(\u201cRPS\u201d), which does business as RPS Plan Administrators and 24HourFlex. RPS provides retirement and health benefits administration for more than 1,000 plans, 48,000 plan participants, 300 COBRA clients, and 10,000 COBRA members, and brings more than 30 years of experience to Alerus\u2019 robust retirement and health benefits services division. RPS is based in Littleton, Colorado, which expands Alerus\u2019 geographic footprint to the Rocky Mountain region.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAlerus is a leading independent provider of retirement and benefit administration services. This transaction represents the company\u2019s eleventh acquisition in the retirements and benefits vertical since 2003 and builds Alerus\u2019 health benefits scale in a consolidating industry. The transaction is expected to be completed December 18, 2020, and will increase Alerus\u2019 assets under administration\/management to approximately $31.5 billion. Terms of the transaction will not be released.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe acquisition of RPS and 24HourFlex is a strategic investment that allows us to add talent and increase market share in the desirable Rocky Mountain region while further strengthening our growing retirement and benefits division,\u201d said Alerus President and Chief Executive Officer Randy Newman. \u201cAlerus is a scaled consolidator and this expansion is in line with our long-term One Alerus growth strategy to expand our national presence and provide diversified financial services to clients across the nation.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAlerus, RPS, and 24HourFlex share complementary business models and core values that focus on client service, industry expertise, and growth, making this a great partnership for both ownership groups,\u201d said Brian Overby, President of Alerus Retirement and Benefits. \u201cIn addition to expanding our footprint, we\u2019re also adding valuable products and talented professionals. We believe there are opportunities to expand products and services to the newly acquired clients in addition to current Alerus clients.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe all-cash transaction is anticipated to be immediately accretive to Alerus\u2019 GAAP earnings per share, adding an estimated $0.08 in 2021 and $0.13 in 2022. Consistent with prior retirement services acquisitions, a substantial portion of the premium paid will be allocated to a customer account intangible and amortized up to 10 years, contributing to a cash-GAAP earnings difference while restoring the tangible equity utilized to complete the acquisition.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nNathan Carlson, president of RPS, and Matt Poppe, principal of RPS, will join Alerus to ensure a seamless transition and guide Alerus\u2019 continued retirement and benefits services growth throughout the region.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cJoining Alerus provides both our employees and clients incredible growth opportunities with a multi-billion-dollar, publicly traded, diversified financial services company,\u201d said Carlson. \u201cWe are excited to combine our industry expertise and regional presence with Alerus to position our employees and clients for long-term success. We are stronger together and we look forward to what the future holds.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Alerus Financial Corporation <\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAlerus Financial Corporation is a diversified financial services company headquartered in Grand Forks, N.D.
