CENTRAL VALLEY COMMUNITY BANCORP (NASDAQ:CVCY) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 27, 2017, Central Valley Community Bancorp (NASDAQ: CVCY), a bank holding company headquartered in Fresno, California, its wholly owned subsidiary, Central Valley Community Bank, and Folsom Lake Bank (OTCBB: FOLB), headquartered in Folsom, California, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger (the “Merger Agreement”).

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and approval by Folsom Lake Bank’s shareholders. The Central Valley Community Bancorp and Folsom Lake Bank boards of directors have unanimously approved the transaction, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Central Valley Community Bancorp will acquire Folsom Lake Bank in a stock merger in which the Folsom Lake Bank shareholders will be entitled to receive 0.80 shares of Central Valley Community Bancorp stock per Folsom Lake Bank share. Central Valley Community Bancorp will assume the stock option plan and outstanding stock options of Folsom Lake Bank as part of the transaction.

Central Valley Community Bancorp expects the transaction will be 1.8% dilutive to tangible book value per share initially resulting in tangible book value earnback of less than 2.5 years, 3% accretive to earnings per share in 2018 and an IRR greater than 15%.
The directors and certain executives of Folsom Lake Bank have entered into agreements to which they have committed to vote their shares of Folsom Lake Bank in favor of the acquisition.
