On March 20, 2015, the Bancorp announced that the Bank signed a definitive agreement to acquire Liberty Savings Bank, FSB (“Liberty”), a federally chartered mutual savings association based in Whiting, Indiana, with three branch offices in Lake County Indiana. On July 1, 2015, the Bank successfully completed the acquisition of Liberty by merging Liberty with and into the Bank immediately following Liberty’s voluntary supervisory conversion to stock form. The Bank did not issue or pay any shares, cash, or other consideration in the merger. The Liberty acquisition added assets with fair values of $57.3 million, including securities with a fair market value of $8.1 million, loans receivable with a fair market value of $28.0 million, and premises and equipment with a fair value of $1.3 million. The Liberty acquisition also added liabilities with a fair market value of $57.9 million, including deposits with a fair market value of $56.2 million and an accrued withdrawal liability for the defined benefit plan with a fair market value of $1.5 million.
