Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition of Assets

On November 1, 2011 CenterState Banks, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously announced transaction as described in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (“Hartford”), and Federal Trust Corporation (“FTC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hartford, whereby FTC merged with and into the Company. Pursuant to and simultaneously with the merger of FTC with and into the Company, FTC’s wholly owned subsidiary bank, Federal Trust Bank (“FTB”) merged with and into the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary bank, CenterState Bank of Florida, N.A.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and subject to final verification and true-up procedures expected to be completed prior to December 31, 2011, the Company acquired the following assets and assumed the following liabilities:

Assets acquired include:

 

  (a) Approximately $163.8 million of selected performing loans (see Note 1 below)

 

  (b) Approximately $8.6 million Bank owned life insurance policies (“BOLI”)

 

  (c) Approximately $4.2 million of FHLB stock

 

  (d) Approximately $2.3 million of prepaid FDIC insurance

 

  (e) Four branch offices (and assumed a lease on the fifth office acquired) plus certain furniture, fixtures and equipment for approximately $4 million

 

  (f) Approximately $66.2 million of cash

Liabilities assumed include:

 

  (a) Approximately $192 million of deposits

 

  (b) Approximately $5 million of trust Preferred Securities (interest adjusts quarterly at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.95%)

 

  (c) Approximately $2.8 million of official checks and escrow deposits

 

  (d) Approximately $5.8 million of accrued expenses and other liabilities

 

Note 1:   The $163.8 million represents the approximate current legal unpaid principal balance outstanding. The loans were purchased at a 27% discount (approximately $44.2 million). In addition, the Company has the option, for a period of one year beginning November 1, 2011, to put back any loan that is 30 days past due or is adversely classified pursuant to bank regulatory guidelines.
Note 2:   The Company has not yet completed the process of determining the market values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company expects to complete its initial valuation analysis prior to December 31, 2011. The results of these analyses will determine the final bargain purchase gain to be recognized.

Potential effect on the Company’s tangible book value per share:

The final bargain purchase gain cannot be determined until (1) the completion of a final verification and true-up process expected to occur prior to December 31, 2011; and (2) the Company completes its valuation process to determine the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. However, based on preliminary estimates, the bargain purchase gain could add approximately $0.75 to $0.85 a share to the tangible book value per share. The Company’s tangible book value per share was $6.92 at September 30, 2011.
