(“Alpine”) to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October16, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Midland, Peak Midland Acquisition, LLC (“Merger Sub”), and Alpine. Alpine was merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Midland. As a result of the Merger, Alpine’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, Alpine Bank& Trust Co., became a wholly owned subsidiary of Midland.
At the effective time of the Merger, each share of Alpine common stock was converted into the right to receive a combination of $3.94 in cash and 0.5282 shares of Midland common stock, with cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares. In the aggregate, Midland paid $33,306,000 and issued 4,463,200 shares of Midland common stock in respect of the outstanding shares of Alpine common stock.
