Note 2 – Acquisitions

On February 18, 2015, Horizon entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for Horizon’s acquisition of Peoples Bancorp, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“Peoples”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Peoples would merge with and into Horizon, with Horizon surviving the merger (the “Merger”), and Peoples Federal Savings Bank of DeKalb County (“Peoples FSB”), a federally chartered stock savings bank and wholly owned subsidiary of Peoples, would merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Horizon, Horizon Bank, N.A. (“Horizon Bank”), with Horizon Bank as the surviving bank.

On July 1, 2015 Horizon completed the acquisition of Peoples and Horizon Bank N.A.’s acquisition of Peoples FSB, through mergers effective July 1, 2015. Under the terms of the acquisition, the exchange ratio was 0.95 shares of Horizon common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”) and $9.75 in cash for each outstanding share of Peoples common stock. Peoples shareholders owning fewer than 100 shares of common stock received $33.14 in cash for each common share. Peoples shares outstanding at the closing were 2,311,858, and the shares of Horizon common stock issued to Peoples shareholders totaled 2,192,202. Horizon’s stock price was $25.32 per share at the close of business on July 1, 2015. Based upon these numbers, the total value of the consideration for the acquisition was $78.1 million.

As of July 1, 2015, Peoples had total assets of approximately $462.7 million, total deposits of approximately $350.6 million and total net loans of approximately $226.6 million.

Utilizing June 30, 2015 financials for both Horizon and Peoples and an estimate of the fair market value adjustments associated with the merger, Horizon would have total assets of approximately $2.7 billion, total deposits of approximately $1.9 billion and total net loans of approximately $1.7 billion on a pro forma basis. The accounting for the business combination is not yet complete and therefore all required disclosures for a business combination have not been provided.

On April 3, 2014 Horizon closed its acquisition of SCB Bancorp, Inc. (“Summit”) and Horizon Bank N.A.’s acquisition of Summit Community Bank, through mergers effective as of that date. Under the final terms of the acquisition, the exchange ratio was 0.4904 shares of Horizon’s common stock and $5.15 in cash for each share of Summit common stock outstanding. Summit shares outstanding at the closing were 1,164,442, and the shares of Horizon common stock issued to Summit shareholders totaled 570,820. Horizon’s stock price was $22.23 per share at the close of business on April 3, 2014. Based upon these numbers, the total value of the consideration for the acquisition was $18.9 million (not including the retirement of Summit debt). The Company had approximately $1.3 million in costs related to the acquisition. These expenses are classified in the other expense section of the income statement and primarily located in the salaries and employee benefits, professional services and other expense line items. As a result of the acquisition, the Company will have an opportunity to increase its deposit base and reduce transaction costs. The Company also expects to reduce cost through economies of scale.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price is allocated to Summit’s net tangible and intangible assets based on their current estimated fair values on the date of the acquisition. Based on management’s preliminary valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to change, the preliminary purchase price for the Summit acquisition is allocated as follows:


ASSETS			LIABILITIES
Cash and due from banks	$	15,161	Deposits
			Non-interest bearing	$	27,274
Commercial		70,441	NOW accounts		16,332
Residential mortgage		43,448	Savings and money market		35,045
Consumer		10,192	Certificates of deposits		42,368

Total loans		124,081	Total deposits		121,019

Premises and equipment, net		2,548	Borrowings		16,990
FRB and FHLB stock		2,136	Interest payable		52
Goodwill		8,428	Other liabilities		599
Core deposit intangible		822
Interest receivable		347
Cash value of life insurance		2,185
Other assets		2,877

Total assets purchased	$	158,585	Total liabilities assumed	$	138,660


Common shares issued	$	12,689
Cash paid		6,207
Retirement of Holding Company Debt		1,029

Total estimated purchase price	$	19,925

Of the total estimated purchase price of $19.9 million, $822,000 has been allocated to core deposit intangible. Additionally, $8.4 million has been allocated to goodwill and $4.4 million of the purchase price is deductible and was assigned to the business assets. The core deposit intangible will be amortized over seven years on a straight line basis.

The Company acquired loans in the acquisition and the transferred loans had evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected.

Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered to be credit impaired. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date may include information such as past-due and non-accrual status, borrower credit scores and recent loan-to-value percentages. Purchased credit-impaired loans are accounted for under the accounting guidance for loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality (ASC 310-30) and initially measured at fair value, which includes estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Accordingly, an allowance for credit losses related to these loans is not carried over and recorded at the acquisition date. Management estimated the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition using our internal risk models, which incorporate the estimate of current key assumptions, such as default rates, severity and prepayment speeds.

The Company acquired the $130.5 million loan portfolio at a fair value discount of $6.4 million. The performing portion of the portfolio, $106.2 million, had an estimated fair value of $104.6 million. The excess of expected cash flows above the fair value of the performing portion of loans will be accreted to interest income over the remaining lives of the loans in accordance with ASC 310-20.

Final estimates of certain loans, those for which specific credit-related deterioration, since origination, are recorded at fair value, reflecting the present value of the amounts expected to be collected. Income recognition of these loans is based on reasonable expectation about the timing and amount of cash flows to be collected.

The following table details the acquired loans that are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30 as of April 3, 2014.


Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition	$	14,460
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (nonaccretable differences)		3,146

Expected cash flows at acquisition		11,314
Interest component of expected cash flows (accretable discount)		1,688

Fair value of acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-30	$	9,626
