Merger – First Priority Financial Corp.

After the close of business on July 31, 2018, Mid Penn completed its acquisition of First Priority Financial Corp. (“First Priority”), through the merger of First Priority with and into Mid Penn pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of January 16, 2018, between Mid Penn and First Priority. In connection with this acquisition, First Priority Bank, First Priority’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, was merged with and into Mid Penn Bank.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, shareholders of First Priority received 0.3481 shares of Mid Penn common stock for each share of First Priority common stock they owned. Additionally, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, outstanding options to purchase First Priority common stock at the time of the merger were converted to the right to receive cash at a per-option value of $11.07 less the exercise price, without interest.  As a result of the acquisition, Mid Penn’s fulfillment of the merger consideration requirements resulted in the issuance of approximately 2.3 million shares of Mid Penn common stock, and the payment of cash related to options of approximately $3.9 million.  Mid Penn also issued 3,404 shares of its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series D, having a fixed dividend rate of 9 percent per annum, in exchange for the 3,404 shares of First Priority preferred shares outstanding as of the closing of the merger.  The acquisition expands Mid Penn’s footprint into southeastern Pennsylvania, including Chester, Berks, Montgomery, and Bucks counties. Based upon the total merger consideration from Mid Penn, the transaction was valued at approximately $79,904,000. At June 30, 2018, and thirty days prior to the acquisition transaction, First Priority Bank reported total assets of $627,428,000, total loans of $522,036,000, and total deposits of $513,582,000 on a Call Report filed with federal banking regulators.

Given that the initial purchase accounting for the acquisition in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for this business combination is not yet completed, Mid Penn is not yet able to disclose the preliminary fair value of the First Priority assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Litigation

In connection with the merger acquisition of First Priority (the “Merger”), on May 31, 2018, Mid Penn and First Priority filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus on Form S-4 (SEC File No. 333- 225304) that was declared effective by the SEC on June 19, 2018 (the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”). The Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus was first mailed to the shareholders of First Priority on or about June 20, 2018.

On July 13, 2018, counsel for Mid Penn and First Priority received notification that a complaint was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Chester County, Pennsylvania, against members of the board of directors of First Priority, First Priority and Mid Penn. The lawsuit, which is captioned Parshall v. Sparks, et al., Case No. 2018-07025-MJ, alleges claims brought directly by one First Priority shareholder, Paul Parshall, but purports to state class claims on behalf of all First Priority shareholders. The lawsuit is based on allegations that the First Priority directors breached their fiduciary duty through material misstatements and/or omissions in the proxy statement/prospectus distributed to shareholders of First Priority and Mid Penn in connection with the pending merger of First Priority with and into Mid Penn. The lawsuit further alleges that the merger consideration is inadequate. Mid Penn is alleged to have aided and abetted the First Priority directors’ alleged breaches of their fiduciary duties. The lawsuit seeks, among other remedies, to enjoin the merger or, in the event the merger is completed, rescission of the merger or rescissory damages; unspecified damages; and costs of the lawsuit, including attorneys’ and experts’ fees. Mid Penn believes that the lawsuit is without merit as there are substantial legal and factual defenses to the claims asserted and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.  It is not possible at this time to estimate reasonably possible losses, or even a range of reasonably possible losses, in connection with the litigation.
