Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, First Personal will merge with and into the Bancorp, with the Bancorp as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). At the time of the Merger, First Personal Bank, an Illinois state chartered commercial bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of First Personal (“First Personal Bank”), will merge with and into Peoples Bank SB, the wholly-owned Indiana state chartered savings bank subsidiary of the Bancorp (“Peoples Bank”), with Peoples Bank as the surviving bank (the “Bank Merger”).

 

The boards of directors of the Bancorp and First Personal, and the stockholders of First Personal, have approved the Merger and the Merger Agreement.
