Note 11. Acquisition

 

On October 1, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Touchstone with and into the Company. Immediately following the Merger, Touchstone Bank, the wholly owned subsidiary of Touchstone, was merged with and into First Bank. The acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under acquisition accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their acquisition date fair values, and any excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair value of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, each outstanding share of Touchstone common stock and preferred stock (on an as-converted, one-for-one basis, which shares of preferred stock converted automatically to common stock at the effective time of the Merger) received 0.8122 shares of the Company’s common stock. In connection with the transactions, the Company issued 2,673,640 shares of its common stock to Touchstone’s shareholders.  The financial position and results of operations of Touchstone are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2024.  As of September 30, 2024, Touchstone reported total assets of $660.8 million, gross loans of $492.4 million, and total deposits of $559.1 million.

 

Following the Merger, the former branches of Touchstone Bank assumed in the Merger continue to operate in Virginia as Touchstone Bank, a division of First Bank, and, in North Carolina, as Touchstone Bank, a division of First Bank, Strasburg, Virginia, until the systems integration is completed in February 2025. With the addition of Touchstone, the Company had approximately $2.1 billion in assets, $1.5 billion in loans and $1.8 billion in deposits on a combined pro-forma basis as of September 30, 2024. The combined company delivers banking services through thirty-three branch offices in Virginia and North Carolina and three loan production offices, in addition to a wide array of online banking services. The Company incurred pre-tax merger costs totaling $219 thousand for the three months ending September 30, 2024, and $790 thousand for the nine-months ending September 30,2024.
