Scottsville (collectively, "Farmers National"). Following the acquisition, Farmers National was merged into the Company with FB Financial Corporation continuing as the surviving entity. Prior to closing, Farmers National operated five branches and reported total assets of $255,172, loans of $178,603 and deposits of $205,957 as of December 31, 2019. FNB Financial Corp. shareholders received 954,797 shares of FBK common stock as consideration in connection with the merger, in addition to approximately $15,000 in cash consideration. Based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange of $36.70 on February 14, 2020, the merger consideration represented approximately $50,042 in aggregate consideration. The Company is currently in the process of determining the approximate fair value of the net assets acquired and will include preliminary purchase accounting estimates in Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020.
Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A. branch acquisition
On April 5, 2019, the Bank completed its previously-announced branch acquisition to purchase 11 Tennessee and three Georgia branch locations (the "Branches") from Atlantic Capital Bank, N.A., a national banking association and a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlantic Capital Bancshares, Inc. (collectively, “Atlantic Capital”) in a transaction valued at $36,790, further increasing market share in existing markets and expanding the Company's footprint into new locations. Upon consummation, the Branches were merged with and into FirstBank, consolidating three of the purchased branches across the existing bank footprint. Under the terms of the agreement, the Bank assumed $588,877 in deposits for a premium of 6.25% and acquired $374,399 in loans at 99.32% of principal outstanding.
The acquisition of the Branches was accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 "Business Combinations." Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, both tangible and intangible, were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. For income tax purposes, the transaction was treated as an asset purchase. As such, the values of assets and liabilities are the same for both financial reporting and income tax purposes; therefore, no deferred taxes were recorded at the date of acquisition. Additionally, this treatment allows for the deductibility of recorded intangibles for income tax purposes over 15 years. Goodwill of $31,961 recorded in connection with the transaction resulted from the ongoing business contribution of the Branches. Also, goodwill represents anticipated synergies arising from the combination of certain operational areas of the Branches and the Company. Goodwill is included in the Banking segment as all of the operations resulting from the Branches are in alignment with the Company's core banking business.
The Company incurred $4,778 in merger expenses during the year ended December 31, 2019 in connection with this transaction. These expenses are primarily comprised of professional services and employee-related costs in addition to branch closings and conversion and integration costs.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company finalized its valuation of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in insignificant changes to preliminary purchase accounting adjustments. The following tables present the final fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the April 5, 2019 acquisition date and an allocation of the consideration to net assets acquired:

The Company's operating results for the year ended December 31, 2019 include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of the Branches subsequent to the acquisition date. Due to the timing of the data conversion and the integration of operations of the Branches onto the Company's existing operations, historical reporting of the acquired Branches is impracticable, and therefore, disclosure of the amounts of revenue and expenses attributable to the acquired Branches since the acquisition date are not available.
Clayton Bank and Trust and American City Bank
On July 31, 2017, the Bank completed its mergers with Clayton Bank and Trust ("CBT") and American City Bank ("ACB" and together with CBT, the "Clayton Banks"), pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement with Clayton HC, Inc, a Tennessee corporation ("Seller"), and James L. Clayton, the majority shareholder of Seller, dated February 8, 2017, as amended on May 26, 2017, with a purchase price of approximately $236,484. The Company issued 1,521,200 shares of common stock and paid cash of $184,200 to purchase all outstanding shares of Clayton Banks. At closing, the Clayton Banks merged with and into FirstBank, with FirstBank continuing as the surviving banking entity. Prior to the merger, Clayton Banks operated 18 banking locations across Tennessee. The merger with the Clayton Banks has allowed the Company to further its strategic initiatives by expanding its geographic footprint in Knoxville and other Tennessee markets and accelerates the growth of the Company’s Banking segment.

Goodwill of $90,323 recorded in connection with the transaction resulted primarily from anticipated synergies arising from the combination of certain operational areas of the Clayton Banks and the Company as well as the purchase premium inherent to buying a complete and successful banking operation. Goodwill is included in the Banking segment as substantially all of the operations resulting from the Clayton Banks merger is included in the Banking segment.

In connection with the transaction, the Company incurred $19,034 in merger and conversion expenses during the year ended December 31, 2017. This amount includes $10,000 contributed to a charitable foundation established to invest in the communities across the markets of the Clayton Banks.

For income tax purposes, the merger with the Clayton Banks was treated as an asset purchase. As an asset purchase for income tax purposes, the value of assets and liabilities for the Clayton Banks are the same for both financial reporting and income tax purposes; therefore, no deferred taxes were recorded at the date of acquisition. Additionally, this treatment allows for the deductibility of the goodwill and core deposit intangible for income tax purposes over 15 years.

The Company accounted for the Clayton Banks transaction under the acquisition method under ASC Topic 805. Accordingly, the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed along with the resulting goodwill was recorded as of the date of the merger. The Company’s operating results for 2017 include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of the Clayton Banks subsequent to the acquisition date.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company finalized its valuation of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in no material changes to preliminary purchase accounting adjustments. The following tables present the final estimated fair value of net assets acquired as of the July 31, 2017 acquisition date and the consideration paid and an allocation of the purchase price to net assets acquired:
