On August 1, 2013,
Landmark National Bank (“LNB”), the wholly owned bank subsidiary of Landmark Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”),
announced the execution of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 1, 2013 (the “Merger Agreement”),
by and among LNB, the Company, First Capital Corporation (“First Capital”) and its wholly owned bank subsidiary,
Citizens Bank, National Association (“Citizens Bank”), which provides for the merger of Citizens Bank into LNB
(the “Merger”). The Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Under the terms of
the Merger Agreement, LNB will pay an amount in cash to First Capital that will be determined at the time of closing based upon
the deposit accounts and value of certain real estate held by Citizens Bank, and the shares of stock of Citizens Bank will cease
to exist following the Merger. Immediately prior to the Merger, Citizens Bank has agreed to distribute
certain loans and other assets to First Capital, which will remain an independent entity following the Merger. The transaction
is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013.
LNB has approximately
$640 million in assets as of June 30, 2013, and operates 22 locations in 17 communities across Kansas. Citizens
Bank has assets of approximately $270 million and operates eight locations in seven communities in eastern Kansas.
Subsequent to Citizens Bank’s distribution to First Capital and LNB’s simultaneous repayment of Citizens Bank’s
Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other liabilities, LNB will be acquiring approximately $195 million in assets. In addition,
the Company has agreed to assume the trust preferred security obligations of First Capital in exchange for assets of an equal value.
The Merger has been
unanimously approved by the board of directors of each of LNB and Citizens Bank, and is subject to certain regulatory approvals.
LNB and Citizens Bank have made customary representations and warranties about their businesses and covenants pending the closing
of the Merger, including covenants of Citizens Bank to conduct its business in the ordinary course.
Each party also has
the right to terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances. Either LNB or Citizens Bank may, with certain exceptions,
terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger is not consummated by end of the day on March 31, 2014.
The Company has also
entered into a stock purchase agreement with First Capital, pursuant to which First Capital will have the opportunity to purchase
up to $1 million of shares of stock of the Company following the closing of the Merger.
The Merger Agreement,
which has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms, contains representations and warranties of each
of LNB and Citizens Bank. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Merger
Agreement and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed by the respective parties in connection with negotiating the
terms of the Merger Agreement. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, may be subject
to a contractual standard of materiality different from what a shareholder might view as material, or may have been used for purposes
of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Interested parties should read the
Merger Agreement, together with the other information concerning the parties, including the information that the Company publicly
files in reports and statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
