The Amendment extends the closing date of the transaction from March 21, 2013, to a closing date no later than 10 business days following receipt of all required regulatory approvals, or as mutually agreed to by the parties. In the event the required regulatory approvals are not obtained within 120 days of the Amendment, the Agreement may be terminated by either the Purchaser or Seller, unless the parties mutually agree to waive such termination.
As previously announced, the Bank will acquire all of the shares of common stock of Charter Holding Corp. held by Seller for a total purchase price of $6.2 million in cash or its equivalent. Completion of the transaction is subject to closing conditions, including the receipt of all regulatory approvals by the Bank and the satisfactory completion of purchase accounting valuations by an independent third party.
