Under Item 9.01 of the Original Form 8-K, the Company stated that the financial statements required by Item 9.01(a) and the pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01(b) would be filed by amendment to the Original Form 8-K no later than 71 days after the date on which the Original Form 8-K was required to be filed.  This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (this “Form 8-K/A”) is being filed by the Company with the SEC solely to amend and restate Item 9.01 of the Original Form 8-K to present certain financial statements of WTSB and certain pro forma financial information, which are filed as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
 
Except for this Explanatory Note, the filing of the financial statements and the pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01, and the consent of Weaver and Tidwell, L.L.P., filed herewith as Exhibit 23.1, there are no changes to the Original Form 8-K.
 
Item 9.01

The audited financial statements of WTSB as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, as well as the accompanying notes thereto, are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K/A and are incorporated herein by reference.  The unaudited financial statements of WTSB as of June 30, 2019 and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K/A and are incorporated herein by reference.

The pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01 is filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Form 8-K/A and is incorporated herein by reference.  The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 and the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018 give effect to the Company’s completed acquisition of WTSB, as if such transaction had been completed as of January 1, 2018.  The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the benefits of expected cost savings or opportunities to earn additional revenue and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results.  It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had the Company already acquired WTSB during these periods.
