Independent Bank Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:IBTX) Files An 8-K Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Item 2.01.Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

The information set forth in the Introductory Note is incorporated herein by reference.

On January 1, 2019, to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Guaranty merged with and into Independent, with Independent continuing as the surviving entity in the Merger. Immediately after the Merger, Guaranty’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, Guaranty Bank and Trust Company, merged with and into Independent’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, Independent Bank (the “Bank Merger”), with Independent Bank as the surviving entity in the Bank Merger.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Guaranty (except for shares that were owned directly by Independent or Guaranty, subject to certain customary exceptions, which were cancelled in the Merger) was converted into the right to receive 0.45 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”). No fractional shares of Company Common Stock were issued in the Merger, and Guaranty stockholders became entitled to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

In connection with the completion of the Merger, on January 1, 2019, the Company entered into supplemental indentures and assumption letters to which it assumed Guaranty’s obligations as required by the indentures and certain related agreements with respect to Guaranty’s outstanding Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2034 (and Guaranty’s guarantee of certain outstanding trust preferred securities relating thereto), Junior Subordinated Debt Securities due 2033 (and Guaranty’s guarantee of certain outstanding trust preferred securities relating thereto) and 5.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2026, which collectively have an aggregate principal amount of $65.8 million, in each case before related acquisition accounting fair market value adjustments.

The foregoing description of the Merger 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 Independent’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2018, and is incorporated herein by reference.

On December 31, 2018, Mr. Taylor entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) to provide services as a consultant to Independent Bank for a term of six months following the closing of the Merger, which may be extended by mutual written agreement.
