ACQUISITIONS

Hoosier Trust Company

On April 1, 2021, the Bank acquired 100 percent of Hoosier Trust Company ("Hoosier") through a merger of Hoosier with and into the Bank. The consideration paid to shareholders of Hoosier at closing was $3,225,000 in cash. Prior to the acquisition, Hoosier was an Indiana corporate trust company, headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, with approximately $290 million in assets under management. Hoosier’s sole office is now being operated by the Bank as a limited service trust office.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to net tangible and intangible assets based on their current estimated fair value on the date of the acquisition. Based on the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are based on assumptions that are subject to change based on the timing of the transaction, the purchase price for the Hoosier acquisition is detailed in the following table.

	Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	292
Other assets	35
Other liabilities	(816)
Net tangible assets acquired	(489)
Customer relationship intangible	2,247
Goodwill	1,467
Purchase price	$	3,225

Of the total purchase price, $2,247,000 was allocated to a customer relationship intangible, which will be amortized over its estimated life of 10 years. The remaining purchase price was allocated to goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes. Pro forma financial information of the Hoosier acquisition is not included in these disclosures as it is deemed immaterial.

Level One Bancorp, Inc.

On April 1, 2022, the Corporation acquired 100 percent of Level One Bancorp, Inc. ("Level One"). Level One, a Michigan corporation, merged with and into the Corporation (the "Merger"), whereupon the separate corporate existence of Level One ceased and the Corporation survived. Immediately following the Merger, Level One's wholly owned subsidiary, Level One Bank, merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving bank.

Level One was headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan and had 17 banking centers serving the Michigan market. Pursuant to the merger agreement, each common shareholder of Level One received, for each outstanding share of Level One common stock, (a) a 0.7167 share (the "Exchange Ratio") of the Corporation's common stock, in a tax-free exchange, and (b) a cash payment of $10.17. Fractional shares of the Corporation's common stock were not issued in respect of fractional interests arising from the Exchange Ratio but were paid in cash pursuant to the merger agreement. The Corporation issued 5.6 million shares of the Corporation's common stock and paid $79.3 million in cash in exchange for all outstanding shares of Level One common stock.

Additionally, the Corporation issued 10,000 shares of newly created 7.5% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, with a liquidation preference of $2,500 per share, in exchange for the outstanding Level One Series B preferred stock. Likewise, each outstanding Level One depositary share representing a 1/100th interest in a share of the Level One Series B preferred stock was converted into a depositary share of the Corporation representing a 1/100th interest in a share of its newly issued preferred stock (Nasdaq: FRMEP).

The combined Corporation has 126 banking centers in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. As of March 31, 2022, Level One had total assets of $2.4 billion, total loans of $1.7 billion and deposits of $1.9 billion. Certain fair value measurements and the purchase price allocation have not been completed due to the timing of the acquisition and the number of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Review of the estimated

fair values of loans, investments, property and equipment, intangible assets, other assets, deposits, borrowings and other liabilities, and the evaluation of the assumed tax positions will occur during the measurement period.
