(3) Merger

On March 6, 2015, CBI completed the acquisition by merger of TCNB Financial Corp. (“TCNB”) in an all-cash transaction for aggregate consideration of $17,226 million, or $23.50 per share of TCNB stock. The Company and TCNB had first announced that they had entered into an agreement to merge in September of 2014. Immediately following the merger, TCNB’s banking subsidiary, The Citizens National Bank of Southwestern Ohio, was merged into CBI’s banking subsidiary, Civista Bank.

Prior to the merger, TCNB had total assets of $97,479, including $76,771 in loans and $86,708 in deposits. The transaction was recorded as a purchase and, accordingly, the operating results of TCNB have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements since the close of business on March 6, 2015. The aggregate of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired of approximately $5,121 was recorded as goodwill and will be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis.

The following table presents financial information for the former TCNB Financial Corp. included in the Consolidated Statements of Income from the date of acquisition through March 31, 2015.

The acquired assets and liabilities were measured at estimated fair values. Management made certain estimates and exercised judgment in accounting for the acquisition. The following is a description of the methods used to determine fair value of significant assets and liabilities at the acquisition date:

Cash and short-term investments: The Company acquired $18.2 million in cash and short-term investments, which management deemed to reflect fair value based on the short term nature of the asset.

Loans: The Company acquired $76.8 million in loans receivable with and without evidence of credit quality deterioration. The loans consisted of commercial loans, commercial real estate loans, residential mortgage loans which include home equity secured lines of credit, real estate construction and consumer and other loans.

This acquisition provided the Company with the strategic opportunity to expand into new markets that, while similar to existing markets, are projected to be more vibrant in population growth and business opportunity growth. Additionally, the acquisition will provide exposure to suburbs of larger urban areas without the commitment of operating inside large metropolitan areas dominated by regional and national financial organizations. The acquisition also creates synergies on the operational side of the Company by allowing noninterest expenses to be spread over a larger operating base.
