Acquisition of Peoples Bancorp, Inc. of Bullitt County
 
On December 4, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of Peoples Bancorp, Inc. of Bullitt County (“Peoples”) and its wholly owned subsidiary The Peoples Bank of Bullitt County (“Peoples Bank”), headquartered in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 4, 2015 (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the Merger Agreement, Peoples merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation, and Peoples Bank merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving financial institution. The acquisition expanded the Company’s presence into Bullitt County, Kentucky and its overall presence in the greater Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan market. The Company expects to benefit from growth in this new market area as well as from expansion of the banking services provided to the existing customers of Peoples Bank. Cost savings are also expected for the combined bank through economies of scale and the consolidation of business operations
.
 
The Company paid cash consideration of $14.7 million in the transaction and issued 580,017 shares of Company common stock, with a total fair value of $14.8 million. As part of the merger, the Company acquired foreclosed real estate with an estimated fair value of $3.75 million (the “Contingent Assets”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, if the Company sells the Contingent Assets within 24 months after the effective date of the merger or has entered into a written contract for the sale of the Contingent Assets which are then sold within 60 days after the expiration of that 24-month period, the Company will distribute additional cash consideration of 50% of the sale proceeds in excess of $3.75 million on a pro rata basis to the former shareholders of Peoples. Currently, there is no written contract for the sale of the Contingent Assets and no contingent consideration is anticipated.
 
The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of Peoples have been included in the Company’s results of operations since the date of acquisition. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price was assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values, net of applicable income tax effects. The excess of cost over the fair value of the acquired net assets of $1.1 million was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill arising from the acquisition consisted largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and Peoples. No amount of the goodwill arising in the acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes.
 
Acquisition-related costs of approximately $214,000 and $267,000 are included in noninterest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the three and six months, respectively, ended June 30, 2015. There were no acquisition-related costs for the three or six months ended June 30, 2016.
 
Additional information regarding the Peoples acquisition can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
