(\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 increases Alerus\u2019 assets under administration\/management to approximately $31.5 billion. Terms of the transaction are not being released.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe are thrilled to welcome the clients and employees of RPS and 24HourFlex to Alerus,\u201d said Alerus President and Chief Executive Officer Randy Newman. \u201cTheir teams add incredible depth of knowledge to our retirement and benefits division and will further strengthen Alerus\u2019 position in this consolidating industry. This acquisition is illustrative of our long-term One Alerus growth strategy, which focuses on expanding our national presence and providing diversified financial services to clients across the country.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cOur companies share great symmetry, making this a desirable partnership for both ownership groups,\u201d said Brian Overby, President of Alerus Retirement and Benefits. \u201cTogether we are able to provide enhanced services to clients, expand our footprint, and combine our shared industry expertise to benefit the client experience.\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>\nTo ensure a seamless transition, Nathan Carlson, president of RPS, and Matt Poppe, principal of RPS, will join Alerus to help guide its continued retirement and benefits services growth throughout the Rocky Mountain 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.
