First Busey had received approval of the Merger from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, which was contingent on First Busey receiving all other regulatory approvals, including approval from the bank regulators of the bank merger, which now have been received. The Merger is anticipated to be completed on July 2, 2017, and remains subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
At a date following the completion of the Merger, First Busey intends to merge First Community Financial Bank, First Community’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, with and into Busey Bank, First Busey’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, with Busey Bank as the surviving bank (the “Bank Merger”).
