INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

ITEM 2.01.  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
 
Effective September 30, 2017, State Bank and Trust Company ("State Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Bank Financial Corporation (the "Company"), completed its previously announced merger with AloStar Bank of Commerce (“AloStar”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 15, 2017 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, State Bank, State Bank Interim Corp. ("Merger Sub"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Bank, and AloStar. At the closing, (a) Merger Sub merged with and into AloStar, with AloStar as the surviving bank, and (b) immediately thereafter, AloStar merged with and into State Bank, with State Bank as the surviving bank (collectively, the "Merger").
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, State Bank acquired all of AloStar's outstanding shares of common stock in an all-cash transaction. The merger consideration equaled one times AloStar's Tangible Book Value (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as of August 31, 2017, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The merger consideration resulted in an aggregate cash payment to AloStar's shareholders of approximately $197.6 million. Each share of the Company's common stock will remain outstanding and be unaffected by the merger.
The foregoing 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 as Exhibit 2.1. A copy of the press release announcing the completion of the Merger is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
