(Nasdaq: CFB) (\u201cCrossFirst\u201d) and Canyon Bancorporation, Inc. (\u201cCanyon\u201d) today announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which CrossFirst and Canyon will consummate a business combination transaction resulting in the mergers of Canyon with and into CrossFirst and Canyon\u2019s bank subsidiary, Canyon Community Bank, N.A. (\u201cCanyon Bank\u201d), merging with and into CrossFirst\u2019s bank subsidiary, CrossFirst Bank (\u201cCFB Bank\u201d), in a stock and cash transaction. Canyon Bank had total loans of $122 million and total deposits of $169 million as of March 31, 2023 and currently operates one banking location in Tucson, Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe combination will bring together complementary banking platforms focused on serving small businesses and the surrounding communities they serve.

We will continue to serve our clients in our local community and be able to offer enhanced technologies, products and services,\u201d said Bo Hughes, Canyon Bank\u2019s President and Chief Executive Officer.<\/p>\n<p>\nCanyon shareholders are expected to receive a combination of cash and CrossFirst common stock as consideration for their shares of Canyon common stock, with an aggregate transaction value estimated at $15.1 million based on the current CrossFirst stock price.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe business combination was approved by the Board of Directors of each company and bank. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2023, subject to approval by bank regulatory authorities, as well as the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\nCrossFirst was advised in this transaction by Raymond James &amp; Associates, Inc. as financial advisor and Stinson LLP as legal counsel. Canyon was advised by Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods, A Stifel Company as financial advisor and Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP as legal counsel.<\/p>\n<p><b>About CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nCrossFirst Bankshares, Inc.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the benefits of the proposed business combination transaction with Canyon and Canyon Bank, including future financial and operating results (including the anticipated impact of the transaction on CrossFirst\u2019s earnings and book value), the consideration payable in connection with the acquisition, statements related to the expected completion and timing of the completion of the business combination, and the combined company\u2019s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Forward-looking statements often, but not always, include words such as \u201cbelieves,\u201d \u201cexpected,\u201d \u201canticipated,\u201d \u201cestimates,\u201d \u201copportunities,\u201d \u201capproximately,\u201d \u201cplans,\u201d \u201cwill\u201d or the negative of these words, variations thereof or other similar words and expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. Because forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those that CrossFirst anticipated in its forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the following: the expected benefits of the acquisition of Canyon and Canyon Bank may not materialize in the timeframe expected or at all, or may be more costly to achieve; the acquisition may not be timely completed, if at all; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the definitive transaction agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against CrossFirst, Canyon or Canyon Bank; prior to the completion of the acquisition or thereafter, CrossFirst\u2019s and Canyon\u2019s respective businesses may not perform as expected due to transaction-related uncertainty or other factors; the parties may be unable to successfully implement integration strategies; required regulatory or other approvals may not be obtained or other closing conditions may not be satisfied in a timely manner or at all; adverse regulatory conditions may be imposed in connection with regulatory approvals of the acquisition; reputational risks and risks relating to the reaction of the companies\u2019 customers or employees to the transaction, including the effects on the ability of CrossFirst to attract or retain customers and key personnel; CrossFirst\u2019s dependence on its management team, including its ability to attract, hire and retain qualified management personnel and diversion of management time on acquisition-related issues; uncertainty and volatility in financial, commodities and other markets; CrossFirst&#8217;s ability to maintain sufficient liquidity and capital; increased capital requirements imposed by banking regulators; changes in the laws, rules, regulations, interpretations or policies relating to financial institutions, banking, consumer protection, securities and tax matters; and disruptions to banking and other financial activity. Such risks, uncertainties and factors could harm CrossFirst\u2019s or Canyon&#8217;s business, financial position, and results of operations, and could adversely affect the timing and anticipated benefits of the proposed acquisition. Additional discussion of these and other risks, uncertainties and factors affecting CrossFirst\u2019s business is contained in CrossFirst\u2019s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the \u201cSEC\u201d), including in CrossFirst\u2019s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and its other filings with the SEC. The reader should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements since the statements speak only as of the date that they are made. Except as required by law, CrossFirst undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or changes in our business, results of operations or financial condition over time.<\/p>\n<p>\nAny annualized, pro forma, projected, and estimated numbers in this document are used for illustrative purposes only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, each of CrossFirst and Canyon disclaims any obligation to revise or publicly release any revision or update to any of the forward-looking statements included herein to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=bwnews&amp;sty=20230421005320r1&amp;sid=flmnd&amp;distro=nx&amp;lang=en\" style=\"width:0;height:0\" \/><span class=\"bwct31415\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"mmgallerylink\"><span id=\"mmgallerylink-phrase\">View source version on businesswire.com: <\/span><span id=\"mmgallerylink-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20230421005320\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20230421005320\/en\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\nMedia Contact:<br \/>\n<br \/>Meggin Nilssen, <i>Chief of Staff<br \/>\n<\/i><br \/><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"mailto:meggin.nilssen@crossfirstbank.com\">meggin.nilssen@crossfirstbank.com<br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>(913) 302-1915<\/p>\n<p>\nInvestor Contact:<br \/>\n<br \/>Heather Worley, <i>Director of Investor Relations<br \/>\n<\/i><br \/><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"mailto:heather@crossfirst.com\">heather@crossfirst.com<br \/>\n<\/a><br \/>(214) 676-4666<\/p>\n<p><b>KEYWORDS:<\/b> Arizona Kansas United States North America<\/p>\n<p><b>INDUSTRY KEYWORDS:<\/b> Banking Professional Services Finance<\/p>\n<p><b>MEDIA:<\/b><\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"3\" cellspacing=\"3\">\n<tr>\n<td><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><b>Logo<\/b><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20230421005320\/en\/1770915\/3\/Bankshares_CenterStackedTwoLine_Logo_Primary.jpg\" alt=\"Logo\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc. to Expand Arizona Franchise with Acquisition of Canyon Bancorporation, Inc. and Canyon Community Bank, N.A.
