This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the 2nd day of February 2004, by and between SUMMIT BANCSHARES, INC., a Texas corporation and registered bank holding company with its principal offices in Fort Worth, Texas (“Summit BHC”), and ANB FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a Texas corporation and registered bank holding company with its principal offices in Arlington, Texas (“ANBFC”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, ANBFC owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of ANB Delaware Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation and registered bank holding company (“ANB Delaware”);
WHEREAS, ANB Delaware owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Arlington National Bank, a national banking association with its principal offices located in Arlington, Texas (the “Bank”);
WHEREAS, Summit BHC proposes to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of voting common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of ANBFC (the “ANBFC Stock”) and all outstanding and unexercised options to acquire ANBFC Stock (the “ANBFC Options”), through the merger of New ANBFC, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit BHC (“New ANBFC”) with and into ANBFC (the “Merger”);
WHEREAS, Summit BHC and ANBFC believe that the Merger, as provided for and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and all exhibits, schedules and supplements hereto, is in the best interests of Summit BHC, ANBFC and their respective shareholders;
WHEREAS, Summit BHC and ANBFC desire to set forth certain representations, warranties and covenants made by each to the other as an inducement to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and certain additional agreements related to the transactions contemplated hereby; and
WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of Summit BHC and ANBFC have approved this Agreement and the proposed transactions substantially on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth below, Summit BHC and ANBFC undertake, promise, covenant and agree with each other as follows:
ARTICLE I. ACQUISITION OF ANBFC BY SUMMIT BHC
Section 1.01 Merger of New ANBFC with and into ANBFC. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Agreement and Plan of Merger to be entered into between ANBFC and New ANBFC (the “Merger Agreement”), the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, Summit BHC shall cause New ANBFC to be merged with and into ANBFC pursuant to the provisions of Part Five of the Texas Business Corporation Act (the “TBCA”) and with the effect provided in Article 5.06 of the TBCA.
Section 1.02 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Article 5.06 of the TBCA. Following the Merger, ANBFC shall continue as the corporation resulting from the Merger (the “Resulting Corporation”), and the separate corporate existence of New ANBFC shall cease. The name of the Resulting Corporation shall be “ANB Financial Corporation.” The existing offices and facilities of ANBFC immediately preceding the Merger shall be the principal offices and facilities of the Resulting Corporation following the Merger. At the Effective Date, all rights, title and interests to all real estate and other property owned by each of New ANBFC and ANBFC shall be allocated to and vested in the Resulting Corporation without reversion or impairment, without further act or deed, and without any transfer or assignment having occurred, but subject to any existing liens or encumbrances thereon. At the Effective Date, all liabilities and obligations of New ANBFC and ANBFC shall be allocated to the Resulting Corporation, and the Resulting Corporation shall be the primary obligor therefor and no other party to the Merger shall be liable therefor. At the Effective Date (as defined in Section 2.05 of this Agreement), a proceeding pending by or against either New ANBFC or ANBFC may be continued as if the Merger did not occur, or the Resulting Corporation may be substituted in the proceedings.
Section 1.03 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, respectively, of the Resulting Corporation shall be as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Section 1.04 Directors and Officers. The directors and officers, respectively, of the Resulting Corporation shall be as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Section 1.05 Conversion of the ANBFC Stock. At the Effective Date by virtue of this Agreement and without any further action on the part of any holder of ANBFC Stock (“ANBFC Shareholders”) or any holder of ANBFC Options (“ANBFC Optionholders”):
A. All of the shares of ANBFC Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Date and all of the outstanding and unexercised ANBFC Options, shall be converted into the right to receive from Summit BHC the aggregate merger consideration equal to $13,779,000, subject to certain adjustments set forth in Section 1.06, Section 8.10 and Section 8.11 below of this Agreement (the “Merger Consideration”). The Merger Consideration shall be allocated to the ANBFC Shareholders and the ANBFC Optionholders as follows: |
(i) For each share of ANBFC Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Date, an amount (payable as provided in Section 1.11) equal to (a) the |
2
sum of the Merger Consideration plus the aggregate Exercise Price (as defined in Section 3.03 of this Agreement) of all ANBFC Options, divided by (b) the number of shares of ANBFC Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Date, assuming the exercise of all ANBFC Options; and |
(ii) For each ANBFC Option, an amount (payable as provided in Section 1.11) equal to (a) the sum of the Merger Consideration plus the aggregate Exercise Price of all ANBFC Options, divided by (b) the number of shares of ANBFC Stock issued and outstanding as of the Effective Date, assuming the exercise of all ANBFC Options, minus (c) the Exercise Price of such ANBFC Option. |
B. The Merger Consideration shall be payable in cash or other immediately available funds at Closing (as defined in Section 2.01 of this Agreement). |
C. The shares of New ANBFC (the “New ANBFC Stock”) outstanding at the Effective Date shall, at the Effective Date and by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Summit BHC or any other party as holder thereof, be converted into 1,000 shares of common stock of the Resulting Corporation with a par value of $1.00 per share. The authorized number of shares of common stock of the Resulting Corporation shall be the same as the authorized number of shares of New ANBFC Stock immediately prior to the Effective Date. |
D. The shares of the ANBFC Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Date and all outstanding and unexercised ANBFC Options as of the Effective Date shall, by operation of law and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, unless dissenters’ rights under applicable law are being perfected with respect thereto, be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. |
E. In accordance with Section 1.11, each ANBFC Shareholder and each ANBFC Optionholder shall be required to surrender his shares or options to Summit Bank, a national banking association and wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit BHC, which shall act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”), and upon such surrender, each such holder shall be entitled to receive from Summit BHC, the Merger Consideration which such holder is entitled to receive as described in Section 1.05A and Section 1.05B of this Agreement. Until so surrendered, each such outstanding certificate representing shares of ANBFC Stock and ANBFC Options shall be deemed for all purposes, subject only to dissenters’ rights under applicable law, to evidence solely the right to receive such Merger Consideration from Summit BHC. |
F. In addition to the Merger Consideration described in Section 1.05A above and subject to Section 1.05G, each ANBFC Option shall be converted into the right to receive from Summit BHC at the Closing, an amount in cash equal to (A) thirty-four percent (34%) of the aggregate amount of the Merger Consideration payable to the ANBFC Optionholders at the Closing divided by (B) the number of ANBFC Options outstanding and unexercised as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that such amount |
3
payable to each ANBFC Optionholder pursuant to this Section 1.05F shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any federal, state or local taxes that would be required by law to be paid by ANBFC with respect to such payments (prior to giving effect to this subsection (i)), and (ii) the amount of any applicable withholding and salary deductions and any other amounts specifically authorized to be withheld or deducted by such ANBFC Optionholder; |
G. In the event that the ANBFC Shareholders do not approve the Parachute Payments (as defined in Section 1.09A of this Agreement) in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) of the Code as contemplated by Section 1.09A, the payments described in Section 1.05F above, together with any other payments to be made in connection with the Merger that may constitute “excess parachute payments”, shall be limited to the maximum amount that can be paid such that no portion of such payments constitute “excess parachute payments” as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code. |
Section 1.06 Adjustments to Merger Consideration for Certain Payments. The aggregate amount of Merger Consideration payable at the Closing to the ANBFC Shareholders and the ANBFC Optionholders shall be reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, by (i) the amount of any change in control bonuses or similar payments, and the payroll and other employer taxes associated with such payments, paid or payable to X.X. Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx or associated with such payments in connection with the proposed Merger (net of any tax benefit to ANBFC associated therewith), which payments shall be made by ANBFC, (ii) by the amount of any fees paid by ANBFC or the Bank to any broker or investment banker, including without limitation, Service Asset Management Company (“SAMCO”) in connection with the proposed Merger, and (iii) the amount of the legal fees paid by ANBFC in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 1.07 Merger Consideration. Subject to Section 1.10 of this Agreement, the Merger Consideration to be paid to the ANBFC Shareholders and the ANBFC Optionholders shall be delivered at Closing in immediately available funds.
Section 1.08 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 1.09 Shareholders’ Meeting. ANBFC, acting through its Board of Directors, shall, in accordance with applicable law:
A. Duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “Shareholders’ Meeting”) as soon as practicable for the purposes of (i) approving and adopting the Merger and the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and (ii) approving and ratifying the payment of amounts as a result of the cashless exercise of the ANBFC Options and any other payments made in connection with the Merger (sometimes collectively referred to as the “Parachute Payments”), to the extent that such Parachute Payments constitute “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); |
B. Require (i) no greater than the minimum vote of the ANBFC Stock required by applicable law in order to approve the Merger and the Merger Agreement, |
4
and (ii) the requisite vote of the ANBFC Shareholders to approve the Parachute Payments under Section 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) of the Code; |
C. Subject to its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of ANBFC, include in the Proxy Statement (defined in Section 1.09D below) the recommendation of its Board of Directors that the shareholders of ANBFC vote in favor of (i) the approval and adoption of the Merger and the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and (ii) the Parachute Payments; and |
D. Cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the shareholders of ANBFC as soon as practicable, and use its best efforts to obtain (i) the approval and adoption of the Merger and the Merger Agreement by shareholders holding at least the minimum number of shares of ANBFC Stock entitled to vote at the Shareholders’ Meeting necessary to approve the Merger and the Merger Agreement under applicable law, and (ii) the approval and ratification of the Parachute Payments in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) of the Code. The letter to shareholders, notice of meeting, proxy statement and form of proxy to be distributed to shareholders in connection with the Merger and the Merger Agreement shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Summit BHC and are collectively referred to herein as the “Proxy Statement.” |
Section 1.10 Dissenting Shareholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of ANBFC Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date and that are held by ANBFC Shareholders who have not voted such shares in favor of the Merger and who shall have otherwise complied with the terms and provisions of Section 5.12 of the TBCA (each a “Dissenting Shareholder”) shall be entitled to those rights and remedies set forth in Section 5.12 of the TBCA; provided, however, in the event that a ANBFC Shareholder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses any such right or remedy granted by the TBCA, such shares of ANBFC Stock shall be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration specified in Section 1.05 of this Agreement.
Section 1.11 Delivery of Consideration; Exchange of Certificates. The Exchange Agent shall prepare for each holder of one or more certificates representing shares of ANBFC Stock (“Certificates”) and each ANBFC Optionholder, a letter of transmittal for use in exchanging such holder’s Certificates or ANBFC Options for the Merger Consideration. ANBFC shall forward such letters of transmittal to each of the ANBFC Shareholders and ANBFC Optionholders, addressed to the most current address of such ANBFC Shareholders or ANBFC Optionholders according to the records of ANBFC, at least twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date unless ANBFC and Summit BHC shall mutually agree to send such letters at a later date. If a holder of Certificates or ANBFC Options surrenders such Certificates or ANBFC Options and a properly executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, then, on the Closing Date, Summit BHC shall deliver to such holder of Certificates or ANBFC Options the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled under Section 1.05 of this Agreement. If a holder of Certificates or ANBFC Options surrenders such Certificates or ANBFC Options and a properly executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent at any time after five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, then promptly, and in no event later than five (5) business days after receipt of such
5
Certificates or ANBFC Options and letter of transmittal, Summit BHC shall deliver to such holder of Certificates or ANBFC Options the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled under Section 1.05 of this Agreement. If any record shareholder of ANBFC is unable to locate any Certificate evidencing the ANBFC Stock, such shareholder shall submit to the Exchange Agent an affidavit of lost certificate and indemnification agreement in form acceptable to Summit BHC and, if required by Summit BHC, a surety bond in an amount equal to the amount to be delivered to such shareholder, in lieu of such Certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor any other party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of Certificates representing the ANBFC Stock for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. No interest shall be payable with respect to the payment of the Merger Consideration.
Section 1.12 Alternate Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Summit BHC shall be permitted, in its sole discretion, to restructure the proposed acquisition of ANBFC through the merger of a newly formed subsidiary of Summit Bank, Fort Worth, Texas, a national banking association and wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit BHC; provided, however, Summit BHC shall only be permitted to restructure the proposed transaction to the extent that there is no change in the amount or nature of the Merger Consideration to be received by the ANBFC Shareholders and ANBFC Optionholders.

A.

23
qualified or nonqualified, currently effective or terminated), and any trust, escrow or other agreement related thereto, which (a) is currently or has been at any time within the last sixty (60) months, maintained or contributed to by ANBFC or any Subsidiary of ANBFC, or with respect to which ANBFC or any Subsidiary of ANBFC has any liability, or (b) provides benefits, or describes policies or procedures applicable to any officer, employee, service provider, former officer or former employee of ANBFC or any Subsidiary of ANBFC, or the dependents of any thereof, regardless of whether funded or unfunded (herein collectively the “Employee Plans” and each individually an “Employee Plan”). |
B. No Employee Plan is a defined benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA. ANBFC has delivered or made available to Summit BHC true, accurate and complete copies of the documents comprising each Employee Plan and any related trust agreements, annuity contracts, insurance policies or any other funding instruments (“Funding Arrangements”), any contracts with independent contractors (without limitation, actuaries investment managers, etc.) that relate to any Employee Plan, the Form 5500 filed in each of the three (3) most recent plan years with respect to each Employee Plan, and related schedules and opinions, and such other documents, records or other materials related thereto reasonably requested by Summit BHC. There have been no prohibited transactions (described under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975(c) of the Code) breaches of fiduciary duty or any other breaches or violations of any law applicable to the Employee Plans and related Funding Arrangements that would subject Summit BHC, ANBFC or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any taxes, penalties or other liabilities. Each Employee Plan that is represented to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has a current favorable determination letter, does not have any amendments for which the remedial amendment period under Code Section 401(b) has expired, and has been operated in compliance with applicable law, and in accordance with its terms, and all reports, descriptions and filings required by the Code, ERISA or any government agency with respect to each Employee Plan have been timely and completely filed or distributed. Each Employee Plan has been operated in compliance with applicable law or in accordance with its terms and any related trust is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code. There are no pending claims, lawsuits or actions relating to any Employee Plan (other than ordinary course claims for benefits) and, to the best knowledge of ANBFC, none are threatened. No written or oral representations have been made to any employee or former employee of ANBFC or any Subsidiary of ANBFC promising or guaranteeing any employer payment or funding for the continuation of medical, dental, life or disability coverage for such person, their dependent, or any beneficiary for any period of time beyond the end of the current plan year or beyond termination of employment, (except to the extent of coverage required under Section 4980B of the Code). Compliance with FAS 106 will not create any material change to the Financial Statements. Except as required in connection with qualified plan amendments required by tax law changes, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount, of compensation due to any employee, officer, former employee or former officer of ANBFC or any Subsidiary of ANBFC. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.32, there are no contracts or arrangements providing for |
24
payments that will be nondeductible or subject to excise tax under Code Sections 4999 or 280G, nor will Summit BHC be required to “gross up” or otherwise compensate any person because of the limits contained in such Code sections. There are no surrender charges, penalties, or other costs or fees that would be imposed by any person against ANBFC, an Employee Plan, or any other person, including without limitation, an Employee Plan, or any other person, including an Employee Plan participant or beneficiary as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to any insurance, annuity or investment contracts or other similar investment held by any Employee Plan. |
C. With respect to each “employee benefit plan” (as defined in ERISA) maintained or contributed to or required to be contributed to, currently or in the past, by any trade or business with which ANBFC or any Subsidiary of ANBFC is required by any of the rules contained in the Code or ERISA to be treated as a single employer (“Controlled Group Plans”): |
(i) All Controlled Group Plans which are “group health plans” (as defined in the Code and ERISA) have been operated to the Closing such that failures to operate such group health plans in full compliance with Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title 1 of ERISA and Sections 4980B and 4980D of the Code would not subject ANBFC or any Subsidiary of ANBFC to liability; |
(ii) There is no Controlled Group Plan that is a defined benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA), nor has there been in the last five (5) calendar years); and |
(iii) There is no Controlled Group Plan that is a “multiple employer plan” or “multi-employer plan” (as either such term is defined in ERISA), nor has there been since 1974. |
D. ANBFC and each Subsidiary of ANBFC is completely insured for all health insurance claims. No event has occurred or circumstances exist that could result in a material increase in premium costs of Employee Plans that are insured or a material increase in self-insured costs. |
E. All Employee Plan documents, annual reports or returns, audited or unaudited financial statements, actuarial valuations, summary annual reports, and summary plan descriptions issued with respect to the Employee Plans are correct, complete, and current in all material respects, have been timely filed, and there have been no changes in the information set forth therein. |
F. All contributions (including, without limitations, all employer contributions, employee salary reduction contributions and all premiums or other payments (other than claims)) that are due to have been paid to or with respect to each Employee Plan and all contributions (other than claims) for any period ending on or before the Effective Date that are not yet due have been paid to each such Employee Plan. |
25
G. Except for the payments provided for under Section 1.06(i), the payment described in Section 1.05F above, together with any other payments to be made in connection with the Merger shall not constitute “excess parachute payments” as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code. |
Section 3.33 Representations Not Misleading.

Summit BHC shall notify ANBFC prior to any physical inspections of the Property, and ANBFC may place reasonable restrictions on the time of such inspections. If, as a result of any such Environmental Inspection, further investigation (“secondary investigation”) including, without limitation, test borings, soil, water and other sampling is deemed desirable by Summit BHC, Summit BHC shall (i) notify ANBFC of any Property for which it intends to conduct such a secondary investigation and the reasons for such secondary investigation, and (ii) at the sole cost and expense of Summit BHC, commence such secondary investigation, on or prior to March 1, 2004.

B.

Summit BHC agrees to indemnify and hold harmless ANBFC for any claims for damage to property, or injury or death to persons, attributable to the negligent actions of Summit BHC or its agents in performing any Environmental Inspection or secondary investigation except to the extent caused in whole or in part by the negligence of ANBFC, ANBFC Delaware, or the Bank. Summit BHC shall not have |
35
any liability or responsibility of any nature whatsoever for the results, conclusions or other findings related to any Environmental Inspection, secondary investigation or other environmental survey. If this Agreement is terminated, then except as otherwise required by law, reports to any governmental authority of the results of any Environmental Inspection, secondary investigation or other environmental survey shall not be made by Summit BHC. Summit BHC shall make no such report prior to Closing unless required to do so by law, and in such case will give ANBFC reasonable notice of Summit BHC’s intentions. |
C. Summit BHC shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if (i) the factual substance of any warranty or representation set forth in Section 3.22 is not materially true and accurate; (ii) the results of such Environmental Inspection, secondary investigation or other environmental survey are in good faith disapproved by Summit BHC because the environmental inspection, secondary investigation or other environmental survey identifies material violations or potential violations of Environmental Laws; (iii) ANBFC, ANBFC Delaware, or the Bank has refused to allow Summit BHC to conduct an Environmental Inspection or secondary investigation in a manner that Summit BHC reasonably considers necessary; (iv) the Environmental Inspection, secondary investigation or other environmental survey identifies any past or present event, condition or circumstance that would or potentially would require substantial remedial or cleanup action or result in a Material Adverse Change; (v) the Environmental Inspection, secondary investigation or other environmental survey identifies the presence of any underground or above ground storage tank in, on or under any Property that is not shown to be in compliance with all Environmental Laws applicable to the tank either now or at a future time certain, or that has had a release of petroleum or some other Hazardous Material that has not been cleaned up to the satisfaction of the relevant governmental authority or any other party with a legal right to compel cleanup; or (vi) the Environmental Inspection, secondary investigation or other environmental survey identifies the presence of any asbestos-containing material in, on or under any Property, the removal of which would result in a Material Adverse Change. On or prior to March 15, 2004, Summit BHC shall advise ANBFC in writing as to whether Summit BHC intends to terminate this Agreement because Summit BHC disapproves of the results of the Environmental Inspection, secondary investigation or other environmental survey. ANBFC shall have the opportunity to correct any objected to violations or conditions to Summit BHC’s reasonable satisfaction prior to March 31, 2004. In the event that ANBFC fails to demonstrate its satisfactory correction of the violations or conditions to Summit BHC, Summit BHC may terminate the Agreement at any time after March 31, 2004. In the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Section 5.14, Summit BHC shall provide ANBFC with a copy of all inspection reports and surveys upon which Summit BHC has relied to terminate this Agreement. |
