Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On November 15, 2018, First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release regarding the consummation of the Merger described in Item 8.01 below. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein. The information furnished pursuant to this Item and the related exhibit shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On November 15, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of SCB Bancorp, Inc. (“SCB”) through the merger (the “Merger”) of SCB with and into Project Almond Merger Sub LLC, a newly formed Illinois limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 12, 2018, by and among the Company, SCB and Merger Sub (the “Merger Agreement”). At the effective time of the Merger, each share of SCB common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger converted into the right to receive (a) $307.93 in cash or (b) 8.0228 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $4.00 per share, and cash in lieu of fractional shares. In addition, immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, SCB paid a special dividend to its shareholders in the aggregate amount of $25 million. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each record holder of SCB common stock could make one of the following elections prior to the Election Deadline of 5:00 p.m. central time on November 7, 2018 (the “Election Deadline”): Stockholders who failed to make an effective election by the Election Deadline were deemed to have made an election to receive stock consideration. Overall elections were subject to proration such that, depending on the number of shares of SCB common stock electing shares of the Company’s common stock, between 19 and 32.5 percent of the SCB shares would be exchanged for cash, and between 67.5 and 81 percent would be exchanged for the Company’s common stock. Of the 225,825 shares of SCB common stock outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the merger: As a result, SCB shares as to which a stock election was made will receive Company common stock, SCB shares as to which a cash election was made will receive cash, and shares with respect to which no effective election was made will receive Company common stock. No fractional shares of Company common stock will be issued. As a result, each former holder of SCB stock who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Company common stock will receive, instead, an amount in cash (without interest), rounded to the nearest whole cent, determined by multiplying $37.22 by the fractional share of Company common stock to which such former holder of SCB common stock would otherwise be entitled.
