Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 19, 2013, Essex Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Community Bankers Trust Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Community & Southern Bank (“CSB”) relating to the sale of the Bank’s Georgia franchise. The Agreement provides for the sale of the Bank’s four Georgia branch offices and their fixtures and furnishings and the transfer of deposits associated with those offices ($192.3 million at July 31, 2013) to CSB. CSB will pay the Bank $5.2 million for such offices, fixtures and furnishings and an amount equal to 1.33% of the deposits to be transferred. The Bank will not sell to CSB any loans, other than overdraft protection loans associated with the deposits to be transferred.

 

The Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants and customary indemnification, non-competition, non-solicitation and termination provisions. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2013, subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. The deposit premium of 1.33% is subject to good faith renegotiation in the event that the amount of deposits to be transferred decreases to less than $182.3 million at the time of the closing of the transaction.

 

A copy of the Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

The Company issued a press release announcing the Agreement on August 19, 2013. The press release is being filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
