CAPITAL BANK FINANCIAL CORP. (NASDAQ:CBF) Files An 8-K Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Item 5.03. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Effective November 30, 2017, to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Capital Bank Financial, with Capital Bank Financial as the surviving corporation in the Merger. Immediately after the Merger, Capital Bank Financial merged with and into First Horizon, with First Horizon as the surviving corporation in the Second Step Merger. Following the Mergers, Capital Bank merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving entity in the Bank Merger.

Under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Capital Bank Financial’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock (together, “Capital Bank Financial Common Stock”) was converted into the right to receive either $40.573 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) or 2.1732 shares of First Horizon’s Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration” and together with the Cash Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”), at the election of the holder of such share of Capital Bank Financial Common Stock, subject to procedures applicable to oversubscription and undersubscription for Cash Consideration set forth in the Merger Agreement. The aggregate amount of Cash Consideration will equal $410,535,300, with approximately 10,118,435 shares of Capital Bank Financial Common Stock being converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and the remaining shares being converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration. Based on initial results of Capital Bank Financial stockholder elections of Merger Consideration, the Cash Consideration is oversubscribed. Accordingly, it is currently expected the Capital Bank Financial stockholders who validly elected to receive the Cash Consideration will receive approximately 46% of the Merger Consideration payable to them in cash and 54% in the form of First Horizon Common Stock. Capital Bank Financial stockholders who validly elected to receive the Stock Consideration or made no election will receive the Merger Consideration payable to them solely in the form of First Horizon Common Stock (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares). The exchange agent for the Merger is required to effect the final allocation of the Merger Consideration by December 7, 2017.

In addition, at the Effective Time, each outstanding option granted by Capital Bank Financial to purchase shares of Capital Bank Financial Common Stock (a “Capital Bank Financial Stock Option”) fully vested (to the extent unvested) and was assumed, on the same terms and conditions, by First Horizon and converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of First Horizon Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) that equals the product of (A) the number of shares of Capital Bank Financial Common Stock subject to such Capital Bank Financial Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) 2.1732 (the “Exchange Ratio”), at an exercise price per share of First Horizon Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient of (A) the exercise price per share of Capital Bank Financial Common Stock of such Capital Bank Financial Stock Option divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio. Each restricted share of Capital Bank Financial that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Cash Consideration, less applicable tax withholdings.

The foregoing description of the Transaction and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Capital Bank Financial’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 5, 2017 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Capital Bank Financial has also requested the NASDAQ to file a notification of removal from listing of Capital Bank Financial’s Class A Common Stock on Form 25 with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Additionally, Capital Bank Financial intends to file with the SEC certifications on Form 15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) to request the deregistration of the Capital Bank Financial Common Stock under the Exchange Act and the suspension of Capital Bank Financial’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable.
