ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The Reporting Persons are filing this statement on Schedule 13D as a result of entering into a Voting Agreement, dated as of September 2, 2008 (the “Voting Agreement”) with First Merchants Corporation (“First Merchants”) and not in connection with the purchase of additional shares for consideration.
ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On September 2, 2008, Lincoln Bancorp (“Lincoln”) and First Merchants entered into a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Lincoln will be merged with and into First Merchants (the “Merger”). The Merger Agreement provides that upon the effective date of the Merger, each Lincoln shareholder will have the option of receiving
approximately 0.7004 shares of First Merchants common stock or approximately $15.76 in cash for each share of Lincoln stock owned as of the effective date of the merger. However, no more than 3,576,417 shares of First Merchants' common stock and no more than $16,800,000 in cash may be paid to the Lincoln shareholders in the Merger, and there may be re-allocations of cash and stock to certain Lincoln shareholders if either threshold is exceeded. The transaction is expected to be a
tax-free stock exchange for those Lincoln shareholders electing to receive First Merchants common stock. The Merger is expected to close at the end of 2008.
-16-
The Agreement has been approved by the boards of directors of Lincoln and First Merchants. However, it is subject to certain other conditions, including the approval of the shareholders of Lincoln and the approval of regulatory authorities.
The Reporting Persons entered into the Voting Agreement with First Merchants in consideration of the execution by First Merchants of the Merger Agreement and to increase the likelihood that the approval of Lincoln’s shareholders required in connection with the Merger will be obtained. Pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, each Reporting Person agreed to cause all Lincoln
common shares owned by him of record and beneficially, including, without limitation, all shares owned by him individually, all shares owned jointly by him and his spouse, all shares owned by any minor children (or any trust for their benefit), all shares owned by any business of which any of the Reporting Persons who are directors are the principal shareholders (but in each such case only to the extent the Reporting Person has the right to vote or direct the voting of such shares),
(collectively, the "Shares"), to be voted in favor of the merger of Lincoln with and into First Merchants in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement at the annual or special meeting of shareholders of Lincoln called for that purpose. However, each Reporting Person is permitted to vote in favor of certain other acquisition transactions that are submitted for approval by the shareholders of Lincoln subject to certain conditions, including the termination of the
Merger Agreement.
Each of the Reporting Persons further agreed in the Voting Agreement that he would not transfer or permit the transfer of any of the Shares or any interest in the Shares to any other person, trust or entity (other than Lincoln) prior to Lincoln’s annual or special meeting of shareholders called for the purpose of voting on the Merger Agreement without the prior written consent of
First Merchants, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld in the case of a gift or similar estate planning transaction.
The Voting Agreement and obligations of the shareholders under the Voting Agreement terminate contemporaneously with the termination of the Merger Agreement.
If the Merger is consummated, Lincoln will cease to have a separate legal existence and the surviving corporation's board of directors will consist of the current board of directors of First Merchants, except that First Merchants will cause all necessary action to be taken to cause Jerry R. Engle, a current director and executive officer of Lincoln, and another current director of
Lincoln chosen by First Merchants, to be either: (i) nominated for election for a three-year term as a member of the First Merchants’ board of directors at the first annual meeting of the shareholders of First Merchants following the effective time of the Merger or (ii) appointed as a member of the First Merchants board of directors at the next meeting of the First Merchants board of directors following the effective time of the Merger to serve until the first annual meeting of
the shareholders of First Merchants following the effective time of the Merger and then to be nominated for election for a three-year term as a member of the First Merchants board of directors at the first annual meeting of the shareholders of First Merchants following the effective time of the Merger. Upon consummation of the Merger, (1) the articles of incorporation and the bylaws of First Merchants immediately prior to the effective time will be the articles of incorporation and
bylaws of the surviving corporation, and (2) Lincoln’s common shares will be delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market and will become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Other than described above, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals that relate to, or may result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)-(i) of Schedule 13D.
The descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement contained herein are qualified in their entirety by: (i) reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement filed as Exhibit 2 to the Form 8-K filed by First Merchants on September 3, 2008, and (ii) reference to the full text of the Voting Agreement, which is filed with this report as an exhibit.
