Warp Speed Holdings, LLC

In March 2022, the Bank entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Warp Speed, pursuant to which the Bank agreed to purchase certain common units of Warp Speed in an amount equal to 37.5% of the outstanding equity interests of Warp Speed, on a fully-diluted basis. In April 2022, we assumed the Bank's obligations under the Purchase Agreement. Effective October 1, 2022, we completed the purchase with $38.4 million in cash, plus 313,030 shares of newly-issued common stock of MVB, with an aggregate value of $9.6 million, based on the volume-weighted average closing price for shares of MVB common stock for the 20 trading days ending the day prior to closing.

We account for our ownership in Warp Speed as an equity method investment, the balance of which was $49.4 million as of December 31, 2022. In accordance with ASC Topic 323 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, we have made an election to record our share of the results of operations of Warp Speed on a three-month lag. Accordingly, the transaction will not impact our consolidated statements of income until the first quarter of 2023.

Integrated Financial Holdings, LLC

In August 2022, we entered into the Merger Agreement with IFH. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, IFH will merge with and into MVB, with MVB continuing as the surviving corporation. Under the terms of the merger agreement, IFH shareholders will receive 1.21 shares of MVB common stock for each share of IFH common stock. The value of the merger consideration to be paid by MVB in shares of MVB common stock upon the completion of the merger will be determined based on the closing price of MVB common stock on the closing date and the number of issued and outstanding shares of IFH common stock immediately prior to the closing. Following the merger, West Town Bank & Trust, a state bank chartered under the laws of Illinois and wholly-owned subsidiary of IFH, may, upon the direction of MVB, merge with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving bank. In January 2023, the Merger Agreement was approved by the board of directors and shareholders of MVB and IFH. We are awaiting required regulatory approvals in order to execute the Merger.
