Prudential Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:PBIP) Files An 8-K Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Effective January 1, 2017, Prudential Bancorp, Inc., a
Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company” or “Prudential”),
completed its previously announced merger (the “Merger”) with
Polonia Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Polonia”), to
an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated
as of June 2, 2016. At the effective time of the Merger, Polonia
merged with and into the Company. In addition, Polonia Bank, a
federally chartered savings bank and Polonia’s wholly owned
subsidiary, merged with and into Prudential Saving Bank, a
Pennsylvania-chartered savings bank and the wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, with Prudential Savings Bank as the
surviving bank.
to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger,
each outstanding share of Polonia common stock was converted into
the right to receive, at the election of the Polonia shareholder
(subject to certain conditions, including conditions relating to
pro-ration): (i) 0.7460 of a share of Prudential common stock or
(ii) $11.09 in cash, subject to proration provisions to assure
that, in the aggregate, Polonia shareholders received total
merger consideration that consists of 50% stock and 50% cash. As
a result of Polonia shareholder stock and cash elections and the
related proration provisions of the Merger Agreement, Prudential
issued approximately 1,274,200 shares of its common stock and
approximately $18.9 million in the merger.
The Merger Agreement also provides that options to purchase
Polonia common stock outstanding at the effective time of the
Merger will be exchanged for a cash payment equal to the
difference between the per share cash consideration under the
Merger Agreement and the corresponding exercise price of such
option. Options to acquire an aggregate of 18,818 shares of
Polonia common stock were exchanged for such cash payment. The
Company is also required under the Merger Agreement to make a
cash payment to Polonia shareholders who would otherwise be
entitled to a fractional share of Prudential common stock. The
aggregate payment made by the Company for these fractional shares
was approximately $1,300.00.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Merger
is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated
herein by reference as Exhibit 2.1.
