Penn Liberty Financial Corporation
On August 12, 2016, we completed the acquisition of Penn Liberty Financial Corporation (Penn Liberty) conducted its primary business operations through its subsidiary Penn Liberty Bank, which was merged into WSFS Bank. At closing, Penn Liberty had 11 banking offices in Montgomery and Chester counties, Pennsylvania, which are suburbs of Philadelphia. WSFS acquired Penn Liberty to expand the scale and efficiency of its operations in southeastern Pennsylvania in addition to the opportunity to generate additional revenue by providing its full suite of banking, mortgage banking, wealth management and insurance services to the Penn Liberty markets.
The acquisition of Penn Liberty was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration transferred were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill, which is not amortizable and is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company allocated the total balance of this goodwill to its WSFS Bank segment. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are now considered final.
In connection with the acquisition of Penn Liberty, the consideration transferred and the final fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, are summarized in the following table:
