Item 9.01 Other Events.

On November 27, 2017, FCB, together with a wholly owned subsidiary of FCB (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Floridian Community Holdings, Inc. (“Floridian Community”), to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Floridian Community (the “Merger”), with Floridian Community, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, becoming wholly owned by FCB. Immediately following the Merger, Floridian Community will merge with and into FCB (the “Parent Merger”), with FCB as the surviving corporation in the Parent Merger. In addition, following the Parent Merger, Floridian Community Bank, a Florida-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of Floridian Community, will merge with and into Florida Community Bank, N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of FCB (“FCB Bank”), with FCB Bank being the surviving bank. The Merger Agreement has been unanimously approved and adopted by the board of directors of each of FCB and Floridian Community.

Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of common stock of Floridian Community (other than shares, if any, as to which statutory appraisal rights have been properly exercised and perfected) will be converted into the right to receive [0.4584] shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of FCB, or a total of approximately 1.7 million shares of FCB Class A common stock in the aggregate. Outstanding stock options to acquire Floridian Community common stock will be cancelled and cashed out at the completion of the Merger for approximately $4 million in the aggregate.

The Merger Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties from both FCB and Floridian Community, and each party has agreed to certain customary covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to (1) the conduct of business during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger, (2) the obligation of Floridian Community to call a meeting of its shareholders to approve the Merger Agreement, and, subject to certain exceptions, to recommend that its shareholders approve the Merger Agreement, and (3) Floridian Community’s obligations not to solicit any potential alternative acquisition proposals and related matters. FCB and Floridian Community have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary consents and approvals of governmental authorities and other third parties required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2018, subject to certain customary closing conditions, including (1) approval of the Merger Agreement by Floridian Community’s shareholders, (2) the receipt of required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, (3) authorization for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the shares of Class A common stock of FCB to be issued in the Merger, (4) effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the Class A common stock of FCB to be issued in the Merger and (5) the absence of any order, injunction, or other specified legal restraint prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Each party’s obligation to complete the Merger is also subject to certain additional customary conditions, including (1) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party, (2) performance in all material respects by the other party of its obligations under the Merger Agreement and (3) receipt by such party of an opinion from its counsel to the effect that the Merger and the Parent Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. FCB and Merger Sub’s obligation to complete the Merger is also subject to the additional condition that the number of shares of common stock of Floridian Community held by shareholders who have properly exercised and perfected their statutory appraisal rights not exceed 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Floridian Community.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated in certain circumstances, including: (i) by mutual written agreement of FCB and Floridian Community; (ii) by either party in the event of a breach by the other party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in the Merger Agreement, which breach is not cured within fifteen days and would entitle the non-breaching party not to consummate the Merger under the conditions in the Merger Agreement, (iii) by either party if the approval of the shareholders of Floridian Community is not obtained, (iv) by either party if any regulatory approval required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement have been denied by final non-appealable action

by the relevant governmental authority, (iv) by either party if the Merger is not consummated on or before August 24, 2018, subject to extension for an additional 90 days in order to obtain pending regulatory approval or elimination of some specified legal restraint, (v) by FCB if Floridian Community’s board of directors fails to recommend (or reconfirm its recommendation) that shareholders approve the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, recommends an alternative acquisition proposal other than the Merger, or negotiates or authorizes negotiations with a third party regarding an acquisition proposal other than the Merger and 10 business days elapse without such negotiations being discontinued, or there is a material breach of Floridian Community’s nonsolicitation and related obligations, (vi) by FCB if the number of shares of common stock of Floridian Community held by shareholders who have properly exercised and perfected their statutory appraisal rights exceeds 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Floridian Community, or (vii)by Floridian Community if the trading price of FCB common stock decreases below a specified range in comparison to the ratio provided in the Merger Agreement and FCB elects not to increase the merger consideration.

The Merger Agreement provides that Floridian Community will pay FCB a termination fee equal to $3.1 million in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated as a result of (i) the board of directors of Floridian Community submitting the Merger Agreement to its shareholders without a recommendation for approval or with material and adverse conditions on such approval, or otherwise withdrawing or materially and adversely modifying its recommendation (or disclosing its intention to do so), (ii) Floridian Community entering into an agreement to engage in an acquisition transaction with any person other than FCB, (iii)Floridian Community authorizing, recommending or proposing an agreement to engage in an acquisition transaction with any person other than FCB (or publicly announcing its intention to do so), (iv) the board of directors of Floridian Community recommending to its shareholders an acquisition transaction other than the Merger, (v)Floridian Community failing to convene a shareholder meeting to approve the Merger Agreement, (vi) Floridian Community breaching its covenant not to solicit alternative acquisition proposals, (vii) any principal shareholder (as defined) of Floridian Community breaching such principal shareholder’s obligations under the Voting Agreement entered into by such principal shareholder in connection with the Merger Agreement (as described below), after being provided with notice of such breach and a 30 day period in which to cure such breach, or (viii) Floridian Community terminating the Merger Agreement as a result of not receiving the required approval of Floridian Community shareholders.

In connection with entering into the Merger Agreement, certain directors, officers and other shareholders of Floridian Community have entered into voting agreements (the “Voting Agreements”), to which each such person has agreed to vote his, her or its shares of Floridian Community common stock in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein. The Voting Agreements generally prohibit the sale or transfer of the shares held by each such person. In addition, certain officers and employees of Floridian Community are concurrently entering into post-closing compensation and non-competition arrangements, to which, among other things, such persons are prohibited from competing with the business conducted by FCB and its subsidiaries that will, in each case, become effective contingent upon and as of the closing of the Merger.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete copies of the Merger Agreement and form of Voting Agreement, which will be filed as exhibits to a subsequent Form 8-K.

The Merger Agreement and the disclosures above concerning the Merger Agreement have been included to provide investors and security holders with certain information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about FCB or Floridian Community or their respective subsidiaries, affiliates or businesses. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of FCB and Merger Sub solely for the benefit of Floridian Community, and representations and warranties of Floridian Community solely for the benefit of FCB and Merger Sub, that were negotiated in connection with the Merger Agreement and used for the purpose of allocating certain risks among the parties. These representations and warranties may be subject to qualifications and limitations contained in confidential disclosures agreed to among the parties, that also may create exceptions to these representations and warranties. Therefore, investors and security holders should not treat them as categorical statements of fact. Moreover, these representations and warranties (i) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be material to investors and security holders; (ii) were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the Merger Agreement; and (iii) are subject to more recent developments. Accordingly, investors and security holders should read the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about FCB that it includes in reports and statements it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
