Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Entry into Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Integrity Bancshares, Inc.

On November 28, 2017, Independent Bank Group, Inc. (“Independent”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with Integrity Bancshares, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Integrity”), pursuant to which Integrity would merge with and into Independent and Independent would continue as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). Subsequent to the Merger, Independent would merge Integrity Bank, SSB, a Texas state savings bank and wholly owned subsidiary of Integrity, with and into Independent Bank, a Texas state banking association and wholly owned subsidiary of Independent, with Independent Bank continuing as the surviving bank.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Independent will issue an aggregate of 2,072,131 shares of Independent common stock and pay up to an aggregate of $31.6 million in cash to the shareholders of Integrity and holders of options to purchase Shares of Integrity common stock. The cash portion of the merger consideration would be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent that Integrity’s tangible equity on the fifth business day preceding the closing date is less than $84,000,000. If Integrity’s tangible equity on the fifth business day preceding the closing date is greater than $84,000,000, Integrity would be permitted to pay a pre-closing cash distribution to its shareholders equal to the amount by which its tangible equity on that day exceeds $84,000,000.

Independent anticipates that the Merger will be consummated during the second quarter of 2018 (although delays could occur), subject to the effectiveness of Independent’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 registering the offer and sale of Independent shares in the Merger, which registration statement will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the receipt of bank regulatory approvals, approval of Integrity’s shareholders, and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. The Merger has been approved by the Boards of Directors of Independent and Integrity.

The foregoing summary of the terms of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Independent issued a press release on November 28, 2017, to announce the proposed Merger, a copy of which press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

In accordance with the General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, which is furnished herewith pursuant to and relate to Item 7.01, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act. The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 hereto shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing or other document filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing or document.

Special Note Regarding the Agreement

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and other terms, provisions and conditions that Independent and Integrity made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those terms, provisions and conditions were made solely for purposes of the Agreement, and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by parties to the Agreement in connection with negotiating the terms contained in this Agreement. Moreover, the parties to the Agreement may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality in the Agreement that may be different from what may be viewed as material to shareholders of Independent or Integrity or may have been used by the parties for the purpose of allocating risk between Independent, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, and Integrity, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, rather than for the purpose of establishing matters as facts. For the foregoing reasons, no one should rely on such representations, warranties, covenants or other terms, provisions or conditions as statements of factual information regarding Independent or Integrity at the time they were made or otherwise.
