Capital Bancorp, Inc. ("CBNK” or “Capital") (NASDAQ: CBNK) today
announced the completion of its previously announced merger with
Integrated Financial Holdings, Inc. (“IFHI”) (OTCQX: IFHI). At the
effective time of the merger, IFHI merged with and into Capital,
with Capital continuing as the surviving corporation. The
transaction is expected to create a best-in-class nationwide leader
in government guaranteed lending across both U.S. Department of
Agriculture (“USDA”) and U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”)
lending. The transaction will also create opportunities to scale
Windsor Advantage, one of the nation’s largest SBA Lender Service
Providers, which currently services approximately $2.5 billion in
loans across SBA and USDA.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement,
each holder of IFHI’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share
(“IFHI Common Stock”) was converted into the right to receive (a)
1.115 shares of common stock of Capital (“Capital Common Stock”);
and (b) $5.36 in cash per share of IFHI Common Stock, in addition
to cash in lieu of fractional shares. Each share of IFHI Common
Stock subject to vesting, repurchase or other lapse restriction
that was unvested or contingent and outstanding immediately prior
to the effective time fully vested and was cancelled and converted
automatically into the right to receive merger consideration in
respect of each such share of IFHI Common Stock underlying such
restricted stock award. In addition, each stock option granted by
IFHI to purchase shares of IFHI Common Stock, whether vested or
unvested, outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, was
assumed by Capital and converted into an equivalent option to
purchase Capital Common Stock, with the same terms and conditions
as applied to the IFHI stock option.
Continuing to Build a Diversified Commercial Bank and a
Nationwide Leader in Government Guaranteed Lending
The pro forma organization will have
approximately $3 billion in assets, robust pro forma capital ratios
and strong pro forma capital generation, allowing it to participate
in the substantial lending opportunities that exist within the
fast-growing renewable energy industry. Pro forma, approximately
70% of Capital’s net income will be from commercial banking with
approximately 38% of Capital’s loan portfolio consisting of C&I
and owner-occupied commercial real estate loans. Approximately 20%
of the pro forma revenue is generated from fee revenue, further
diversifying Capital’s revenue stream.
“This transaction adds additional lines of
business to Capital Bank where we believe we can create substantial
value and serve large, growing national markets. We continue to
build a highly diversified business model that we believe will
generate best-in-class returns for our shareholders” said Ed Barry,
Chief Executive Officer of Capital Bank.
Marc McConnell Appointed to the Board of
Directors of Capital Bancorp, Inc. and Capital Bank,
N.A.

Inc. and Capital Bank, N.A. Mr. McConnell has served as Chairman of

“I am thrilled to join the board of Capital and
