On June 9, 2017, Centrue merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Midland.  Immediately following the Merger, Merger Sub was dissolved.  As a result of the Merger and subsequent dissolution of Merger Sub, Centrue’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, Centrue Bank, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Midland.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, and after giving effect to the elections made by Centrue stockholders and the proration provisions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (i) each share of Centrue common stock with respect to which a valid election to receive cash consideration was made was converted into the right to receive a combination of $14.2831 in cash and 0.3544 shares of Midland common stock, (ii) each share of Centrue common stock with respect to which a valid election to receive share consideration was made was converted into the right to receive 0.7604 shares of Midland common stock, (iii) each share of Centrue common stock with respect to which a valid election to receive mixed consideration was made was converted into the right to receive a combination of $9.3625 in cash and 0.4943 shares of Midland common stock, and (iv) each share of Centrue common stock with respect to which no valid election was made was converted into the right to receive 0.7604 shares of Midland common stock, in each case, with cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares.  In connection with the Merger, Centrue equity awards vested and were settled in cash at the effective time of the Merger based on a value of $26.75 per share.  Each share of Centrue’s Series B Preferred Stock was converted into the right to receive a share of a newly created series of Series G Preferred Stock of Midland (the “Series G Preferred Stock”), and each share of Centrue’s Series D Preferred Stock was converted into the right to receive a share of a newly created series of Fixed Rate Non-Voting Perpetual Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series H of Midland (the “Series H Preferred Stock”).  In the aggregate, Midland paid approximately $61.0 million and issued 3,219,238 shares of Midland common stock, 181 shares of Series G Preferred Stock and 2,635.5462 shares of Series H Preferred Stock in respect of the outstanding shares of Centrue capital stock.
