ACQUISITION OF FIRST NATIONAL BANKSHARES CORPORATION

NOTE  2 – ACQUISITION OF FIRST NATIONAL BANKSHARES CORPORATION

Effective at the close of business on January 15, 2016, Premier completed its purchase of First National Bankshares Corporation ("Bankshares"), a $237.3 million single bank holding company headquartered in Ronceverte, West Virginia.  Under terms of an agreement of merger dated July 6, 2015, Premier issued 1.859 shares of its common stock for each share of Bankshares for a total acquisition value of approximately $22.0 million.  Based on the preliminary valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed the purchase price resulted in approximately $3.32 million in goodwill, none of which is deductible for tax purposes.  During the period following the acquisition through the year ended December 31, 2016, management obtained information regarding its initial valuations that resulted in increases in the fair value of the premises acquired, and the estimated core deposit intangible plus decreases in the fair value of loans and other liabilities, net of related deferred taxes.  These adjustments decreased the amount of goodwill recorded as a result of the acquisition to approximately $1.57 million, consisting largely of synergies and the cost savings resulting from the combining of the operations of the companies. The resulting merger expands Premier's footprint into the Greenbrier Valley of West Virginia and into Covington, Virginia along Interstate 64 with six additional branch locations.  The core deposit intangible asset was revised to a total of $3.31 million, none of which is deductible for tax purposes.  The core deposit intangible will be amortized using an accelerated method over an estimated 10 year life.  The following table presents estimated amortization of the Bankshares core deposit intangible as of the acquisition date for each of the first five years and thereafter.

The fair value of net assets acquired includes fair value adjustments to certain receivables that were not considered impaired as of the acquisition date. The fair value adjustments were determined using discounted contractual cash flows.  However, the Company believes that all contractual cash flows related to these non-impaired financial instruments will be collected.  As such, these receivables were not considered impaired at the acquisition date and were not subject to the accounting guidance relating to purchase credit impaired loans, which have shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination.  The non-impaired loans excluded from the purchase credit impairment guidance were recorded at an estimated fair value of $125,669 and had gross contractual amounts receivable of $127,347 on the date of acquisition.
