Item 2
.01            Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Effective January 1, 2019, Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("
Eagle
"), completed its previously announced merger (the "
Merger
") with Big Muddy Bancorp, Inc. ("
BMB
"), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "
Merger Agreement
"), dated as of August 21, 2018, by and among Eagle, Eagle's wholly-owned subsidiary, Opportunity Bank of Montana, a Montana chartered commercial bank ("
Opportunity Bank
"), BMB and BMB's wholly-owned subsidiary, The State Bank of Townsend, a Montana chartered commercial bank ("
SBOT
"). At the effective time of the Merger (the "
Effective Time
"), BMB merged with and into Eagle, with Eagle continuing as the surviving corporation.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, holders of BMB common stock prior to the Effective Time have the right to receive 20.49 shares of Eagle common stock with cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional shares of common stock of Eagle. Each outstanding share of Eagle common stock remains outstanding and is unaffected by the Merger. As a result of the Merger, Eagle issued approximately 996,040 shares of Eagle common stock.
Immediately following the Effective Time, SBOT merged with and into Opportunity Bank, with Opportunity Bank surviving and continuing its corporate existence under the name "Opportunity Bank of Montana." Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Opportunity Bank has agreed to operate the SBOT branches under the brand names Dutton State Bank, Farmers State Bank of Denton and The State Bank of Townsend for a period of three years.
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 is included as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
A copy of the press release issued by Eagle announcing the closing of the Merger is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointme
nt of Certain Officers;
Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which provided that on or prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of Eagle (the "
Eagle Board
") would cause Benjamin G. Ruddy, Director and President of BMB to be appointed to the Eagle Board, effective as of the Effective Time, the Eagle Board (i) increased the size of the Eagle Board from 9 to 10 members and (ii) appointed Benjamin G. Ruddy to serve as a member of the Eagle Board. Mr. Ruddy will serve in the class of directors whose current term will expire at Eagle's 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders when such class directors will next be elected by Eagle's stockholders. Since Mr. Ruddy will be an employee of Opportunity Bank, he will not be entitled to receive additional compensation as a member of the Eagle Board. However, he will be entitled to a monthly travel allowance. Mr. Ruddy has been appointed to serve on the Investment Committee of the Eagle Board.
Other than the Merger Agreement, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Ruddy and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Ruddy was selected as a director. Since the beginning of the last fiscal year there have been no related party transactions between Eagle and Mr. Ruddy that would be reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
