Item 7.01Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On December 22, 2017, President Donald Trump signed into law H.R.1, known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” which makes widespread changes to the Internal Revenue Code, including, among other items, a reduction in the federal corporate tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018.  As a result, Old Second Bancorp, Inc., based on currently available information, has preliminarily determined that it expects to record a valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2017, in an estimated range of between $9 million to $11 million.  Our actual valuation allowance may vary materially from the estimated amount due to uncertainties in our preliminary review.

 

The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of Old Second Bancorp, Inc. under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

Item 8.01Other Events.

 

On December 26, 2017, Old Second Bancorp, Inc. announced the signing of a definitive agreement and plan of merger (the “Agreement”) to acquire Greater Chicago Financial Corp. and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, ABC Bank, in an all-cash transaction.  Under the terms of the Agreement, Old Second Bancorp, Inc. will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Greater Chicago Financial Corp. in a transaction valued at approximately $41.1 million.  ABC Bank had total assets of $350.4 million as of September 30, 2017, including $246.3 million of total loans.  The boards of Old Second Bancorp, Inc. and Greater Chicago Financial Corp. unanimously approved the transaction which is subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions, including the approval by the shareholders of Greater Chicago Financial Corp.  A copy of the press release and a summary presentation related to the transaction are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our preliminary conclusion that we will need to record a valuation allowance with respect to our deferred tax assets and the timing and estimated range of such valuation allowance.  Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believes,” “estimated,” “approximately,” “continued,” “should,” “will” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including uncertainties in our preliminary review of, and additional analysis with respect to, the impact of H.R.1., as well as additional risks and uncertainties contained in the “Risk Factors” and forward-looking statements disclosure contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, any or all of which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate. Therefore, we can give no assurance that the results and estimates contemplated in the forward-looking statements will be realized. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should not be construed as a representation by Old Second Bancorp, Inc. or any person that future events, plans, or expectations contemplated by Old Second Bancorp, Inc. will be achieved. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
