Item 2.01.                                        Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

On October 31, 2014, Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (“Eagle”) completed its acquisition of Virginia Heritage Bank (“Virginia Heritage”). The acquisition of Virginia Heritage was effected through the merger (the “Merger”) of Virginia Heritage with and into EagleBank, Eagle’s wholly-owned subsidiary bank, in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) among Eagle, EagleBank and Virginia Heritage, dated June 9, 2014.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, based on the average closing price of Eagle common stock during the twenty trading day period ended on October 24, 2014, the fifth trading day prior to closing, of $32.42 (the Eagle Average Share Price”) holders of shares of Virginia Heritage common stock have a right to receive 0.6632 shares of Eagle common stock and $7.50 in cash for each share of Virginia Heritage common stock held immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares at a rate equal to the Eagle Average Share Price. Each option to acquire Virginia Heritage common stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger vested in full and was converted into an option to purchase shares of Eagle common stock on the same terms and conditions as were applicable prior to the Merger, subject to adjustment based on the 0.8946 option exchange ratio. Each share of Eagle common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger remained outstanding and was unaffected by the Merger.  As a result of the Merger, approximately 4.0 million shares of Eagle common stock are expected to be issued in exchange for outstanding shares of Virginia Heritage common stock, subject to adjustment for the elimination of fractional shares.

 

Additionally, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each of the 15,300 shares of Virginia Heritage’s Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, $1,000 liquidation amount per share (“Virginia Heritage Series A Preferred Stock”), issued pursuant to which was issued to the U.S. Treasury’s pursuant to the Small Business Lending Fund Program, was exchanged for one share of a new series of Eagle’s Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, liquidation amount $1,000 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), which ranks equally with and has substantially identical terms and conditions as Eagle’s existing Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, liquidation amount $1,000 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”).

 

This description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 2.1 to this report. The description of the Series C Preferred stock does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Articles Supplementary to the Articles of Incorporation designating the Series C Preferred Stock. A copy of the press release announcing the completion of the Merger is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02                                           Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

In connection with the Merger, each of the 15,300 shares of Virginia Heritage Series A Preferred Stock, was exchanged for one share of a Eagle’s Series C Preferred Stock, having substantially equal right, powers and preferences, and which will rank equally with Eagle’s Series B Preferred Stock.

 

Item 5.02                                           Departure of Directors or Certain Executive Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
