Worlds Foremost Bank (WFB), to Synovus Bank, a Georgia state member bank (Synovus).
As previously

The Merger Agreement provides for Sub to merge with and into the Company, causing the Company to become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the Merger).
All regulatory approvals required for the consummation of the Merger and the related transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement,
dated as of April 17, 2017, by and among the Company, WFB, Synovus and Capital One Bank (USA), National Association, a national banking association, have now been received. Pursuant to the FRBs order, the parties cannot close the
