SHREVEPORT, La., Oct. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (the \u201cCompany\u201d or \u201cHome Federal Bancorp\u201d) (Nasdaq: HFBL), the holding company of Home Federal Bank, and Northwest Bancshares Corporation (\u201cNorthwest Bancshares\u201d), the holding company of the First National Bank of Benton (\u201cFirst National\u201d), announced today the signing of a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (\u201cMerger Agreement\u201d) pursuant to which the Company will acquire Northwest Bancshares in an all cash acquisition. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, shareholders of Northwest Bancshares will receive their pro rata portion of aggregate merger consideration equal to $4.25 million, plus the sum of 8.0% of total assets of Northwest Bancshares as of the month-end immediately prior to the closing of the merger after giving effect to a special distribution (the \u201cSpecial Distribution\u201d) to be paid, less the amount, if any, that Northwest Bancshares\u2019 total unaccrued and unpaid transaction expenses exceed $125,000. Based on financial data as of August 31, 2022, the parties currently estimate that the aggregate merger consideration will be approximately $10.1 million. In addition to the merger consideration, the Merger Agreement provides that, prior to consummation of the merger, Northwest Bancshares will pay the Special Distribution in cash to its shareholders in an aggregate amount which will reduce the ratio of Northwest Bancshares\u2019 total shareholders\u2019 equity to total consolidated assets to 8.0%. Based on financial data at August 31, 2022, the parties currently estimate that the amount of Special Distribution will be approximately $8.4 million.<\/p>\n

First National currently operates out of one banking location in Benton, Louisiana. As of August 31, 2022, Northwest Bancshares had total consolidated assets of $81.7 million, $52.1 million in total loans, $65.0 million in total deposits and $14.2 million in shareholders\u2019 equity. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, First National will be merged with and into Home Federal Bank promptly following completion of the holding company merger.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst National provides a natural expansion of our franchise within our home market,\u201d said James R. Barlow, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Home Federal Bancorp. \u201cFirst National has developed an exceptional customer base in its market area. We are excited to expand to the Benton community and increase our market share in Bossier Parish. \u201cWe are confident that the products and services we offer will allow us to deepen those valued relationships,\u201d said Barlow.<\/p>\n

\u201cHome Federal Bank has an extremely impressive platform which will allow our customers to enjoy expanded products, services and locations without compromising the high level of customer service they have come to expect,\u201d said John A. Batson, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Northwest Bancshares. He continued, \u201cOur customers and employees are of the upmost importance to us, and we believe merging with Home Federal will provide an excellent opportunity for both.\u201d Justin Whittington, Chairman of the Board of Northwest Bancshares commented, \u201cThis merger will benefit our customers, our community and our shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies.\u00a0The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and Northwest Bancshares\u2019 shareholder approval.<\/p>\n

Home Federal Bancorp anticipates the transaction will be over 20% accretive to earnings per share after cost savings are fully realized, and accretive to tangible book value per share in approximately three years of closing.\u00a0Following the merger, Home Federal Bank\u2019s capital position is expected to remain strong with leverage and total risk-based capital ratios of approximately 8.2% and 14.2%, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Raymond James & Associates, Inc. acted as financial advisor to Home Federal Bancorp\u00a0and\u00a0Silver, Freedman, Taff & Tiernan\u00a0LLP acted as its legal advisor in the transaction. Hillworth Bank Partners rendered a fairness opinion to Home Federal Bancorp. SEACAP Financial, LLC, acted as financial advisor to Northwest Bancshares and\u00a0Butler Snow LLP\u00a0acted as its legal advisor in the transaction.<\/p>\n
