Mergers and Acquisitions

Acquisition of First Madison Bank & Trust
On May 1, 2019, United completed the acquisition of First Madison Bank & Trust (“FMBT”). FMBT operated four banking offices in Athens-Clarke County, Georgia. In connection with the acquisition, United acquired $245 million of assets and assumed $213 million of liabilities. Under the terms of the merger agreement, FMBT shareholders received $52.1 million in cash. The fair value of consideration paid exceeded the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired and resulted in the establishment of goodwill in the amount of $20.3 million, representing the intangible value of FMBT’s business and reputation within the markets it served. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. United is amortizing the related core deposit intangible of $2.80 million using the sum-of-the-years-digits method over 9.25 years, which represents the expected useful life of the asset.

United’s operating results for the year ended December 31, 2019, include the operating results of the acquired business for the period subsequent to the acquisition date of May 1, 2019.

The purchased assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at their acquisition date fair values and are summarized in the table below (in thousands)

Acquisition of Navitas
On February 1, 2018, United completed the acquisition of Navitas, a specialty lending company providing equipment finance credit services to small and medium-sized businesses nationwide. In connection with the acquisition, United acquired $393 million of assets and assumed $350 million of liabilities. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Navitas shareholders received $130 million in total consideration, of which $84.5 million was paid in cash and $45.7 million was paid in United common stock. The fair value of consideration paid exceeded the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired and resulted in the establishment of goodwill in the amount of $87.4 million, representing the intangible value of Navitas’s business and reputation within the markets it served. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
 
Since the acquisition date, within the one-year measurement period, United received additional information regarding the fair value of loans. As a result, the provisional value assigned to the acquired loans was reduced by $526,000, partially offset by acquisition-related adjustments to deferred tax assets. The net of the adjustments was reflected as a $390,000 increase to goodwill.  

The purchased assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at their acquisition date fair values and are summarized in the table below (in thousands).

In January 2018, after announcement of its intention to acquire Navitas but prior to the completion of the acquisition, United purchased $19.9 million in loans from Navitas in a transaction separate from the business combination.

Acquisition of Four Oaks FinCorp, Inc.
On November 1, 2017, United completed the acquisition of Four Oaks FinCorp, Inc. (“FOFN”) and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Four Oaks Bank & Trust Company. FOFN operated 14 banking offices in the Raleigh, North Carolina area. In connection with the acquisition, United acquired $730 million of assets and assumed $658 million of liabilities. Under the terms of the merger agreement, FOFN shareholders received 0.6178 shares of United common stock and $1.90 for each share of FOFN common stock issued and outstanding at the closing date. The fair value of consideration paid exceeded the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired and resulted in the establishment of goodwill in the amount of $53.5 million, representing the intangible value of FOFN’s business and reputation within the market it served. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. United is amortizing the related core deposit intangible of $7.83 million using the sum-of-the-years-digits method over 11.5 years, which represents the expected useful life of the asset. United amortized the related noncompete agreement intangibles of $908,000 using the straight line method over the one year terms of the agreements. In connection with the acquisition, United assumed $11.5 million in subordinated debentures and $12.4 million in trust preferred securities. See Note 13 for further information on long-term debt.

During first quarter 2018, within the one-year measurement period, United received additional information regarding the acquisition date fair values of loans held for sale and servicing assets. As a result, the provisional values assigned to the acquired loans held for sale and servicing assets have been adjusted to $10.7 million and $65,000, respectively, which represent an increase of $2.59 million and a decrease of $354,000, respectively, from amounts previously disclosed. The tax effect of these adjustments was reflected as a decrease to the deferred tax asset of $1.08 million, with the net amount of $1.16 million reflected as a decrease to goodwill.

The purchased assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at their acquisition date fair values and are summarized in the table below (in thousands).

Acquisition of HCSB Financial Corporation
On July 31, 2017, United completed the acquisition of HCSB Financial Corporation (“HCSB”) and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Horry County State Bank. HCSB operated eight branches in coastal South Carolina. In connection with the acquisition, United acquired $389 million of assets and assumed $347 million of liabilities. Under the terms of the merger agreement, HCSB shareholders received 0.0050 shares of United common stock for each share of HCSB common stock issued and outstanding at the closing date. The fair value of consideration paid exceeded the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired and resulted in the establishment of goodwill in the amount of $24.2 million, representing the intangible value of HCSB’s business and reputation within the market it served. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. United is amortizing the related core deposit intangible of $3.48 million using the sum-of-the-years-digits method over six years, which represents the expected useful life of the asset. United amortized the related noncompete agreement intangibles of $2.24 million using the straight line method over the terms of the agreements, which vary between one year and two years.

During second quarter 2018, within the one-year measurement period, United received additional information regarding the acquisition date fair value of premises and equipment. As a result, the provisional value assigned to the acquired premises and equipment has been adjusted to $7.42 million, which represents a decrease of $493,000 from the amount previously disclosed. The tax effect of this adjustment was reflected as an increase to the deferred tax asset of $190,000, resulting in a net $303,000 increase to goodwill.

Pro forma information - unaudited
 
The following table discloses the impact of the mergers with FMBT, Navitas, FOFN, and HCSB since the respective acquisition dates through December 31 of the year of acquisition. The table also presents certain pro forma information as if FMBT had been acquired on January 1, 2018, Navitas had been acquired on January 1, 2017, and FOFN and HCSB had been acquired on January 1, 2016. These results combine the historical results of the acquired entities with United’s consolidated statements of income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisitions taken place in earlier years.

For purposes of pro forma information, merger-related costs incurred in the year of acquisition are excluded from the actual acquisition year results and included in the pro forma acquisition year results. As a result, merger-related costs related to the acquisition of FMBT of $2.02 million are reflected in 2018 pro forma information and merger-related costs related to the acquisition of Navitas of $4.98 million are reflected in 2017 pro forma information. Merger-related costs related to the acquisitions of FOFN and HCSB of $8.71 million were reflected in the 2016 pro forma results which are not presented below. The following table presents the actual results and pro forma information for the periods indicated (in thousands).
