20.	Mergers and Acquisitions

Community First Bancorp, Inc.

October 1, 2018,

the Corporation completed the acquisition of Community First Bancorp, Inc. (CFB) in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of

May 25, 2018,

in exchange for

419,173

shares of common stock valued at

$15.6

million and

$2.4

million in cash. In addition, the Corporation issued

$4.2

million of preferred stock in exchange for

420,593

shares of similar preferred stock of Community First Bank, valued at

$4.2

million. The acquisition strengthened the Corporation’s franchise within current market areas and increased the Corporation’s consolidated total assets, loans and deposits. The Corporation owned

18,000

shares of CFB common stock and recognized a

$690,000

non-taxable gain on the retirement of the shares in connection with the acquisition.

The assets and liabilities of CFB were recorded on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair value as of

October

2018.

Included in the purchase price was goodwill and a core deposit intangible of

$9.2

million and

$1.2

million, respectively. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and is the result of expected operational synergies and other factors. This goodwill is

not

deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill will

not

be amortized, but will be measured annually for impairment or more frequently if circumstances require. The core deposit intangible will be amortized over an estimated life of

ten

years using the straight line method. Core deposit intangible expense was

$121,000

for

2019

and is projected for the succeeding

five

years beginning

2020

to be

$121,000

per year with

$453,000

in total for years after

2024.
