COMMON STOCK OUTSTANDING AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

On

January 31, 2019,

we issued

1,834,142

shares of common stock, and paid

$15.3

million in cash for our acquisition of Merchants Holding Company (“Merchants”) at which point, Merchants shareholders held, in the aggregate, approximately

10%

of our outstanding common stock. See Note

for additional information on the acquisition

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding unvested restricted stock awards which do

not

have voting rights or share in dividends. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Holding Company. The computation of diluted earnings per share does

not

assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.

The following is a computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the

three

and

six

months ended

June 30, 2019

and

2018.
