Item

Under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the "

At the Effective Time, each outstanding restricted share award in respect of shares of Community First Common Stock (each, a
"Community First Restricted Share Award") granted under Community First's equity-based compensation plan became fully vested and was cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Community First Common Stock underlying each Community First Restricted Share Award.
All shares of
Reliant Common Stock which were outstanding prior to the Merger were unaffected by the Merger.
The foregoing description of the Mergers 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 Community First's current report on Form 8-K filed on August 23, 2017 and is incorporated by reference herein.
