AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF
REORGANIZATION
THIS AGREEMENT AND
PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (this “ Agreement ”) is
made October 21, 2006, by and among St. Joseph Capital
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“ St. Joseph
”), OLD NATIONAL BANCORP, an Indiana corporation (“
Old National ”) and SMS SUBSIDIARY, INC., an Indiana
corporation (“ Merger Sub ”).
A. St. Joseph
is a corporation duly organized and existing under the Delaware
General Corporation Law (“ DGCL ”) that is duly
registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (“ FRB ”) as a bank holding company under
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “
BHC Act ”). St. Joseph owns all of the outstanding
capital stock of St. Joseph Capital Bank, which is duly organized
and existing as a bank under the Indiana Financial Institutions Act
(“ IFIA ”) which operates two banking offices in
Indiana (“ St. Joseph Bank ”).
B. Old
National is a corporation duly organized and existing under the
Indiana Corporation Law (“ IBCL ”) that is duly
registered with the FRB as a bank holding company under the BHC
Act. Old National owns all of the outstanding capital stock of
Merger Sub, which is duly organized and existing as a Indiana
corporation under the IBCL.
C. The
parties desire to effect transactions whereby, in consideration for
the payment of $40.00 per share to the stockholders of St. Joseph
in exchange for their shares of common stock, par value $0.01, of
St. Joseph (“ St. Joseph Common ”), Merger Sub
will be merged with and into St. Joseph and St. Joseph will become
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old National.
In consideration
of the premises and the mutual terms and provisions set forth in
this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
TERMS OF THE MERGER AND
CLOSING
Section 1.01. The Merger . Pursuant to the terms
and provisions of this Agreement, the DGCL, the IBCL, the Plan of
Merger that is hereby adopted under the IBCL and that is attached
hereto as Appendix A (the “ Plan of Merger
”), and the Certificate of Merger to be filed under the DGCL
and attached hereto as Appendix B (the “
Certificate of Merger ”), Merger Sub shall merge with
and into St. Joseph (the “ Merger ”). Merger Sub
shall be the “ Merging Company ” in the Merger
and its corporate identity and existence, separate and apart from
St. Joseph, shall cease upon consummation of the Merger. St. Joseph
shall be the “ Surviving Company ” in the
Merger, and its name shall not be changed pursuant to the
Merger.
Section 1.02. Effect of the Merger . The Merger
shall have all the effects provided by the IBCL.
- 1 -
Section 1.03. The Merger – Conversion of
Shares .
(a) At the
time of filing with the Indiana Secretary of State of appropriate
Articles of Merger and of the filing with the Delaware Secretary of
State of the Certificate of Merger, or at such later time as shall
be specified by such Indiana Articles of Merger and Delaware
Certificate of Merger (the “ Effective Time ”),
all of the shares of St. Joseph Common that immediately prior to
the Effective Time are issued and outstanding (other than
Dissenting Shares, as defined in Section 1.03(d) that
are covered by a proper demand for fair value) shall, by virtue of
the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders
thereof, be converted into the right to receive forty dollars and
no cents ($40.00) per share, without interest. Such cash
consideration per share is hereafter referred to as the “
Merger Consideration .”
(b) At the
Effective Time, each of the outstanding shares of St. Joseph
Common, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part
of the holders thereof, shall no longer be outstanding and shall be
canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of
any certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the
Effective Time represented outstanding shares of St. Joseph Common
(“ Certificates ”) shall thereafter cease to
have any rights with respect to such shares, except the right of
such holders to receive, without interest, the Merger Consideration
upon the surrender of such Certificate or Certificates in
accordance with Section 1.07 .
(c) At the
Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $1.00 per
share, of the Merging Company issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged
for one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share
of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving
Company (the “ Survivor Shares ”) which shall
constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of
the Surviving Company after the Effective Time.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of St. Joseph
Common issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time that are held by any holder who is entitled to demand and
properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to the
provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (“
Section 262 ”), and who complies in all respects
with Section 262 (“ Dissenting Shares ”),
shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger
Consideration as provided in Section 1.03(a) , but
instead such holder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value
per share of such shares in accordance with the provisions of
Section 262. At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall no
longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall
cease to exist, and each holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to
have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive
the fair value of such shares in accordance with the provisions of
Section 262. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder
shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose
the right to appraisal under Section 262 or a court of
competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not
entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then the right
of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s
Dissenting Shares under Section 262 shall cease, such
Dissenting Shares shall no longer be deemed Dissenting Shares and
each such Dissenting Share shall be deemed to have been converted
at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to
receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, as provided in
Section 1.03(a) . St. Joseph shall deliver prompt
written notice to Old National of any demands for appraisal of any
shares of St. Joseph Common,
- 2 -
and Old
National shall have the right to participate in and direct all
negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to
the Effective Time, St. Joseph shall not, without the prior written
consent of Old National, make any payment with respect to, or
settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of
the foregoing.
Section 1.04. Treatment of Stock Options
.
(a) Immediately
prior to the Effective Time, all unvested rights under any stock
option granted by St. Joseph (“ St. Joseph Stock
Options ”) pursuant to St. Joseph’s 1996 Stock
Incentive Plan (the “ St. Joseph Option Plan ”),
that remain outstanding and unexercised, other than the unvested
St. Joseph Stock Options held by John W. Rosenthal, shall (subject
to consummation of the Merger) become fully vested.
(b) At the
Effective Time, all rights under any stock option granted by St.
Joseph pursuant to the St. Joseph Option Plan that remain
outstanding and unexercised, immediately prior to the Effective
Time, other than the options referenced in
Section 1.04(c) and 1.04(d) below (“
Unexercised Options ”), shall cease to represent a
right to acquire shares of St. Joseph Common and shall be converted
into the right to receive cash in an amount (less any applicable
withholding taxes) equal to (i) the remaining number of shares
of St. Joseph Common subject to the original option, multiplied by
(ii) the Merger Consideration minus the applicable exercise
price of the original option (with such calculation used for each
individual option).
(c) At the
Effective Time, all rights under the St. Joseph Stock Option
granted as part of Grant No. 35 to Alex Strati (representing
900 shares of St. Joseph Common Stock) and Amy Mauro (representing
1,000 shares of St. Joseph Common Stock) pursuant to the St. Joseph
Option Plan that become vested pursuant to
Section 1.04(a) above, shall be cancelled effective as
of the Effective Time and shall contemporaneously be replaced with
a fully-vested option to purchase registered Old National Common
Stock under the Old National stock option plan (“ Old
National Replacement Options ”) in an amount and at an
exercise price determined in this Section 1.04(c) and
otherwise subject to the same terms and conditions of the
agreements evidencing the original grants of such options. The
adjustments provided in this Section 1.04(c) with respect to
Old National Replacement Options shall be and is intended to be
effected in a manner which is consistent with Section 424(a) of the
Code, and the regulations issued thereunder. The duration and other
terms of the Old National Replacement Options shall be the same as
the original option except that all references to St. Joseph shall
be deemed to be references to Old National.
(d) At the
Effective Time, all rights under the St. Joseph Stock Option
granted to John W. Rosenthal as part of Grant No. 42
(representing 20,440 shares of St. Joseph Common Stock) pursuant to
the St. Joseph Option Plan that are not vested immediately prior to
the Effective Time, shall be cancelled effective as of the
Effective Time and shall contemporaneously be replaced with an
unvested option to purchase registered Old National Common Stock
under the Old National stock option plan (“ Unvested Old
National Replacement Options ”) in an amount and at an
exercise price determined in Section 1.04(c) (i.e., in
a manner which is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code and
the regulations issued thereunder) and otherwise subject to the
same remaining vesting schedule, terms and conditions of the
agreements evidencing the original grants of such
options.
- 3 -
Section 1.05. Restricted Stock Awards . All
then-outstanding shares of St. Joseph Common that have been issued
by St. Joseph as compensatory awards, subject to restrictions
specified by the award grant documents (“ Restricted Stock
Awards ”), shall (subject to consummation of the Merger)
be deemed to be unrestricted, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable shares of St. Joseph Common as of the close of
business on the day before the Closing Date, and the holders of
such Restricted Stock Awards shall therefore be entitled to receive
the Merger Consideration on the same terms and conditions as other
holders of St. Joseph Common.
Section 1.06. The Closing . The closing of the
Merger (the “ Closing ”) shall take place on the
Closing Date described in Section 1.08 of this
Agreement, and at such time and at such place as the parties may
determine.
Section 1.07. Exchange Procedures; Surrender of
Certificates .
(a) Old
National shall appoint an agent for accepting on behalf of Old
National the surrender of Certificates formerly representing St.
Joseph Common in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration
pursuant to the Merger (the “ Exchange Agent
”).
(b) On or
prior to the Closing Date, Old National shall deposit, or shall
cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of
the holders of record of the Certificates (each a “
Holder ”; and collectively, “ Holders
”) upon the surrender of such Certificates in accordance with
this Article I , the aggregate amount of cash payable
hereunder as Merger Consideration (without any interest thereon)
(the “ Exchange Fund ”).
(c) As
promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Old National
shall send or cause to be sent to each Holder, transmittal
materials for use in exchanging such Holder’s Certificates
for the Merger Consideration per share (which shall specify that
delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the
Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such
Certificates to the Exchange Agent). Old National shall cause the
Merger Consideration which such Holder shall be entitled to receive
to be paid to such Holder upon delivery of the Certificates to the
Exchange Agent, together with the transmittal materials, duly
executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto.
No interest will accrue or be paid on any such cash to be paid upon
such delivery. If any cash payment is to be made in a name other
than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor
is registered, it shall be a condition of such payment that the
Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other
taxes required by reason of the making of such cash payment in a
name other than that of the registered Holder of the Certificate
surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of Old National
and the Exchange Agent that any such taxes have been paid or are
not applicable.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither of the Exchange Agent, any of the parties
hereto nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be liable to
any former Holder for any amount properly delivered to a public
official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or
similar Laws. “ Law ” shall mean any code, law
(including common law), ordinance, regulation, rule, or statute
applicable to a Person or its assets, liabilities, or business,
including those promulgated, interpreted, or enforced by any
Governmental Authority.
- 4 -
(e) If any
Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the
making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such
Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Old
National or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a
bond in such reasonable amount as Old National or the Exchange
Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made
against it with respect to such Certificate, Old National or the
Exchange Agent shall, in exchange for the shares of St. Joseph
Common represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate,
pay or cause to be paid the amounts of Merger Consideration
payable, if any, in respect of the shares of St. Joseph Common
formerly represented by such Certificate pursuant to this
Agreement.
(f) Any
portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Holders
of Certificates for six months after the Effective Time shall be
returned to Old National (together with any earnings in respect
thereof). Any Holders of Certificates who have not theretofore
complied with this Section 1.07 shall thereafter be
entitled to look only to Old National for payment of the
consideration deliverable in respect of each share of St. Joseph
Common such Holder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement,
without any interest thereon.
(g) The
Exchange Agent and Old National shall be entitled to deduct and
withhold from the Holder any cash amounts payable, pursuant to this
Agreement, as the Exchange Agent or Old National, as the case may
be, is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any
provision of state, local or foreign tax Law, with respect to the
