(1) The maximum number of shares of F.N.B. Corporation common stock estimated to be issuable upon the completion of the proposed merger of OBA Financial Services, Inc. with and into F.N.B. Corporation. This number is based on (a) the number of shares of OBA Financial Services, Inc. common stock estimated to be outstanding, or reserved for issuance under various equity-based compensation plans as of June [    ], 2014, and the exchange of each such share for 1.781 shares of F.N.B. Corporation common stock pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 7, 2014, between F.N.B. Corporation and OBA Financial Services, Inc. (the “merger agreement”), and (b) 8,300 shares of F.N.B. Corporation common stock estimated to be payable to five executive officers of OBA Financial Services, Inc. on the closing date of the merger pursuant to certain executive compensation proposals delivered under the merger agreement.
(2) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee required by Section 6(b) of the Securities Act and computed pursuant to Rules 457(f)(1) and 457(c) under the Securities Act. Pursuant to Rule 457(f)(1) under the Securities Act, the proposed maximum aggregate offering price of the registrant’s shares of common stock was calculated in accordance with Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act based upon the market value of the shares of OBA Financial Services, Inc. common stock to be cancelled and exchanged for the registrant’s shares of common stock in connection with the proposed merger as follows: the product of (i) 4,374,902, the maximum possible number of shares of OBA Financial Services, Inc. common stock which may be cancelled and exchanged in the proposed merger, and (ii) $21.58, the average of the high and low prices for a share of OBA Financial Services, Inc. common stock reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market on June 12, 2014.
(3) Determined in accordance with Section 6(b) of the Securities Act at a rate equal to $128.80 per $1,000,000 of the proposed maximum offering price.

 

 

The Registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the Registration Statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.

PRELIMINARY—SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JUNE 16, 2014

MERGER PROPOSAL—YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

 

 

Dear OBA Financial Services, Inc. Shareholders:

We cordially invite you to attend a special meeting of shareholders of OBA Financial Services, Inc. to be held at the OBA Bank Building Community Room, 20300 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown, Maryland, at [                    ] (Eastern time) on [                    ], 2014. At the special meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve a merger agreement which provides for the merger of OBA with and into F.N.B. Corporation, a Florida corporation with its principal place of business in Hermitage, Pennsylvania, as well as to vote upon a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies on the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, and a proposal to approve a non-binding advisory resolution approving certain compensation payable to the named executive officers of OBA in connection with the merger.

If the proposed merger is completed, OBA’s shareholders will receive in exchange for each share of OBA common stock 1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of the merger agreement. F.N.B.’s and OBA’s common stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Capital Market, respectively, under the trading symbols “FNB” and “OBAF,” respectively. The closing sales prices of F.N.B. common stock and OBA common stock on [                    ], 2014, the last practicable trading day prior to the mailing of this document, were $[            ] and $[            ], respectively. The equivalent value of the stock consideration to be paid in the merger for each share of OBA common stock, calculated by multiplying the [            ], 2014 closing price of OBA common stock by the 1.781 exchange ratio, would be $[            ]. The market prices for both F.N.B. common stock and OBA common stock will fluctuate prior to the merger. We urge you to obtain current market quotations for both F.N.B. common stock and OBA common stock.

F.N.B. and OBA cannot complete the proposed merger unless OBA shareholders vote to approve the merger agreement and the merger at the special meeting. This letter is accompanied by OBA’s proxy statement, which OBA is providing to solicit your proxy to vote for approval of the merger agreement and the merger at the meeting. The accompanying document is also being delivered to OBA’s shareholders as F.N.B.’s prospectus for its offering of F.N.B. common stock to OBA’s shareholders in the merger.

OBA’s board of directors has determined that the merger agreement and the merger are in the best interests of OBA and its shareholders, has unanimously approved the merger agreement and the merger and unanimously recommends that OBA’s shareholders vote FOR the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, FOR the proposal to adjourn the OBA special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the merger agreement and the merger, and FOR the proposal to approve a non-binding advisory resolution approving certain compensation payable to the named executive officers of OBA in connection with the merger.

This proxy statement/prospectus provides you with detailed information about the proposed merger. It also contains or references information about F.N.B. and OBA and related matters. You are encouraged to read this document carefully. In particular, you should read the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page [16] for a discussion of the risks you should consider in evaluating the proposed merger and how it will affect you.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, please take the time to vote by completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card. If you do not vote in person or by proxy, the effect will be a vote against the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger.

I look forward to seeing you at the special meeting and I appreciate your continued support.

Sincerely,

Charles E. Weller

President and Chief Executive Officer

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER AND OUR SPECIAL MEETING

 

Q. What is the merger?

 

A. F.N.B. and OBA have agreed to enter into a merger. The purpose of the merger is to combine the businesses and operations of OBA with that of F.N.B. In the merger, OBA will be merged with and into F.N.B., the separate corporate existence of OBA will cease, and F.N.B. will be the surviving corporation. The merger agreement described in this proxy statement/prospectus contains the terms and conditions which must be satisfied to complete the merger. A copy of the merger agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix A.

In order to complete the combination of their businesses, F.N.B. and OBA also agreed that their principal operating subsidiaries should merge with each other. Once the merger between F.N.B. and OBA is completed, OBA Bank, the bank subsidiary of OBA, will merge with and into First National Bank of Pennsylvania, the bank subsidiary of F.N.B. As a result of this bank merger, the separate corporate existence of OBA Bank will cease, and First National Bank of Pennsylvania will continue as the surviving bank.

 

Q. Why am I receiving this document?

 

A. The merger of OBA into F.N.B. cannot occur unless OBA shareholders vote to approve the merger. OBA will hold a special meeting of its shareholders to obtain this approval. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the merger, the merger agreement, the special meeting of OBA shareholders and other related matters. You should read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully. The enclosed voting materials for the special meeting allow you to vote your shares of OBA common stock without attending the special meeting.

We are delivering this proxy statement/prospectus to you as both a proxy statement of OBA and a prospectus of F.N.B. It is a proxy statement because the OBA Board of Directors is soliciting proxies from OBA shareholders to vote on the approval of the merger at a special meeting of shareholders, and your proxy will be used at the special meeting or at any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting. It is a prospectus because F.N.B. will issue shares of its common stock to OBA shareholders in exchange for their shares of OBA common stock upon completion of the merger.

 

Q. What items of business will we ask our shareholders to consider at our special meeting?

 

A. At our special meeting, we will ask our shareholders to vote in favor of approval of the merger agreement and the merger of OBA with and into F.N.B. We sometimes refer to this proposal as the “merger proposal” in this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, our shareholders will be asked to vote in favor of a proposal to adjourn our special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if we have not received sufficient votes to approve the merger proposal at the time of our special meeting. We sometimes refer to this proposal as the “adjournment proposal” in this proxy statement/prospectus. Lastly, we will ask our shareholders to cast an advisory (non-binding) vote on the compensation payable to the named executive officers of OBA in connection with the merger. We sometimes refer to this proposal as the “compensation proposal” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

 

Q. What will I receive in exchange for my OBA common stock if the merger is completed?

 

A. Upon completion of the merger of OBA with and into F.N.B., you will have the right to receive 1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock in exchange for each share of OBA common stock you own. F.N.B. will pay cash in lieu of issuing fractional shares of F.N.B. common stock.

 

Q. What does the OBA Board of Directors recommend?

 

A. The OBA Board of Directors has unanimously determined that the merger is fair to you and in your and OBA’s best interests and unanimously recommends that you vote FOR approval of the merger proposal, FOR approval of the adjournment proposal and FOR approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the compensation proposal.

 

1


Table of Contents

In making this determination, the OBA Board of Directors considered the opinion of Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc., our independent financial advisor, whom we refer to as Sterne Agee, as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration you will receive pursuant to the merger agreement. The OBA Board of Directors also reviewed and evaluated the terms and conditions of the merger agreement and the merger with the assistance of our independent legal counsel.

 

Q. What was the opinion of our financial advisor?

 

A. Sterne Agee presented an opinion to the OBA Board of Directors to the effect that, as of April 7, 2014, and based upon the assumptions Sterne Agee made, the matters it considered and the limitations on its review as set forth in its opinion, the merger consideration provided for in the merger agreement is fair to you from a financial point of view.

 

Q. When do you expect to complete the merger?

 

A. If our shareholders approve the merger, we anticipate that we will be able to complete the merger in September 2014. However, we cannot assure you when or if the merger will occur. Our ability to complete the merger is subject to other factors that are outside of our control, such as the approval of the merger by the banking regulators.

 

Q. What happens if the merger is not completed?

 

A. If the merger is not completed, holders of OBA common stock will not receive any shares of F.N.B. common stock, cash or any other consideration in exchange for their shares. OBA will remain an independent public company and its common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market, which we refer to as the NASDAQ.

 

Q. Why am I being asked to cast an advisory (non-binding) vote to approve the compensation payable to certain OBA officers in connection with the merger?

 

A. The SEC, in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, adopted rules that require OBA to seek an advisory (non-binding) vote with respect to certain payments that will or may be made to OBA’s named executive officers in connection with the merger.

 

Q. What will happen if OBA shareholders do not approve the compensation proposal at the special meeting?

 

A. Approval of the compensation payable to the named executive officers of OBA in connection with the merger is not a prerequisite to completion of the merger. The vote with respect to the compensation payable to named executive officers in the merger is an advisory vote and will not be binding on OBA (or the combined company that results from the merger) regardless of whether the merger is approved. Accordingly, since the compensation to be paid to certain of the OBA executives in connection with the merger is contractual, such compensation will be payable if the merger is completed regardless of the outcome of the advisory vote.

 

Q. When and where is the OBA special meeting?

 

A. The OBA special meeting will be held at the OBA Bank Building Community Room, 20300 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown, Maryland 20876, on [            ], [        ] at [        ] Eastern time.

 

Q. Who can vote at the OBA special meeting?

 

A. Holders of shares of OBA common stock, par value $0.01 per share, as of the close of business on [                    ], 2014, which is referred to as the record date, are entitled to vote at the OBA special meeting. Beneficial owners of OBA common stock as of the record date will receive instructions from their bank, broker or other intermediary describing how to vote their shares.

Table of Contents

As provided in Section D of Article 5 of OBA’s Articles of Incorporation, record holders who beneficially own in excess of 10% of the outstanding shares of OBA’s common stock are not entitled to vote any shares held in excess of the 10% limit. Subject to certain exceptions, a person is deemed to beneficially own shares owned by an affiliate of, as well as by persons acting in concert with, such person. The Board of Directors of OBA is authorized to construe and apply the provisions of Section D of Article 5 of the Articles of Incorporation, and to make all determinations it deems necessary or desirable to implement them, including determining the number of shares beneficially owned by any person, requiring certain information be provided by any person who is reasonably believed to beneficially own stock in excess of the 10% limit, and demanding reimbursement for all expenses incurred by OBA in connection with an investigation conducted by the Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of Article 5, Section D.

 

Q. What is the quorum requirement for the OBA special meeting?

 

A. The presence, in person or by proxy of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at our special meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for all matters voted on at the OBA special meeting.

 

Q. What vote is required to approve each proposal at the OBA special meeting?

 

A. The merger proposal requires approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of OBA entitled to vote at a shareholders’ meeting at which a quorum is present. The adjournment proposal and the compensation proposal each require approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by our shareholders who are entitled to vote at the OBA special meeting.

 

Q. Why is my vote important?

 

A. Under the Maryland General Corporation Law and our articles of incorporation, approval of the merger requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of OBA entitled to vote. This means that not voting is the equivalent of a vote AGAINST the merger proposal.

 

Q. What do I need to do now?

 

A. You should first carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the appendices and the documents F.N.B. incorporates by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information” on page [    ] in this proxy statement/prospectus. After you have decided how you wish to vote your shares, please vote by submitting your proxy using one of the methods described below.

 

Q. How do I vote my shares of OBA common stock?

 

A. If you are a shareholder of record on [                    ], 2014, you may have your shares of OBA common stock voted on the matters presented at the special meeting in any of the following ways:

 

    in person—you may attend the special meeting and cast your vote there;

 

    by mail—shareholders of record may vote by proxy by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying prepaid reply envelope;

 

    by telephone—shareholders of record may call [            ] to transmit their voting instructions; or

 

    via the Internet—shareholders of record may use the Internet to transmit their voting instructions by visiting [            ] and following the instructions for obtaining your records and creating an electronic voting instruction form.

If you are a beneficial owner, please refer to the instructions provided by your bank, brokerage firm or other intermediary regarding how to vote your shares. Please note that if you are a beneficial owner and wish to vote in person at the special meeting, you must provide a legal proxy from your bank, brokerage firm or other intermediary at the special meeting.

Table of Contents
Q: What is the deadline for voting?

 

A: You may: (1) vote by mail, Internet or telephone at any time before the meeting as long as your proxy is received before the time of the meeting or (2) if your shares are held in “street name,” you must vote your shares according to the voting instructions form by the deadline set by your broker or other intermediary.

 

Q. What does it mean if I get more than one proxy card?

 

A. It means you have multiple accounts at the transfer agent and/or with brokers. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

 

Q. What if my OBA shares are held through the OBA Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan or the OBA Bank 401(k) Plan?

 

A. If you participate in the OBA Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan or hold shares through the OBA Bank 401(k) Plan, you will receive a voting instruction card for each plan that reflects all shares you may vote under the plan. Under the terms of the OBA Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan, the trustee of the plan votes all shares held by the employee stock ownership plan, but each plan participant may direct the trustee how to vote the shares of common stock allocated to his or her account. The trustee of the plan, subject to the exercise of its fiduciary duties, will vote all unallocated shares of OBA common stock held by the employee stock ownership plan and allocated shares for which no voting instructions are received in the same proportion as shares for which it has received timely voting instructions. Under the terms of the OBA Bank 401(k) Plan, a participant is entitled to direct the trustee of the plan as to the shares in the OBA Financial Services, Inc. Stock Fund credited to his or her account. The trustee of the plan will vote all shares for which no directions are given or for which instructions were not timely received in the same proportions as shares for which the trustee received voting instructions. The deadline for submitting your voting instructions is 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on [                    ], 2014.

 

Q. What if I do not specify how I want to vote my shares on my proxy card?

 

A. If you submit a signed proxy card but do not indicate how you want your shares voted, the persons named on the proxy card will vote your shares:

 

    FOR approval of the merger agreement and the merger;

 

    FOR approval of the adjournment of our special meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the merger agreement and the merger; and

 

    FOR approval of an advisory (non-binding) basis of certain compensation payable to the named executive officers in connection with the merger.

The OBA Board of Directors does not currently intend to bring any other proposals before our special meeting. If other proposals requiring a vote of shareholders properly come before our special meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy card will vote the shares they represent on any such other proposal in accordance with their judgment.

 

Q. If my shares of OBA common stock are held in “street name” by my bank, broker or other intermediary, will my bank, broker or other intermediary vote my shares of OBA common stock for me?

 

A. If you have selected a broker, bank, or other intermediary to hold your common stock rather than having the shares directly registered in your name with OBA’s transfer agent, Registrar and Transfer Company, you will receive instructions directly from your broker, bank, or other intermediary in order to vote your shares. Your brokerage firm may also provide the ability to vote your proxy by telephone or online. Please be advised that if you choose not to vote your proxy, your brokerage firm has the authority under applicable stock market rules to vote your shares FOR or AGAINST routine matters. None of the proposals in this document is deemed to be a routine matter. Accordingly, OBA urges you to vote by following the instructions provided by your broker, bank, or other intermediary.

Table of Contents
Q. May I change my vote after I have voted?

 

A. Yes. You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the special meeting. Proxies may be revoked by sending written notice of revocation to the Secretary of OBA at the address shown below, or by returning a duly executed proxy bearing a later date by mail, or voting on a later date by Internet or telephone, as described on your Proxy Card. The presence at the special meeting of any shareholder who had given a proxy shall not revoke such proxy unless the shareholder delivers his or her ballot in person at the special meeting or delivers a written revocation to the Secretary prior to the voting of such proxy. If you hold your shares in street name (that is, in the name of a bank, broker, or other intermediary), you should follow the instructions of the bank, broker, nominee or other intermediary regarding the revocation of proxies. The address for the Secretary of OBA is 20300 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown, Maryland 20876, Attention: Donald L. Mallorey, Secretary.

 

Q. Should I send my stock certificates now?

 

A. No. Holders of our common stock should not submit their stock certificates for exchange until they receive the transmittal instructions from the exchange agent, Registrar and Transfer Company.

 

Q. What if I oppose the merger?

 

A. If you are a shareholder who objects to the merger, you may vote AGAINST approval of the merger agreement and the merger. Under Maryland law, you are not entitled to dissenters’ appraisal rights because OBA common stock is listed on a national securities exchange and the only consideration shareholders will receive in the merger (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares) is shares of F.N.B. common stock that are also listed on a national securities exchange. If they had been available, dissenters’ rights would enable a shareholder who opposes the merger to obtain an appraisal of the fair cash value of his or her shares and require OBA to purchase those shares at the price established by the appraisal.

 

Q. Who can answer my questions about the merger and the special meeting?

 

A. If you have additional questions about the merger or the special meeting or would like additional copies of this proxy statement/prospectus, please call Charles E. Weller, our President and Chief Executive Officer, at (301) 916-0742, or call Phoenix Advisory Partners, the proxy soliciting firm we have retained, at (800) 499-8159.

Unless the context otherwise requires, throughout this proxy statement/prospectus, “we,” “us,” “our” or “OBA” refers to OBA Financial Services, Inc., “F.N.B.” refers to F.N.B. Corporation, and “you” refers to the common shareholders of OBA. We refer to the merger between OBA and F.N.B. as the “merger,” and the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 7, 2014 between F.N.B. and OBA as the “merger agreement.” Also, we refer to the proposed merger of OBA Bank into First National Bank of Pennsylvania as the “bank merger.”

OBA provided the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus with respect to OBA, and F.N.B. provided the information in this proxy statement/prospectus with respect to F.N.B.

These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. The ability of either F.N.B. or us to predict results or the actual effects of our plans and strategies, particularly after the merger, is inherently uncertain.

Our Special Meeting

This section contains information for our shareholders about the special meeting we have called to consider approval of the merger and related matters.

General (Page [    ])

This proxy statement/prospectus is being provided to holders of OBA common stock as OBA’s proxy statement in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of its Board of Directors to be voted at the special meeting of OBA shareholders to be held on [                    ], 2014, and at any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting. This proxy statement/prospectus is also being provided to you as F.N.B.’s prospectus in connection with the offer and sale by F.N.B. of its shares of common stock as a result of the proposed merger.

Date, Time and Place of Meeting (Page [    ])

The special meeting is scheduled to be held as follows:

Date: [                    ], 2014

Time: [            ], Eastern Time

Place: OBA Bank Building Community Room, 20300 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown, Maryland

Purpose of the Shareholder Meeting (Page [    ])

At the special meeting, OBA’s shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following matters:

 

    A proposal to approve the merger agreement as well as the merger (the “merger proposal”);

 

    A proposal to adjourn the shareholder meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the merger proposal (the “adjournment proposal”);

Table of Contents
    A non-binding advisory resolution approving certain compensation payable to the named executive officers of OBA in connection with the merger (the “compensation proposal”); and

 

    Such other business as may be properly presented at the special meeting or any postponement or adjournment of the special meeting.

Recommendation of OBA’s Board of Directors (Page [    ])

OBA’s Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR approval of the merger agreement and the merger, FOR approval of the proposal to adjourn the meeting if necessary to permit further solicitation of proxies on the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, and FOR the approval of the non-binding advisory resolution approving certain compensation payable to the named executive officers of OBA in connection with the merger.

Record Date; Shares Entitled to Vote (Page [    ])

You are entitled to vote if the records of OBA showed that you held shares of OBA common stock as of the close of business on [                    ], 2014. Beneficial owners of shares held in the name of a broker, bank or other intermediary (“street name”) should instruct their record holder how to vote their shares. As of the close of business on the record date, a total of [            ] shares of OBA common stock were outstanding. Each share of common stock has one vote on each matter presented to shareholders. If you are a beneficial owner of shares of OBA common stock held in “street name” and you want to vote your shares in person at the meeting, you will have to get a written proxy in your name from the broker, bank or other intermediary who holds your shares.

Quorum; Vote Required (Page [    ])

The presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at the special meeting. If you return valid proxy instructions or attend the meeting in person, your shares will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum, even if you abstain from voting. Broker non-votes also will be counted for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker, bank or other intermediary holding shares of OBA common stock for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker, bank or other intermediary does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

With respect to the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, you may vote FOR the proposal, vote AGAINST the proposal or ABSTAIN from voting. Approval of the merger agreement and the merger will require the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of OBA common stock entitled to vote at the meeting. Failure to return a properly executed proxy card or to vote in person will have the same effect as a vote AGAINST the merger agreement and the merger. Broker non-votes and abstentions from voting will have the same effect as voting AGAINST the merger agreement and the merger.

With respect to the proposal to adjourn the meeting if necessary to permit further solicitation of proxies on the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, you may vote FOR the proposal, vote AGAINST the proposal or ABSTAIN from voting. The affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast is required to approve the proposal to adjourn the meeting if necessary to permit further solicitation of proxies on the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger.

In the advisory vote on the non-binding resolution approving certain compensation payable to the named executive officers of OBA in connection with the merger, you may vote FOR the proposal, vote AGAINST the proposal or ABSTAIN from voting. To approve the non-binding resolution on an advisory basis, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the special meeting is required.

Table of Contents

OBA Voting Agreements (Page [    ])

As of [                    ], 2014, directors and executive officers of OBA beneficially owned [            ] shares of OBA common stock (including vested stock options). This equals [    ]% of the outstanding shares of OBA common stock, assuming the exercise of all options. As of the same date, neither F.N.B. nor any its subsidiaries, directors or executive officers owned any shares of OBA common stock. All of OBA’s directors entered into voting agreements with F.N.B. to vote the [            ] shares of OBA common stock owned by them in favor of the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger. For more information about the OBA voting agreements, see the section entitled “Other Material Agreements Relating to the Merger—Voting Agreements.”

Voting of Proxies (Page [    ])

You may vote in person at the special meeting or by proxy. To ensure your representation at the special meeting, OBA recommends that you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the special meeting. You can always change your vote at the special meeting.

OBA shareholders whose shares are held in “street name” by their broker, bank or other intermediary must follow the instructions provided by their broker, bank or other intermediary to vote their shares. Your broker or bank may allow you to deliver your voting instructions via the telephone or the Internet. If your shares are held in “street name” and you wish to vote in person at the special meeting, you will have to obtain proper documentation from your broker, bank or other intermediary entitling you to vote at the special meeting.

Voting instructions are included on your proxy card. If you properly complete and timely submit your proxy, your shares will be voted as you have directed. You may vote FOR, AGAINST, or ABSTAIN with respect to each of the three proposals. If you are the record holder of your shares of OBA common stock and submit your proxy without specifying a voting instruction, your shares of OBA common stock will be voted FOR the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, FOR the proposal to adjourn the meeting if necessary to permit further solicitation of proxies on the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, and FOR the approval of the non-binding advisory resolution approving certain compensation payable to the named executive officers of OBA in connection with the merger. If you return an incomplete instruction card to your broker, bank or other intermediary, it will not vote your shares with respect to any matter.

How to Revoke Your Proxy (Page [    ])

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by:

 

    filing with the Secretary of OBA a duly executed revocation of proxy;

 

    submitting a new proxy with a later date; or

 

    voting in person at the special meeting.

Attendance at the special meeting will not, in and of itself, constitute a revocation of a proxy. All written notices of revocation and other communications with respect to the revocation of proxies should be addressed to:

OBA Financial Services, Inc.

Donald L. Mallorey, Secretary

20300 Seneca Meadows Parkway

Germantown, Maryland 20876

If any matters not described in this document are properly presented at the special meeting, the persons named in the proxy card will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares. OBA does not know of any other matters to be presented at the meeting.

Table of Contents

Voting in Person (Page [    ])

If you plan to attend the OBA special meeting and wish to vote in person, you will be given a ballot at the meeting. Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other intermediary and you wish to vote at the OBA special meeting, you must bring additional documentation from the broker, bank or other intermediary in order to vote your shares. Whether or not you plan to attend the OBA special meeting, OBA requests that you complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the enclosed postage-paid envelope, or submit a proxy through the Internet or by telephone as described on the enclosed proxy card. This will not prevent you from voting in person at the OBA special meeting but will assure that your vote is counted if you are unable to attend.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes (Page [    ])

If you return valid proxy instructions or attend the meeting in person, we will count your shares for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum, even if you abstain from voting. Broker non-votes, if any, also will be counted for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. The effect that broker non-votes and abstentions will have on the voting results for each proposal is set forth below:

 

    On the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, broker non-votes and abstentions will have the same effect as a vote AGAINST the proposal.

 

    On the proposal to approval one or more adjournments of the special meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies on the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on the voting results.

 

    On the proposal to approve a non-binding advisory resolution approving certain compensation payable to the named executive officers of OBA in connection with the merger, broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on the voting results.

Proxy Solicitation (Page [    ])

F.N.B. and OBA will share equally the cost of printing this proxy statement/prospectus and the filing fees paid to the SEC. OBA will pay all other costs for this proxy solicitation and the special meeting. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, Phoenix Advisory Partners, a proxy solicitation firm, will assist OBA in soliciting proxies for the special meeting. OBA will pay $5,500 (and expenses) for these services. Additionally, directors, officers and employees of OBA and OBA Bank may solicit proxies personally and by telephone. None of these persons will receive additional or special compensation for soliciting proxies. OBA will, upon request, reimburse brokers, banks and other intermediaries for their expenses in sending proxy materials to their customers who are beneficial owners and obtaining their voting instructions.

The Merger

The Merger and the Merger Agreement (Page [    ])

The merger agreement, which governs the merger of OBA with and into F.N.B., is attached to this document as Appendix A. We encourage you to read the merger agreement carefully. All descriptions in this summary and elsewhere in this document of the terms and conditions of the merger are qualified by reference to the merger agreement.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, OBA will merge with and into F.N.B., and F.N.B. will be the surviving entity. As a result of the merger, OBA’s businesses will be combined with F.N.B.’s, and OBA will cease to exist as a separate legal entity.

Merger of Bank Subsidiaries

As soon as practicable after the merger between F.N.B. and OBA is completed, OBA Bank will merge with and into First National Bank of Pennsylvania, and First National Bank of Pennsylvania will continue as the surviving bank. OBA Bank and First National Bank of Pennsylvania have entered into an agreement of merger setting forth their agreement to merge and the terms and conditions of their merger. The form of the agreement of merger between the banks is attached as Exhibit A to the merger agreement between F.N.B. and OBA.

Merger Consideration (Page [    ])

The merger consideration to OBA shareholders will be shares of F.N.B. common stock, which will be paid at a fixed exchange ratio of 1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock for each share of OBA common stock that is outstanding immediately before the merger occurs (subject to possible adjustment as provided in the merger agreement). Cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional shares of F.N.B. common stock which an OBA shareholder would otherwise be entitled to receive.

Opinion of OBA’s Financial Advisor in Connection with the Merger (Page [    ])

Sterne Agee, our financial advisor in connection with the merger, delivered a written fairness opinion to the OBA Board of Directors dated April 7, 2014, the date we executed the merger agreement, to the effect that as of such date, subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in Sterne Agee’s opinion, the merger consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of our common stock.

Appendix C to this proxy statement/prospectus sets forth the full text of the Sterne Agee opinion, which includes the assumptions Sterne Agee made, the procedures Sterne Agee followed, the matters Sterne Agee considered and the limitations on the review Sterne Agee undertook in connection with its opinion. Sterne Agee provided its opinion for the information and assistance of the OBA Board of Directors in connection with its consideration of the merger agreement and the merger. The Sterne Agee opinion is not a recommendation as to how you should vote with respect to the merger or any related matter. We encourage you to read the Sterne Agee opinion in its entirety, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix C.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger that are Different from Yours (Page [    ])

In considering the recommendation of the Board of Directors of OBA to approve the merger agreement and the merger, you should be aware that officers and directors of OBA have employment and other compensation agreements or economic interests that give them interests in the merger that are somewhat different from, or in addition to, their interests as OBA shareholders. These interests and agreements provide for cash severance payments in the aggregate amount of up to approximately $2.2 million. Some of the interests of the officers and directors include:

 

    Employment agreements with Charles E. Weller, President and Chief Executive Officer of OBA, that provide for cash severance payments and continued health insurance in connection with a termination of employment without cause or for good reason following a change in control;

 

    Change in control agreements with Shane Hennessy, Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer of OBA, Gary L. Will, Executive Vice President—Sales of OBA, and two other officers of OBA that provide for cash severance payments and continued health insurance in connection with a termination of employment without cause or for good reason following a change in control;

 

   

A non-competition and non-solicitation agreement that F.N.B. intends to enter into with Charles E. Weller, President and Chief Executive Officer of OBA, which provides for payments over the term of

Table of Contents
 

the agreement, and a non-solicitation agreement with Gary L. Will, Executive Vice President—Sales of OBA, and one other officer of OBA;

 

    F.N.B. will pay a stay bonus to each of Charles E. Weller, President and Chief Executive Officer of OBA, Shane Hennessy, Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer of OBA, Gary L. Will, Executive Vice President—Sales of OBA, and two other officers of OBA, provided that such individuals continue their employment through the closing of the merger and, in the case of Mr. Will and one other officer of OBA, achieve certain performance goals;

 

    OBA has made awards of stock options and/or restricted stock to certain officers under its equity incentive plan. As a result of the merger, each stock option will be assumed by F.N.B. subject to the same restrictions under which they were granted. Each share of such restricted stock, including those designated as performance share awards, will vest in full and will be exchanged for shares of F.N.B. common stock. The number of stock options, restricted stock awards and the exercise price of the stock options will be adjusted for the exchange ratio;

 

    Interests of OBA officers under the OBA Bank ESOP; and

 

    Rights of OBA officers and directors to continued indemnification coverage and continued coverage under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies.

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger and the Bank Merger (Page [    ])

Completion of the merger between F.N.B. and OBA and the bank merger are subject to various regulatory approvals. The merger of OBA with and into F.N.B. is subject to the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”), unless the Federal Reserve Board waives this requirement. The merger between OBA’s and F.N.B.’s bank subsidiaries, OBA Bank and First National Bank of Pennsylvania, is subject to the prior approval of their primary regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Also, the United States Department of Justice is authorized to provide input into the approval process of federal banking agencies to challenge the approval on antitrust grounds. OBA Bank and First National Bank of Pennsylvania plan to file their Bank Merger Act Application with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency seeking approval of the bank merger by July 2014. F.N.B. plans to submit a waiver request to the Federal Reserve Board by August 2014 to seek an exemption from the pre-approval requirement for the proposed merger between OBA and F.N.B. There can be no assurance that the Federal Reserve Board will waive the pre-approval requirement, or that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency will approve the merger between the bank subsidiaries.

No Dissenters’ Rights (Page [    ])

Due to an exception under the Maryland General Corporation Law, holders of OBA common stock will not be entitled to dissenters’ appraisal rights in the merger. Dissenters’ rights are not available because OBA common stock is listed on a national securities exchange and the only consideration that OBA shareholders will receive in the merger (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares) is shares of F.N.B. common stock, which are also listed on a national securities exchange. If they had been available, dissenters’ rights would enable a shareholder who opposes the merger to obtain an appraisal of the fair cash value of his or her shares and require OBA to purchase those shares at the price established by the appraisal.

Treatment of OBA Stock Options (Page [    ])

Upon completion of the merger, each outstanding option or similar right to acquire OBA common stock granted under any OBA equity compensation plan will automatically convert into an option to purchase shares of F.N.B. common stock, as adjusted to give effect to the exchange ratio of 1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock for each share of OBA common stock.

 

 

12


Table of Contents

Treatment of OBA Restricted Stock Awards (Page [    ])

Upon completion of the merger, each restricted stock award relating to OBA common stock will vest in full and the restrictions will lapse. Each award holder will be entitled to receive the same merger consideration as other OBA shareholders.

Exchange and Payment Procedures (Page [    ])

At the completion of or as promptly as practicable after completing the merger, F.N.B. will deposit with the exchange agent, Registrar and Transfer Company, book entry shares representing the aggregate number of shares of F.N.B. common stock issuable under the merger agreement in exchange for the OBA common stock. F.N.B. will also deposit a cash amount equal to any dividends or distributions that may be payable to OBA shareholders under the merger agreement, and any cash that may be payable in lieu of the fractional shares of F.N.B. common stock which the OBA shareholders otherwise would be entitled to receive in the merger.

As soon as practicable after completing the merger, but in any event, no later than seven business days, the exchange agent will mail each holder of record of OBA common stock a letter of transmittal with instructions for surrendering their shares of OBA common stock in exchange for the merger consideration consisting of 1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock for each share of OBA common stock owned by the holder and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of F.N.B. common stock that otherwise would be issuable to the holder. To receive the merger consideration, a shareholder must surrender his or her OBA stock certificates to the exchange agent, together with properly completed and signed transmittal materials. F.N.B. has no obligation to pay the merger consideration to any OBA shareholder until the shareholder has properly surrendered the stock certificates representing his or her shares of OBA common stock.

Conditions to Completion of the Merger (Page [    ])

Currently, we expect to complete the merger in September 2014. However, we cannot assure you that the merger will be completed in that timeframe, or at all. As more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and in the merger agreement, the completion of the merger depends on the satisfaction of a number of conditions or, where legally permissible, the waiver of those conditions. These conditions include, among others:

 

    approval of the merger agreement and the merger by the requisite affirmative vote of the OBA holders of common stock entitled to vote on that matter;

 

    the receipt and effectiveness of all regulatory approvals that are needed to complete the merger, including approval by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency of the bank merger and approval by the Federal Reserve Board of the merger between F.N.B. and OBA (or the waiver of this approval requirement by the Federal Reserve Board);

 

    approval by the NYSE of the listing on the NYSE of the shares of F.N.B. common stock to be issued in the merger to OBA shareholders as merger consideration;

 

    the absence of any law, statute or regulation, or any judgment, decree, injunction or other order of any court or other governmental entity that would prevent, prohibit or make illegal completion of the merger;

 

    amendment of the OBA Bank charter to remove the anti-takeover provision which would prohibit any person or entity other than OBA from owning more than ten percent of any class of equity securities of OBA Bank until January 2015; and

 

    the receipt at closing of legal opinions from F.N.B.’s and OBA’s respective legal counsel that the merger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Table of Contents

Neither we nor F.N.B. can be certain when, or if, we and F.N.B. will satisfy or waive the conditions to the merger, or that we and F.N.B will complete the merger.

Closing and Effective Time of the Merger (Page [    ])

The closing of the merger will take place at the time and on the date specified by F.N.B. and OBA, which will be no later than the fifth business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions specified in the merger agreement. The merger will become effective at the time specified in the articles of merger that F.N.B. and OBA file on the closing date with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida and the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland. F.N.B. and OBA cannot be certain whether or when any of the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or waived, where permissible. We currently expect to complete the merger in September 2014; however, because the merger is subject to these closing conditions, we cannot assure you when or if the merger will occur.

Termination of the Merger Agreement (Page [    ])

The parties can mutually agree to terminate the merger agreement at any time prior to completion of the merger. In addition, either party, acting alone, may have the right to terminate the merger agreement if any of the following occurs:

 

    the approval of a governmental entity, which is required for completion of the merger, is denied by final and non-appealable action;

 

    the merger is not completed by February 28, 2015;

 

    the other party commits a breach of the merger agreement which would cause the failure of the closing conditions described above, and the breach cannot be cured or has not been cured within the timeframes given in the merger agreement; or

 

    the requisite shareholder vote to approve the merger is not obtained at our special meeting.

Termination Fee (Page [    ])

The merger agreement provides that OBA will be required to pay a termination fee of $3.75 million to F.N.B., or up to $500,000 of F.N.B.’s expenses incurred in connection with the merger, depending on the circumstances of the termination, as discussed in more detail beginning on page [    ].

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger (Page [    ])

F.N.B. and OBA intend that the merger will qualify for United States federal income tax purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. If the merger qualifies as a reorganization, then, in general, for United States federal income tax purposes, (A) no gain or loss will be recognized by F.N.B. or OBA as a result of the merger, and (B) each OBA shareholder who receives F.N.B. common stock in the merger generally will not recognize gain or loss except to the extent of any cash received in lieu of fractional shares. It is a condition to the completion of the merger that we and F.N.B. receive written opinions from our respective legal counsel to the effect that the merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Tax matters are very complicated and the tax consequences of the merger to each OBA shareholder may depend on such shareholder’s particular facts and circumstances. OBA shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors to understand fully the tax consequences to them of the merger. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page [    ] of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Comparison of Shareholders Rights (Page [    ])

When the merger is completed, our shareholders will become shareholders of F.N.B. As a result, the Florida Business Corporation Act, as well as F.N.B.’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, will govern the rights of our shareholders, instead of the Maryland General Corporation Law and our articles of incorporation and bylaws.

Comparative Market Prices and Dividends (Page [    ])

F.N.B. common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “FNB.” Prices for our common stock are quoted on the NASDAQ under the symbol “OBAF.” The table on page [    ] of this proxy statement/prospectus lists the quarterly price range of F.N.B. common stock and our common stock from the quarter ended December 31, 2010 through [            ] as well as the quarterly cash dividends F.N.B. has paid during the same time period. The following table shows the closing price of F.N.B. common stock and OBA common stock as reported on April 7, 2014, the last trading day before we and F.N.B. announced the merger, and on [                    ], 2014, the last practicable trading day before the date we printed and mailed this proxy statement/prospectus. This table also presents the pro forma equivalent per share value of a share of OBA common stock on those dates. We calculated the pro forma equivalent per share value by multiplying the closing price of F.N.B. common stock on those dates by 1.781, the exchange ratio in the merger.

The market price of F.N.B. common stock may change at any time. Consequently, the total dollar value of the F.N.B. common stock that you will receive upon the merger may be significantly higher or lower than its value as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. We urge you to obtain a current market quotation for F.N.B. common stock. We can provide no assurance as to the future price of F.N.B. common stock.

Adjournment Proposal (Page [    ])

You are also being asked to approve a proposal to grant the OBA Board of Directors discretionary authority to adjourn our special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies from our shareholders for the merger proposal in the event a quorum is present at our special meeting but there are insufficient votes to approve the merger agreement and the merger.

Advisory Vote Regarding Certain Executive Compensation in Connection with the Merger (Page [    ])

In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, OBA is providing its shareholders with the opportunity to vote on a non-binding advisory resolution approving the compensation payable to OBA’s named executive officers in connection with the merger, as reported in the table under the caption “The Merger—Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger that are Different from Yours—Severance and Other Payments to Certain Persons” on page [    ] and the associated narrative discussion.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and the risk factors included in F.N.B.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as updated by subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other reports filed with the SEC, OBA shareholders should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding whether to vote in favor of the merger proposal.

Risks Related to the Merger

Because the market price of F.N.B. common stock will fluctuate, OBA shareholders cannot be certain of the market value of the F.N.B. common stock that they will receive upon completion of the merger.

Upon completion of the merger, each share of OBA common stock will become the right to receive 1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock. Any change in the price of F.N.B. common stock prior to the merger will affect the market value of the F.N.B. common stock that you will receive upon completion of the merger. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in F.N.B.’s businesses, operations and prospects and regulatory considerations.

The prices of F.N.B. common stock and OBA common stock at the closing of the merger may vary from their respective prices on the date the merger agreement was executed, on the date of this proxy statement/prospectus and on the date of our special meeting. As a result, the value represented by the exchange ratio will also vary. For example, based on the range of closing prices of F.N.B. common stock during the period from April 7, 2014, the last full trading day before public announcement of the merger, through [                    ], 2014, the last practicable full trading day prior to the date we printed and mailed this proxy statement/prospectus, the exchange ratio represented a value ranging from a high of $[        ] on [            ] to a low of $[        ] on [            ] for each share of OBA common stock. Because the date on which we expect to complete the merger will be later than the date of our special meeting, at the time of our special meeting our shareholders will not know what the market value of F.N.B.’s common stock will be upon completion of the merger.

The combined company that results from the merger will have incurred significant transaction- and merger-related costs in connection with the merger.

F.N.B. and OBA each expect to incur substantial costs in connection with the merger and combining the businesses and operations of the two companies. F.N.B. and OBA have begun collecting information in order to formulate detailed integration plans to deliver planned synergies. However, additional unanticipated costs may be incurred during the integration process. Whether or not the merger is consummated, F.N.B. and OBA will incur substantial expenses, such as legal, accounting, printing and financial advisory fees. Although F.N.B. and OBA expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses, may offset incremental transaction- and merger-related costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all.

The combined company that results from the merger may encounter integration difficulties that may prevent it from realizing the anticipated benefits of the merger.

The success of the merger will depend on, among other things, F.N.B.’s ability to combine the businesses of First National Bank of Pennsylvania and OBA Bank within F.N.B.’s projected timeframe without materially disrupting the existing customer relationships of OBA Bank and suffering decreased revenues as a result of the loss of those customers. If F.N.B. is not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.

Table of Contents

A number of factors could affect the integration process. F.N.B. and OBA have operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate, independently from each other. Key employees of OBA may elect to terminate their employment as a result of, or in anticipation of, the merger. It will be critically important for F.N.B. to attract and retain talented employees to complete the integration process. It is possible that the integration process could result in the disruption of F.N.B.’s or OBA’s ongoing businesses or cause inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect the ability of F.N.B. or OBA to maintain relationships with customers and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger.

F.N.B. believes the combined company will achieve enhanced earnings due to, among other things, reduction of duplicate costs, improved efficiency and cross-marketing opportunities. If completion of the merger is delayed or F.N.B. experiences integration difficulties, including those discussed in the paragraphs above, F.N.B. may not realize the anticipated benefits of the merger at all, or the benefits of the merger may take longer to realize than anticipated. Failure to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger in the timeframes projected by F.N.B. could result in increased costs and decreased revenues. This could have a dilutive effect on the combined company’s earnings per share.

F.N.B. has limited operating experience in Maryland, which may adversely impact F.N.B.’s ability to compete successfully in this market area.

F.N.B. first entered the Maryland market in April 2013 with its acquisition of Annapolis Bancorp, Inc. In February 2014, F.N.B. expanded its presence in Maryland through its acquisition of BCSB Bancorp, Inc. The Maryland market is outside of the markets in which most members of F.N.B.’s senior management have extensive knowledge and experience. It also is a more competitive market environment than some of the other markets in which F.N.B. currently operates. F.N.B. may not be able to retain existing customers of OBA Bank, or adequately address the Maryland market in terms of the products and services that F.N.B. proposes to offer, or otherwise compete successfully against institutions already established within this market area. F.N.B.’s success in the Maryland market will depend, in large part, on the ability of F.N.B. to identify, attract and retain qualified and experienced personnel with local expertise and relationships in the Maryland market to supplement the existing OBA and F.N.B. team. The newness of the F.N.B. brand in the Maryland market may adversely affect F.N.B.’s ability to attract and retain qualified personnel as well as F.N.B.’s overall ability to compete for customers in this market area. Competition for qualified personnel may be intense, and there may be a limited number of qualified persons with knowledge of and experience in the commercial banking industry in the Maryland market. Even if F.N.B. identifies individuals that it believes could assist it in establishing a presence in the Maryland market, F.N.B. may be unable to recruit these individuals away from other banks or may be unable to do so at a reasonable cost. In addition, the process of identifying and recruiting individuals with the combination of skills and attributes required to carry out F.N.B.’s strategy is often lengthy. F.N.B.’s inability to identify, recruit and retain talented personnel to manage new offices effectively would limit its growth and could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

F.N.B.’s decisions regarding the credit risk associated with OBA Bank’s loan portfolio could be incorrect and its credit mark may be inadequate, which may adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of the combined company after the closing of the merger.

Before signing the merger agreement, F.N.B. conducted extensive due diligence on a significant portion of the OBA Bank loan portfolio. However, F.N.B.’s review did not encompass each and every loan in the OBA Bank loan portfolio. In accordance with customary industry practices, F.N.B. evaluated the OBA Bank loan portfolio based on various factors including, among other things, historical loss experience, economic risks associated with each loan category, volume and types of loans, trends in classification, volume and trends in delinquencies and nonaccruals, and general economic conditions, both local and national. In this process, F.N.B.’s management made various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of the loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness and financial condition of the borrowers, the value of the real estate, which is obtained from independent appraisers, other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of the loans, the

 

17


Table of Contents

existence of any guarantees and indemnifications and the economic environment in which the borrowers operate. In addition, the effects of probable decreases in expected principal cash flows on the OBA Bank loans are considered as part of F.N.B.’s evaluation. If F.N.B.’s assumptions and judgments turn out to be incorrect, including as a result of the fact that its due diligence review did not cover each individual loan, F.N.B.’s estimated credit mark against the OBA Bank loan portfolio in total may be insufficient to cover actual loan losses after the merger closes, and adjustments may be necessary to allow for different economic conditions or adverse developments in the OBA Bank loan portfolio. Additionally, deterioration in economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans and other factors, both within and outside management’s control, may require an increase in the provision for loan losses. Material additions to the credit mark and/or allowance for loan losses would materially decrease F.N.B.’s net income.

If the merger is not completed, OBA will have incurred substantial expenses without its shareholders realizing the expected benefits of the merger.

OBA has already incurred, and will continue to incur, substantial expenses in connection with the transactions described in this proxy statement/prospectus, which are charged to earnings as incurred. If the merger is not completed, these expenses will still be charged to earnings even though OBA would not have realized the expected benefits of the merger. There can be no assurance that the merger will be completed.

The merger cannot be completed unless a number of conditions in the merger agreement are satisfied.

The merger agreement contains a number of conditions that must be fulfilled in order to complete the merger. Those conditions include: approval of the merger by OBA shareholders, receipt of all required regulatory approvals, absence of any law, statute or regulation, or any order, injunction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the completion of the merger, effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of both parties, the performance by both parties of their respective covenants and agreements, the amendment of the OBA Bank charter to remove an existing restriction on ownership of equity securities of the bank, and the receipt by both parties of legal opinions from their respective tax counsels. See “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement” beginning on page [    ] for a more complete discussion of the circumstances under which the merger agreement could be terminated. There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing of the merger will be fulfilled or that the merger will be completed.

Termination of the merger agreement could negatively affect OBA’s businesses and the market price of its common stock.

If the merger agreement is terminated, there may be various consequences, including:

 

    OBA’s businesses may have been adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the merger, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the merger; and

 

    the market price of OBA common stock may decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the merger will be completed.

If the merger agreement is terminated and the OBA Board of Directors seeks another merger or business combination, OBA shareholders cannot be certain that OBA will be able to find a party willing to offer equivalent or more attractive consideration than the consideration F.N.B. has agreed to pay in the merger.

If the merger agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, OBA may be required to pay F.N.B. a termination fee of $3.75 million, or up to $500,000 of F.N.B.’s expenses incurred in connection with the merger and the merger agreement. See “The Merger Agreement—Termination Fee” and “The Merger Agreement—Expenses” beginning on page [    ].

Table of Contents

Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected or may impose conditions that are not presently anticipated or cannot be met.

Before the merger and the bank merger may be completed, various approvals must be obtained from bank regulatory agencies and other governmental authorities. These governmental entities may not grant approval of either the merger or the bank merger, or may impose conditions on the granting of their approvals. The conditions or changes they impose, as well as the process of obtaining regulatory approvals, could have the effect of delaying completion of the merger or of imposing additional costs or limitations on F.N.B. following the merger. F.N.B. may elect not to consummate the merger if, in connection with any regulatory approval needed for the merger, any governmental or regulatory entity imposes a restriction, requirement or condition on F.N.B. that, individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably likely to have a material and adverse effect on F.N.B. and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the merger. As a result, there can be no assurance that the desired regulatory approvals for the merger will be obtained or that the merger will be completed.

The merger agreement limits OBA’s ability to pursue alternatives to the merger with F.N.B.

The merger agreement contains provisions that restrict our ability to discuss, facilitate or enter into agreements with third parties to acquire us. We are not required to comply with this restriction if compliance would reasonably be expected to cause our Board of Directors to breach their fiduciary duties. Even if we were to avail ourselves of that limited exception, we could be obligated to pay F.N.B. a termination fee of $3.75 million if either F.N.B. or we terminate the merger agreement under specified circumstances. In any event, the presence of those restrictions in our merger agreement could discourage a potential competing acquirer that may have an interest in acquiring us from proposing or considering an acquisition involving us even if that potential acquirer were prepared to pay a higher price to our shareholders than the merger consideration offered by F.N.B.

OBA will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending.

Uncertainties about the effect of the merger on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on OBA and consequently on F.N.B. These uncertainties may impair OBA’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed, and could cause customers and others that deal with OBA to consider changing existing business relationships with OBA. Retention of certain employees may be challenging during the pendency of the merger, as certain employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the business, OBA’s business prior to the merger and F.N.B.’s business following the merger could be negatively impacted. In addition, the merger agreement restricts OBA from taking specified actions relative to its business without the prior consent of F.N.B. These restrictions may prevent OBA from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger. See “The Merger Agreement—Covenants and Agreements” beginning on page [    ] for a description of the restrictive covenants applicable to OBA.

Some of our directors and executive officers have interests in the merger that may differ from the interests of our shareholders including, if the merger is completed, the receipt of financial and other benefits.

The executive officers of OBA and F.N.B. negotiated the terms of the merger agreement, both the OBA and F.N.B. boards of directors unanimously approved the merger agreement and the OBA Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote to approve the merger agreement and the merger, approve the adjournment proposal and approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation payable to our named executive officers in connection with the merger. In considering these facts and the other information we have included in this proxy statement/prospectus or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should be aware that our directors and executive officers may have economic interests in the merger other than their interests as shareholders. For example, once the merger is completed, it is expected that each executive officer will be entitled to change-in-control payments under the compensation programs we have put in place. In

 

19


Table of Contents

addition, the executive officers may receive “stay bonuses” if they remain employed by OBA through the closing date of the merger, and certain executive officers may receive payments if they execute a non-competition or non-solicitation agreement for F.N.B.’s benefit and comply with the terms of their agreement. The merger agreement also provides for the continued indemnification of our current and former directors and executive officers following the merger and for the continuation of directors’ and officers’ insurance for these individuals for six years after the merger. See “Proposal No. 1— Approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger—Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger that are Different from Yours” on page [    ].

The market price for F.N.B. common stock may be affected by factors different from those that historically have affected OBA common stock.

Upon completion of the merger, certain holders of OBA common stock will become holders of F.N.B. common stock. F.N.B.’s businesses differ from those of OBA, and accordingly, the results of operations of F.N.B. will be affected by some factors that are different from those currently affecting the results of operations of OBA. For a discussion of the businesses of F.N.B. and OBA and some of the important factors to consider in connection with those businesses, see the documents incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus and referred to under “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page [    ] and the information concerning OBA and its subsidiaries contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

OBA shareholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the merger and will exercise less influence over management.

Following the merger, former OBA shareholders are expected to hold approximately [    ]% of the outstanding shares of F.N.B. common stock. As a result, former OBA shareholders will have only limited ability to influence F.N.B.’s business. Former OBA shareholders will not have separate approval rights with respect to any actions or decisions of F.N.B. or have separate representation on F.N.B.’s or First National Bank of Pennsylvania’s board of directors.

OBA shareholders do not have dissenters’ appraisal rights in the merger.

Dissenters’ rights are statutory rights that, if applicable under law, enable shareholders to dissent from an extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, and to demand that the corporation pay the fair value for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the consideration offered to shareholders in that extraordinary transaction. Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, holders of OBA common stock will not be entitled to dissenters’ appraisal rights in the merger with respect to their shares of OBA common stock because OBA common stock is listed on a national securities exchange and the only consideration that OBA shareholders will receive in the merger (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares) is shares of F.N.B. common stock, which are also listed on a national securities exchange.

The fairness opinion obtained by OBA from its financial advisor will not reflect changes in circumstances subsequent to the date of the fairness opinion.

Sterne Agee, OBA’s financial advisor in connection with the proposed merger, has delivered to the OBA Board of Directors its opinion dated April 7, 2014. The opinion of Sterne Agee stated that as of April 7, 2014, subject to the other factors and assumptions set forth therein, the consideration provided in the merger agreement was fair to the OBA common shareholders from a financial point of view. The opinion does not reflect changes that may occur or may have occurred after the date of the opinion, including changes to the operations and prospects of F.N.B. or OBA, changes in general market and economic conditions or regulatory or other factors. Any such changes, or changes in other factors on which the opinion is based, may materially alter or affect the relative values of F.N.B. and OBA.

Litigation relating to the merger could result in a delay or an injunction preventing completion of the merger and may require us to incur substantial costs.

On May 7, 2014, OBA, the OBA Board of Directors, OBA Bank, F.N.B. and First National Bank of Pennsylvania were sued by a purported shareholder seeking to enjoin the merger, among other relief. We may be required to expend substantial costs and management resources to defend against the pending lawsuit as well as any other demand or litigation relating to the merger that may be filed against us in the future. In addition, if the plaintiff successfully enjoins the merger, the merger may not become effective within the time frame planned by F.N.B. and OBA, or at all. If completion of the merger is prevented or does not occur within the planned time frame, it could result in substantial costs to F.N.B. and OBA. F.N.B. and OBA also could incur substantial costs associated with the indemnification of their respective directors and officers. See “Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger—Litigation Relating to the Merger” on page [    ].

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This proxy statement/prospectus contains a number of forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding the financial condition, results of operations, earnings outlook, businesses and prospects of F.N.B. and OBA, and the potential combined company, as well as statements applicable to the period following the completion of the merger. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “potential,” “possible” or other similar expressions.

These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. The ability of either F.N.B. or OBA to predict results or the actual effects of their plans and strategies, particularly after the merger, is inherently uncertain. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from anticipated results. Some of the factors that may cause actual results or earnings to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed under “Risk Factors” beginning on page [    ], as well as the following factors:

 

    F.N.B. may not successfully integrate its business with OBA’s, or the integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than F.N.B. currently anticipates;

 

    the combined company that results from the merger may not realize the revenue synergies anticipated to result from the integration of F.N.B.’s and OBA’s businesses;

 

    revenues may be lower than expected following the merger;

 

    deposit attrition, operating costs, loss of customers and business disruption, including, without limitation, any difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers and/or suppliers, may be greater than anticipated following the merger;

 

    there may be higher than expected increases in F.N.B.’s or OBA’s loan losses or in the level of non-performing loans;

 

    there may be higher than expected charges incurred by F.N.B. in connection with marking OBA’s assets to fair value;

 

    there may be other than temporary impairments or declines in value in F.N.B.’s or OBA’s investment portfolios;

 

    F.N.B. and OBA may not obtain the regulatory approvals for the merger on acceptable terms, on the anticipated schedule or at all;

 

    OBA may not obtain the requisite vote of its shareholders necessary to approve the merger;

 

    competitive pressure among financial services companies is intense and may further intensify;

 

    changes in general, national or regional economic conditions may adversely affect the businesses in which F.N.B. and OBA engage;

 

    changes in the interest rate environment may reduce net interest margins and impact funding sources;

The pro forma and pro forma-equivalent per share information give effect to the merger of OBA with and into F.N.B. as if the merger had been effective on the dates presented, in the case of the book value data, and as if the merger had become effective on January 1, 2014, in the case of the net income and dividends declared data. The unaudited pro forma data in the table assume that the merger is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and represent a current estimate based on available information of the combined company’s results of operations. The pro forma financial adjustments record the assets and liabilities of OBA at their estimated fair values and are subject to adjustment as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The information in the following table is based on, and should be read together with F.N.B.’s historical financial statements and notes thereto incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus and with OBA’s historical financial statements and notes thereto presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information” on page [    ] and the consolidated financial statements of OBA beginning on page F-1.

This information is presented for illustrative purposes only. You should not rely on the pro forma combined or pro forma equivalent amounts as they are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the merger had been completed as of the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of the future operating results or financial position of the combined company that will result from the merger. The pro forma information, although helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the benefits of expected cost savings, opportunities to earn additional revenue, the impact of restructuring and merger-related costs, or other factors that may result as a consequence of the merger and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results.

OUR SPECIAL MEETING

This section contains information for our shareholders about the special meeting of shareholders we have called to consider approval of the merger, approval of the adjournment proposal and approval of the compensation proposal.

General

This proxy statement/prospectus is being provided to holders of OBA common stock as OBA’s proxy statement in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of its Board of Directors to be voted at the special meeting of OBA shareholders to be held on [                    ], 2014, and at any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting. This proxy statement/prospectus is also being provided to you as F.N.B.’s prospectus in connection with the offer and sale by F.N.B. of its shares of common stock as a result of the proposed merger.

Date, Time and Place of Meeting

The special meeting is scheduled to be held as follows:

Date: [                    ], 2014

Time: [                    ], Eastern Time

Place: OBA Bank Building Community Room, 20300 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown, Maryland

Purpose of the Shareholder Meeting

At the special meeting, OBA’s shareholders will be asked to:

 

    approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the merger (the “merger proposal”);

 

    approve one or more adjournments of the shareholder meeting, if necessary, including adjournments to permit further solicitation of proxies in favor of the merger proposal (the “adjournment proposal”);

 

    approve a non-binding advisory resolution approving certain compensation payable to the named executive officers of OBA in connection with the merger (the “compensation proposal”); and

 

    transact any other business that may properly come before the special meeting or any postponement or adjournment of the special meeting.

Recommendations of OBA’s Board of Directors

OBA’s Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR approval of the merger agreement and the merger, FOR approval of the proposal to adjourn the meeting if necessary to permit further solicitation of proxies on the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger and FOR the approval of the non-binding advisory resolution approving certain compensation payable to the named executive officers of OBA in connection with the merger.

Record Date; Shares Entitled to Vote

You are entitled to vote if the records of OBA showed that you held shares of OBA common stock as of the close of business on [                    ], 2014. Beneficial owners of shares held in the name of a broker, bank or other intermediary (“street name”) should instruct their record holder how to vote their shares. As of the close of business on the record date, a total of [            ] shares of OBA common stock were outstanding. Holders of record on the record date are entitled to one vote for each share then held. If you are a beneficial owner of shares of OBA common stock held in “street name” and you want to vote your shares in person at the meeting, you will have to get a written proxy in your name from the broker, bank or other intermediary who holds your shares.

 

31


Table of Contents

Quorum; Vote Required

The presence in person or by proxy of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at the special meeting. If you return valid proxy instructions or attend the meeting in person, your shares will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum, even if you abstain from voting. Broker non-votes also will be counted for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker, bank or other intermediary holding shares of OBA common stock for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the bank, broker or intermediary does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

With respect to the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, you may vote FOR the proposal, vote AGAINST the proposal or ABSTAIN from voting. Approval of the merger agreement and the merger will require the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of OBA common stock entitled to vote at the meeting. Failure to return a properly executed proxy card or to vote in person will have the same effect as a vote AGAINST the merger agreement. Broker non-votes and abstentions from voting will have the same effect as voting AGAINST the merger agreement.

With respect to the proposal to adjourn the meeting if necessary to permit further solicitation of proxies on the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, you may vote FOR the proposal, vote AGAINST the proposal or ABSTAIN from voting. The affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast is required to approve the proposal to adjourn the meeting if necessary to permit further solicitation of proxies on the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement.

With respect to the advisory vote on the non-binding resolution approving certain compensation payable to the named executive officers of OBA in connection with the merger, you may vote FOR the proposal, vote AGAINST the proposal or ABSTAIN from voting. To approve the non-binding resolution on an advisory basis, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the special meeting is required.

OBA Voting Agreements

As of [                    ], 2014, directors and executive officers of OBA beneficially owned [            ] shares of OBA common stock (including vested options). This equals [    ]% of the outstanding shares of OBA common stock, assuming the exercise in full of all vested options. As of the same date, neither F.N.B. nor any its subsidiaries, directors or executive officers owned any shares of OBA common stock. All of OBA’s directors entered into voting agreements with F.N.B. to vote the [            ] shares of OBA common stock owned by them in favor of the proposal to approve the merger agreement. For more information about the OBA voting agreements, see the section entitled “Other Material Agreements Relating to the Merger—Voting Agreements.”

Voting of Proxies

You may vote in person at the special meeting or by proxy. To ensure your representation at the special meeting, OBA recommends that you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the special meeting. You can always change your vote at the special meeting.

OBA shareholders whose shares are held in “street name” by their broker, bank or other intermediary must follow the instructions provided by their broker, bank or other intermediary to vote their shares. Your broker or bank may allow you to deliver your voting instructions via the telephone or the Internet. If your shares are held in “street name” and you wish to vote in person at the special meeting, you will have to obtain proper documentation from your record holder entitling you to vote at the special meeting.

Voting instructions are included on your proxy card. If you properly complete and timely submit your proxy, your shares will be voted as you have directed. You may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN with respect

 

32


Table of Contents

to each of the proposals. If you are the record holder of your shares of OBA common stock and submit your properly executed proxy without specifying a voting instruction, your shares of OBA common stock will be voted FOR the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, FOR the proposal to adjourn the meeting if necessary to permit further solicitation of proxies on the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, and FOR the approval of the non-binding advisory resolution approving certain compensation payable to the named executive officers of OBA in connection with the merger. If you return an incomplete instruction card to your broker, bank or other intermediary, it will not vote your shares with respect to any matter.

How to Revoke Your Proxy

You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by:

 

    filing with the Secretary of OBA a duly executed revocation of proxy;

 

    submitting a new proxy with a later date; or

 

    voting in person at the special meeting.

Attendance at the special meeting will not, in and of itself, constitute a revocation of a proxy. All written notices of revocation and other communication with respect to the revocation of proxies should be addressed to:

OBA Financial Services, Inc.

Donald L. Mallorey, Secretary

20300 Seneca Meadows Parkway

Germantown, Maryland 20876

If any matters not described in this document are properly presented at the special meeting, the persons named in the proxy card will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares. OBA does not know of any other matters to be presented at the meeting.

Voting in Person

If you plan to attend the OBA special meeting and wish to vote in person, you will be given a ballot at the meeting. Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other intermediary and you wish to vote at the OBA special meeting, you must bring additional documentation from the broker, bank or other intermediary in order to vote your shares. Whether or not you plan to attend the OBA special meeting, OBA requests that you complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the enclosed postage-paid envelope, or submit a proxy through the Internet or by telephone as described on the enclosed proxy card. This will not prevent you from voting in person at the OBA special meeting but will assure that your vote is counted if you are unable to attend.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

If you return valid proxy instructions or attend the meeting in person, we will count your shares for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum, even if you abstain from voting. Broker non-votes, if any, also will be counted for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. The effect that broker non-votes and abstentions will have on the voting results for each proposal is set forth below:

 

    On the proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger, broker non-votes and abstentions will have the same effect as a vote AGAINST the proposal.

 

    On the proposal to approval one or more adjournments of the special meeting, broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on the voting results.

 

    On the proposal to approve a non-binding advisory resolution approving certain compensation payable to the named executive officers of OBA in connection with the merger, broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on the voting results.

Proxy Solicitation

F.N.B. and OBA will share equally the cost of printing this proxy statement/prospectus and the filing fees paid to the SEC. OBA will pay all other costs for this proxy solicitation and the special meeting. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, Phoenix Advisory Partners, a proxy solicitation firm, will assist OBA in soliciting proxies for the special meeting. OBA will pay $5,500 (and expenses) for these services and will reimburse Phoenix Advisory Partners for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Additionally, directors, officers and employees of OBA and OBA Bank may solicit proxies personally and by telephone. None of these persons will receive additional or special compensation for soliciting proxies. OBA will, upon request, reimburse brokers, banks and other nominees for their expenses in sending proxy materials to their customers who are beneficial owners and obtaining their voting instructions.

Participants in OBA Bank’s ESOP and 401(k) Plan

If you participate in the OBA Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan or if you hold shares through the OBA Bank 401(k) Plan, you will receive a voting instruction card for each plan in which you participate that reflects all shares you may vote under each plan. Under the terms of the employee stock ownership plan, the trustee of the plan votes all shares held by the plan, but each plan participant may direct the trustee how to vote the shares of common stock allocated to his or her account. The trustee of the employee stock ownership plan, subject to the exercise of its fiduciary duties, will vote all unallocated shares of OBA common stock held by the plan and allocated shares for which no voting instructions are received in the same proportion as shares for which it has received timely voting instructions. Under the terms of the 401(k) plan, a participant is entitled to direct the trustee of the plan as to the shares in the OBA Financial Services, Inc. Stock Fund credited to his or her account. The trustee of the 401(k) plan will vote all shares for which no directions are given or for which instructions were not timely received in the same proportion as shares for which the trustee received voting instructions. The deadline for submitting your voting instructions is 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on [                    ], [                    ], 2014.

Questions and Additional Information

If you have questions about the merger or how to submit your proxy card, or if you would like additional copies of this proxy statement/prospectus or the proxy card we have enclosed with this proxy statement/prospectus, please call Charles E. Weller, our President and Chief Executive Officer, at (301) 916-0742, or call Phoenix Advisory Partners, the proxy soliciting firm we have retained, at (800) 499-8159.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND THE MERGER

At OBA’s special meeting of shareholders, shareholders will consider and vote on a proposal to approve the merger agreement and the merger. Details about the merger, including each party’s reasons for the merger, the effect of approval of the merger agreement and the merger and the timing of effectiveness of the merger, are discussed in the section entitled “The Merger Agreement” beginning on page [    ] of this document.

Approval of the merger proposal requires the presence of a quorum and the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of OBA entitled to vote at the meeting.

Recommendation of the OBA Board of Directors

The OBA Board of Directors unanimously recommends that OBA shareholders vote FOR approval of the merger agreement and the merger.

Overview of the Merger

F.N.B.’s and OBA’s Boards of Directors have each unanimously approved the merger agreement and the merger. Pursuant to the merger agreement, OBA will merge with and into F.N.B. As a result of the merger, OBA’s separate corporate existence will cease and F.N.B. will be the surviving corporation. F.N.B.’s articles of incorporation and bylaws will govern the surviving corporation and the persons who served as F.N.B.’s officers and directors immediately before the merger also will be the officers and directors of the surviving corporation. For information about the identities, backgrounds, compensation and certain other matters relating to F.N.B.’s directors and executive officers, please refer to F.N.B.’s proxy statement for its 2014 annual meeting of shareholders, which is incorporated by reference herein. See “Where You Can Find More Information” on page [    ]. The parties intend for the merger to be treated as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” on page [    ] for additional information.

Immediately after the merger of OBA into F.N.B. is completed, F.N.B.’s and OBA’s main operating subsidiaries, First National Bank of Pennsylvania, a national banking association, and OBA Bank, a federal savings bank, will merge, with First National Bank of Pennsylvania being the surviving entity. OBA Bank and First National Bank of Pennsylvania have entered into a merger agreement setting forth their agreement to merge and the terms and conditions of the merger. The form of the bank merger agreement is attached as Exhibit A to the merger agreement between F.N.B. and OBA.

All outstanding shares of OBA common stock will be cancelled as a result of the merger of OBA with and into F.N.B. As merger consideration in exchange for the cancelled shares, F.N.B. will issue shares of its common stock to all persons who were OBA common shareholders immediately before the merger occurred (excluding F.N.B., OBA and their subsidiaries, if any of them hold shares of OBA common stock). The number of shares of F.N.B. common stock each shareholder is entitled to receive will be calculated based on a fixed exchange ratio of 1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock for each share of OBA common stock that he or she holds. No fractional shares of F.N.B. common stock will be issued in the merger. Instead, OBA shareholders will be entitled to receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of F.N.B. common stock they would otherwise be entitled to receive.

We can provide no assurance that the value of the 1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock you will be entitled to receive upon the merger will be substantially equivalent to the value of 1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock at the time of our shareholder vote to approve the merger. Because the market value of F.N.B. common stock fluctuates, the value of the 1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock that you will receive as merger consideration will fluctuate correspondingly.

All shares of F.N.B. capital stock issued and outstanding as of the completion of the merger will remain outstanding and will be unaffected by the merger. F.N.B. common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE

under the symbol “FNB” following the merger. Based on information as of the record date, immediately after the merger is completed, holders of F.N.B. common stock will own approximately [    ] % of all outstanding shares of F.N.B. common stock, and holders of our common stock will own approximately [    ] % of all outstanding shares of F.N.B. common stock.

Background of the Merger

As part of its ongoing consideration and evaluation of OBA’s long-term prospects and strategy, the OBA Board of Directors and senior management have periodically reviewed and assessed strategic opportunities and challenges. In recent periods, OBA has remained profitable and maintained strong asset quality when many financial institutions have experienced operating losses and deteriorating asset quality. However, the Board of Directors has considered the difficulty in profitably growing and operating a financial institution under current economic and competitive conditions. At the same time, like most small financial institutions, OBA has experienced increasing costs for technology and regulatory compliance. The OBA Board of Directors and management have considered both internal growth strategies and strategic business combinations as means of achieving economies of scale.

In January 2013, an investment banking firm requested a meeting with Charles E. Weller, the President and Chief Executive Officer of OBA. With the approval of OBA’s Executive Committee, consisting of Chairman Beadles, Directors Reed and Belew, and Mr. Weller, Mr. Weller met with the investment banking firm. The investment banking firm represented a bank holding company based in the Washington, D.C. area and communicated the possible interest of the bank holding company in an acquisition of OBA. Following that meeting, Mr. Weller discussed the matter with OBA’s Executive Committee and legal counsel to apprise them of the results of this initial meeting. The Executive Committee authorized Mr. Weller to meet with a representative of the bank holding company, subject to the execution of a mutual non-disclosure agreement.

On February 13, 2013, Mr. Weller met with a banking consultant based in the Washington, D.C. area. The banking consultant represented a second bank holding company headquartered in the Washington, D.C. area, and proposed an opportunity for a “merger of equals” between OBA and the second bank holding company.

On February 15, 2013, Mr. Weller met with members of senior management of the first bank holding company. The parties discussed the recent histories of their institutions, personal backgrounds, management styles, strategic changes within their institutions and credit culture. The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the first bank holding company advised Mr. Weller that the first bank holding company had an excellent record of organic growth but had tried unsuccessfully numerous times to acquire local community banks. The first bank holding company was interested in expanding its branch presence in Montgomery County, Maryland and its preliminary analysis of banks in that market led to an interest in OBA. Deal specifics were not discussed, other than the expectation that consideration would be in the form of stock and cash, given OBA’s excess capital position. Mr. Weller indicated that he would present the substance of their discussion to the OBA Board of Directors and then advise the first bank holding company of OBA’s position.

On February 19, 2013, the investment banking firm that had set up the initial meeting between OBA and the first bank holding company called Mr. Weller to summarize their understanding of the meeting, and to indicate that they expected an offer from the first bank holding company to purchase OBA, which might consist of 50% stock and 50% cash, with the stock portion of the consideration valued at $21.00 per share of OBA common stock.

At the regularly scheduled meeting held February 21, 2013, the Board of Directors discussed the recent meetings and telephone call that Mr. Weller had regarding the first and second bank holding companies. The Board of Directors determined at that time to continue to execute on its strategic business plan as an independent organization. Mr. Weller was instructed to contact the first bank holding company and advise it of OBA’s position. Mr. Weller was also authorized to pursue further discussions with representatives of the second bank holding company.

On February 22, 2013, at a community bank seminar held in Maryland, Mr. Weller was approached by the Chief Executive Officer of a third bank holding company, who asked Mr. Weller to keep the third bank holding company in mind should OBA ever consider partnering with another local bank. This meeting had not been planned. On that same day, Mr. Weller met with the Chief Executive Officer of a fourth bank holding company, which meeting was previously discussed with OBA’s Executive Committee, who also asked Mr. Weller to keep the fourth bank holding company in mind should OBA ever consider merging with another institution. Mr. Weller informed the executives of the third and fourth bank holding companies of the OBA Board’s current intention to continue to pursue its strategic business plan. Similarly, in February 2013, Mr. Weller also informed a senior executive of the first bank holding company of the Board’s intention to pursue its strategic business plan for OBA to continue as an independent organization.

On February 26, 2013, Mr. Weller also met with members of senior management of the second bank holding company. Both parties discussed the histories of their institutions, with information provided based upon publicly known historical data or public regulatory filings. The parties agreed to individually assess the meeting to determine if any further action was warranted, and that a representative of the second bank holding company would contact OBA in the future.

Mr. Weller held an additional meeting with representatives of the second bank holding company in March 2013 at which time Mr. Weller indicated that, due to the large disparity in capital between OBA and the second bank holding company, OBA would view the transaction as OBA’s acquiring the second bank holding company, and not as a merger of equals. At the regularly scheduled meeting held April 18, 2013, the Board of Directors discussed Mr. Weller’s meetings with the second bank holding company and reviewed the second bank holding company’s recent operating history and the risks to OBA related to an acquisition of the second bank holding company. Based upon the Board’s review of these issues, the Board determined not to continue discussions with the second bank holding company.

In July 2013, Mr. Weller met with a senior executive of the first bank holding company at the request of the senior executive. The senior executive advised that the first bank holding company still believed that a merger of OBA and the first bank holding company would be very positive for both parties, and that the first bank holding company remained very interested in pursuing a transaction with OBA. The senior executive indicated the company’s desire to send a letter to OBA outlining their ideas on the structure of a proposed transaction, but would not do so if it would be received negatively by OBA’s Board of Directors. Mr. Weller indicated his belief that the members of the OBA Board of Directors would be willing to review such a letter.

On September 13, 2013, the same senior executive of the first bank holding company contacted Mr. Weller to reiterate the first bank holding company’s ongoing interest and willingness to proceed promptly. Mr. Weller agreed to speak with the senior executive on September 16, 2013. During the conversation on September 16, 2013, the senior executive discussed the first bank holding company’s recently announced agreement to acquire another bank holding company, which was the second bank holding company with which OBA had previously held discussions. The senior executive indicated that the first bank holding company would be sending OBA a letter of interest providing a range of pricing for an acquisition based upon the first bank holding company’s estimate of cost savings and assumed credit marks derived from publicly available information. The first bank holding company indicated its preference to negotiate on an exclusive basis with OBA. Mr. Weller received the confidential letter of interest from the first bank holding company on September 16, 2013.

The letter of interest indicated a pricing range of 135% to 150% of tangible book value in stock for OBA’s common equity up to 8% of assets, with cash to be paid at a price of 100% for any equity in excess of 8%. Each of the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors discussed the letter of interest on September 19, 2013, the day of a regularly scheduled board meeting, and instructed Mr. Weller to organize a special meeting with a nationally recognized investment banking firm that had previously provided assistance to the Board of Directors, and with OBA’s corporate counsel, Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C.

The Board held a special meeting on October 1, 2013. At this meeting, a representative of the first investment banking firm reviewed with the Board of Directors an overview of the current equity markets and the deposit market share of financial institutions in the State of Maryland. The investment banking firm then reviewed with the Board an overview of the mergers and acquisitions market, including recent transactions in the Washington, D.C. area, and emerging trends in mergers and acquisitions. The investment banking firm reviewed OBA’s financial performance and condition and discussed 26 potential strategic partners for OBA where OBA would be acquired or where the transaction would be a merger of equals. These potential strategic partners consisted of financial institutions either operating in the Washington, D.C. region or, to the knowledge of the first investment banking firm, had an interest in operating in the region, and in either case were large enough to complete a transaction with OBA. These entities included F.N.B., the first bank holding company, the third bank holding company and the fourth bank holding company. The investment banking firm provided a range of potential merger values for OBA under different pricing circumstances, noting that the median price to tangible book value per share for transactions since January 1, 2008 with an announced deal value where the target was headquartered in Washington, D.C., Maryland or Virginia was 107%. The investment banking firm reviewed its mergers and acquisitions experience, and then distributed an analysis of the letter of interest from the first bank holding company. The analysis indicated that the first bank holding company was offering total consideration of between $20.25 and $21.38 per share of OBA common stock, which equated to tangible book value per share between 119% and 121%.

Following the presentation by the first investment banking firm, counsel reviewed the Board’s fiduciary duties in general as well as the Board’s fiduciary duties in the context of a merger transaction. The Board determined not to act on the letter of interest from the first bank holding company at that time, pending further discussion and review by the Board.

On October 4, 2013, Mr. Weller met with representatives of Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc. (“Sterne Agee”), a nationally recognized investment banking firm with significant experience in mergers and acquisitions. Sterne Agee provided Mr. Weller with a banking market overview, a situational analysis of OBA, strategic alternatives and potential merger partners, an overview of a possible combination of OBA with F.N.B. and a pro forma analysis of such a combination. Sterne Agee indicated that a potential transaction with F.N.B. was discussed at a recent meeting between Sterne Agee and F.N.B. Sterne Agee had called on F.N.B. in September 2013 to present a list of several financial institutions as potential acquisition opportunities for F.N.B., which included OBA. Sterne Agee indicated to OBA that F.N.B. had a continuing interest in pursuing acquisition opportunities in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan market, having recently acquired community banks in Annapolis and Baltimore. Sterne Agee suggested a meeting between F.N.B. and OBA to have an initial discussion regarding a potential business combination.

At the regularly scheduled meeting held October 17, 2013, the Board of Directors discussed the letter of interest received from the first bank holding company. Based in part on the valuation of OBA as prepared by the first investment banking firm and the range of values contained in the letter of interest, the Board determined that it would not proceed with a negotiated transaction exclusively with the first bank holding company based upon the terms of the letter of interest and instructed Mr. Weller to advise the first bank holding company accordingly. Mr. Weller also advised the Board of Directors with respect to his discussions with Sterne Agee, and the Board of Directors authorized Mr. Weller to have an introductory meeting with the Chief Executive Officer of F.N.B.

Over the next few weeks, Sterne Agee provided valuation analyses to Mr. Weller. On November 19, 2013, Mr. Weller met with F.N.B.’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Vincent J. Delie, Jr., and Chief Financial Officer, Vincent J. Calabrese, Jr. Messrs. Delie and Calabrese provided financial and other information about F.N.B. to Mr. Weller. Mr. Delie advised Mr. Weller that F.N.B. was very interested in a potential business combination with OBA, but that F.N.B. would not take any preemptive actions such as providing a letter of interest unless OBA also indicated interest in further discussions. Messrs. Delie and Calabrese indicated a range of value between $22.00 and $25.00 per share of OBA common stock in an all-stock transaction based on publicly available information.

At the regularly scheduled meeting held November 21, 2013, Mr. Weller briefed the directors on his meeting with the representatives of F.N.B. The Board noted the superiority of the price range and amount of stock offered by F.N.B. as compared to the proposal from the first bank holding company. The Board believed that further assessment of this opportunity was in the best interests of shareholders. The Board authorized Mr. Weller to have Sterne Agee prepare a situation analysis for presentation to and discussion with the Board at a future date.

At a special board meeting held on December 10, 2013, representatives of Sterne Agee reviewed their firm’s general experience, and, in particular, its extensive experience with mergers and acquisitions involving financial institutions, and an overview of issues facing financial institutions and the recent performance of the capital markets. Sterne Agee discussed the reasons for recent increases in mergers and acquisitions involving financial institutions, as well as the pricing history of recent transactions in the Washington, D.C. area. Sterne Agee provided information as to its understanding of OBA’s operations as well as its shareholder base, and reviewed OBA’s projected operating results on a stand-alone basis. Sterne Agee compared these projected operating results against the value of OBA on a stand-alone basis and against the pricing of recent merger and acquisition transactions. Sterne Agee specifically noted that the mean transaction value of merger and acquisition transactions completed in the Northeast United States announced since 2012 where the target company had assets between $300 million and $700 million and non-performing assets to total assets of less than 3.0% was 137.0% of tangible book value and 146.6% of core tangible book value. The range of prices offered by F.N.B. to acquire OBA equated to a price to tangible book value of between 124% and 141% and a price to core tangible book value of between 151% and 193% per share. Sterne Agee then discussed the advantages and disadvantages of merging with another financial institution in a negotiated transaction, and then provided information with respect to F.N.B.’s operations, operating history and recent acquisitions in Annapolis and Baltimore, Maryland.

The Board of Directors reviewed with Sterne Agee an analysis of the potential prices per share of OBA common stock that 17 other potential merger partners could theoretically pay, both in a stock and cash scenario, and in an all-stock scenario, and also reviewed an analysis of the financial effects on these other companies in a 100% stock transaction valued at $23.00 per share. These potential merger partners consisted of financial institutions with assets between $1.0 billion and $20.0 billion and a branch office within 25 miles of an OBA branch office. Eleven of the 17 potential partners were on the list of strategic partners discussed by the first investment banker, and included the first bank holding company, the third bank holding company and the fourth bank holding company. The Board of Directors discussed F.N.B.’s attractive dividend yield compared to other potential purchasers, and considered F.N.B.’s financial metrics on a pro forma basis giving effect to an acquisition of OBA by F.N.B. Sterne Agee noted that F.N.B.’s ability to issue 100% stock in a merger with OBA would provide a tax-free transaction to all OBA shareholders that would also enable OBA shareholders to participate in potential increases in F.N.B.’s stock price, while the liquidity of F.N.B.’s common stock would simultaneously provide significantly greater opportunity for OBA shareholders who wished to sell their shares following the completion of the merger. The offer from F.N.B. also represented a significant immediate premium (between 19% and 35%) compared to OBA’s current market value. Sterne Agee also indicated its belief that a price to acquire OBA that could be achieved in an auction process was not likely to be superior to F.N.B.’s indicated price range.

At a special board meeting held December 19, 2013, the Board of Directors reviewed OBA’s strategic options. The discussion began with a thorough review of the matters discussed over the past 18 months during the strategy sessions held by the Board of Directors and senior management. The review included matters discussed with counsel, with an outside financial advisor who assisted with updating OBA’s strategic business plan, and as part of investment bankers’ presentations. The Board of Directors noted that OBA’s total assets had not grown despite the recent shift in OBA’s business model from a retail customer focus to a small business focus. Economic conditions constrained growth in net interest income, and competition remained intense. Overhead costs remained a concern, and the growing regulatory compliance burden has had a particularly negative effect on smaller companies such as OBA. The Board of Directors expected that activist shareholders would continue to pressure OBA to provide a higher rate of return on the shareholders’ investment, and noted

that growing OBA in a manner that would increase the rates of return currently provided to shareholders would be expensive, would not guarantee desired results, and would require taking additional risk that could prove harmful to OBA and its shareholders. At the conclusion of this discussion, the Board of Directors voted unanimously to seek a strategic alliance with another financial institution.

Based upon the decision made at the December 19, 2013 board meeting, on January 8, 2014, the Board of Directors held a special meeting to discuss whether to initiate discussions with respect to a transaction with F.N.B., and what investment banker to use to assist the Board of Directors in the process. Counsel again reviewed with the directors the advantages and disadvantages of a negotiated transaction versus an auction process, and counsel again reviewed with the directors their fiduciary duties in merger transactions. It was noted that the price range offered by F.N.B. was materially better than the price that had been offered by the first bank holding company, and that F.N.B. paid significant dividends. Following discussion, the Board of Directors voted to initiate discussions with respect to a negotiated transaction with F.N.B. The Board of Directors considered whether to hire Sterne Agee or the first investment banking firm, and the Board voted to hire Sterne Agee as OBA’s investment banker with respect to the transaction. On January 8, 2014, Mr. Weller notified Mr. Delie of the Board’s decision to continue discussions with F.N.B. regarding a potential business combination, and on January 14, 2014, OBA formally engaged Sterne Agee to serve as OBA’s investment banker.

On January 17, 2014, Sterne Agee, on behalf of OBA, executed a confidentiality agreement with F.N.B., which had been reviewed previously by OBA’s counsel, for the purpose of permitting F.N.B. to conduct their due diligence investigation of OBA. On February 6, 2014, management of OBA had an initial meeting with management of F.N.B., with representatives of Sterne Agee present at the meeting. The parties agreed that actual due diligence would not begin until F.N.B. furnished OBA with a letter of intent with respect to the transaction.

On February 10, 2014, F.N.B.’s investment banker, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, provided Sterne Agee with a non-binding letter of intent from F.N.B. containing a price range of $21.00 to $23.00 per share of OBA common stock in an all-stock transaction. The price offered was subject to completion of due diligence, as well as OBA agreeing to provide F.N.B. with an eight-week period during which OBA would negotiate exclusively with F.N.B. Sterne Agee discussed the letter of intent with Mr. Weller, and it was determined that Sterne Agee would seek a new letter of intent with a price of $23.00 per share of OBA common stock. On February 12, 2014, F.N.B. provided OBA with a revised non-binding letter of intent containing a price of $23.00 per share of OBA common stock in an all-stock transaction. On February 13, 2014, F.N.B. provided OBA with a form of exclusivity agreement referenced in the letter of intent. In mid-February 2014, F.N.B. also informed OBA in general terms of F.N.B.’s approach with respect to employee-related issues, specifically, severance policy for employees not subject to an employment agreement, and eligibility to participate in benefit plans and welfare plans. At this time, F.N.B. did not discuss its intentions with respect to management or directors of OBA.

At a special board meeting held February 16, 2014, Sterne Agee reviewed the letter of intent, and provided a valuation analysis of OBA and considerations for a potential business combination with F.N.B. The Board discussed whether the price offered justified OBA pursuing a negotiated transaction exclusively with F.N.B. rather than conducting an auction process. It was noted by Sterne Agee that the price offered exceeded the median price on a core deposit premium basis (7.6% compared to 6.8%) and a price to core tangible book value basis (176.0% compared to 156.4%, with core capital defined as 8.0% of tangible common equity to tangible assets), and significantly exceeded the median price on a long term earnings per share basis (75.3x compared to 18.7x) when compared to mergers in the Northeastern United States announced since 2012 where the target company had assets between $300 million and $700 million and non-performing assets to total assets of less than 3.0%. The Board of Directors also discussed F.N.B.’s recent earnings per share growth and the significant dividend yield (4.9%) that would inure to the benefit of OBA’s existing shareholders. Based on the presentation by Sterne Agee and their belief that F.N.B. was offering a very attractive price range and financial benefits to OBA’s shareholders, the Board agreed to pursue negotiations with F.N.B. on an exclusive basis for the period described in the letter of intent.

Mr. Weller negotiated the terms of the exclusivity agreement with the assistance of OBA’s legal counsel and Sterne Agee, and executed the exclusivity agreement on February 20, 2014. F.N.B. began conducting its due diligence review of OBA promptly thereafter, and senior management of OBA, with counsel and representatives of Sterne Agee, conducted in-person document review and management interviews of F.N.B. on March 11, 2014.

On March 14, 2014, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, on behalf of F.N.B., provided Sterne Agee with a revised, non-binding letter of intent, which reflected the results of F.N.B.’s due diligence process. The revised letter provided for proposed consideration of 1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock for each share of common stock of OBA. The revised letter also indicated F.N.B.’s intention to honor all executive severance agreements, individual change of control agreements, retention agreements and other benefit agreements. Over the next few days, Sterne Agee engaged in discussions with RBC Capital Markets, LLC in an effort to increase the consideration to be paid for each share of common stock of OBA.

At OBA’s regular board meeting held March 20, 2014, Sterne Agee reviewed the terms of the revised letter of intent. Because the Board had not conducted an auction process, Sterne Agee again reviewed with the Board of Directors the potential prices that could be paid by other companies who might be interested in acquiring OBA. These were the same companies reviewed by Sterne Agee at the Board meeting on December 10, 2013. It was noted that the actual price offered by F.N.B. of $23.56 per share, based upon the price of F.N.B.’s common stock as of the close of trading on March 19, 2014, was more than $0.60 higher than hypothetical prices that could be offered by other companies in a transaction where at least 50% of the consideration consisted of stock of the acquirer and where the price offered provided a minimum internal rate of return of 12.0%, a maximum tangible book value earnback of five years and maximum tangible book value dilution of 8.0%. The actual price offered by F.N.B. was $1.56 higher than Sterne Agee’s estimate of the highest price that could be paid by the first bank holding company using these same transaction constraints. Senior management and counsel also discussed the results of their due diligence review of F.N.B. Based upon the Sterne Agee presentation, the presentations of management and counsel, and following discussion among the Board members, the Board of Directors agreed to accept the terms of the revised letter of intent, subject to the negotiation of a satisfactory definitive merger agreement. Sterne Agee notified RBC Capital Markets, LLC of the Board’s determination, and counsel for F.N.B. provided an initial draft of the merger agreement on March 21, 2014.

On March 28, 2014, the Board of Directors held a special meeting, during which management, Sterne Agee and legal counsel reviewed the draft merger agreement in detail with the Board of Directors. Legal counsel again discussed the fiduciary obligations of the Board of Directors with respect to merger transactions. Following this meeting, the parties continued negotiations regarding the terms of the merger agreement and exchanged drafts of and comments on the merger agreement. In addition, on the evening of March 31, 2014, counsel for F.N.B. provided OBA’s counsel with an initial draft of an executive compensation proposal for Mr. Weller. Counsel for F.N.B. and OBA exchanged further revised drafts of an executive compensation proposal for Mr. Weller on April 2 and 3, 2014.

At a special board meeting held April 3, 2014, legal counsel again reviewed the draft merger agreement, and also discussed with the Board of Directors the changes that had been made to the merger agreement since the Board of Directors’ previous review on March 28, 2014. Following this meeting, the parties continued negotiations regarding the definitive merger agreement and ancillary documents. On April 4, 2014, counsel for F.N.B. provided an initial draft of executive compensation proposals for OBA’s four executive officers other than Mr. Weller.

At a special board meeting held April 7, 2014, legal counsel discussed with the Board of Directors the changes that had been made to the merger agreement since the Board of Directors’ previous review on April 3, 2014, and discussed the status of executive compensation proposals for all five of OBA’s executive officers. Also, representatives of Sterne Agee discussed with the Board of Directors a range of matters, including the matters set forth in “—Opinion of OBA’s Financial Advisor.” After this discussion, Sterne Agee provided the Board of Directors its oral opinion (subsequently confirmed in writing) that, as of the date of the merger agreement, and based upon and subject to the considerations described in its opinion, the proposed merger consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to holders of OBA common stock.

Following these presentations, the board meeting continued with discussions and questions among the members of the Board, Sterne Agee and legal counsel. After further discussion, and taking into consideration the factors described under “—OBA’s Reasons for the Merger,” the Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve the merger agreement in substantially the form presented, to recommend that OBA shareholders vote to approve the merger and adopt the merger agreement and to authorize management to finalize and execute the merger agreement and all related documents.

Following approval of the Board of Directors, on April 7, 2014 the parties executed the merger agreement. OBA and F.N.B. issued a joint press release publicly announcing the transaction prior to the opening of the financial markets on April 8, 2014.

OBA’s Reasons for the Merger

In approving the merger agreement, OBA’s Board of Directors consulted with Sterne Agee regarding the financial aspects and the fairness of the transaction from a financial point-of-view and with OBA’s legal counsel as to the Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties and the terms of the merger agreement. In arriving at its decision to approve the merger agreement and the merger, the Board of Directors also considered a number of factors, including:

 

    The form and amount of the merger consideration, including the tax effects of stock consideration compared to cash consideration.

 

    OBA shareholders will receive F.N.B. common stock in exchange for their shares of OBA common stock, enabling them to participate in any growth opportunities of the combined company.

 

    F.N.B. currently pays an annual cash dividend of $0.48 per share (or an implied annual dividend of approximately $0.85 per share of OBA common stock based on the exchange ratio of 1.781 F.N.B. shares for each OBA share), while OBA currently does not pay cash dividends.

 

    The enhanced trading liquidity of F.N.B.’s common stock compared to that of OBA.

 

    The results that OBA could expect to obtain for its shareholders by continuing to operate independently in a very competitive market and the likelihood of the continued profitable and independent operation of OBA, compared to the current and prospective value of the merger consideration offered by F.N.B.

 

    The perceived risks to shareholder value presented by continued independent operations, including risks relating to the inherent uncertainties about future growth, performance and economic and regulatory conditions.

 

    Information concerning the business, earnings, operations, financial condition, valuation and prospects of OBA and F.N.B., both individually and as a combined company.

 

    The likelihood of the transaction receiving the requisite regulatory approvals in a timely manner and without imposition of burdensome conditions.

 

    F.N.B.’s proven track record of successfully completing acquisition transactions.

 

    The opinion rendered by Sterne Agee, as of April 7, 2014, that the exchange ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to OBA’s shareholders.

 

    The terms of the merger agreement and the structure of the merger, including that the merger is intended to qualify as a transaction of a type that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

   

The effect of the merger on OBA Bank’s customers, and the communities served by OBA Bank, as well as its effect on OBA Bank’s employees. OBA’s directors deemed the merger with F.N.B. to be an opportunity to provide customers, and the communities served by OBA Bank with increased financial services and increased access to those services through more branch offices. OBA’s directors also considered the opportunities for career advancement in a larger organization that would be available to

 

42


Table of Contents
 

OBA employees who continue employment with the combined company after the merger and the severance benefits provided for in the merger agreement and under F.N.B.’s policies for any OBA employees who do not continue employment with the combined company.

OBA’s Board of Directors also considered potential risks associated with the merger in connection with its decision to approve the merger agreement and the merger, including that other parties that might be interested in proposing a transaction with OBA could be discouraged from doing so given the terms of the merger agreement generally prohibiting OBA from soliciting, engaging in discussions or providing information regarding an alternative transaction, requiring OBA to pay a termination fee to F.N.B. under certain circumstances, and requiring OBA’s directors to execute agreements requiring them to vote in favor of the merger with F.N.B., all of which F.N.B. required as a condition to agreeing to enter into the merger agreement.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by OBA’s Board of Directors is not exhaustive, but includes the material factors that the Board of Directors considered and discussed in approving and recommending the merger agreement and the merger. In view of the wide variety of factors considered and discussed by OBA’s Board of Directors in connection with its evaluation of the merger and the complexity of these factors, the Board of Directors did not quantify, rank or assign any relative or specific weight to the foregoing factors. Rather, it considered all of the factors as a whole. The Board of Directors discussed the foregoing factors, including asking questions of OBA’s management and legal and financial advisors, and agreed that the merger was in the best interests of OBA and its shareholders. In considering the foregoing factors, individual directors may have assigned different weights to different factors. The Board of Directors did not undertake to make any specific determination as to whether any factor, or particular aspect of any factor, supported or did not support its ultimate decision to approve the merger agreement and the merger. The foregoing explanation of the reasoning of OBA’s Board of Directors and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the cautionary statements set forth in “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page [    ].

F.N.B.’s Reasons for the Merger

F.N.B. is committed to pursuing several key strategies, including realization of organic growth and supplementing that growth through strategic acquisitions.

In approving the merger agreement, F.N.B.’s board of directors and the executive committee of its board of directors considered the following factors as generally supporting their decision to approve the merger agreement:

 

    Their understanding of F.N.B.’s business, operations, financial condition, earnings and prospects, and of OBA’s business, operations, financial condition, earnings and prospects;

 

    Their understanding of the current and prospective environments in which F.N.B. and OBA operate, including regional and local economic conditions, the competitive environment for financial institutions generally, continuing consolidation in the financial services industry and the likely effect of these factors on F.N.B. in light of, and in the absence of, the proposed merger;

 

    The expansion of F.N.B.’s operations and customer base in Maryland into the Baltimore metropolitan area and into Montgomery County, Maryland (which is also part of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area), would be consistent with F.N.B.’s acquisition strategy of focusing on major Metropolitan Statistical Areas with significant commercial opportunities within the F.N.B. market footprint;

 

    F.N.B. can leverage its existing infrastructure in the Baltimore Metropolitan Statistical Area, including its leadership and management personnel, in operating the combined company;

 

    The complementary nature of the respective customer bases, business products and services of F.N.B. and OBA that could result in opportunities to obtain synergies as products are cross-marketed and distributed over broader customer bases;

 

43


Table of Contents
    The scale, scope, strength and diversity of operations, product lines and delivery systems that combining F.N.B. and OBA could achieve;

 

    The ability of F.N.B. to offer OBA’s customer base more diverse financial products which are not currently offered by OBA;

 

    The increased credit capability achieved by combining F.N.B. and OBA would enhance competition in the markets in which OBA currently operates;

 

    The historical and current market prices of F.N.B. common stock and OBA common stock;

 

    The review by the F.N.B. board of directors, with the assistance of F.N.B.’s management and F.N.B.’s financial advisor, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, of the structure and terms of the merger, including the exchange ratio, and the expectation of F.N.B.’s legal advisors that the merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

 

    The financial impact of the acquisition on F.N.B.’s operating results and capital levels on a pro forma basis;

 

    The likelihood that F.N.B. and OBA would obtain the regulatory approvals needed to complete the merger; and

 

    The likelihood that OBA would receive the requisite OBA shareholder vote to approve the merger.

F.N.B.’s board of directors and the executive committee of its board also considered the fact that the merger will result in a combined entity with assets of approximately $14.9 billion. F.N.B. expects the future growth prospects of OBA’s market area to provide business development opportunities in Maryland.

The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by F.N.B.’s board of directors and the executive committee of its board in evaluating the merger agreement is not intended to be exhaustive, but, rather, includes all material factors that they considered. In reaching their decision to approve the merger agreement and the merger, the F.N.B. board and the executive committee of the F.N.B. board did not quantify or assign relative weights to the factors considered, and individual directors may have given different weights to different factors. The F.N.B. board and the executive committee of the F.N.B. board considered all of the above factors as a whole, and on an overall basis considered them to be favorable to, and support, F.N.B.’s determination to enter into the merger agreement.

Opinion of OBA’s Financial Advisor in Connection with the Merger

On January 14, 2014, OBA engaged Sterne Agee to render financial advisory and investment banking services to OBA. Sterne Agee agreed to assist OBA in analyzing, structuring and negotiating the merger with F.N.B. and was also engaged to render a written opinion to OBA’s Board of Directors as to whether the merger consideration pursuant to the merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to OBA’s shareholders. OBA selected Sterne Agee because Sterne Agee is a nationally recognized investment banking firm with substantial experience in transactions similar to the merger and is familiar with OBA and its business. As part of its investment banking business, Sterne Agee is continually engaged in the valuation of financial services companies and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions.

Other than with respect to the proposed merger, Sterne Agee has had no other relationship with OBA in the past two years.

As part of its engagement, representatives of Sterne Agee attended the meeting of the OBA Board of Directors held on April 7, 2014, at which the OBA Board of Directors evaluated the proposed merger with F.N.B. At this meeting, Sterne Agee reviewed with the Board of Directors the financial aspects of the proposed merger and rendered an opinion that, as of such date, and based upon and subject to the various factors, assumptions and limitations set forth in its opinion, the consideration offered to OBA shareholders in the merger

was fair from a financial point of view. Following extensive review and discussion at the meeting, the OBA Board of Directors approved the merger agreement, including the consideration offered to OBA shareholders.

The full text of Sterne Agee’s written opinion is attached as Appendix C to this document and is incorporated herein by reference. Sterne Agee’s opinion was approved by Sterne Agee’s fairness opinion committee. OBA shareholders are urged to read the opinion in its entirety for a description of the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by Sterne Agee. The description of the opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion. Sterne Agee has consented to the inclusion of this summary of its opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Sterne Agee’s opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion is directed to the OBA Board of Directors and addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration offered to the OBA shareholders. It does not address the underlying business decision to proceed with the merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any OBA shareholder as to how the shareholder should vote at the OBA special meeting on the merger or any related matter. Sterne Agee did not receive any limitations or instructions from OBA with respect to its opinion.

In rendering its opinion, Sterne Agee reviewed, among other things:

 

    the merger agreement dated as of April 7, 2014;

 

    certain publicly-available financial and business information of OBA, F.N.B. and their affiliates which Sterne Agee deemed to be relevant;

 

    certain information, including financial forecasts, relating to the business, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities, liquidity and prospects of OBA and F.N.B.;

 

    certain information relating to the merger that was prepared by OBA, F.N.B. and their affiliates and by their legal and accounting advisors including the estimated amount and timing of restructuring charges and the cost savings and synergies expected to result from the merger (the “synergies”);

 

    the comparison of certain financial metrics of OBA and F.N.B. to other selected banks and thrifts that Sterne Agee deemed to be relevant;

 

    the potential pro forma financial impact of the merger on the future financial performance of the combined company, including the potential effect on OBA’s and F.N.B.’s estimated earnings per share and tangible book value per share after giving effect to the exchange ratio;

 

    the relative ownership percentages of shareholders of OBA on a pro forma basis following the closing of the merger;

 

    the recent publicly reported trading prices of OBA and F.N.B.;

 

    the overall business environment for depository institutions in the United States; and

 

    such other financial studies, analyses and investigations and such other matters as Sterne Agee deemed appropriate for purposes of Sterne Agee’s opinion, including its assessment of general economic, market and monetary conditions.

Sterne Agee also held several discussions with members of senior management and representatives of both OBA and F.N.B. with respect to certain aspects of the merger, as well as their respective businesses and prospects before and after giving effect to the merger and certain other matters Sterne Agee believed necessary or appropriate to its inquiry.

In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, Sterne Agee relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the information provided to it by OBA, F.N.B. and their affiliates. In addition, where appropriate, Sterne Agee relied upon publicly available information, without independent verification, that Sterne Agee believes to be

 

45


Table of Contents

reliable, accurate, and complete; however, Sterne Agee cannot guarantee the reliability, accuracy, or completeness of any such publicly available information. Sterne Agee was not engaged to express, and is not expressing, any opinion with respect to any other transaction, including any alternative transaction between OBA and F.N.B. With respect to the financial forecasts, including the synergies and restructuring charges, supplied to Sterne Agee, Sterne Agee assumed, with OBA’s consent, that they were reasonably prepared and reflected, as of the date of Sterne Agee’s opinion, the best currently available estimates and judgments of OBA and F.N.B. as to future operating and financial performance of OBA, F.N.B. and the combined company.

Sterne Agee did not make an independent evaluation of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of OBA, F.N.B. or their affiliates, including, but not limited to, any derivative or off-balance sheet assets or liabilities nor did Sterne Agee conduct any review of individual credit files of OBA or F.N.B., evaluate the adequacy of the loan or lease loss reserves of OBA or F.N.B. or evaluate the solvency of OBA or F.N.B. under any state or federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. Sterne Agee rendered no opinion or evaluation on the collectability of any asset or the future performance of any loan of OBA or F.N.B. Sterne Agee and its employees are not experts in the evaluation of loan or lease portfolios for assessing the adequacy of the allowances for losses with respect thereto. Accordingly, Sterne Agee did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses of OBA or F.N.B. or the credit mark assumed taken in the merger, and Sterne Agee has assumed, with OBA’s consent, that the respective allowances for loan and lease losses for both OBA and F.N.B. , as well as the credit mark, are adequate to cover such losses and will be adequate on a pro forma basis for the combined company. Sterne Agee has relied upon and assumed, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by Sterne Agee.

The projections furnished to Sterne Agee and used by it in certain of its analyses were prepared by OBA’s senior management team. OBA does not publicly disclose internal management projections of the type provided to Sterne Agee in connection with its review of the merger. As a result, such projections were not prepared with a view towards public disclosure. The projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions, which are inherently uncertain, including factors related to general economic and competitive conditions. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in the projections.

For purposes of rendering its opinion, Sterne Agee assumed that, in all respects material to its analyses:

 

    the merger will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the merger agreement with no additional payments or adjustments to the merger consideration;

 

    the representations and warranties of each party in the merger agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the merger agreement are true and correct;

 

    each party to the merger agreement and all related documents will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under such documents;

 

    all conditions to the completion of the merger will be satisfied without any waiver; and

 

    in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the merger, no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity or the contemplated benefits of the merger, including the cost savings and related expenses expected to result from the merger.

Sterne Agee further assumed that the merger will be accounted for as a purchase transaction under generally accepted accounting principles, and that the merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes. Sterne Agee’s opinion is not an expression of an opinion as to the prices at which shares of F.N.B. common stock will trade following the announcement of the merger or the actual value of the shares of common stock of the combined company when issued pursuant to the merger, or the price at which the shares of common stock of the combined company will trade following the completion of the merger.

Table of Contents

In performing its analyses, Sterne Agee made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, which are beyond the control of Sterne Agee, OBA and F.N.B. Any estimates contained in the analyses performed by Sterne Agee are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Additionally, estimates of the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which such businesses or securities might actually be sold. Accordingly, these analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. In addition, the Sterne Agee opinion was among several factors taken into consideration by the OBA Board of Directors in making its determination to approve the merger agreement and the merger. Consequently, the analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the decision of the OBA Board of Directors with respect to the fairness of the consideration.

The following is a summary of the material analyses presented by Sterne Agee to the OBA Board of Directors on April 7, 2014, in connection with its fairness opinion. The summary is not a complete description of the analyses underlying the Sterne Agee opinion or the presentation made by Sterne Agee to the OBA Board of Directors, but summarizes the material analyses performed and presented in connection with such opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytic process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. In arriving at its opinion, Sterne Agee did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that it considered, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. The financial analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. Accordingly, Sterne Agee believes that its analyses and the summary of its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on the information presented below in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion.

Summary of Proposal. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, upon the merger, the shares of OBA common stock, par value $0.01, shall be converted into the right to receive 1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock, par value $0.01. Based on F.N.B.’s closing price on April 4, 2014, of $13.39, the consideration was equivalent to a price of $23.85 per share to OBA’s shareholders.

Selected Publicly Traded Companies Analysis. Using publicly available information, Sterne Agee compared the financial performance, financial condition, and market performance of OBA to the following publicly traded banks and thrifts headquartered in the Mid-Atlantic and New England with total assets between $300 million and $600 million, nonperforming assets to total assets of less than 4.0%, and last twelve months return on average assets between 0.00% and 0.75%.

To perform this analysis, Sterne Agee used financial information as of the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013 (or as of the most recently available quarter). Market price information was as of April 4, 2014. Earnings estimates for 2014 and 2015 were taken from a nationally recognized earnings estimate consolidator, SNL Financial, for selected companies. No company used as a comparison in the analysis below is identical to OBA or F.N.B. Accordingly, an analysis of these results is not mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies.

Table of Contents

Transaction multiples for the merger were derived from an offer price of $23.85 per share for OBA based on F.N.B.’s April 4, 2014, closing price of $13.39. For each precedent transaction, Sterne Agee derived and compared, among other things, the implied ratio of price per common share paid for the acquired company to:

 

    tangible book value per share of the acquired company based on the latest public financial statements of the company available prior to the announcement of the acquisition;

 

    core tangible book value per share (defined as tangible common equity to tangible assets of 8.0%) of the acquired company based on the latest public financial statements of the company available prior to the announcement of the acquisition;

No company or transaction used as a comparison in the above analysis is identical to OBA, F.N.B. or the merger. Accordingly, an analysis of these results is not mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies.

Financial Impact Analysis. Sterne Agee performed pro forma merger analyses that combined projected income statement and balance sheet information of OBA and F.N.B. Assumptions regarding the accounting treatment, acquisition adjustments and cost savings and other synergies were used to calculate the financial impact that the merger would have on certain projected financial results of F.N.B. In the course of this analysis, Sterne Agee used earnings estimates for OBA for 2014, 2015 and 2016 (including assumed cost savings and other synergies) as provided by F.N.B.’s management, and for F.N.B. Sterne Agee used median research analyst estimates for 2014 and 2015. This analysis indicated that the merger is expected to be accretive to F.N.B.’s estimated earnings per share in 2015. The analysis also indicated that the merger is expected to be accretive to tangible book value per share for F.N.B. and accretive to F.N.B.’s tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, leverage ratio and total risk based capital ratio. For all of the above analyses, the actual results achieved by F.N.B. following the merger will vary from the projected results, and the variations may be material.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. Sterne Agee performed a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate a range of the present values of after-tax cash flows that OBA could provide to equity holders through fiscal year 2018 on a stand-alone basis. In performing this analysis, Sterne Agee used OBA’s management projections for fiscal years 2014 through 2016 and with respect to fiscal years 2017 and 2018 applied OBA Management earnings and balance sheet growth assumptions to derive projected after-tax cash flows. The analysis assumed discount rates ranging from 11.0% to 15.0%, which were assumed deviations, both up and down, as selected by Sterne Agee based on the OBA discount rate of 12.6% as determined by Sterne Agee. The discount rate was determined by adding the 20 year Treasury Bond rate (3.3%), the published Ibbotson equity risk premium (6.7%) multiplied by the adjusted beta for small composite commercial banks as published by Morningstar and the published Ibbotson size premium (6.0%). The range of values for the discounted cash flow analysis was determined by adding (1) the present value of projected cash flows to OBA’s shareholders from fiscal years 2014 to 2018 and (2) the present value of the terminal value of OBA’s common stock. In determining cash flows available to shareholders,

Table of Contents

Sterne Agee assumed that OBA would maintain a tangible common equity to tangible asset ratio of 8.00% and would retain sufficient earnings to maintain that level. Any earnings in excess of what would need to be retained represented dividendable cash flows for OBA. In calculating the terminal value of OBA, Sterne Agee applied multiples ranging from 13.0 times to 15.0 times fiscal year 2018 forecasted earnings. This resulted in a range of values of OBA from $13.91 to $15.42 per share.

Sterne Agee also performed a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate a range of the present values of after-tax cash flows that F.N.B. could provide to equity holders through fiscal year 2018 on a stand-alone basis. In performing this analysis, Sterne Agee used publicly available earnings estimates by research analysts covering F.N.B., which were discussed with senior management of F.N.B. for fiscal years 2014 and 2015, and with respect to fiscal years 2016 through 2018 applied an earnings growth rate of 5.0% to derive projected after-tax cash flows. The analysis assumed discount rates ranging from 8.0% to 12.0%, which were assumed deviations, both up and down, as selected by Sterne Agee based on the F.N.B. discount rate of 10.2% as determined by Sterne Agee. The discount rate was determined by adding the 20 year Treasury Bond rate (3.3%), the published Ibbotson equity risk premium (6.7%) multiplied by the adjusted beta for median composite commercial banks as published by Morningstar and the published Ibbotson size premium (1.1%). The range of values for the discounted cash flow analysis was determined by adding (1) the present value of projected cash flows to F.N.B.’s shareholders from fiscal years 2014 to 2018 and (2) the present value of the terminal value of F.N.B.’s common stock. In determining cash flows available to shareholders, Sterne Agee assumed that F.N.B. would maintain a tangible common equity to tangible asset ratio of 7.00% and would retain sufficient earnings to maintain that level. Any earnings in excess of what would need to be retained represented cash flows for F.N.B. that may be distributed as dividends. In calculating the terminal value of F.N.B., Sterne Agee applied multiples ranging from 14.0 times to 16.0 times fiscal year 2018 forecasted earnings. This resulted in a range of values of F.N.B. from $11.64 to $15.30 per share.

Sterne Agee stated that the discounted cash flow present value analysis is a widely used valuation methodology but noted that it relies on numerous assumptions, including asset and earnings growth rates, terminal values and discount rates. The analysis did not purport to be indicative of the actual values or expected values of OBA and F.N.B.

Other Analyses. Among other things, Sterne Agee also reviewed earnings estimates, balance sheet composition and other financial data for OBA and F.N.B. With respect to F.N.B.’s public price, Sterne Agee reviewed the public price targets of research analysts covering F.N.B. as provided by a nationally recognized research price target consolidator, FactSet, which ranged from $12.00 to $15.00.

The OBA Board of Directors has retained Sterne Agee to act as financial adviser to OBA regarding the merger. As part of its investment banking business, Sterne Agee is continually engaged in the valuation of banking businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. As specialists in the securities of banking companies, Sterne Agee has experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of banking enterprises.

Sterne Agee’s Compensation and Other Relationships with OBA. OBA and Sterne Agee have entered into an agreement relating to the services to be provided by Sterne Agee in connection with the merger. Pursuant to the agreement, OBA agreed to pay Sterne Agee (a) a non-refundable retainer of $25,000, which will be credited against the transaction fee; (b) a fee upon the delivery to the Board of Directors of OBA of the written Fairness Opinion of $100,000, which will also be credited against the transaction fee; and (c) upon closing of the merger, a transaction fee equal to 1.35% of the aggregate consideration offered in exchange for the outstanding shares of common stock of OBA in the Transaction. Based on the aggregate consideration at announcement, total fees payable to Sterne Agee at the close of the transaction total approximately $1.3 million. Pursuant to the Sterne Agee engagement agreement, OBA also agreed to reimburse Sterne Agee for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements incurred in connection with its retention and to indemnify Sterne Agee against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Sterne Agee’s Relationship with F.N.B. Sterne Agee acted as a co-managing underwriter in connection with a registered offering by F.N.B. of depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th interest in shares of F.N.B. preferred stock. The initial closing of the offering of 4,000,000 depositary shares occurred on November 1, 2013, and a subsequent closing was held on November 14, 2013 for the underwriters’ exercise of their overallotment option as to an additional 435,080 depositary shares. F.N.B. raised approximately $111 million in aggregate gross proceeds from the offering, and Sterne Agee received approximately $175 thousand in underwriting discounts and commissions.

OBA Financial Forecasts

OBA does not, as a matter of course, publicly disclose forecasts or internal projections as to its future performance, earnings or other results due to, among other things, the unpredictability of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, during the fourth quarter of 2013, OBA provided to F.N.B. a summary of certain internal financial forecasts. These internal financial forecasts were also provided to Sterne Agee. These financial forecasts were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or compliance with published guidelines of the SEC, the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for Prospective Financial Information, or U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and are included in this proxy statement/prospectus only because they were made available to F.N.B. and Sterne Agee in connection with their evaluations of the merger. OBA’s independent auditor did not examine or compile any of these estimates or express any conclusion or provide any form of assurance with respect to these estimates.

The financial forecasts described below are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such estimates and should be read with caution. Although presented with numerical specificity, these estimates are based upon a variety of assumptions made by OBA’s management with respect to, among other things, industry performance, general economic, market, interest rate, and financial conditions, operating and other revenues and expenses, effective tax rates, capital expenditures, working capital and other matters. None of the assumptions may be realized, and as historical performance suggests, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of OBA.

Accordingly, the assumptions made in preparing these estimates may prove to be inaccurate and actual results may differ materially from these estimates. In addition, the forecasts do not take into account any of the expense savings or charges expected to result from the merger or any other matters contemplated by the merger agreement.

For these reasons, the description of the financial forecasts in this proxy statement/prospectus should not be regarded as an indication that they are an accurate prediction of future events and they should not be relied on as such. No one has made, or makes, any representation regarding these estimates and, except as may be required by applicable securities laws, OBA does not intend to update or otherwise revise the projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrences of future events even if any or all of the assumptions are shown to be in error.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger that are Different from Yours

In considering the recommendation of OBA’s Board of Directors that you vote to approve the merger agreement and the merger, you should be aware that some of OBA’s executive officers and directors have financial interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, those of OBA shareholders generally. The independent members of OBA’s Board of Directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the merger agreement and the merger, and in recommending to the shareholders that the merger agreement be approved. For purposes of all of OBA’s agreements and plans described below, the completion of the merger will constitute a change of control or a term of similar meaning.

Share Ownership. On the record date for the OBA special meeting, OBA’s directors and officers beneficially owned, in the aggregate, [            ] shares of OBA’s common stock (not including shares that may be acquired upon the exercise of stock options), representing approximately [    ]% of the outstanding shares of OBA common stock.

As described below, certain of OBA’s officers and directors have interests in the merger that are in addition to, or different from, the interests of OBA’s shareholders generally. OBA’s board of directors was aware of these

Table of Contents

interests and took them into account, among other things, in evaluating and negotiating the merger agreement and in recommending to the shareholders that the merger agreement and the merger be approved. These interests include payments being made pursuant to binding contractual arrangements in existence before the date of the merger agreement and that have been described to OBA shareholders in previous proxy statements. These interests and agreements provide for cash severance payments in an aggregate amount of up to approximately $2.2 million. Interests of the officers and directors include the following:

F.N.B. Executive Compensation Proposals. F.N.B. has entered into an executive compensation proposal with each of: Charles E. Weller, President and Chief Executive Officer of OBA; Shane Hennessy, Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer of OBA; Gary L. Will, Executive Vice President—Sales of OBA; and one other officer of OBA, and F.N.B. has offered to enter into an executive compensation proposal with another officer. The executive compensation proposal for Charles E. Weller, President and Chief Executive Officer of OBA, provides that Mr. Weller will receive (i) a payment of $200,000, payable monthly over a two-year period, in exchange for Mr. Weller’s agreement to not compete with F.N.B. or solicit business or employees from F.N.B. over a two year period and compliance with its terms, and (ii) a stay bonus payable $50,000 in cash and 3,800 shares of F.N.B. stock provided that Mr. Weller remains employed through the closing of the merger. Under his executive compensation proposal, Mr. Weller also will enter into amendments to his employment agreements to limit the amount payable under those agreements so as not to permit an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. See “—Employment Agreements with OBA and OBA Bank.” The executive compensation proposals for Shane Hennessy, Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer of OBA, Gary L. Will, Executive Vice President—Sales of OBA, and two other officers of OBA, are similar and provide for a stay bonus, payable in shares of F.N.B. stock, in the amount of $10,000 for Mr. Hennessy, $25,000 for Mr. Will and total stay bonuses in the amount of $35,000 for the other two officers, provided that the individual remains employed through the closing date of the merger and executes a general release of claims, and, for Mr. Will and one other officer of OBA, the stay bonus is contingent on their agreement to not solicit business or employees from F.N.B. for a one year period following the completion of the merger and achievement of performance goals through the closing of the merger. It is anticipated that F.N.B. and each individual will enter into definitive agreements to reflect the above prior to the closing date of the merger. None of the executive officers will be offered post-merger employment with F.N.B., except for one officer, who may be offered employment for a short period of time following the closing date of the merger.

Employment Agreements with OBA and OBA Bank. OBA and OBA Bank each maintain an employment agreement with President and Chief Executive Officer Charles E. Weller. The employment agreement with OBA provides that Mr. Weller will not receive any duplicative payments or benefits under his employment agreements and, therefore, to the extent payments and benefits are paid or received under one employment agreement, such payments and benefits are subtracted from any amount due Mr. Weller under similar provisions of the other employment agreement. The employment agreements provide for a lump sum cash payment in the event of a change in control followed by a termination of employment without cause or for good reason (as defined in the agreements). The amount of the lump sum cash payment is equal to three times the sum of his annual rate of base salary and his highest bonus paid with respect to the prior three years. If the executive’s employment is terminated following a change in control, the executive would also receive continued life and non-taxable medical and dental until the earlier of (i) thirty-six (36) months, or (ii) the date Mr. Weller becomes eligible for Medicare coverage, provided that if Mr. Weller is covered by family coverage or coverage for self and spouse, then Mr. Weller’s family or spouse will receive coverage for the remainder of the three year period, or in the case of a spouse, until the spouse becomes eligible for Medicare coverage or obtains health care coverage elsewhere. As Mr. Weller is eligible for Medicare coverage, continued medical coverage will not be provided. If payable, the cash severance payment to be made to Mr. Weller is estimated to be $901,527, and such amounts will be subject to reduction so that no amount would result in an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

Change in Control Agreements with OBA Bank. OBA Bank has entered into change-in-control agreements with Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer Shane Hennessy, Executive Vice President-Sales Gary L. Will, and two other officers. The change-in-control agreements provide a benefit in the event of

involuntary termination of employment other than for “cause” or resignation for good reason (as defined in the agreements) following a change in control equal to (i) two times the executive’s base salary and (ii) the highest bonus earned during the prior three years, payable in a lump sum, and the continuation of non-taxable medical and dental coverage for a two-year period. The amount of the payment to be made in connection with a change in control will be reduced, if necessary, to an amount that is $1.00 less than the amount that would otherwise be an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. If payable, the cash severance payment to be made to Messrs. Hennessy and Will, and two other officers, respectively, is estimated to be $350,339, $343,365 and $594,189, respectively, and such amounts will be subject to reduction so that no amount would result in an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

Outstanding Stock Options and Restricted Stock. Pursuant to the merger agreement, each stock option issued under the OBA stock option plan that is outstanding and unexercised immediately before the completion of the merger will be converted into an option to purchase F.N.B. common stock, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the OBA stock option plan. The number of shares of F.N.B. common stock subject to each such converted stock option will be equal to the product obtained (i) by multiplying the number of shares of OBA common stock subject to the applicable OBA stock option by the exchange ratio of 1.781 (with the result rounded down to the nearest whole share), and (ii) by dividing (x) the exercise price per OBA stock option in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the merger by (y) the exchange ratio of 1.781 (with the result rounded up to the nearest whole cent). The number of shares of F.N.B. common stock subject to each converted restricted stock award will be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of OBA common stock subject to the applicable OBA restricted stock award by the exchange ratio.

The vesting of unvested OBA stock options will not be accelerated in connection with the merger unless provided for under the terms of the OBA 2011 Equity Incentive Plan. OBA’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan provides for accelerated vesting upon the involuntary termination of the option holder other than for “cause” (as such term is defined in the plan or, if applicable, a written employment agreement) or the voluntary termination of the option holder for good reason (as such term is defined in the plan) following a change in control. Restricted stock shares that are outstanding immediately before the completion of the merger will have accelerated vesting pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement.

Severance and Other Payments to Certain Persons

The following table sets forth the estimated potential severance benefits to OBA’s named executive officers on termination of employment in connection with a change in control. This table does not include the value of benefits that the named executive officers are vested in without regard to the occurrence of a change in control:

Charles E. Weller

     901,527         796,462         —           1,350         —           502,905         2,202,244   

Shane Hennessy

     350,339         397,865         —           60,000         —           176,199         984,403   

Gary L. Will

     343,365         397,865         —           14,400         —           189,297         944,926   

 

(1) Assumes the date of the change in control and termination of employment of Messrs. Weller, Hennessy and Will is June 6, 2014. The cash severance also will be subject to reduction so that no amount would result in an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. Further, the cash severance payable to Messrs. Weller, Hennessy and Will is considered a “double trigger” benefit, since it is triggered by a change in control of OBA followed by a termination of employment without cause or for good reason.
(2)

Consists of unvested options to acquire 29,620, 14,814 and 14,814 shares, respectively, of OBA common stock for Messrs. Weller, Hennessy and Will, respectively, and 26,676, 13,320, and 13,320 shares of restricted stock that will become vested for Messrs. Weller, Hennessy and Will, respectively. For these purposes, we assumed the value of the OBA common stock is the average closing market price of OBA common stock over the first five business days following the first public announcement of the merger,

 

56


Table of Contents
  which is $21.94. The amount shown represents the difference between $21.94 and the exercise price of the stock options. In addition, we assumed that Messrs. Weller, Hennessy and Will’s stock option awards will have accelerated vesting at closing under the terms of the OBA 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, which provide for accelerated vesting upon the involuntary termination of the executive or the voluntary termination of the executive for good reason (as such term is defined in the plan) following a change in control. The unvested options are considered a “double trigger” benefit, since their vesting is triggered by a change in control of OBA followed by a termination of employment without cause or for good reason. The accelerated vesting of restricted stock is considered a “single trigger” benefit, since under the merger agreement their vesting is triggered by a change in control of OBA.
(3) Consists of projected premium(s) of $450 (life insurance only) for thirty-six months for Mr. Weller, $2,500 for twenty-four months for Mr. Hennessy, and $600 for twenty-four months for Mr. Will of medical and dental insurance coverage continuation. These premiums for Messrs. Weller, Hennessy and Will are considered a “double trigger” benefit, since they are triggered by a change in control of OBA followed by a termination of employment without cause or for good reason.
(4) Consists of: (i) for Mr. Weller, $200,000 to which he will be entitled under a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement with F.N.B., a stay bonus of $50,000 payable in cash plus 3,800 shares of F.N.B. stock (with an estimated value of $48,602 or $12.79 per share, based on the average closing market price of F.N.B. common stock over the first five business days following the first public announcement of the merger) provided that he remains employed through the closing date of the merger and complies with the terms of the non-competition and non-solicitation agreement, and $204,303 is the estimated additional benefit attributable to the OBA Bank ESOP as a result of its termination, (ii) for Mr. Hennessy, a stay bonus of $10,000 payable in shares of F.N.B. stock provided that he remains employed through the closing date of the merger, and $166,199 is the estimated additional benefit attributable to the OBA Bank ESOP as a result of its termination, and (iii) for Mr. Will, a stay bonus of $25,000 payable in shares of F.N.B. stock provided that he remains employed through the closing date of the merger and agrees to a one-year non-solicitation agreement and achieves certain performance objectives through the closing of the merger, and $164,297 is the estimated additional benefit attributable to the OBA Bank of ESOP as a result of its termination.

Indemnification and Insurance. F.N.B. and OBA have agreed in the merger agreement that, from and after the effective time of the merger, F.N.B. will indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of OBA or any of its subsidiaries and any individual who serves or served as a director, officer, trustee, agent, employee or member of another entity at the request of OBA or its subsidiaries, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, pertaining or relating to the merger agreement or to such person’s service with OBA as a director or officer or with another entity at the request of OBA or its subsidiaries. F.N.B. has also agreed in the merger agreement that, for a period of six years after the effective time of the merger, it will cause the directors and officers of OBA to be covered by the directors’ and officers’ insurance policy maintained by OBA or by a policy of at least the same coverage and containing terms no less advantageous to its beneficiaries than OBA’s policy.

Employee Matters. Each person who is an employee of OBA as of the closing of the merger (whose employment is not specifically terminated upon the closing) will become an employee of First National Bank of Pennsylvania or one of its affiliates and, as soon as administratively practicable, will be eligible to participate in group health, medical, dental, life, disability and other welfare plans available to similarly situated employees of F.N.B. on the same basis that it provides such coverage to F.N.B. employees. With respect to any welfare plan or program of OBA that in the determination of F.N.B. provides benefits of the same type as a plan maintained by F.N.B., F.N.B. will continue the OBA plan until such employees become eligible for the F.N.B. plan so that there is no gap in coverage. F.N.B. will give credit to continuing OBA employees for purposes of F.N.B.’s vacation programs for their accrued and unpaid vacation balance with OBA.

Current employees of OBA who remain employed through the closing date and are employed by F.N.B. will be eligible to participate in the F.N.B. 401(k) plan as of the closing date.

 

57


Table of Contents

F.N.B. will pay severance to each employee of OBA who is not otherwise covered by a specific employment or change in control agreement whose employment is terminated (other than for cause) within 12 months as of the closing date. Exempt employees will receive two weeks of pay for each completed year of service with a maximum benefit of 52 weeks and non-exempt employees will receive one week of pay for each completed year of service with a maximum benefit of 52 weeks.

OBA Bank ESOP. As of to the effective time of the merger, the OBA Bank ESOP indebtedness will be repaid by the OBA Bank ESOP by selling a sufficient number of unallocated shares of OBA common stock. As of the effective time of the merger, the OBA Bank ESOP will be terminated and all shares of OBA common stock held by the ESOP will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration, and the balance of any assets remaining in the ESOP but not allocated to the account of a participant will be allocated as provided in the ESOP governing documents. The ESOP assets will be distributed to the participants as soon as practicable following the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS, except that ESOP participants whose employment is terminated by F.N.B. may elect to receive their ESOP account balance prior to the receipt of the IRS determination letter. OBA and, following the effective time, F.N.B., have agreed to adopt any amendments to the OBA ESOP necessary to effect the foregoing matters. Each of OBA’s executive officers would receive a benefit in connection with the OBA Bank ESOP’s termination to the extent that the stock price multiplied by the number of unallocated shares held by the ESOP exceeds the outstanding indebtedness. Based on account levels as of December 31, 2013, and a stock price of $21.94, the estimated value of the additional benefit that Messrs. Weller, Hennessy and Will and the two other executive officers of OBA would receive, as a group, under the ESOP upon the completion of the merger is approximately $783,000.

OBA Bank 401(k) Plan. As of the effective time of the merger, the OBA Bank 401(k) Plan will be terminated and the 401(k) Plan assets will be distributed to the participants as soon as practicable following the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS, except that 401(k) Plan participants whose employment is terminated by F.N.B. may elect to receive their 401(k) Plan account balance prior to the receipt of the IRS determination letter.

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger and the Bank Merger

Completion of the merger between F.N.B. and OBA and the merger between First National Bank of Pennsylvania and OBA Bank are each subject to several federal regulatory agency filings and approvals. The merger and the bank merger cannot be completed unless and until F.N.B. and OBA, on the one hand, and First National Bank of Pennsylvania and OBA Bank, on the other hand, have received all necessary prior approvals, waivers or exemptions from the applicable bank regulatory authorities and any applicable waiting periods have expired. We cannot predict whether or when F.N.B. and OBA and their bank subsidiaries will obtain the required regulatory approvals, waivers or exemptions necessary for the merger of OBA into F.N.B. and the merger of OBA Bank into First National Bank of Pennsylvania.

Federal Reserve Board. F.N.B. is a registered financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, and OBA is a registered savings and loan holding company under the Home Owners’ Loan Act of 1933. As a result, the merger of OBA into F.N.B. is subject to prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act, unless an exemption from the prior approval requirement is available. F.N.B. plans to submit a waiver request to the Federal Reserve Board by August 2014 to seek such an exemption. If F.N.B.’s exemption request is denied, a separate Federal Reserve Board approval will be needed. Under the applicable statutes, the Federal Reserve Board will decline to approve the merger if:

 

    it would result in a monopoly;

 

    it would be in furtherance of any combination or conspiracy to monopolize or to attempt to monopolize the business of banking in any part of the United States; or

 

   

it could have the effect in any section of the United States of substantially lessening competition, tending to create a monopoly or resulting in a restraint of trade, unless the Federal Reserve Board finds

 

58


Table of Contents
 

that the anti-competitive effects of the transactions are clearly outweighed by the public interest and the probable effect of the merger in meeting the convenience and needs of the communities to be served.

In addition, in reviewing a merger under the applicable statutes, the Federal Reserve Board will consider the financial and managerial resources of the companies and any subsidiary banks, and the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, as well as the records of the companies in combating money laundering. Among other things, the Federal Reserve Board will evaluate the capital adequacy of the combined company after completion of the merger. The Federal Reserve Board also will take into consideration the extent to which a proposed acquisition, merger or consolidation would result in greater or more concentrated risks to the stability of the United States banking or financial system. In connection with its review, the Federal Reserve Board will provide an opportunity for public comment on the application for the merger, and is authorized to hold a public meeting or other proceedings if it determines that would be appropriate.

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The merger of OBA Bank with and into First National Bank of Pennsylvania is subject to the prior approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency under the Bank Merger Act. First National Bank of Pennsylvania and OBA Bank plan to file their Bank Merger Act Application for approval of the bank merger with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency by July 2014. In reviewing applications under the Bank Merger Act, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency must consider, among other factors, the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the existing and proposed institutions, the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, safety and soundness considerations, the risk to the stability of the United States banking or financial system, the effectiveness of both institutions in combating money laundering, and the risk to the stability of the United States banking or financial system. Specifically, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency will consider whether the resulting bank and the parent holding company will continue to be well-capitalized and well-managed. In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency may not approve a merger:

 

    that will result in a monopoly or be in furtherance of any combination or conspiracy to monopolize or attempt to monopolize the business of banking in any part of the United States;

 

    if the effect of the merger in any section of the country may be substantially to lessen competition or tend to create a monopoly; or

 

    if the merger would in any other manner be a restraint of trade,

unless the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency finds that the anticompetitive effects of the merger are clearly outweighed by the public interest and the probable effect of the merger in meeting the convenience and needs of the communities to be served.

Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency must also take into account the records of performance of OBA Bank and First National Bank of Pennsylvania in meeting the credit needs of their markets, including low and moderate income neighborhoods served by each institution. As part of the merger review process, the federal supervisory agencies may receive comments and protests from community groups and others. OBA Bank and First National Bank of Pennsylvania each received a “Satisfactory” rating in their most recent CRA evaluations.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is also authorized to, but generally does not, hold a public hearing or meeting in connection with an application under the Bank Merger Act. A decision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency that such a hearing or meeting would be appropriate regarding any application could prolong the period during which the application is subject to review.

Mergers approved by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency under the Bank Merger Act, with certain exceptions, may not be consummated until 30 days after the date of approval, during which time the U.S. Department of Justice may challenge the merger on antitrust grounds and may require the divestiture of certain

 

59


Table of Contents

assets and liabilities. With approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Department of Justice, that waiting period may be, and customarily is, reduced to no less than 15 days. There can be no assurance that the Department of Justice will not challenge the merger or, if such a challenge is made, that the result of that challenge will be favorable to F.N.B. and OBA.

Other Regulatory Submissions or Approvals. Notices and/or applications requesting approval may be submitted to various other federal and state regulatory authorities and self-regulatory organizations. On June 3, 2014, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency approved an amendment to the charter of OBA Bank to remove the anti-takeover provision at Section 8.A. of the charter, which otherwise would prohibit any person or entity other than OBA from owning more than ten percent of any class of equity securities of OBA Bank until January 2015. In addition, OBA Bank plans to file a notice of intention to convert to, or combine with, a bank with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency by August 2014. Lastly, F.N.B. will submit an application to the NYSE seeking approval of the listing of the shares of F.N.B. common stock to be issued pursuant to the merger agreement.

There can be no assurance that the regulatory authorities described above will approve the merger of OBA with and into F.N.B. or the bank merger, and even if those mergers are approved, there can be no assurance as to the date on which the approvals will be received. The mergers cannot proceed unless all required regulatory approvals have been received. See “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completion of the Merger” and “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement.

The approval of a merger application by a regulatory authority only means that the regulatory criteria for approval have been satisfied. The process of obtaining regulatory approval would not include a review of the adequacy of the merger consideration. Further, regulatory approvals do not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of the merger.

Public Trading Markets

F.N.B. common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “FNB.” OBA common stock is traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol “OBAF.” Upon completion of the merger, OBA common stock will cease to be traded on the NASDAQ, and F.N.B. as the surviving company in the merger will cause our common stock to be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. F.N.B. will list the F.N.B. common stock issuable pursuant to the merger agreement on the NYSE upon receipt of NYSE approval and subject to official notice of issuance.

As reported on the NYSE, the closing price per share of F.N.B. common stock on April 7, 2014 was $13.38. As reported by NASDAQ, the closing price per share of OBA common stock on April 17, 2014 was $18.42. Based on the F.N.B. closing price per share on the NYSE and the exchange ratio, the pro forma equivalent per share value of our common stock was $23.83 as of that date. On [            ] [            ], 2014, the last practicable day before we printed and mailed this proxy statement/prospectus, the closing price per share of F.N.B. common stock on the NYSE was $[            ], resulting in a pro forma equivalent per share value of our common stock of $[            ] as of that date. On [            ], 2014, the closing price per share of OBA common stock on the NASDAQ was $[            ].

Delisting and Deregistration of OBA Common Stock Following the Merger

If the merger is completed, OBA common stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ and will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

No Dissenters’ Rights

Dissenters’ rights are statutory rights that, if available under law, enable shareholders to dissent from an fundamental corporate change, such as a merger, and to demand that the corporation pay the “fair value” for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the consideration offered to shareholders in connection with the fundamental corporate change. Dissenters’ rights are not available in all circumstances, and exceptions to these rights are provided under the Maryland General Corporation Law. As a result of one of these exceptions, holders of OBA common stock will not be entitled to dissenters’ appraisal rights in the merger. Maryland law does not make dissenters’ rights available when the only consideration to be received in a merger (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares) is shares of common stock that are listed on a national securities exchange and the common stock of the acquired company are also listed on an exchange. Both the NYSE (on which F.N.B. common stock is listed) and the NASDAQ (on which OBA common stock are listed) are national securities exchanges.

Litigation Relating to the Merger

On May 7, 2014, a purported shareholder of OBA filed a putative class action complaint in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland, captioned Parshall v. OBA Financial Services, Inc., et al., at Case No. 390369V, and naming as defendants OBA, its Board of Directors, OBA Bank, F.N.B. and First National Bank of Pennsylvania. The lawsuit makes various allegations against the defendants relating to F.N.B.’s proposed acquisition of OBA, including that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duties to OBA in approving a transaction that does not reflect OBA’s true value, and that OBA and F.N.B. aided and abetted those alleged breaches. The lawsuit generally seeks an injunction barring the defendants from consummating the merger transaction, imposition of a constructive trust upon any benefits improperly received by the defendants as a result of their wrongful conduct, and an award of the costs and disbursements associated with the lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees. OBA and F.N.B believe the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intend to defend vigorously against the allegations made.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

The following section is a summary of the material provisions of the merger agreement. The following description of the merger agreement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the merger agreement, which we include as Appendix A to this proxy statement/prospectus and incorporate by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus. This summary may not contain all of the information about the merger agreement that may be important to you. We urge you to read the merger agreement carefully and in its entirety.

The Merger

The merger agreement provides for the merger of OBA with and into F.N.B. F.N.B. will be the surviving corporation in the merger and will continue its corporate existence as a Florida corporation, and the separate corporate existence of OBA will cease.

The merger agreement provides that F.N.B. may at any time change the structure of the merger, unless the change would do any of the following:

 

    alter the amount or kind of merger consideration to be provided to the OBA common shareholders,

 

    adversely affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to OBA common shareholders or to either party in the merger, or

 

    materially impede or delay consummation of the merger.

The Bank Merger

As soon as practicable after the merger of OBA into F.N.B. is completed, OBA Bank will merge with and into First National Bank of Pennsylvania. First National Bank of Pennsylvania will be the surviving entity in the merger and continue its existence as a national bank, and OBA Bank’s separate existence will cease.

Treatment of OBA Common Stock

At the effective time of the merger, each share of OBA common stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective of the merger will automatically become the right to receive 1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock, which we refer to herein as the exchange ratio. In other words, each OBA shareholder will have the right to receive 1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock in exchange for each share of OBA common stock that he or she owns. Any shares of OBA common stock held by F.N.B., its subsidiaries or OBA’s subsidiaries, and any shares of OBA common stock that OBA holds as treasury shares, will not be converted into shares of F.N.B. common stock and will be cancelled without receipt of any consideration.

If F.N.B. makes a change in its capitalization before the merger is completed, then F.N.B. will make proportionate adjustments to the exchange ratio of 1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock for each share of common stock of OBA. Examples of changes in capitalization that would trigger an adjustment are:

 

    a stock dividend or distribution on F.N.B. common stock;

 

    stock splits and reverse stock splits involving F.N.B. common stock; and

 

    a distribution made on F.N.B. common stock in a security that is convertible into F.N.B. capital stock.

F.N.B. will not issue any fractional shares of F.N.B. common stock in the merger. For each fractional share that OBA shareholders would otherwise have the right to receive, F.N.B. will pay an amount in cash, without interest, rounded to the nearest cent, equal to the fractional share issuable to that shareholder multiplied by the average closing price of F.N.B. common stock for the 20 consecutive trading-day period ending on and including the fifth trading day prior to the effective date of the merger. OBA shareholders will not have the right to receive dividends or other rights with respect to those fractional shares.

Table of Contents

Treatment of OBA Stock Options

Upon completion of the merger, each outstanding option to purchase shares of OBA common stock pursuant to OBA’s equity-based compensation plans will be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of F.N.B. common stock equal to the number of shares OBA common stock underlying the stock option immediately prior to the merger multiplied by 1.781 (rounded down to the nearest whole share). A corresponding adjustment will be made to the exercise price of the stock option by dividing the exercise price as in effect immediately prior to the merger by 1.781 (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). The stock option will otherwise have the same terms and conditions that were in effect immediately before completion of the merger.

Treatment of OBA Restricted Stock Awards

Upon completion of the merger, each restricted stock award relating to OBA common stock, including those designated as performance share awards, will vest in full and the restrictions will lapse. Each holder of a restricted stock award will be entitled to receive a number of shares of F.N.B. common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of OBA common stock subject to the share award multiplied by 1.781. Each holder shall receive cash for any fractional share of restricted stock that is not converted into a share of F.N.B. common stock.

Effect of Merger on F.N.B. Stock

The merger will have no effect on F.N.B.’s capital stock. Each share of F.N.B. capital stock that was issued and outstanding immediately before the merger will remain issued and outstanding after the merger is completed.

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation

The F.N.B. articles of incorporation and the F.N.B. bylaws as in effect immediately prior to the completion of the merger will be the articles of incorporation and the bylaws of the surviving corporation.

Board of Directors and Executive Officers of the Surviving Corporation

Upon completion of the merger, the board of directors of F.N.B. will constitute the board of directors of the surviving corporation. The executive officers of F.N.B. will continue as the executive officers of the surviving corporation.

Closing and Effective Time of the Merger

The closing of the merger will take place at the time and on the date chosen by F.N.B. and OBA. In any case, the closing must take place within five business days after all of the closing conditions specified in the merger agreement have been satisfied or waived, other than those conditions which by their nature must be satisfied (or waived) at the closing. F.N.B. and OBA may extend the closing date by mutual agreement. The merger will become effective at the time specified in the articles of merger that F.N.B. and OBA file with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida and the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland.

Exchange and Payment Procedures

At the effective time of the merger or as promptly as practicable after the merger is completed, F.N.B. will deposit the merger consideration with its exchange agent, Registrar and Transfer Company. Specifically, the deposit will consist of:

 

    book entry shares representing the shares of F.N.B. common stock issuable in exchange for the shares of OBA common stock which will be cancelled in the merger;

 

63


Table of Contents
    cash in an amount equal to any dividends or distributions which are payable to OBA shareholders under the merger agreement; and

 

    cash to be paid to OBA shareholders in lieu of fractional shares of F.N.B. common stock.

As soon as practicable after the merger is completed, but in no event later than seven business days after the merger is completed, the exchange agent will mail each holder of record of OBA common stock a letter of transmittal which will contain instructions for surrendering their stock certificates. Each holder of an OBA stock certificate, who surrenders his or her stock certificates to the exchange agent together with properly signed transmittal materials, will be entitled to receive, for each share of OBA common stock he or she holds:

 

    1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock in book entry form;

 

    cash in lieu of any fractional shares of F.N.B. common stock to which the holder would otherwise be entitled; and

 

    any cash dividends which are payable to former OBA shareholders according to the merger agreement.

F.N.B. will have no obligation to make any payments in exchange for cancelled shares of OBA common stock until the former OBA shareholder has surrendered the stock certificates representing his or her shares of OBA common stock.

If an OBA stock certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, the exchange agent will issue the F.N.B. common stock payable under the merger agreement to the shareholder upon receipt of an affidavit by the shareholder regarding the loss of his or her stock certificate. F.N.B. or the exchange agent may require the shareholder to post a bond in a reasonable amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against F.N.B. or the exchange agent with respect to the shareholder’s lost, stolen or destroyed OBA stock certificate.

Former OBA shareholders may exchange their OBA stock certificates through the exchange agent for up to 12 months after the completion of the merger. At the end of that period, the exchange agent will return any F.N.B. shares and cash to F.N.B., and former OBA shareholders who did not previously exchange their OBA stock certificates for the merger consideration must apply to F.N.B. for payment of the merger consideration. Neither OBA nor F.N.B. will be liable to any former holder of OBA common stock for any merger consideration that is paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

The exchange agent (or, 12 months after the completion of the merger, F.N.B.) is entitled to deduct and withhold from any cash amounts payable to any OBA common shareholder any amounts that the exchange agent or F.N.B. is required to deduct and withhold under the Internal Revenue Code, or any state, local or foreign tax law or regulation. Any amounts that F.N.B. or the exchange agent withholds will be treated as having been paid to the OBA shareholder.

Once the merger is completed, no transfers on the stock transfer books of OBA will be permitted other than to settle transfers of shares of OBA common stock that occurred prior to the effective time of the merger.

Dividends and Distributions

Upon surrender of their OBA stock certificates to the exchange agent, former OBA shareholders will be paid, without interest:

 

    any dividends or distributions that were declared by OBA on its common stock after April 7, 2014 with a record date prior to the date on which the merger was completed, and that remained unpaid at the time the merger was completed; and

 

    any dividends or distributions that were declared on the F.N.B. common stock with a record date after the date on which the merger was completed, and that became payable before the date of surrender.

 

64


Table of Contents

OBA has agreed that while the merger is pending, it will not declare or pay any dividend or distribution on its capital stock, other than dividends and distributions from a subsidiary of OBA to OBA or a wholly-owned subsidiary of OBA. However, OBA has not paid or declared a dividend in the last three years and no dividends are expected to be declared or paid by OBA prior to the time the merger is completed.

Representations and Warranties

The merger agreement contains generally reciprocal and customary representations and warranties of F.N.B. and OBA relating to F.N.B.’s and OBA’s businesses. The representations and warranties of OBA and F.N.B. are subject, in some cases, to exceptions and qualifications contained in the merger agreement and the matters contained in the disclosure schedules that OBA and F.N.B. delivered to each other at the time they entered into the merger agreement. The representations and warranties in the merger agreement only remain in effect until the merger is completed.

The representations and warranties that each of OBA and F.N.B. made relate to, among other things, the following:

 

    corporate matters, such as its organization, corporate power and authority, and subsidiaries;

 

    its capital stock;

 

    it has the corporate power and authority to enter into the merger agreement, and

 

    entering into the merger agreement and completing the merger will not cause a violation of its organizational documents or applicable laws, a breach of contract or acceleration of indebtedness;

 

    the governmental filings and consents, authorizations, approvals and exemptions that are required to be completed or obtained in order to enter into the merger agreement and complete the merger;

 

    reports it has filed with bank regulatory authorities and other regulatory entities, and the absence of regulatory proceedings or investigations;

 

    its filings with the SEC, the conformity of its financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and the maintenance of its and its subsidiaries’ books and records in accordance with applicable legal and accounting requirements;

 

    any investment bankers’ fees which it is required to pay in connection with the merger;

 

    the general manner in which its businesses are conducted, and the absence of any material adverse effect (as defined below) affecting it and its subsidiaries;

 

    legal proceedings;

 

    tax matters;

 

    employee benefit plans;

 

    compliance with applicable laws;

 

    material contracts;

 

    agreements with regulatory agencies;

 

    undisclosed liabilities;

 

    environmental liabilities;

 

    the treatment of the merger as a reorganization for tax purposes;

 

    the loans, delinquent loans and nonperforming and classified loans and investments and other assets which are reflected on its books and records;

 

    allowances for loan losses; and

 

65


Table of Contents
    fiduciary accounts.

OBA made additional representations and warranties regarding:

 

    its employees;

 

    its employee stock ownership plan;

 

    real property it owns or leases;

 

    the receipt of an opinion from its financial advisor;

 

    the non-applicability of state anti-takeover laws;

 

    its insurance coverages;

 

    investment securities;

 

    intellectual property; and

 

    its mortgage loan business.

Certain representations and warranties of F.N.B. and OBA are qualified as to “materiality” or “material adverse effect.” A “material adverse effect,” when used in reference to F.N.B. or OBA, means any event, circumstance, development, change or effect that alone or in the aggregate with other events, circumstances, developments, changes or effects (1) is materially adverse to the business, results of operations or financial condition of that party and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (2) materially delays or impairs the ability of that party to complete the merger on a timely basis.

In determining whether a material adverse effect has occurred with respect to the business, results of operations or financial condition of a party and its subsidiaries, we will disregard any effects resulting from:

 

    changes in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or regulatory accounting requirements applicable to banks or savings associations and their holding companies generally;

 

    changes in laws, rules or regulations of general applicability, or their interpretation by courts or any governmental entity;

 

    actions or omissions of taken by either party at the request of, or with the prior written consent of, the other party or as required under the merger agreement;

 

    changes, events or developments in the national or world economy or financial or securities markets generally, or general economic conditions, or other changes, events or developments that affect banks or savings associations or their holding companies generally, unless the change has a materially disproportionate adverse effect on that party relative to other similarly situated participants in the same markets or industries;

 

    the completion or public disclosure of the merger, including the resignation of employees, or any impact on the business (including expenses), customer relations, condition or results of operations of that party;

 

    any outbreak or escalation of war or hostilities, any occurrence or threats of terrorist acts or any associated armed hostilities, and any national or international calamity, disaster or emergency;

 

    any changes in interest rates or foreign currency rates;

 

    any claim, suit, action, audit, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding or order which challenges, seeks to prevent, enjoins, alters or delays, or seeks damages as a result of, or in relation with, the merger;

 

    any failure by that party to meet any published (whether by that party or a third party research analyst) or internally prepared estimates of revenues or earnings;

 

66


Table of Contents
    a decline in the price, or a change in the trading volume of, that party’s common stock on the NASDAQ or the NYSE, as applicable; and

 

    any matter which the party already disclosed in reasonable detail in the disclosure schedules it delivered to the other party at the time they entered into the merger agreement or in its SEC filings, as long as the disclosed matter has not worsened in a materially adverse manner.

This summary and the copy of the merger agreement attached to this document as Appendix A are included solely to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the merger agreement. They are not intended to provide factual information about the parties or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The merger agreement contains representations and warranties by F.N.B. and OBA, which were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates. The representations, warranties and covenants in the merger agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the merger agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the merger agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those generally applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the merger agreement, and in reviewing the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the merger agreement or any descriptions thereof in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that those representations, warranties and covenants, and any descriptions of those provisions, were not intended by the parties to the merger agreement to be characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of F.N.B., OBA or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the merger agreement, and those subsequent developments may or may not be fully reflected in F.N.B.’s and OBA’s public disclosures. For the foregoing reasons, the representations, warranties and covenants, and any descriptions of those provisions, should not be read alone. They should be read in conjunction with the other information contained in the reports, statements and filings that F.N.B. and OBA publicly file with the SEC. For more information regarding these documents, see the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” on page [    ].

Covenants and Agreements

F.N.B. and OBA agreed to generally customary covenants that place restrictions on them and their respective subsidiaries until the merger is completed. For example, F.N.B. and OBA agreed to:

 

    continue to conduct their businesses and that of their subsidiaries in the same manner in which it has ordinarily been conducted in the past;

 

    use their reasonable best efforts to maintain and preserve intact their business organizations, employees and advantageous business relationships and retain the services of their key officers and other key employees; and

 

    refrain from taking any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impede or delay either party’s ability to obtain the regulatory and other approvals needed to complete the merger, perform its covenants and agreements under the merger agreement, or complete the merger.

OBA also agreed to provide F.N.B. with regular updates and other information about its lending operations.

OBA further agreed that it would not take, or allow its subsidiaries to take certain actions, unless permitted by the merger agreement or by F.N.B.’s prior written or electronic consent. For example, OBA agreed that it and its subsidiaries will not:

 

    declare, set aside or pay any dividends or make any other distributions on any shares of the capital stock of OBA, except for dividends and distributions from a subsidiary of OBA to either OBA or a wholly-owned subsidiary of OBA;

 

67

    acquire, or agree to acquire any business or entity, except that OBA may continue to acquire assets in the ordinary course of its business if the acquisitions do not exceed $100,000 in the aggregate;

 

    open, acquire, close or sell any bank branches;

 

    sell, lease, license, mortgage, or otherwise encumber or dispose of or allow a lien to be placed on any of OBA’s properties or assets, unless the transactions occur in the ordinary course of OBA’s business and do not exceed $100,000 in the aggregate;

 

    borrow money, issue debt securities or assume or guarantee the obligations of any person or entity (other than OBA’s or its subsidiaries’ obligations), except for certain types of transactions which are made in the ordinary course of business;

 

    make any capital contributions to, or investments in entities other than OBA’s own wholly-owned subsidiaries;

 

    change in any material respect OBA’s accounting methods, except to conform to changes in tax law, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or regulatory accounting principles or as required by its independent auditors or regulatory agencies;

    make, change or revoke any material tax election, file any material amended tax return, enter into any closing agreement with respect to a material amount of taxes, settle any material tax claim or surrender any right to a refund of a material amount of taxes;

 

    terminate or waive any material provision of any material contract or obligation;

 

    incur any capital expenditure in excess of $50,000 individually or $100,000 in the aggregate;

 

    pay, discharge or settle any claim, action, litigation, arbitration, proceeding or investigation, unless it is a customary transaction in the ordinary course of its business, and involves only money damages not in excess of $50,000 individually or $100,000 in the aggregate;

 

    take any action or knowingly fail to take any action that could be reasonably expected to prevent the merger from qualifying as a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

 

    make certain loans which exceed specified dollar thresholds and have the characteristics described in the merger agreement, or which do not conform with OBA Bank’s written lending policies, if OBA Bank received an objection from F.N.B. within three business days after the bank notified F.N.B. of the proposed loan;

 

    originate, participate or purchase any new loan that is serviced by a third party or is outside of particular counties in Maryland and Washington, D.C.;

 

68


Table of Contents
    enter into, amend or renew any employment, consulting, severance or similar agreements or arrangements with any directors, officers or employees of OBA or its subsidiaries, or grant any wage or salary increase or increase any employee benefits or contributions to any OBA benefit plan, make any grants of awards to newly-hired employees or accelerate the vesting of any unvested stock options or stock awards, except in a limited number of circumstances, including the following:

 

    OBA may give merit increases to employees who would normally be eligible for a merit increase during the period from April 7, 2014, through the closing date of the merger, as long as the total amount of all merit increases does not exceed, in the aggregate, 3% of their total base salary compensation;

 

    OBA may pay bonuses in accordance with its short-term incentive plan for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, as long as the bonuses have been accrued according to OBA’s customary and normal practices, and the total amount of all bonuses paid does not exceed $215,000;

 

    OBA may pay retention bonuses to persons and in amounts that are approved by F.N.B. in consultation with OBA;

 

    OBA and OBA Bank may renew their employment agreements with Charles Weller, and OBA may renew its change-in-control agreements with Shane Hennessy, Robin McConaughey, David Miller and Gary Will;

    purchase any equity securities other than stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta or any debt securities, except that OBA may purchase debt securities with a quality rating of “AAA” by either Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or Moody’s Investors Services and a modified duration not exceeding 2 years in the Bloomberg base case, or as required to maintain compliance with the Qualified Thrift Lender test;

 

    convert the data processing and related information and/or accounting systems of OBA and its subsidiaries; or

 

    agree to take, make any commitment to take or adopt any board of directors’ resolutions in support of any of the prohibited actions listed in the merger agreement.

F.N.B. agreed that until completion of the merger, F.N.B. would not take or permit its subsidiaries to take certain actions, unless permitted by the merger agreement or by OBA’s prior written consent. For example, F.N.B. agreed that it and its subsidiaries will not:

 

    amend or repeal its articles of incorporation or its bylaws, other than amendments that would not be adverse to OBA or its shareholders or impede F.N.B.’s ability to complete the merger;

 

    take any action, or knowingly fail to take any action, that would be reasonably expected to prevent the merger from qualifying as a reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

 

    make any material investment in another entity that would be reasonably expected to prevent or materially impede or delay the completion of the merger; or

 

    agree to take, or make any commitment to take, or adopt any board of directors’ resolutions in support of any of the prohibited actions listed in the merger agreement.

Regulatory Matters

F.N.B. agreed to prepare and file with the SEC, as soon as practicable, a registration statement on Form S-4, of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part. OBA is responsible for preparing and furnishing information about itself and its directors, officers and shareholders to F.N.B. to include in the registration statement, and for obtaining any needed opinions and consents from its financial advisor and independent auditor. F.N.B. and OBA

 

69


Table of Contents

will use their commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933. OBA agreed that it will promptly mail the proxy statement/prospectus to its shareholders once the registration statement is declared effective.

F.N.B. and OBA agreed to cooperate with each other and use their reasonable best efforts to prepare and file all documentation, applications, notices, petitions and filings and to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties, regulatory agencies and governmental entities as may be necessary or advisable to complete the merger. F.N.B. and OBA will consult with each other to obtain all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations from third parties, regulatory agencies and governmental entities and will keep each other apprised as to the status of matters relating to the completion of the merger. However, F.N.B. is not obligated to take any action or accept any restriction as a condition to issuance of regulatory approval if the restriction would be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on F.N.B. (after giving effect to the merger). We refer to that type of action or restriction as a “materially burdensome regulatory condition.”

Access to Information

F.N.B. and OBA each agreed that upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, they will provide the other party (and its officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives) reasonable access during normal business hours to all properties, books, contracts, records and personnel as may be reasonably requested. All information so provided will be kept confidential pursuant to pre-existing confidentiality agreements between F.N.B. and OBA.

Shareholder Approval

OBA agreed to hold a meeting of its shareholders for the purpose of obtaining the necessary shareholder vote to adopt the merger agreement and approve the merger as soon as it is reasonably practicable. In addition, OBA’s Board of Directors agreed (subject to exercise of its fiduciary duties if OBA receives a superior proposal, as discussed later in this summary) to recommend to the shareholders of OBA that they vote in favor of the merger and the merger agreement.

NYSE Approval

F.N.B. is required to cause the shares of F.N.B. common stock that will be issued in the merger to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the completion of the merger.

Employee Benefit Plans

F.N.B. agreed it will take all reasonable action, as soon as administratively practicable after the merger is completed, to allow employees of OBA and its subsidiaries to participate in each F.N.B. employee benefit plan of general applicability to the same extent as similarly situated F.N.B. employees.

To determine the eligibility of the employees of OBA and its subsidiaries to participate in F.N.B. benefit plans, and the vesting of their benefits under F.N.B.’s plans, F.N.B. will credit OBA employees for their length of service with OBA and its subsidiaries, unless recognition of the service credit would result in duplication of benefits.

F.N.B. will cause its medical, dental and health plans, to the extent reasonably practicable and available from its insurers, to:

 

    waive any pre-existing condition limitation if those conditions otherwise would be covered under the applicable medical, health and dental plans of F.N.B.;

 

    waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement if the employee already satisfied a similar limitation or requirement under the corresponding OBA plan that he or she participated in prior to the merger; and

 

70


Table of Contents
    honor any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the employees of OBA and their covered dependents prior to entering into the applicable F.N.B. insurance plan.

F.N.B. also will recognize years of service with OBA and its subsidiaries for purposes of any generally applicable severance policy of F.N.B. or its subsidiaries.

Termination of OBA 401(k) Plan and ESOP

OBA agreed to terminate the OBA Bank 401(k) Plan immediately before the merger is completed and, together with OBA Bank, to terminate the OBA Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan and cause the accounts of all persons who are participants and beneficiaries in the ESOP at the time of the completion of the merger to be fully vested upon the completion of the merger. OBA also agreed to freeze or terminate any of its other benefit plans as requested by F.N.B. in a timely manner.

Executive Compensation Programs

F.N.B. agreed to honor and assume the employment agreements of Charles Weller with OBA and OBA Bank and the change-in-control agreements of Shane Hennessy, Robin McConaughey, David Miller and Gary Will, subject to any revisions agreed to by F.N.B. and the OBA executive officers. F.N.B. agreed it will make the payments required under the employment and change-in-control agreements as so revised. See “Proposal No. 1 Approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger—Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger that are Different From Yours” beginning on page [    ] for a description of the payments that F.N.B. agreed to make.

Indemnification and Insurance

F.N.B. agreed it will provide indemnity to current and former directors and officers of OBA and its subsidiaries, and to persons who served in any capacity (e.g., director, officer, employee, trustee, agent) at another entity at the request of OBA or its subsidiaries after the merger is completed and OBA no longer exists. Specifically, if any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation is initiated or threatened against any of those persons because of his or her service to OBA, its subsidiaries or another entity at the request of OBA or its subsidiaries, or relates to the merger agreement, F.N.B. will indemnify those persons to the fullest extent currently provided under applicable law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of OBA. F.N.B. agreed it will honor this obligation, regardless of whether the claim, suit, proceeding or investigation arises before or after the completion of the merger.

F.N.B. also agreed to purchase and maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance that covers the persons who are currently covered by OBA’s directors’ and officer’s liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policies. The insurance coverage to be purchased by F.N.B. shall cover acts or omissions that may occur at or before the completion of the merger. F.N.B. is required to maintain this insurance coverage for six years following the completion of the merger. OBA is responsible for the initial cost of purchasing the insurance and F.N.B. is responsible for the cost of maintaining it. However, F.N.B. is not required to pay annual premiums in excess of 150% of the annual premium currently paid by OBA for that insurance. If F.N.B. is unable to maintain OBA’s existing policies or obtain a substitute policy for that amount, F.N.B. will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the most advantageous coverage available for such amount.

Agreement Not to Solicit Other Offers

As an incentive for F.N.B. to enter into the merger agreement, OBA agreed not to solicit competing offers. Specifically, OBA agreed:

 

    that it will cease any discussions or negotiations regarding other acquisition proposals (as defined below);

 

71


Table of Contents
    that it will notify F.N.B. within 24 hours if it receives another acquisition proposal, and that it will provide F.N.B. with a description of the acquisition proposal and identify the third party who is making the proposal; and

 

    that it and its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives will not, directly or indirectly:

 

    initiate, solicit, encourage or facilitate another party to make an acquisition proposal;

 

    enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, or furnish any information to another party regarding an acquisition proposal; or

 

    approve, recommend or enter into a letter of intent, agreement or other commitment regarding an acquisition proposal from another party.

As used in the merger agreement, an “acquisition proposal” means any inquiry, proposal, offer, regulatory filing or other disclosure of an intention to:

 

    directly or indirectly acquire a substantial (i.e., 20% or more) portion of OBA’s and its subsidiaries’ net revenues, net income or net assets, taken as a whole;

 

    directly or indirectly acquire OBA common stock as a result of which an acquirer who owned less than 10% of OBA’s common stock increases its holdings to 10% or more of OBA’s common stock;

 

    directly or indirectly acquire OBA common stock as a result of which an acquirer who owned 10% or more of OBA’s common stock increases its holdings by 5% or more;

 

    conduct a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in any person beneficially owning 10% or more of any class of capital stock of OBA; or

 

    conduct a merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation or dissolution involving OBA, other than the proposed merger with F.N.B.

However, the merger agreement allows OBA to consider and participate in discussions and negotiations with respect to an acquisition proposal from another party if:

 

    the acquisition proposal is a superior proposal (as defined below);

 

    the OBA Board of Directors concluded in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be reasonably expected to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties;

 

    at least 48 hours before providing any information to or entering into any discussions or negotiations with the party that made the superior proposal, OBA notified F.N.B. in writing of the party’s name and the material terms and conditions of the superior proposal; and

 

    OBA entered into a confidentiality agreement with the party that made the superior proposal before providing it with any information or data about OBA, and the confidentiality agreement contains confidentiality terms that are no less favorable to OBA than those contained in its confidentiality agreement with F.N.B.

Definition of “Superior Proposal”

“Superior proposal” means any bona fide, unsolicited written acquisition proposal made by a third party to acquire more than 50% of the outstanding OBA common stock or all or substantially all of OBA’s consolidated assets. In addition, to qualify as a superior proposal, the OBA Board of Directors must determine in good faith that:

 

    the proposal contains terms that are more favorable to OBA than the terms of the proposed merger with F.N.B.;

 

    the party making the proposal has financing that is fully committed or available to it, if financing is needed to complete the transaction; and

 

    the transaction described by the proposal is reasonably capable of being completed.

 

72


Table of Contents

The Board of Directors’ determination that an acquisition proposal qualifies as a superior proposal must be based on its consultations with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel and must take into account a number of factors, including all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal and the party offering the proposal, any termination fees, expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to consummation.

Changes to the Board of Directors’ Recommendation

In any case, the merger agreement allows the OBA Board of Directors to withdraw or qualify its recommendation of the merger in a manner adverse to F.N.B., or condition or refuse to recommend the merger with F.N.B. if it concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that failure to do so would reasonably be expected to breach the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law.

Even if the OBA Board of Directors withdraw or qualify their recommendation of the merger with F.N.B., OBA will be required to submit the merger agreement to a vote of its shareholders at a meeting called for that purpose. If this happens, the Board of Directors may submit the merger agreement to the shareholders without recommendation and communicate the reason(s) for its lack of recommendation. Until the merger agreement is terminated, the only acquisition proposal OBA may submit to its shareholders is the merger with F.N.B.

Conditions to Completion of the Merger

The merger agreement contains a number of closing conditions. OBA and F.N.B. are required to complete the merger only if those conditions are satisfied or, in the alternative (and if legally permissible), the requirement to satisfy the condition is waived by the other party.

The following closing conditions apply to both OBA and F.N.B. In other words, neither party will be required to complete the merger unless the conditions listed below are satisfied (or waived):

 

    the OBA common shareholders have adopted the merger agreement and approved the merger by the requisite vote;

 

    the shares of F.N.B. common stock to be issued in the merger have been approved for listing on the NYSE;

 

    all governmental approvals that the parties are required to obtain to complete the merger have been received (and, in addition, for F.N.B. to be required to completed the merger, none of the regulatory approvals will have resulted in a materially burdensome regulatory condition);

 

    the registration statement for the F.N.B. common stock to be issued in the merger has been declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933 and no stop order or proceedings for issuance of a stop order have been initiated or threatened by the SEC; and

 

    no law, statute or regulation, or judgment, decree, injunction or order from a court or other governmental entity is in effect that prevents, prohibits or makes illegal the completion of the merger.

In addition, OBA and F.N.B. each have their own separate closing conditions. Certain of these closing conditions, as listed below, will not be satisfied unless the other party to the merger is in compliance with the merger agreement. Individually, OBA or F.N.B. will not be obligated to close the merger unless:

 

    The representations and warranties in the merger agreement from the other party are true and correct both as of the date of the merger agreement and as of the closing date (or, if another date is specified in the representation and warranty, as of that other date); however, in the case of most of the representations and warranties, one or more inaccuracies will not cause a failure of the closing condition if the inaccuracies would not be reasonably likely to result in a material adverse effect on the party who made the representation and warranty; and

 

73


Table of Contents
    The other party has performed all of its obligations under the merger agreement in all material respects; and

 

    The party has received a legal opinion from its outside counsel that the merger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

F.N.B.’s obligation to complete the merger is subject to two additional closing conditions, as follows:

 

    The charter of OBA Bank must be amended to remove a provision which states that for a period of five years from the closing of OBA’s initial public stock offering (which occurred in January 2010), no person other than OBA may directly or indirectly acquire or offer to acquire the beneficial ownership of more than 10% of any class of equity securities of OBA Bank; and

 

    None of the regulatory approvals of the merger imposes a materially burdensome regulatory condition.

Neither party can provide assurance as to when, or if, all of the conditions to the merger can or will be satisfied or waived by the appropriate party. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, neither party has any reason to believe that those conditions will not be satisfied.

Termination of the Merger Agreement

The merger agreement may be terminated at any time before the merger is completed by mutual consent of F.N.B. and OBA. Also, either party, acting alone, has the right to terminate the merger agreement in any of the following circumstances:

 

    the approval of a governmental entity, which is required for completion of the merger, was denied by final and non-appealable action, unless the denial was due to the failure of the terminating party to perform its obligations under the merger agreement;

 

    the merger was not completed by February 28, 2015, unless the failure to complete the merger by that date was due to the failure of the terminating party to perform its obligations under the merger agreement;

 

    the other party breached the merger agreement to a degree such that the closing conditions would not be satisfied, and the breach cannot or has not been cured by the earlier of February 28, 2015, or the 30th day after written notice of the breach was given; or

 

    OBA held a shareholder’s meeting but failed to obtain the requisite shareholder vote to adopt the merger agreement and approve the merger, except that OBA is not allowed to exercise this termination right if it materially breached its obligation to call a shareholders’ meeting for that purpose as soon as reasonably practicable after the registration statement on Form S-4 containing this proxy statement/prospectus was declared effective by the SEC, or if the OBA Board of Directors failed to make the recommendation that the shareholders adopt the merger agreement and approve the merger.

In addition to the termination rights above, F.N.B. may terminate the merger agreement at any time before the special meeting of OBA shareholders if:

 

    OBA breached its agreement not to solicit other acquisition proposals in a manner materially adverse to F.N.B.;

 

    the OBA Board of Directors failed to recommend the merger agreement and the merger to the shareholders, or changed, withdrew, modified, qualified or conditioned its recommendation of the merger in a manner adverse to F.N.B.;

 

    the OBA Board of Directors recommended approval of another acquisition proposal; or

 

    OBA failed to convene and hold the special meeting of shareholders to vote on the proposal to adopt the merger agreement and approve the merger.

Table of Contents

In addition to the termination rights above, OBA may terminate the merger agreement at any time before the special meeting in order to enter into an unsolicited acquisition proposal that its Board of Directors has concluded in good faith, after consultation with its legal and financial advisors, is a superior proposal. OBA may exercise this right as long as it has given F.N.B. five business days’ prior notice, during which time F.N.B. may propose adjustments to the terms and conditions of the merger so that the other offer is no longer considered a superior proposal, and has paid F.N.B. the termination fee described below.

Amendment of the Merger Agreement; Waiver

The parties may amend the merger agreement and either party may waive a requirement for the other party to comply with any provision in the merger agreement. However, once OBA’s shareholders have approved the merger, the merger agreement may not be amended except as permitted under applicable law, and any waiver that changes the form or amount of the merger consideration will require the approval of OBA’s shareholders.

Termination Fee

If the merger agreement is terminated under any of the circumstances described below, OBA must pay F.N.B. a termination fee of $3.75 million.

 

    F.N.B. terminates the merger agreement before the special meeting of OBA shareholders for any of the following reasons: (A) the OBA Board of Directors failed to recommend the merger agreement and the merger to the shareholders, or the board changed, withdrew, modified, qualified or conditioned its recommendation of the merger agreement and the merger in a manner adverse to F.N.B.; (B) OBA solicited another acquisition proposal in a manner materially adverse to F.N.B.; (C) the OBA Board of Directors recommended approval of another acquisition proposal; or (D) OBA materially breached its obligation to convene and hold the special meeting of its shareholders to adopt the merger agreement and approve the merger;

 

    OBA terminated the merger agreement in order to enter into an unsolicited acquisition proposal that the OBA Board of Directors concluded was a superior proposal;

 

    the merger agreement was terminated by either party for any reason permitted under the merger agreement after a tender offer or exchange offer for 25% or more of OBA’s common stock was initiated, and OBA failed to recommend rejection of the offer; or

 

    at a time when another acquisition proposal was being offered to or pending with OBA, the merger agreement is terminated for any of the reasons given below, and within 12 months after that termination, OBA enters into an agreement to be acquired or is acquired by another party (whether by merger, an acquisition of substantially all of OBA’s assets, or an acquisition of more than 50% of the outstanding OBA common stock).

 

    F.N.B. has terminated the merger agreement because the closing conditions which depend on the accuracy of OBA’s representations and warranties or OBA’s performance of its obligations under the merger agreement could not be satisfied due to a breach by OBA;

 

    F.N.B. has terminated the merger agreement because the merger did not occur before February 28, 2015; or

 

    Either F.N.B. or OBA has terminated the merger agreement because the requisite shareholder vote to approve the merger was not obtained at the special meeting called for that purpose, or any adjournment or postponement of that meeting.

In addition, if a party breaches any of its representations and warranties or performance obligations to a degree that would prevent a closing condition from being satisfied, and the other party terminates the merger agreement as a result, the breaching party must pay the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the terminating party

 

75


Table of Contents

in connection with the merger (including fees of legal counsel, financial advisors and accountants), up to a maximum amount of $500,000. However, if OBA becomes liable for payment of the termination fee, it will not also be liable for the payment of F.N.B.’s out-of-pocket expenses.

Expenses

In general, F.N.B. and OBA each are responsible for the expenses which it incurs in connection with the negotiation and completion of the merger. However, the SEC registration fee associated with filing the Form S-4 registration statement and the costs and expenses of printing this proxy statement/prospectus will be shared equally by the parties.

OTHER MATERIAL AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE MERGER

Voting Agreements

The following description of the voting agreements is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the form of voting agreement, which we include as Appendix B to this proxy statement/prospectus and incorporate by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus. We urge you to read the form of voting agreement carefully and in its entirety.

In connection with the merger agreement, F.N.B. entered into voting agreements with OBA’s directors, namely: James C. Beadles, Charles E. Weller, William R. Belew, Jr., Katherine A. Grice, Dr. Paul J. Hanges, Evelyn Jackson, M.D., Donald L. Mallorey, Michael L. Reed and Stacie W. Rogers. In the voting agreements, each of these shareholders has agreed to vote all of his or her shares of OBA common stock in favor of approval of the merger agreement and the merger.

In addition, except under limited circumstances, these shareholders also agreed not to sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of or encumber their shares of OBA common stock prior to the record date for the special meeting of the OBA shareholders called for the purpose of voting on the approval of the merger agreement and the merger. The voting agreements terminate immediately upon the earlier of the completion of the merger, the termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms, or the mutual written agreement of F.N.B. and the shareholder.

As of [                    ], 2014, there were [                ] shares of OBA common stock subject to the voting agreements (excluding options), which represented approximately [    ] % of the outstanding shares of OBA common stock as of that date.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

F.N.B. will account for the merger as an “acquisition,” as that term is used under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Under acquisition accounting, our assets, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities, including executory contracts and other commitments, as of the effective time of the merger will be recorded at their respective fair values and added to the balance sheet of F.N.B. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair values will be recorded as goodwill. Financial statements of F.N.B. issued after the merger will include these fair values and our results of operations from the effective time of the merger.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER

The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger that apply generally to “U.S. holders” (as defined below) of OBA common stock and, subject to the limitations and qualifications described herein, represents the opinion of Reed Smith LLP, counsel to F.N.B., and Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C., counsel to OBA. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code, judicial decisions and administrative regulations and interpretations in effect as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Accordingly, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to the holders of OBA common stock could differ from those described below.

For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of OBA common stock who for United States federal income tax purposes is:

 

    a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

    a corporation, or an entity treated as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof;

 

    a trust that (1) is subject to (A) the primary supervision of a court within the United States and (B) the authority of one or more United States persons to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Department of Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person; or

 

    an estate that is subject to United States federal income tax on its income regardless of its source.

If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of OBA common stock, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding shares of OBA common stock, you should consult your tax advisor.

This discussion assumes that you hold your shares of OBA common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code. This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to holders of OBA common stock in light of their particular circumstances, nor does it address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders of OBA common stock that are subject to special rules, including:

 

    dealers in securities or foreign currencies;

 

    tax-exempt organizations;

 

    persons who are not U.S. holders;

 

    financial institutions;

 

    retirement plans;

 

    insurance companies;

 

    expatriates or holders who have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar;

 

    pass-through entities and investors in those entities;

 

    holders who acquired their shares in connection with the exercise of stock options or other compensatory transactions or through exercise of warrants;

 

    holders who hold their shares as a hedge or as part of a straddle, constructive sale, conversion transaction or other risk management transaction; and

 

    traders in securities that elect to use the mark-to-market method of accounting.

 

77


Table of Contents

In addition, this discussion does not address any alternative minimum tax, U.S. federal estate or gift tax, or foreign, state or local tax consequences. Neither F.N.B. nor we have obtained or sought to obtain a ruling from the IRS regarding any matter relating to the merger and no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court will not sustain, a position contrary to any aspect of this discussion. We urge holders to consult their own tax advisors as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger, as well as the effects of state, local and foreign tax laws in light of their own situations.

The closing of the merger is conditioned upon the delivery of opinions of Reed Smith LLP and Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C., dated the closing date of the merger, to the effect that, based on U.S. federal income tax law in effect as of the date of such opinions, the merger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, in connection with the filing of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, each of Reed Smith LLP and Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C. has delivered an opinion to F.N.B. and us, respectively, to the same effect as the opinions described above. An opinion of counsel is not binding on the IRS or any court. In rendering their respective opinions, Reed Smith LLP and Luse Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, P.C. will rely on certain assumptions, including assumptions regarding the absence of changes in existing facts and the completion of the merger strictly in accordance with the merger agreement and this proxy statement/prospectus. The opinions will also rely upon certain representations and covenants made by the management of F.N.B. and us and will assume that these representations are true, correct and complete, and that F.N.B. and OBA, as the case may be, will comply with these covenants. If any of these assumptions or representations is inaccurate in any way, or any of the covenants are not satisfied, it could adversely affect the opinions.

Assuming that the merger qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to holders of OBA common stock are as follows.

Exchange of OBA common stock for F.N.B. common stock. Each holder of OBA common stock who receives F.N.B. common stock in the merger generally will not recognize gain or loss (except to the extent of cash received in lieu of fractional shares, as discussed below).

In general, the aggregate tax basis in the shares of F.N.B. common stock that OBA shareholders will receive upon the merger will equal such holders’ aggregate tax basis in the shares of OBA common stock surrendered, decreased by the amount of basis allocated to any fractional share such holder was deemed to receive and subsequently sell. An OBA shareholder’s holding period for the shares of F.N.B. common stock that are received in the merger, including any fractional share deemed received and sold as described below, generally will include such holder’s holding period for the shares of OBA common stock surrendered in the merger. The amount of F.N.B. common stock received in the merger includes any fractional share of F.N.B. common stock deemed to be received prior to the exchange of such fractional share for cash. See “—Cash Received in Lieu of a Fractional Share” below.

If U.S. holders of OBA common stock acquired different blocks of shares of OBA common stock at different times or at different prices, such holders’ basis and holding period in their shares of F.N.B. common stock may be determined with reference to each block of shares of OBA common stock. Any such holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the manner in which shares of F.N.B. common stock received in the exchange should be allocated among different blocks of shares of OBA common stock and with respect to identifying the bases or holding periods of the particular shares of F.N.B. common stock received in the merger. Because these rules are complex, we recommend that each OBA shareholder who may be subject to these rules consult his, her, or its own tax advisor.

Cash Received in Lieu of a Fractional Share. OBA shareholders who receive cash instead of fractional shares of F.N.B. common stock will be treated as having received the fractional shares in the merger and then as having exchanged the fractional shares for cash. These holders will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the

 

78


Table of Contents

difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis allocable to the fractional shares. The gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and long-term capital gain or loss if the holder has held the shares of OBA common stock exchanged for more than one year at the effective time of the merger. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. In addition to the regular income tax, U.S. holders that are individuals, trusts or estates and whose income exceeds certain thresholds generally will be subject to a 3.8% Medicare tax on their “net investment income.” For this purpose, net investment income generally would include net gain recognized with respect to a disposition of shares of OBA common stock pursuant to the merger (including cash received instead of fractional shares) or F.N.B. common stock received in the merger, unless such net gain is derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consist of certain passive or trading activities). If you are a U.S. holder that is an individual, estate or trust, please consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax with respect to your disposition of shares of OBA common stock pursuant to the merger.

Backup Withholding. Non-corporate holders of our shares may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding at a rate of 28% on any cash payments in lieu of fractional shares received in 2014. Generally, backup withholding will not apply, however, if a holder of OBA common stock:

 

    furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number to the exchange agent and certifies that such holder is not subject to backup withholding on the substitute Form W-9 or successor form included in the letter of transmittal received; or

 

    is otherwise exempt from backup withholding.

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not an additional tax, and will generally be allowed as a refund or credit against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the holder furnishes the required information to the IRS.

Reporting Requirements. A significant holder of our shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes who receives shares of F.N.B. common stock upon completion of the merger will be required to retain records pertaining to the merger and to file with such holder’s U.S. federal income tax return for the year in which the merger takes place a statement setting forth certain facts relating to the merger. For this purpose, an OBA shareholder is only a significant holder if the person owns at least 5% of our outstanding shares or has a basis of $1,000,000 or more in our shares. Such statement must include the holder’s tax basis in and fair market value of our shares surrendered in the merger.

THE FOREGOING SUMMARY IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL ANALYSIS OF THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO YOU. WE URGE YOU TO CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO YOU.

DESCRIPTION OF F.N.B. CAPITAL STOCK

As a result of the merger, OBA shareholders who receive shares of F.N.B. common stock in the merger will become shareholders of F.N.B. The following summary of F.N.B. capital stock, including the common stock to be issued in the merger, is not complete and is qualified by reference to the F.N.B. articles of incorporation and the F.N.B. bylaws. You are urged to read the applicable provisions of Florida law, the F.N.B. articles of incorporation and the F.N.B. bylaws and U.S. federal law governing bank holding companies carefully and in their entirety.

Common Stock

F.N.B. is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of April 30, 2014, there were 166,426,974 shares of F.N.B. common stock outstanding. Pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) F.N.B. had issued to the U.S. Treasury a warrant expiring on January 9, 2019, which is exercisable for up to 651,042 shares of F.N.B. common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at an exercise price of $11.52 per share. In connection with F.N.B.’s acquisitions of Parkvale Financial Corporation, completed on January 1, 2012, and Annapolis Bancorp, Inc., completed on April 6, 2013, F.N.B. assumed the warrants those institutions had issued to the U.S. Treasury pursuant to the Capital Purchase Program, subject to appropriate adjustments to reflect the exchange ratio that F.N.B. offered to Parkvale and Annapolis Bancorp shareholders in those acquisitions. As a result, following its acquisition of Parkvale, F.N.B. issued to the U.S. Treasury a warrant expiring on December 23, 2018 to purchase up to 819,640 shares of F.N.B. common stock at an exercise price of $5.81 per share; and following F.N.B.’s acquisition of Annapolis Bancorp, F.N.B. issued to the U.S. Treasury a warrant expiring on January 30, 2019 to purchase up to 342,564 shares of F.N.B. common stock at an initial exercise price of $3.57 per share. All of the warrants F.N.B. issued to the U.S. Treasury are immediately exercisable.

Voting and Other Rights. The holders of F.N.B. common stock are entitled to one vote per share, and in general a majority of the votes cast with respect to a matter is sufficient to authorize action upon such matter. Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast, and each shareholder entitled to vote in an election of directors is entitled to vote each share of stock for as many persons as there are directors to be elected. In elections of directors, shareholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes.

In the event of a liquidation, holders of F.N.B. common stock are entitled to receive pro rata any assets legally available for distribution to shareholders with respect to shares held by them, subject to any prior rights of the holders of any of shares of F.N.B. preferred stock then outstanding. For a description of the F.N.B. preferred stock currently outstanding, see “—Preferred Stock.”

F.N.B. common stock does not carry any preemptive rights, redemption privileges, sinking fund privileges or conversion rights.

Distributions. The holders of F.N.B. common stock are entitled to receive such dividends or distributions as the F.N.B. board of directors may declare out of funds legally available for such payments, subject to any prior rights of any of F.N.B.’s then outstanding preferred stock. F.N.B.’s payment of distributions is subject to the restrictions of Florida law applicable to the declaration of distributions by a business corporation. A corporation generally may not authorize and make distributions if, after giving effect thereto, it would be unable to meet its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or if the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if it had been dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy claims upon dissolution of shareholders who have rights superior to the rights of the holders of its common stock. F.N.B. may pay stock dividends, if any are declared, from authorized but unissued shares.

 

80


Table of Contents

As a holding company, F.N.B. relies primarily on dividends from its subsidiaries as a source of funds to meet its corporate obligations. F.N.B.’s ability to pay dividends to shareholders is largely dependent on dividends from its subsidiaries, principally its banking subsidiary, First National Bank of Pennsylvania. The right of F.N.B. to participate in any distribution of earnings or assets of its subsidiaries is subject to the prior claims of creditors of those subsidiaries. Under U.S. federal law, the amount of dividends that a national bank such as First National Bank of Pennsylvania may pay in a calendar year is dependent on the amount of net income for the current year combined with its retained net income for the two preceding years. Also, bank regulators have the authority to prohibit First National Bank of Pennsylvania from paying dividends if the bank regulators determine that it is in an unsafe or unsound condition or that the payment would be an unsafe and unsound banking practice.

Transfer Agent. The transfer agent and registrar for F.N.B.’s common stock is Registrar and Transfer Company, 10 Commerce Drive, Cranford, NJ 07016; telephone number (800) 866-1340.

For more information regarding the rights of holders of F.N.B. common stock, see “Comparison of Shareholder Rights” beginning on page [    ].

Preferred Stock

F.N.B.’s board of directors is authorized to provide for the issuance by F.N.B. of up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, without shareholder approval unless otherwise required. F.N.B.’s board of directors is authorized to determine the rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of each series of F.N.B. preferred stock at the time of issuance, including, without limitation, rights as to dividends, voting, liquidation preferences and convertibility into shares of F.N.B. common stock. If so determined by F.N.B.’s board of directors, shares of F.N.B. preferred stock may have dividend, redemption, voting and liquidation rights that take priority over its common stock, and may be convertible into F.N.B. common stock.

Series E Preferred Stock. On October 31, 2013, pursuant to action by its board of directors, F.N.B. amended its articles of incorporation to fix the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of its Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E (the “Series E Preferred Stock”). There currently are 110,877 shares of Series E Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

The terms of the Series E Preferred Stock provide that holders of the Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, if, when and as declared by the F.N.B. board of directors, non-cumulative cash dividends at a rate per annum equal to 7.25% payable quarterly in arrears. No dividends may be paid on F.N.B.’s common stock or other junior stock unless all the full dividends for the latest dividend period have been declared and paid on all outstanding shares of the Series E Preferred Stock. F.N.B. may, at its option, redeem the Series E Preferred Stock on or after February 15, 2024, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the liquidation amount per share ($1,000) plus the per share amount of any declared and unpaid dividends. The Series E Preferred Stock is also redeemable at F.N.B.’s option upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the treatment of the Series E Preferred Stock for purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines or regulations of the Federal Reserve Board or other appropriate federal banking agency. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of F.N.B., the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the liquidation amount per share ($1,000), plus any declared and unpaid dividends prior to the payment of the liquidating distribution, after satisfaction of liabilities or obligations to creditors and subject to the rights of holders of any shares of capital stock ranking senior to the Series E Preferred Stock, but before any distribution of assets is made to holders of F.N.B. common stock or any other class or series of F.N.B. capital stock ranking junior to the Series E Preferred Stock with respect to distributions on liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.

Holders of the Series E Preferred Stock have no voting rights except in limited circumstances, including: the right to elect two directors, whose seats will be automatically added to the then-current board of directors of F.N.B. in certain circumstances where dividends have not been paid for six or more quarterly dividend periods; the right to vote on the authorization, creation or issuance of shares of a class or series of stock that is senior to

 

81


Table of Contents

the Series E Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or as to distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of F.N.B.; the right to vote on amendments to the F.N.B. articles of incorporation which adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or special powers of the Series E Preferred Stock; and the right to vote on a binding share exchange or re-classification involving the Series E Preferred Stock or a merger or consolidation of F.N.B. unless the Series E Preferred Stock remains outstanding or is exchanged for preference securities that are not materially less favorable than the terms of the Series E Preferred Stock.

Competition

OBA Bank faces intense competition in making loans and attracting deposits in the market areas served by OBA Bank. OBA Bank competes with commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage brokerage firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, and investment banking firms. Some competitors have greater name recognition and market presence that benefit them in attracting business and offer certain services that OBA Bank does not or cannot provide.

Lending Activities

OBA Bank’s primary lending activities are the origination of commercial real estate, commercial business, construction, and residential mortgage loans, and home equity loans and lines of credit. To a lesser extent, OBA Bank also originates other consumer loans.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Properties securing OBA Bank’s commercial real estate loans generally include small office buildings, office/warehouse space, and other general use commercial structures. OBA Bank is seeking to originate more loans for business owner-occupied properties and select investment properties. OBA Bank typically seeks to originate commercial real estate loans with initial principal balances of $2.5 million or less. All of OBA Bank’s commercial real estate loans are secured by properties located in OBA Bank’s primary market area.

In the underwriting of commercial real estate loans, OBA Bank generally lends up to the lesser of 80% of the property’s appraised value or purchase price. The credit decision is based primarily on the economic viability of the property and the creditworthiness of the borrower. In evaluating a proposed commercial real estate loan, the ratio of the property’s projected net cash flow to the loan’s debt service requirement, generally requiring a minimum ratio of 125%, is emphasized and is computed after deductions for a vacancy factor and property expenses, as deemed appropriate. Personal guarantees are usually obtained from commercial real estate borrowers. OBA Bank requires title insurance, fire and extended coverage casualty insurance, and, if appropriate, flood insurance, in order to protect OBA Bank’s security interest in the underlying property. Almost all of OBA Bank’s commercial real estate loans are generated internally by OBA Bank’s loan officers.

Commercial Business Loans. OBA Bank makes secured and unsecured commercial business loans primarily to small and medium sized businesses primarily located in Montgomery, Howard, and Anne Arundel

Counties, Maryland. OBA Bank is well diversified from an industry perspective with no major concentrations in any industry. Commercial business loans, both fixed and adjustable rate, consist of term loans, as well as, closed and open-end lines of credit for the purpose of current asset financing, equipment purchase, working capital, and other general business purposes. The adjustable-rate is generally indexed to a short-term market rate. OBA Bank seeks to originate loans with principal balances between $100 thousand and $2.5 million. Generally, the maximum term of a commercial business loan is ten years.

Construction Loans. OBA Bank makes construction loans for rental properties, commercial buildings, and homes built by developers on speculative, undeveloped property. The terms of commercial construction loans are made in accordance with OBA Bank’s commercial loan policy. Advances on construction loans are made in accordance with a schedule reflecting the cost of construction, but are generally limited to an 80% loan-to-completed-appraised-value ratio. Generally, before making a commitment to fund a construction loan, OBA Bank requires an appraisal of the property by a state-certified or state-licensed appraiser. OBA Bank reviews and inspects all properties before disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan. Repayment of construction loans on residential properties is normally expected from the property’s eventual rental income, income from the borrower’s operating entity, or the sale of the subject property. In the case of income-producing property, repayment is usually expected from permanent financing upon completion of construction. Construction loans are interest-only loans during the construction period, which generally will not exceed twelve months, and convert to permanent, fully amortizing financing following the completion of construction. OBA Bank typically provides the permanent mortgage financing on OBA Bank’s construction loans on income-producing property.

Residential Mortgage Loans. OBA Bank offers fixed-rate and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans with maturities up to 30 years. Residential mortgage loans are generally underwritten according to Freddie Mac guidelines. OBA Bank refers to loans that conform to such guidelines as Conforming Loans. OBA Bank generally originates both fixed and adjustable rate mortgage loans in amounts up to the maximum Conforming Loan limits as established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency; which is, generally, $417 thousand for single-family homes, but is $626 thousand for single-family homes located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. OBA Bank also originates loans above the amounts for Conforming Loans, which are referred to as Jumbo Loans. OBA Bank’s maximum loan amount for Jumbo Loans is generally $1.0 million. OBA Bank generally underwrites Jumbo Loans in a manner similar to Conforming Loans. Jumbo Loans are not uncommon in OBA Bank’s market area. Loans in excess of $417 thousand are generally originated for retention in OBA Bank’s loan portfolio.

OBA Bank’s loan policies allow for the origination of loans with loan-to-value ratios up to 95%. OBA Bank generally requires private mortgage insurance for loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, OBA Bank originated one residential mortgage loan with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80%.

OBA Bank offers a first-time home buyer program. Through this program, the borrower could potentially qualify for a credit towards closing costs.

Other than construction loans and home equity lines of credit, OBA Bank does not offer interest only mortgage loans on residential properties. An interest only loan is defined as the borrower paying interest only for an initial period, after which the loan converts to a fully amortizing loan. Additionally, OBA Bank does not offer loans that provide for negative amortization of principal. These loans allow the borrower to pay less than the interest owed on the loan, resulting in an increased principal balance during the life of the loan. OBA Bank does not offer subprime loans, loans that generally target borrowers with weakened credit histories typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments, bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burden ratios, or Alt-A loans, traditionally defined as loans having less than full documentation.

Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit. Home equity loans and lines of credit are secured by the borrower’s primary residence or secondary residence. OBA Bank’s home equity loans are originated with fixed rates of interest and with terms of up to 15 years. Home equity lines of credit have a maximum term of 25 years. The borrower is permitted to draw against the line during the first ten years of the line of credit. During this draw period, repayments are made on an interest-only basis. After this initial ten-year draw period, the borrower is required to make payments to principal based on a fifteen year amortization.

The home equity lines of credit are currently originated with adjustable rates of interest. Home equity loans and lines of credit are generally underwritten with the same criteria that are used to underwrite residential mortgage loans. For a borrower’s primary residence, home equity loans and lines of credit may be underwritten with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 75% when combined with the principal balance of the existing mortgage loan, while the maximum loan-to-value ratio on secondary residences and investment properties is 70% when combined with the principal balance of the existing mortgage loan.

OBA Bank requires appraisals on home equity loans and lines of credit. At the time of closing a home equity loan or line of credit, OBA Bank records the mortgage to perfect the security interest in the underlying collateral. At March 31, 2014, OBA Bank’s self-imposed maximum limit for a home equity loan or a line of credit was, generally, $200 thousand. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, OBA Bank originated one home equity loan or line of credit with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80%.

Loan Originations, Purchases, Sales, Participations and Servicing. All loans originated are underwritten pursuant to OBA Bank’s policies and procedures, which incorporate standard underwriting guidelines, including those of Freddie Mac, to the extent applicable. OBA Bank originates both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans. Most of OBA Bank’s residential mortgage loan originations are generated by OBA Bank’s employees located in OBA Bank’s branch offices and corporate headquarters.

OBA Bank intends to sell most of the residential mortgage loans it originates servicing released, but will retain many of its originated jumbo residential mortgage loans. Loans sold by OBA Bank are sold without recourse, except for normal representations and warranties provided in sale transactions. Loan servicing includes collecting and remitting loan payments, accounting for principal and interest, contacting delinquent borrowers, supervising foreclosures and property dispositions in the event of un-remedied defaults, making certain insurance and tax payments are paid on behalf of the borrowers, and generally administering the loans. OBA Bank retains a portion of the interest paid by the borrower on the loans serviced as consideration for the servicing activities.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, OBA Bank did not have to repurchase any loans or provide loss reimbursement on loans sold.

From time to time, OBA Bank enters into participations in commercial loans with other banks. In these circumstances, OBA Bank will generally follow OBA Bank’s customary loan underwriting and approval policies.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. OBA Bank’s lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by OBA Bank’s Board of Directors (“Board”). The loan approval process is intended to assess the borrower’s ability to repay the loan and value of the property that will secure the loan. To assess the borrower’s ability to repay, OBA Bank reviews the borrower’s employment and credit history and information on the historical and projected income and expenses of the borrower. OBA Bank requires full documentation on all loan applications.

Management establishes OBA Bank’s policies and loan approval limits; which are approved by the Board. Consumer loans in amounts up to $100 thousand, residential real estate loans up to the Freddie Mac conforming loan limit, and commercial loans up to $2.0 million can be approved by designated individual officers or officers acting together with specific lending approval authority. Relationships in excess of these amounts require the approval of the Board or its loan committee.

OBA Bank requires appraisals for all real property securing residential mortgage and commercial real estate loans and home equity loans and lines of credit. All appraisals are performed by state-licensed or state-certified appraisers. OBA Bank’s practice is to have local appraisers approved annually by the Board.

Investments

OBA Bank’s securities portfolio consists primarily of mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises that are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

OBA Bank’s Investment Committee, which is comprised of the Board’s Executive Committee and OBA Bank’s Chief Financial Officer, has primary responsibility for establishing and overseeing the investment policy. The general investment strategies are developed by the Chief Financial Officer and approved by the Management Asset Liability Committee and the Investment Committee or Board. OBA Bank’s President and the Chief Financial Officer are responsible for the execution of specific investment actions. These officers are authorized to execute investment transactions of up to $1.0 million per transaction without the Investment Committee or Board’s prior approval of the investment strategy provided the transactions are within the scope of the established investment policy. The investment policy is reviewed and approved annually by the Management Asset Liability Committee and changes to the policy are subject to approval by the Investment Committee or Board. Investment policy objectives include, but are not limited to, providing liquidity necessary to conduct business activities of OBA Bank, collateral for pledging, a portfolio of high credit quality assets, and enhancing profitability within the overall asset/liability management objectives of OBA Bank. All gains and losses on securities transactions are reported to the Board on a monthly basis.

OBA Bank’s current investment policy permits, among other securities, investments in securities issued by the U.S. Government as well as mortgage-backed securities and direct obligations of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. OBA Bank’s current investment policy does not permit investment derivatives as defined in federal banking regulations or in other high-risk securities. The investment policy permits, among other assets and with certain limitations, investments in certificates of deposit, collateralized mortgage obligations, auction rate/money market preferred securities, and mutual funds, limited to adjustable rate mortgage funds. The policy also permits investments in equity securities, generally limited to agency and Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) common and preferred stock. OBA Bank’s investment in equity securities outside the policy’s general limitation totaled $50 thousand at March 31, 2014 and is not considered material.

OBA Bank’s investment policy expressly prohibits the use of the investment portfolio for market-oriented trading activities or speculative purposes unless otherwise approved by the Board. OBA Bank does not intend to profit in the investment account from short-term securities price movements. Accordingly, OBA Bank does not currently have a trading account for investment securities.

Accounting guidance requires that, at the time of purchase, OBA Bank designate a security as either held to maturity, available-for-sale, or trading based upon OBA Bank’s ability and intent to hold the security. Securities available-for-sale and trading securities are reported at fair value and securities held to maturity are reported at amortized cost. A periodic review and evaluation of the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities portfolios is conducted to determine if the fair value of any security has declined below its carrying value and whether such decline is other-than-temporary. The fair values of mortgage-backed securities are based on quoted market prices or, when quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are not available, are based on matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique that relies on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

Mortgage-backed securities are securities issued in the secondary market that are collateralized by pools of mortgages. Certain types of mortgage-backed securities are commonly referred to as pass-through certificates because the principal and interest of the underlying loans are passed through to investors, net of certain costs,

including servicing and guarantee fees. Mortgage-backed securities typically are collateralized by pools of residential mortgages. Issuers of such securities pool the loans and resell the participation interests in the form of securities to investors. The interest rate on the security is lower than the interest rates on the underlying loans to allow for payment of servicing and guaranty fees. Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac, either guarantee the payments or guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest to investors. Mortgage-backed securities are more liquid than individual mortgage loans since there is an active trading market for such securities. In addition, mortgage-backed securities may be used to collateralize borrowings. Investments in mortgage-backed securities include a risk that actual principal payments will be greater or less than the prepayment rate estimated at the time of purchase, or prepayment risk. The difference in expected cash flow may require adjustments to the amortization of premium or accretion of discount relating to the security, thereby affecting the net yield on the security.

Sources of Funds

General. Deposits traditionally have been the primary source of funds for investment and lending activities. OBA Bank also borrows from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and from securities dealers to supplement cash flow needs, change the maturity of liabilities for interest rate risk management purposes, and manage OBA Bank’s cost of funds. Additional sources of funds are scheduled loan payments, maturing investments, loan repayments, customer repurchase agreements, retained earnings, income on other earning assets, and the proceeds of loan sales.

Deposits. OBA Bank accepts deposits primarily from the areas in which OBA Bank’s offices are located. OBA Bank relies on competitive pricing and products, convenient locations, and quality customer service to attract and retain deposits. OBA Bank offers a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms. The deposit accounts consist of commercial and consumer checking, money market, savings, individual retirement accounts, and certificates of deposit. OBA Bank accepts deposits through the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) program, which are classified as brokered deposits for regulatory purposes and can accept brokered deposits.

Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees, and withdrawal penalties are reviewed and adjusted on a periodic basis by Management and approved by OBA Bank’s Asset Liability Committee. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies, market interest rates, liquidity requirements, and OBA Bank’s deposit growth goals.

Borrowings. OBA Bank’s borrowings consist of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and funds borrowed from securities dealers and customers under repurchase agreements. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta are secured by pledged mortgage-backed securities, as well as, a blanket pledge on various categories of assets. Repurchase agreements are generally secured by mortgage-backed securities.

Personnel

As of March 31, 2014, OBA had 64 full-time equivalent employees. OBA’s employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management believes that there is a good working relationship with OBA’s employees.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

General

OBA Bank is supervised and examined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and is subject to examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution may engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC’s deposit insurance funds and depositors, and not for the protection of security holders. Under this system of federal regulation, financial institutions are periodically examined to ensure that they satisfy applicable standards with respect to their capital adequacy, assets, management, earnings, liquidity and, sensitivity to market interest rates. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency examines OBA Bank and prepares reports on any operating deficiencies for the consideration of its Board of Directors. OBA Bank also is a member of and owns stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, which is one of the twelve regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System. OBA Bank also is regulated to a lesser extent by the Federal Reserve Board, governing reserves to be maintained against deposits and other matters. OBA Bank’s relationship with its depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by federal law and, to a much lesser extent, state law, especially in matters concerning the ownership of deposit accounts and the form and content of OBA Bank’s loan documents.

Any change in these laws or regulations, whether by the FDIC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on OBA, and its operations.

OBA Financial Services, Inc., as a savings and loan holding company, is required to file certain reports with, is subject to examination by, and otherwise must comply with the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. OBA is also subject to the rules and regulations of the SEC under the federal securities laws.

Certain of the regulatory requirements that are applicable to OBA Bank and OBA Financial Services, Inc. are described below. This description of statutes and regulations is not intended to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on OBA Bank and OBA Financial Services, Inc., and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual statutes and regulations.

Dodd-Frank Act

The Dodd-Frank Act has changed bank regulatory structure and is affecting the lending, investment, trading, and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated OBA’s former primary federal regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision and required OBA Bank to be regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the primary federal regulator for national banks, as of July 21, 2011. The Dodd-Frank Act also authorizes the Federal Reserve Board to supervise and regulate all savings and loan holding companies in addition to the bank holding companies that it previously regulated. The Dodd-Frank Act also requires the Federal Reserve Board to set minimum capital levels for depository institution holding companies that are as stringent as those required for the insured depository subsidiaries. Additionally, the components of Tier 1 capital would be restricted to capital instruments that are currently considered to be Tier 1 capital for insured depository institutions.

The Dodd-Frank Act also created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) with broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The CFPB has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions, including the authority to prohibit unfair, deceptive or abusive acts and practices. The CFPB has examination and enforcement authority over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets. Banks and savings institutions with $10 billion or less in assets continue to be examined for compliance by their applicable bank regulators. The legislation also weakened the federal preemption available for national banks and federal savings associations, and gave state attorneys general the ability to enforce applicable federal consumer protection laws.

 

91


Table of Contents

The legislation also broadened the base for FDIC insurance assessments. Assessments are now based on an institution’s average consolidated total assets less tangible equity capital. The Dodd-Frank Act also permanently increased the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions and credit unions to $250 thousand per depositor. The legislation also required rules governing retention of a portion of credit risk by originators of certain securitized loans, stipulated regulatory rate-setting for certain debit card interchange fees, repealed restrictions on the payment of interest on commercial demand deposits and contained a number of reforms related to mortgage originations. The Dodd-Frank Act increased stockholder influence over boards of directors by requiring companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation and so-called “golden parachute” payments and authorizing the SEC to promulgate rules that would allow stockholders to nominate and solicit votes for their own candidates using a company’s proxy materials. The legislation directed the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to bank holding company executives, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded or not. The Dodd-Frank Act provided for originators of certain securitized loans to retain a percentage of the risk for transferred loans, directed the Federal Reserve Board to regulate pricing of certain debit card interchange fees and contained a number of reforms related to mortgage origination.

Federal Banking Regulation

Business Activities. A federal savings bank derives its lending and investment powers from the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended, and federal regulations. Under these laws and regulations, OBA Bank may invest in mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer loans, certain types of debt securities, and certain other assets, subject to applicable limits. OBA Bank also may invest specified amounts in subsidiaries that may engage in activities not otherwise permissible for OBA Bank, including real estate investment and securities and insurance brokerage.

Capital Requirements. Federal regulations require savings banks to meet three minimum capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital ratio, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for savings banks receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS rating system) and an 8% risk-based capital ratio.

The risk-based capital standard for savings banks requires the maintenance of Tier 1 (core) and total capital (which is defined as core capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 4% and 8%, respectively. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 100%, based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Core capital is defined as common stockholders’ equity (including retained earnings), certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles other than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit card relationships. The components of supplementary capital include cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, and up to 45% of net unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. Overall, the amount of supplementary capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital. Additionally, a savings bank that retains credit risk in connection with an asset sale may be required to maintain additional regulatory capital because of the purchaser’s recourse against the savings bank. In assessing an institution’s capital adequacy, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency takes into consideration not only these numeric factors but also qualitative factors as well, and has the authority to establish higher capital requirements for individual associations where necessary.

In July 2013, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that will revise their leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rule applies to all depository institutions, top-tier bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $500 million or more

 

92


Table of Contents

and top-tier savings and loan holding companies. Among other things, the rule establishes a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), increases the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assigns a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The final rule also requires unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt-in or opt-out is exercised. The rule limits a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The final rule becomes effective for OBA Bank on January 1, 2015. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016 and ending January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer requirement will be effective.

At March 31, 2014 OBA Bank’s capital exceeded all applicable requirements.

Loans-to-One Borrower. Generally, a federal savings bank may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be loaned, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which generally does not include real estate.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test. As a federal savings bank, OBA Bank must satisfy the qualified thrift lender test (“QTL”). Under the QTL, OBA Bank must maintain at least 65% of its portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments, primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including mortgage-backed securities, in at least nine months of the most recent 12-month period. Portfolio assets generally mean total assets of a savings bank, less the sum of specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, and the value of property used in the conduct of OBA Bank’s business. OBA Bank also may satisfy the QTL by qualifying as a domestic building and loan association as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. A savings bank that fails the QTL is subject to certain operating restrictions. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act made noncompliance with the QTL potentially subject to agency enforcement action for violation of laws.

Capital Distributions. Federal regulations govern capital distributions by a federal savings bank, which include cash dividends, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the savings bank’s capital account. A savings bank must file an application for approval of a capital distribution if:

 

    the total capital distributions for the applicable calendar year exceed the sum of the savings bank’s net income for that year to date plus the savings bank’s retained net income for the preceding two years;

 

    the savings bank would not be at least adequately capitalized following the distribution;

 

    the distribution would violate any applicable statute, regulation, agreement or condition imposed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency; or

 

    the savings bank is not eligible for expedited treatment of its filings.

Even if an application is not otherwise required, every savings bank that is a subsidiary of a holding company must still file a regulatory notice at least 30 days before the Board of Directors declares a dividend or approves a capital distribution.

Such a notice or application may be disapproved if:

 

    the savings bank would be undercapitalized following the distribution;

 

    the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness concerns; or

 

    the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation or agreement.

 

93


Table of Contents

In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act provides that an insured depository institution shall not make any capital distribution, if after making such distribution the institution would be undercapitalized.

Liquidity. A federal savings bank is required to maintain a sufficient amount of liquid assets to ensure its safe and sound operation. OBA Bank’s primary source of liquidity to meet short- and long-term funding needs are cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank, deposits, loan repayments, repurchase agreements with security dealers, and borrowing lines at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.

Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws. All federal savings banks have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and related federal regulations to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income borrowers. In connection with its examination of a federal savings bank, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required to assess the savings bank’s record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from discriminating in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those statutes. A savings bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in denial of certain corporate applications such as branches or mergers. The failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions by regulators and the Department of Justice. OBA Bank received an “outstanding” Community Reinvestment Act rating in its most recent federal examination. The Community Reinvestment Act requires all Federal Deposit Insurance-insured institutions to publicly disclose their rating.

Transactions with Related Parties. A federal savings bank’s authority to engage in transactions with its affiliates is limited by federal regulations and by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and its implementation of Regulation W promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. An affiliate is generally a company that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with an insured depository institution such as OBA Bank. OBA Financial Services, Inc. is an affiliate of OBA Bank. In general, transactions between an insured depository institution and its affiliates are subject to certain quantitative and collateral requirements. In addition, federal regulations prohibit a savings bank from lending to any of its affiliates that are engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and from purchasing the securities of any affiliate, other than a subsidiary. Finally, transactions with affiliates must be consistent with safe and sound banking practices, not involve low-quality assets and be on terms that are as favorable to the institution as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. Federal regulations require savings banks to maintain detailed records of all transactions with affiliates.

OBA Bank’s authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders, as well as to entities controlled by such persons, is currently governed by the requirements of Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve Board. Among other things, these provisions require that extensions of credit to insiders:

 

  (i) be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features; and

 

  (ii) not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of OBA Bank’s capital.

In addition, extensions of credit in excess of certain limits must be approved by OBA Bank’s Board of Directors. Extensions of credit to executive officers are also subject to additional restrictions.

Enforcement. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has primary enforcement responsibility over federal savings banks and has the authority to bring enforcement action against all institution-affiliated parties, including directors, officers, stockholders, attorneys, appraisers, and/or accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on a federal savings bank. Formal enforcement

action may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers and/or directors of the institution, and the appointment of a receiver or conservator. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and actions, and range up to $25 thousand per day, unless a finding of reckless disregard is made, in which case penalties may be as high as $1.0 million per day.

Standards for Safety and Soundness. Federal law requires each federal banking agency to prescribe certain standards for all insured depository institutions. These standards relate to, among other things, internal controls, information and audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, compensation, and other operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. Interagency guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If an institution fails to meet these standards, the appropriate federal banking agency may require the institution to implement an acceptable compliance plan. Failure to implement such a plan can result in further enforcement action, including the issuance of a cease and desist order or the imposition of civil money penalties.

Prompt Corrective Action Regulations. Under prompt corrective action regulations, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is authorized and, under certain circumstances, required to take supervisory actions against undercapitalized savings banks. For this purpose, a savings bank is placed in one of the following five categories based on the savings bank’s capital:

 

    well-capitalized (at least 5% leverage capital, 6% Tier 1 risk-based capital and 10% total risk-based capital);

 

    adequately capitalized (at least 4% leverage capital (3% for savings banks with a composite examination rating of 1), 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital and 8% total risk-based capital);

 

    undercapitalized (less than 4% leverage capital (3% for savings banks with a composite examination rating of 1), 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital or 3% leverage capital);

 

    significantly undercapitalized (less than 6% total risk-based capital, 3% Tier 1 risk-based capital or 3% leverage capital); or

 

    critically undercapitalized (less than 2% tangible capital).

Generally, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for a savings bank that is critically undercapitalized within specific time frames. The regulations also provide that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency within 45 days of the date a savings bank receives notice that it is undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized. Any holding company of the savings bank that is required to submit a capital restoration plan must guarantee the lesser of an amount equal to 5% of the savings bank’s assets at the time it was notified or deemed to be undercapitalized by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or the amount necessary to restore the savings bank to adequately capitalized status. This guarantee remains in place until the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency notifies the savings bank that it has maintained adequately capitalized status for each of four consecutive calendar quarters. Failure by a holding company to provide the required guarantee will result in certain operating restrictions on the savings bank, such as restrictions on the ability to declare and pay dividends, pay executive compensation and management fees, and increase assets or expand operations. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency may also take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions against undercapitalized savings banks, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors. The final rule discussed above that increases regulatory capital requirements will revise the prompt corrective action categories accordingly.

At March 31, 2014, OBA Bank met the criteria for being considered “well-capitalized.”

Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) of the FDIC insures deposits at FDIC-insured depository institutions, such as OBA Bank. Deposit accounts in OBA Bank are insured by the FDIC; generally up to a maximum of $250 thousand per separately insured depositor and up to a maximum of $250 thousand for self-directed retirement accounts.

The FDIC charges insured depository institutions premiums to maintain the DIF. Under the FDIC’s risk-based assessment system, insured institutions are assigned to one of four risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels, and certain other risk factors. Rates are based on each institution’s risk category and certain specified risk adjustments. Stronger institutions pay lower rates while riskier institutions pay higher rates. Assessment rates range from 2.5 to 45 basis points of an institution’s total assets less tangible capital.

The Dodd-Frank Act increased the minimum target ratio for the Deposit Insurance Fund from 1.15% of estimated insured deposits to 1.35% of estimated insured deposits. The FDIC must seek to achieve the 1.35% ratio by September 30, 2020. Insured institutions with assets of $10 billion or more are supposed to fund the increase. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated the 1.5% maximum fund ratio, instead leaving it to the discretion of the FDIC and the FDIC has exercised that discretion by establishing a long-term fund ratio of 2%.

In addition to the FDIC assessments, the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) is authorized to impose and collect, with the approval of the FDIC, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs, and custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980s to recapitalize the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the FICO are due to mature in 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the annualized FICO assessment was equal to 0.62 basis points of an institution’s total assets less tangible capital.

Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order, or condition imposed by the FDIC. OBA Bank does not know of any practice, condition, or violation that could lead to termination of its deposit insurance.

Prohibitions Against Tying Arrangements. Federal savings banks are prohibited, subject to some exceptions, from extending credit to or offering any other service, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service, on the condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the institution or its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor of the institution.

Federal Home Loan Bank System. OBA Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of twelve regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank System provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions as well as other entities involved in home mortgage lending. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, OBA Bank is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Other Regulations

Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by OBA Bank are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. OBA Bank’s operations are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:

 

    Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers;

 

    Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, requiring that borrowers for mortgage loans for residential real estate receive various disclosures, including good faith estimates of settlement costs, lender servicing and escrow account practices, and prohibiting certain practices that increase the cost of settlement services;

 

96


Table of Contents
    Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves;

 

    Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed, or other prohibited factors in extending credit;

 

    Fair Credit Reporting Act, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies;

 

    Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies;

 

    Truth in Savings Act; and

 

    Rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws.

The operations of OBA Bank also are subject to the:

 

    Right to Financial Privacy Act which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records;

 

    Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E promulgated thereunder, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers’ rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services;

 

    Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, which gives substitute checks, such as digital check images and copies made from that image, the same legal standing as the original paper check;

 

    The USA PATRIOT Act, which requires savings banks to, among other things, establish broadened anti-money laundering compliance programs and due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of money laundering. Such required compliance programs are intended to supplement existing compliance requirements that also apply to financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations; and

 

    The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which places limitations on the sharing of consumer financial information by financial institutions with unaffiliated third parties. Specifically, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires all financial institutions offering financial products or services to retail customers to provide such customers with the financial institution’s privacy policy and provide such customers the opportunity to opt out of the sharing of certain personal financial information with unaffiliated third parties.

Holding Company Regulation

General. OBA Financial Services, Inc. is a non-diversified savings and loan holding company within the meaning of the Home Owners’ Loan Act. As such, OBA is registered with the Federal Reserve Board and subject to Federal Reserve Board regulations, examinations, supervision, and reporting requirements. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has enforcement authority over OBA and its subsidiaries. Among other things, this authority permits the Federal Reserve Board to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings institution.

The functions of the Office of Thrift Supervision relating to savings and loan holding companies and their subsidiaries, as well as rulemaking and supervision authority over savings and holding companies, were transferred to the Federal Reserve Board on July 21, 2011, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act.

Permissible Activities. The business activities of OBA are generally limited to those activities permissible for financial holding companies under Section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, or for multiple savings and loan holding companies. A financial holding company may engage in activities that are

 

97


Table of Contents

financial in nature, including underwriting equity securities and insurance as well as activities that are incidental to financial activities or complementary to a financial activity. A multiple savings and loan holding company is generally limited to activities permissible for bank holding companies under Section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act, subject to prior regulatory approval and certain additional activities authorized by federal regulations.

Federal law prohibits a savings and loan holding company, including OBA, directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, from acquiring more than 5% of another savings institution or savings and loan holding company, without prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Board. It also prohibits the acquisition or retention of, with certain exceptions, more than 5% of a non-subsidiary company engaged in activities that are not closely related to banking or financial in nature, or acquiring or retaining control of an institution that is not federally insured. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Federal Reserve Board must consider the financial and managerial resources, future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the federal deposit insurance fund, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors.

The Federal Reserve Board is prohibited from approving any acquisition that would result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings institutions in more than one state, subject to two exceptions:

 

  (i) the approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies; and

 

  (ii) the acquisition of a savings institution in another state if the laws of the state of the target savings institution specifically permit such acquisition.

The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company acquisitions.

Capital. Savings and loan holding companies are not currently subject to specific regulatory capital requirements. The Dodd-Frank Act, however, requires the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate consolidated capital requirements for depository institution holding companies that are no less stringent, both quantitatively and in terms of components of capital, than those applicable to institutions themselves. Instruments such as cumulative preferred stock and trust preferred securities will no longer be includable as Tier 1 capital, which is currently permitted for bank holding companies. The final capital rule discussed above implements the consolidated capital requirements for savings and loan holding companies effective January 1, 2015, with the capital conservation buffer phased in between 2016 and 2019.

Source of Strength. The Dodd-Frank Act extended the “source of strength” doctrine to savings and loan holding companies. The regulatory agencies must issue regulations requiring that all bank and savings and loan holding companies serve as a source of strength to their subsidiary depository institutions by providing capital, liquidity and other support in times of financial stress.

Dividends and Repurchases. The Federal Reserve Board has issued a supervisory letter regarding the payment of dividends and the repurchase of shares of common stock by bank holding companies that it has made applicable to savings and loan holding companies as well. In general, the supervisory letter provides that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the holding company appears consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial condition. Regulatory guidance provides for prior regulatory review of capital distributions in certain circumstances such as where OBA’s net income for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid over that period, is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or OBA’s overall rate of earnings retention is inconsistent with OBA’s capital needs and overall financial condition. The ability of a holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary bank becomes undercapitalized. The supervisory letter also provides for regulatory review prior to a holding Company redeeming or repurchasing its stock in certain circumstances. These regulatory policies could affect the ability of OBA to pay dividends, repurchase shares of common stock, or otherwise engage in capital distributions.

Acquisition. Under the Federal Change in Control Act, a notice must be submitted to the Federal Reserve Board if any person (including a company), or group acting in concert, seeks to acquire direct or indirect control of a savings and loan holding company. Under certain circumstances, such as where the company involved has securities registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, a change of control may occur, and prior notice is required, upon the acquisition of 10% or more of the company’s outstanding voting stock, unless the Federal Reserve Board has found that the acquisition will not result in control of the company. That rebuttable presumption applies to OBA. A change in control is defined under federal law occur upon the acquisition of 25% or more of the company’s outstanding voting stock. Under the Change in Control Act, the Federal Reserve Board generally has 60 days from the filing of a complete notice to act, taking into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the competitive effects of the acquisition.

Federal Securities Laws

OBA’s common stock is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. OBA is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and, other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

OBA common stock held by persons who are affiliates (generally officers, directors and principal shareholders) of OBA may not be resold without registration or unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. If OBA meets specified current public information requirements, each affiliate of OBA is able to sell in the public market, without registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month period.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. As directed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, OBA’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are required to certify that OBA’s quarterly and annual reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules adopted by the SEC under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act have several requirements, including having these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of OBA’s internal control over financial reporting; they have made certain disclosures to OBA’s auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors about OBA’s internal control over financial reporting; and they have included information in OBA’s quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been changes in OBA’s internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect internal control over financial reporting. OBA was subject to further reporting requirements beginning with the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 under the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. OBA has prepared policies, procedures and systems designed to ensure compliance with these regulations.

OBA MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this proxy statement/prospectus, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events and it is possible that the results described in this proxy statement/prospectus will not be achieved. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including changes in economic conditions in OBA’s market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in OBA’s market area, and competition that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. OBA does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the results of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events except as required by law.

The principal objective of this financial review is to provide an overview of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of OBA Financial Services, Inc. and its subsidiary, OBA Bank. This discussion and tabular presentations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes, as well as, other information contained herein.

Overview of Income and Expenses

Income

OBA has two primary sources of pre-tax income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income OBA earns on its loans and investments, and interest expense, which is the interest OBA pays on its deposits and borrowings.

Non-interest income is the compensation received from providing products and services and from other income. Non-interest income is primarily earned from service charges on deposit accounts, loan servicing fees, and bank owned life insurance income. OBA also earns income from the sale of residential mortgage loans and other fees and charges.

OBA recognizes gains or losses as a result of the sale of investment securities, foreclosed property, and premises and equipment. In addition, OBA recognizes losses on its investment securities that are considered other-than-temporarily impaired. Gains and losses are not a regular part of OBA’s primary sources of income.

Expenses

The expenses OBA incurs in operating its business consist of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, external processing fees, FDIC assessments, Director fees, and other non-interest expenses.

Salaries and employee benefits expense consists primarily of the salaries and wages paid to employees, expenses for health care, retirement, and other employee benefits, stock based compensation, and payroll taxes.

Occupancy expenses, which are fixed or variable costs associated with premises and equipment, consist primarily of lease payments, real estate taxes, depreciation charges, maintenance, and cost of utilities.

Equipment expense includes expenses and depreciation charges related to office and banking equipment.

External processing fees are paid to third parties primarily for data processing services.

 

101


Table of Contents

Other expenses include expenses for professional services, including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, and consulting services, the early repayment of certain borrowings, advertising and marketing, charitable contributions, insurance, office supplies, postage, telephone, and other miscellaneous operating expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contain a summary of OBA’s significant accounting policies, including a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements. These policies, as well as, estimates made by Management, are integral to the presentation of OBA’s operations and financial condition. These accounting policies require that Management make highly difficult, complex, or subjective judgments and estimates at times regarding matters that are inherently uncertain or susceptible to change. Management has discussed these significant accounting policies, the related estimates, and its judgments with the Audit Committee of the Board. Additional information regarding these policies can be found in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on the consolidated financial statements of OBA, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities for the reporting periods. Management evaluates estimates on an on-going basis and bases its estimates on historical experience and various other factors and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies require the most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of the financial statements:

Allowance for Loan Losses. Management maintains an allowance for loan losses at an amount estimated to equal all credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the statement of condition date. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and other relevant factors. However, this evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires an estimate of the loss rates for each loan group and for each impaired loan, an estimate of the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows, or an estimate of the value of collateral. Based on the estimate of the level of allowance for loan losses required, Management records a provision for loan losses to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level.

The determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on Management’s current judgments about the loan portfolio credit quality and Management’s consideration of all known relevant internal and external factors that affect loan collectability, as of the reporting date. Management cannot predict with certainty the amount of loan charge-offs that will be incurred. Management does not currently determine a range of loss with respect to the allowance for loan losses. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination processes, periodically review OBA’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require that Management recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Deferred Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be used. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future taxable income.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, securities are evaluated periodically, and at least quarterly, to determine whether a decline in their value is other than temporary.

 

102


Table of Contents

Management considers numerous factors when determining whether potential other-than-temporary impairment exists and the period over which a debt security is expected to recover. The principal factors considered are the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer (and guarantor, if any), any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, industry, or geographic area, failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, any changes to the rating of a security by a rating agency, and the presence of credit enhancements, if any, including the guarantee of the federal government or any of its agencies.

For debt securities, other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred if Management intends to sell the security, Management will, more likely than not, be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. In determining the present value of expected cash flows, Management discounts the expected cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the security at the date of acquisition or, for debt securities that are beneficial interests in securitized financial assets, at the current rate used to accrete the beneficial interest. In estimating cash flows expected to be collected, Management uses available information with respect to security prepayment speeds, expected deferral rates and severity, whether subordinated interests, if any, are capable of absorbing estimated losses and the value of any underlying collateral.

Overview

Total assets increased $20.5 million, or 5.4%, to $402.1 million at March 31, 2014 from $381.6 million at June 30, 2013. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014, OBA had net income of $832 thousand, or $0.22 basic and diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $894 thousand, or $0.24 basic and $0.23 diluted earnings per share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Net interest margin, the percentage of net interest income to average interest-earning assets, increased to 3.83% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from 3.78% for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Net interest income, the difference between interest income and interest expense, increased $90,000 to $10.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from $10.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Cash and Cash Equivalents. At March 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents increased $16.4 million to $32.6 million, from $16.2 million, at June 30, 2013. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to an increase of $20.2 million in total deposits during the same period.

At June 30, 2013 and 2012, OBA had $16.2 million and $31.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively. The reduction in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to an increase in loans and securities and a decrease in borrowings partially offset by an increase in total deposits.

Loans. At March 31, 2014, total gross loans were $306.3 million, an increase of $3.0 million, as compared to $303.3 million at June 30, 2013. The commercial loan portfolio increased $12.2 million to $207.4 million at March 31, 2014 from $195.1 million at June 30, 2013 as OBA continued its focus on originating commercial loans. The commercial real estate loan portfolio increased $13.8 million, to $153.9 million, at March 31, 2014 from $140.1 million at June 30, 2013. The commercial construction portfolio increased $1.4 million, to $14.4 million, at March 31, 2014 from $13.0 million at June 30, 2013. These increases were offset by decreases of $2.9 million, to $39.1 million, in the commercial business portfolio, $6.8 million, to $73.8 million, in the residential mortgage portfolio, and $2.5 million, to $25.1 million in the home equity loans and lines of credit portfolio.

At June 30, 2013, total loans were $303.3 million, or 79.5% of total assets, as compared to $296.2 million, or 75.6% of total assets at June 30, 2012. During the year ended June 30, 2013, the loan portfolio increased $7.0 million, or 2.4%. The increase in loans was primarily due to an increase in commercial business, commercial real estate, and construction loans partially offset by decreases in residential mortgage loans and home equity loans and lines of credit.

OBA’s mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or Government National Mortgage Association. At March 31, 2014, the securities portfolio totaled $43.3 million, or 10.8% of total assets, as compared to $38.6 million, or 10.1% of total assets, at June 30, 2013.

Table of Contents

Total residential mortgage-backed securities increased $1.8 million to $38.6 million, or 10.1% of total assets, at June 30, 2013 from $36.9 million, or 9.4% of total assets, at June 30, 2012. The reduction in the unrealized gain in the securities portfolio as of June 30, 2013 was the result of an increase in long term market interest rates as compared to the original purchase yield of the securities.

OBA currently owns one immaterial position in an insurance company-backed pooled trust preferred security that is performing as contractually obligated.

Portfolio Maturities and Yields. The composition and maturities of the investment securities portfolio at March 31, 2014 are summarized in the following table. Maturities are based on the final contractual maturity dates and do not reflect the impact of repayments or early redemptions that may occur. No tax-equivalent adjustments have been made, as OBA did not hold any tax-advantaged investment securities at March 31, 2014.

Deposits. OBA Bank accepts deposits primarily from the areas in which OBA Bank’s offices are located. Management’s focus is building broader customer relationships and targeting small business customers to increase core deposits. OBA Bank also relies on enhanced technology and customer service to attract and retain deposits. OBA Bank offers a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms. OBA Bank’s deposit accounts consist of commercial and retail checking accounts, money market deposit accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and individual retirement accounts. OBA Bank accepts deposits through the CDARS program, which are classified as brokered deposits for regulatory purposes, and can accept other brokered deposits.

Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees, and withdrawal penalties are established on a periodic basis. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies, market interest rates, liquidity requirements, and OBA Bank’s deposit growth goals.

At March 31, 2014, deposits increased $20.2 million to $303.5 million from $283.3 million at June 30, 2013. Total checking accounts increased $11.5 million to $125.2 million at March 31, 2014. Total certificates of deposits increased $17.0 million to $88.9 million at March 31, 2014. These increases were primarily offset by a decrease of $8.8 million, to $82.4 million, in money market accounts at March 31, 2014.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, deposits increased $13.7 million, or 5.1%, to $283.3 million from $269.6 million at June 30, 2012. The increase primarily resulted from an increase in time certificates of deposit of $11.1 million and a $2.4 million increase in non-interest bearing demand accounts. OBA Bank issued, at historically low long-term interest rates, longer-term brokered certificates of deposit to match the interest rate risk characteristics of the commercial loan portfolios.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2013, stockholders’ equity was $71.3 million, a decrease of $4.4 million, or 5.8%, from $75.7 million at June 30, 2012 primarily due to OBA’s share repurchase program.

Average Balances and Yields

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and rates, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as OBA did not hold any tax-advantaged interest-earning assets during the fiscal years indicated. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of net deferred costs, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income.

(1) Net interest rate spread represents the difference between the yield on average interest-earning assets and the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities.
(2) Net interest-earning assets represents total interest-earning assets less total interest-bearing liabilities.
(3) Net interest margin represents net interest income divided by average total interest-earning assets.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on OBA’s net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate, which are changes in rate multiplied by prior volume. The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume, which are changes in volume multiplied by prior rate. The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

General. Net income decreased $62 thousand to $832 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from net income of $894 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in net income was primarily a result of an increase in non-interest expense of $498 thousand partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $90 thousand and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $300 thousand.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $90 thousand, to $10.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $10.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Total interest expense decreased $307 thousand, or 17.5%, to $1.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $1.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of OBA Bank decreasing deposit rates while maintaining its competitive position within the local market, paying off several matured Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and reducing the rate on customer repurchase agreements. Interest and dividend income decreased by $217 thousand to $11.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $11.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. This decrease is primarily due to lower yields in the loan and securities portfolios.

The net interest margin was 3.83% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 3.78% for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily a result of a 17 basis point decrease in the average yield of interest-bearing liabilities as compared to a five basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets. Net interest-earning assets decreased $7.3 million as average interest-earning assets decreased $2.2 million to $353.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $355.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $5.1 million to $272.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $267.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income decreased $217 thousand to $11.6 million from $11.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as continued low market interest rates resulted in lower yields on new loan production and securities purchased. The decrease in interest and dividend income was primarily the result of a decrease in interest income on loans and securities of $177 thousand to $10.8 million from $11.0 million and $53 thousand to $731 thousand from $784 thousand, respectively, for the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as low market interest rates produced continued pressure on loan and investment security yields.

The average yield on loans decreased 19 basis points, to 4.74%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from 4.93% for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Total average loans increased $6.8 million to $303.6 million, reflecting an increase in the average balance of commercial loans of $23.8 million to $200.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in average commercial loans was offset by a decrease in average residential mortgage loans of $12.5 million to $76.8 million and a decrease in average consumer loans of $4.5 million to $26.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $89.3 million and $31.0 million, respectively, for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.

The average yield on securities increased 19 basis points to 2.21% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from 2.03% for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, due to the increase in market interest rates that slowed prepayments on the existing portfolio and the use of investment cash flows to purchase replacement bonds which contain higher yields due to the same increase in market interest rates.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $307 thousand to $1.5 million from $1.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Deposit expense decreased by $23 thousand to $930 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 as the average rate paid on deposits decreased five basis points to 0.50% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from 0.55% for nine months ended March 31, 2013.

Interest expense on borrowings decreased $284 thousand to $520 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from $804 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The average cost of borrowings

decreased five basis points to 2.71% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 as a result of paying off higher costing Federal Home Loan Bank advances and reducing the rate on customer repurchase agreements.

Provision for Loan Losses. OBA’s provision for loan losses for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 was $24 thousand, a decrease of $300 thousand from $324 thousand, for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. For further discussion related to the provision for loan losses, see “Allowance for Loan Losses” beginning at page [    ]. For further discussions related to loan portfolio performance, see “Non-performing and Problem Assets” beginning at page [    ] and Note 4 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Total non-interest income increased to $628 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, an increase of $10 thousand, as compared to $618 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in non-interest income before net gains (losses) was the result of an increase in other non-interest income of $40 thousand, to $135 thousand, for the period ended March 31, 2014 primarily offset by a decrease in Bank owned life insurance income of $14 thousand, to $199 thousand. The increase in other non-interest income was primarily the result of an increase of $31 thousand in rental income for the period ended March 31, 2014.

Total non-interest expense increased $498 thousand to $9.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from $8.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. Data processing expenses increased $179 thousand, or 30.3%, to $769 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $590 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 primarily as a result of the recent core system conversion undertaken by OBA. Other non-interest expense increased $237 thousand, to $1.5 million, for the period ended March 31, 2014 from $1.3 million for the period ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to costs associated with increased

legal and regulatory costs associated with OBA’s annual stockholders’ meeting, legal, regulatory, and accounting expense expenses associated with merger agreement between OBA and F.N.B., and a fraud perpetrated on an OBA Bank customer in which OBA Bank reimbursed the customer. FDIC assessments decreased $77 thousand, to $129 thousand, for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $206 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 as a result of lower non-performing loans and its positive impact on the FDIC assessment calculation. Salaries and employee benefits increased $105 thousand, to $5.4 million, for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from $5.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 primarily as a result of the addition of one new lender and higher ESOP compensation expense as a result of OBA’s higher market price for its common stock. For further detail regarding the merger agreement, see “Note 10—Subsequent Events” in the accompanying financial statements for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Income Taxes. OBA recorded income tax expense of $597 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, reflecting an effective tax rate of 41.8%, compared to income tax expense of $633 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, reflecting an effective tax rate of 41.5%. The difference from the effective tax rate to statutory tax rates reflects the amount of income received from bank-owned life insurance, which is tax-exempt for federal and state tax purposes, relative to total pre-tax income for each period.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

General. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, OBA had net income of $1.1 million, or $0.28 basic and diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $268 thousand, or $0.07 basic and diluted earnings per share, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. For the fiscal year 2013, net income was positively impacted by an increase in net interest income, an increase in non-interest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses offset by an increase in non-interest expense. Net interest income increased $1.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 to $13.8 million as total interest and dividend income increased and total interest expense decreased. Non-interest expense increased $746 thousand to $12.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. The provision for loan losses decreased $582 thousand to $503 thousand for the year ended June 30, 2013. Non-interest income increased $62 thousand to $796 thousand for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $1.5 million, or 12.0%, to $13.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 compared to $12.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. Interest expense decreased $1.3 million as continued low market interest rates allowed OBA to reduce deposit rates while maintaining a competitive position in its local market. Non-interest bearing deposits increased $2.4 million, or 6.0%, to $42.4 million at June 30, 2013. The increase in deposits allowed OBA to pay off, at maturity, two higher costing FHLB borrowings and partially repay another higher costing FHLB borrowing. Interest and dividend income increased $158 thousand as interest and fees on loans increased $279 thousand. Net interest margin was 3.89% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 as compared to 3.59% for fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. OBA also had two non-performing loans to not-for-profit entities pay off with full recovery on both loans during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $158 thousand to $16.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 from $15.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. Interest income on loans increased $279 thousand to $15.0 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 from $14.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. OBA had two loans to not-for profit entities pay off with full recovery of principal, interest, and fees on both loans during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, interest and dividend income on investments decreased $64 thousand to $1.1 million and income on fed funds sold decreased $57 thousand to $37 thousand. The decreases were the result of increased prepayments and lower reinvestment yields on investments due to lower market rates and a smaller fed funds sold position as cash balances were used to fund loan growth and reduce borrowings.

The average yield on loans decreased 18 basis points, to 5.03% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 from 5.21% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. Average loans increased $15.3 million, or 5.4%. Average commercial loans increased $28.0 million offset by decreases in average residential mortgage loans of $7.0 million, to $87.7 million, and in average home equity loans and lines of credit of $5.8 million, to $30.3

million, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. The average balance of commercial loans increased 18.5% to $179.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 from $151.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The reduction in the residential mortgage portfolio resulted from selling newly-originated residential mortgage loans, as well as, prepayments exceeding other originations that were held in portfolio.

The average yield on securities decreased 24 basis points to 2.00% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 from 2.24% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in yield reflects the purchase of mortgage-backed securities at lower yields as market rates declined over the period. Additionally, as market rates declined, prepayment speeds on mortgage-backed securities increased causing the yield to decrease on bonds purchased at a premium.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 36.6%, to $2.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 from $3.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. Continued low market interest rates allowed for the reduction of deposit expense by $996 thousand or 44.0%. The average rate paid on deposits decreased 45 basis points to 0.54% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 from 0.99% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The average balance of interest bearing deposits increased $4.8 million during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Average interest bearing checking deposits increased $8.7 million, or 13.7%, and average money market deposits increased $2.9 million, or 3.3%, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Average non-interest bearing demand checking accounts increased $7.6 million, or 23.1% to $40.3 million, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings decreased $244 thousand to $882 thousand for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 from $1.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. This change resulted from an $11.4 million, or 33.5%, decrease in average outstanding borrowings for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. For additional information, please see the “Borrowings” section under “Balance Sheet Analysis” beginning on page [    ]. Additionally, interest expense on repurchase agreements decreased $77 thousand, or 36.5%, to $134 thousand for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Average repurchase agreements decreased $2.4 million, or 15.5% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. The average yield on repurchase agreements decreased 35 basis points to 1.04% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 from 1.39% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in FHLB borrowings reflects management’s strategy to reduce high cost borrowings facilitated primarily by the inflow of core deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses. Based on an analysis of the factors described in “Allowance for Loan Losses, OBA recorded a provision for loan losses of $503 thousand for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 and a provision for loan losses of $1.1 million for fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, OBA had net loan charge-offs of $65 thousand and $296 thousand, respectively. Net charge-offs for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 include recoveries of $4 thousand in commercial loans and $15 thousand in residential mortgage loans. The remaining partial charge-offs include two residential mortgages, one commercial loan, and one consumer loan. Total loans increased by $7.0 million to $303.3 million at June 30, 2013 from $296.2 million at June 30, 2012. Commercial business loans increased $10.1 million, or 31.5%, to $42.3 million, construction loans increased $11.2 million to $13.0 million, and commercial real estate loans increased by $4.1 million to $140.1 million at June 30, 2013 as compared to June 30, 2012. This increase was partially offset by decreases in home equity loans and lines of credit of $5.4 million, or 16.6%, to $27.3 million and residential mortgage loans of $12.7 million, or 13.7%, to $80.5 million at June 30, 2013.

Non-performing loans totaled $697 thousand at June 30, 2013 and $6.0 million at June 30, 2012. The decrease was a result of the payoff of two commercial real estate loans to not-for-profit entities in which OBA had a full recovery on both loans.

OBA’s non-performing loans to total loans ratio decreased to 0.23% from 2.04% at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Non-performing assets totaled $697 at June 30, 2013 and $6.1 million at June 30, 2012. In addition to the above-mentioned payoff of two not-for-profit entity loans, OBA sold its lone real estate owned property during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. OBA’s non-performing assets to total assets ratio decreased to 0.18% from 1.55% at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

There were $157 thousand in loans delinquent less than 90 days and $622 thousand in loans delinquent 90 days or more with total delinquencies of $779 thousand at June 30, 2013. This represents a decrease in total delinquent loans of $5.3 million from June 30, 2012. Total delinquent loans were $6.1 million at June 30, 2012. Loans delinquent less than 90 days were $1.7 million and loans delinquent 90 days or more were $4.4 million at June 30, 2012.

The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.15% and 1.02% at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. OBA has provided for all losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at June 30, 2013 and 2012.

OBA’s non-interest expense increased to $12.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 from $11.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. Other non-interest expense increased $430 thousand, to $2.2 million, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 from $1.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. OBA partially closed a higher costing Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. OBA completed an early repayment of $3.25 million of a $10.0 million borrowing causing a loss on repayment of $488 thousand. Salaries and employee benefits increased 4.9%, or $329 thousand, to $7.1 million in the period ended June 30, 2013 primarily due to additions to staff and higher employee benefits costs. Data processing and director’s fees increased slightly, $39 thousand and $15 thousand, respectively.

Income Tax Expense. OBA recorded income tax expense of $704 thousand for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, compared to income tax expense of $185 thousand for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2013 was 38.6%, while the effective tax rate for fiscal 2012 was 40.8%.

Non-performing and Problem Assets

When a residential mortgage loan or home equity line of credit is fifteen calendar days past due, a notice is mailed informing the borrower that the loan is past due. When the loan is twenty days past due, an additional notice is mailed and OBA personnel attempt to achieve direct contact with the borrower as an additional reminder of the delinquency. When a loan is 30 days or more past due, a default notice is mailed and additional attempts at direct contact with the borrower are made. OBA personnel attempt to determine the reason(s) for the delinquency and establish a course of action by which the borrower will bring the loan current. When the loan is 45 days past due, OBA personnel investigate the issues surrounding the delinquency and repayment options and issue an additional demand letter. In addition, Management determines whether to initiate foreclosure proceedings and, if so, obtains Board approval. Foreclosure proceedings are initiated by counsel if the loan is not brought current by the end of the calendar month. Procedures for avoiding foreclosure can include restructuring the loan in a manner that provides concessions to the borrower to facilitate repayment.

Commercial business, commercial real estate, and construction loans and consumer loans are generally handled in the same manner as residential mortgage loans or home equity lines of credit.

A loan is placed on non-accrual status when payment of principal or interest is 90 days or more delinquent. If a loan is well secured and in the process of collection, exceptions to the non-accrual policy may be made. Loans may also be placed on non-accrual status if collection of principal or interest, in full, is in doubt. When loans are placed on a non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed and further income is recognized only when full repayment of the loan is complete or the loan returns to accrual status, at which point income is recognized to the extent received. The loan may be returned to accrual status if both principal and interest payments are brought current, there has been a period of sustained performance (generally six months), and full payment of principal and interest is expected.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2014, gross interest income that would have been recorded had non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms was $28 thousand. OBA recognized $3 thousand of interest income on such non-accruing loans on a cash basis during the nine-month period including interest recovered from prior periods. For the year ended June 30, 2013, gross interest income that would have been recorded had non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms was $33 thousand. OBA recognized $2 thousand of interest income on such non-accruing loans on a cash basis during the fiscal year including interest recovered from prior periods.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. Loans are periodically modified to make concessions to help a borrower remain current on the loan and to avoid foreclosure. Generally, OBA does not forgive principal or interest on loans or modify the interest rate on loans to a rate that is below market rates. At March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009, OBA had $4.1 million, $3.5 million, $5.8 million, $2.8 million, $3.4 million, and $1.0 million of these modified loans, respectively. At March 31, 2014, OBA Bank had $1.5 million in residential mortgage loans and home equity loans and lines of credit that were considered troubled debt restructurings and $2.6 million in commercial real estate loans that were considered troubled debt restructurings. At June 30, 2013, OBA had $1.9 million in residential mortgage loans and home equity loans and lines of credit that were considered troubled debt restructures. At June 30, 2013, OBA had $1.6 million commercial real estate loans that were considered troubled debt restructures. At June 30, 2012, OBA had $1.1 million in residential mortgage loans and home equity loans and lines of credit and $4.7 million in commercial real estate loans that were considered troubled debt restructures. At June 30, 2011, OBA had $731 thousand in residential mortgage loans and home equity loans and lines of credit and $2.0 million in commercial real estate loans that were

Real Estate Owned. Real estate acquired by OBA as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned. When property is acquired it is recorded at estimated fair value at the date of foreclosure less the cost to sell, establishing a new cost basis. Estimated fair value generally represents the sale price a buyer would be willing to pay on the basis of current market conditions, including normal terms from other financial institutions. Holding costs are expensed after acquisition. At March 31, 2014, OBA had no real estate owned. At June 30, 2013, OBA had no real estate owned. At June 30, 2012, OBA had $40 thousand of real estate owned. At June 30, 2011, 2010, and 2009, the same property was held at $105 thousand, $193 thousand, and $193 thousand, respectively, in real estate owned.

Classification of Assets. Various OBA policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans and other assets that are considered to be of lesser quality as substandard, doubtful, or loss assets. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those assets characterized by the distinct possibility that OBA will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Assets, or portions of assets, classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as an asset is not warranted. Assets that do not expose OBA to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve close attention, are required to be designated as Special Mention.

OBA Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses at an amount estimated to equal all credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the statement of condition date. OBA Bank’s determination as to the classification of assets is subject to review by OBA Bank’s principal federal regulator, the Office of Comptroller of the Currency. OBA regularly reviews the asset portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.

OBA had $18.7 million in loans classified as substandard at March 31, 2014 as compared to $8.2 million at June 30, 2013. At March 31, 2014, $4.7 million of the loans classified as substandard were residential mortgage or commercial real estate loans that were collateral-dependent. Management reviewed these loans for impairment on an individual loan or relationship basis.

At March 31, 2014, management determined that one of the loans listed as substandard, for $1.2 million, was considered impaired and a troubled debt restructure. Accordingly, the loans were written down to current market value. An analysis was completed for each of the loans listed as substandard according to the methodology described in “Allowance for Loan Losses. Based on this analysis, OBA provided specific reserves of $147 thousand for these loans.

OBA had $8.2 million in loans classified as substandard at June 30, 2013 as compared to $11.8 million at June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2013, $2.1 million of the loans classified as substandard were residential mortgage or commercial real estate loans that were collateral-dependent. Management reviewed these loans for impairment on an individual loan or relationship basis.

At June 30, 2013, Management determined that 11 of the loans listed as substandard, for a total of $3.5 million, were both considered impaired and troubled debt restructures. Accordingly, a specific allowance for loan losses for these loans was provided or the loans were written down to current market value. An analysis was completed for each of the loans listed as substandard according to the methodology described in “Allowance for Loan Losses. Based on this analysis, OBA provided specific reserves of $148 thousand for these loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses

OBA provides for loan losses based upon the consistent application of the documented allowance for loan loss methodology. All loan losses are charged to the allowance for loan losses and all recoveries are credited to the same. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are provided by charges to income based on various factors which, in Management’s judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating probable losses. Management regularly reviews the loan portfolio and makes provisions for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses in accordance with U.S. GAAP. OBA considers residential mortgage loans and home equity loans and lines of credit as small, homogeneous loans, which are evaluated for impairment collectively based on historical loss experience. Commercial real estate, construction, and commercial business loans are viewed individually and considered impaired if the probability exists that OBA will be unable to collect contractually obligated principal and interest cash flows. The allowance for loan losses consists primarily of three components:

 

  (1)

specific allowances established for impaired loans (as defined by U.S. GAAP). For a non-collateral dependent loan, the amount of impairment, if any, is estimated as the difference between the estimated

 

121


Table of Contents
  present value based on Management’s assumptions regarding future cash flows and discounted at the loans original yield, and the carrying value of the loan. Impaired loans for which the estimated present value of the loan exceeds the carrying value of the loan do not reduce specific allowances;

 

  (2) general allowances established for loan losses on a portfolio basis for loans that do not meet the definition of impaired loans. The portfolio is grouped into similar risk characteristics, primarily loan type. OBA applies an estimated loss rate to each loan group. The loss rates applied are based upon loss experience adjusted, as appropriate, for the environmental factors discussed below. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revisions based upon changes in economic and real estate market conditions; and

 

  (3) unallocated allowances established to provide for probable losses that have been incurred as of the reporting date but are not reflected in the allocated allowance.

Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance for loan losses established, which could have a material negative effect on financial results.

The adjustments to historical loss experience are based on Management’s evaluation of several qualitative and environmental factors, including:

 

    changes in any concentration of credit (including, but not limited to, concentrations by geography, industry, or collateral type);

 

    changes in the number and amount of non-accrual loans, watch list loans, and past due loans;

 

    changes in national, state, and local economic trends;

 

    changes to other external influences including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, peer, and regulatory changes;

 

    changes in the types of loans in the loan portfolio;

 

    changes in the experience and ability of personnel and management in the loan origination and loan servicing departments;

 

    changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans;

 

    changes in lending strategies; and

 

    changes in lending policies and procedures.

Historically, OBA experienced limited loan losses. As OBA experiences additional loan losses, Management utilizes OBA’s historical loss experience in determining applicable portions of the allowance for loan losses. Periodically, OBA adjusts its historical loss experience to reflect current economic conditions.

Management evaluates the allowance for loan losses based upon the combined total of the specific, general, and unallocated components. Generally, when the loan portfolio increases, absent other factors, the allowance for loan loss methodology results in a higher dollar amount of estimated probable losses than would be the case without the increase. Generally, when the loan portfolio decreases, absent other factors, the allowance for loan loss methodology results in a lower dollar amount of estimated probable losses than would be the case without the decrease.

Generally, OBA underwrites commercial real estate and residential real estate loans at a loan-to-value ratio of 75% or less. Accordingly, in the event that a loan becomes past due, Management will conduct visual inspections of collateral properties and/or review publicly available information, such as online databases, to ascertain property values. OBA may request a formal third party appraisal for various reasons including, but not limited to, age of previous appraisal, changes in market condition, and changes in borrower’s condition. For loans initially determined to be impaired loans, OBA utilizes the ascertained or appraised property value in

determining the appropriate specific allowance for loan losses attributable to a loan as described above. In addition, changes in the appraised value of properties securing loans can result in an increase or decrease in the general allowance for loan losses as an adjustment to the historical loss experience due to qualitative and environmental factors, as described above.

The loan portfolio is evaluated on a quarterly basis and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. While the best information available is used to make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency will periodically review the allowance for loan losses. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency may require OBA to recognize additions to the allowance based on their analysis of information available to them at the time of their examination.

The following table sets forth activity in OBA’s allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

OBA’s determination of the level of risk in its loan portfolios drives the amount of the provision for loan losses and, as a result, the balance of the allowance for loan losses. This risk is attributable to several factors, as discussed in “Allowance for Loan Losses. OBA determined there is lower risk in the residential mortgage portfolio; which consists primarily of conventionally underwritten mortgages that generally conform to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines. OBA believes its commercial real estate, commercial business, and construction loans, and home equity loans and lines of credit have greater risk than residential mortgage loans. Commercial real estate loans comprise the largest component of total loans. Commercial real estate loans totaled 50.2% of the loan portfolio at March 31, 2014. Commercial real estate loans increased to 46.2% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2013 from 45.9% and 22.8% of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2012 and 2009, respectively. Commercial business loans totaled 12.8% of the loan portfolio at March 31, 2014. Commercial business loans increased to 13.8% of total loans from 10.8% of total loans at June 30, 2012 and 7.9% of total loans at June 30, 2009. Construction loans totaled 4.7% of the loan portfolio at March 31, 2014. Construction loans increased to 4.3% of total loans at June 30, 2013 from 0.6% of total loans at June 30, 2012 and 1.7% of total loans at June 30, 2009. The increases over time in the portfolios are a continuation of Management’s strategic plan to grow the commercial loan portfolios. The allowance for loan losses associated with commercial real estate loans totaled $1.6 million at March 31, 2014. At June 30, 2013 the allowance for loan losses associated with commercial real estate loans increased to $1.6 million from $951 thousand and $319 thousand at June 30, 2012 and 2009, respectively, as commercial real estate loans continued to grow as a percentage of total loans. The allowance for loan losses associated with construction loans totaled $147 thousand at March 31, 2014. At June 30, 2013 the allowance for loan losses associated with construction loans increased to $122 thousand from $7 thousand at June 30, 2012. Home equity loans and lines of credit totaled 8.2% of the loan portfolio at March 31, 2014. Home equity loans and lines of credit decreased to 9.1% from 11.2% of total loans at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and the allowance allocated to home equity loans and lines of credit also decreased. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, OBA Bank changed its methodology for calculating the allowance for loan losses. In accordance with U.S. GAAP the change in methodology constitutes a change in accounting estimate and, accordingly, has been accounted for on a prospective basis. In an effort to more precisely calculate the allowance for loan losses, OBA began including its own historical loan losses along with estimated industry loss percentages based on loan risk ratings. Due to the limited loss history of OBA, the inclusion of its historical losses did not have a material impact on the allowance for loan loss calculation. The primary impact of this change was on the allowance for loan losses at the loan portfolio class level.

Management of Market Risk

General. OBA’s most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of OBA’s assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of OBA’s operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of the net interest income to changes in market interest rates. OBA’s Board of Directors has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in OBA’s assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given OBA’s business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity, and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board.

Historically, OBA Bank operated as a traditional thrift institution. Therefore, the significant portion of OBA Bank’s assets consisted of longer-term, fixed rate residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, which were funded primarily with checking and savings accounts and short-term borrowings. In recent years, in an effort to decrease OBA Bank’s exposure to interest rate risk, OBA Bank sold newly originated long term (primarily 30 year), residential mortgage loans and shifted OBA Bank’s focus to originating commercial real estate, construction, and commercial business loans, which generally have shorter maturities than residential mortgage loans and are primarily originated with an adjustable interest rate.

In addition to the above strategies with respect to OBA Bank’s lending activities, OBA Bank used the following strategies to reduce interest rate risk:

 

    increasing personal and business checking accounts, which are less rate-sensitive than certificates of deposit and which provide a stable, low-cost source of funds;

 

    repaying short-term borrowings; and

 

    maintaining relatively high levels of capital.

In addition, changes in interest rates can affect the fair values of financial instruments. For additional information, see the Fair Value note in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Portfolio Value

The tables below set forth, as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, OBA Bank’s internal calculation of the estimated changes in Net Portfolio Value (“NPV”), the difference between the present value of an institution’s assets and liabilities, that would result from the designated instantaneous changes in the interest rate yield curve.

(2) NPV is the difference between the present value of an institution’s assets and liabilities.
(3) Present value of assets represents the discounted present value of incoming cash flows on interest-earning assets.
(4) NPV Ratio represents NPV divided by the present value of assets.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in determining interest rate risk through changes in net portfolio value. Modeling changes in net portfolio value require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs, or loan repayments and deposit decay, respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the net portfolio value tables presented assume that the composition of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assume that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the net portfolio value tables provide an indication of OBA Bank’s interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on net interest income and will differ from actual results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations. OBA Bank’s primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, repurchase agreements, and maturities, principal repayments, the sale of available-for-sale securities, and OBA Bank’s capital. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. OBA Bank’s ALCO, under the direction of OBA’s Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and monitoring liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of OBA Bank’s customers, as well as, unanticipated contingencies. Management believes that OBA Bank has enough sources of liquidity to satisfy short- and long-term liquidity needs as of the current fiscal year end.

OBA Bank regularly monitors and adjusts the amounts of liquid assets based upon the assessment of:

 

  (i) expected loan demand;

 

  (ii) expected deposit flows and borrowing maturities;

 

  (iii) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and

 

  (iv) the objectives of OBA Bank’s asset/liability management program.

Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short-term securities and are also used to pay off short-term borrowings.

Table of Contents

The most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The level of these assets is dependent on the operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $32.6 million, compared to $16.2 million at June 30, 2013 and $31.5 million at June 30, 2012.

Cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities as reported in OBA’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in OBA’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

At March 31, 2014, OBA Bank had $79.4 million in loan commitments outstanding. At March 31, 2014 unfunded commitments under lines of credit, including letters of credit, were $39.5 million and commitments to grant loans were $39.9 million. Certificates of deposit due within one year of March 31, 2014 totaled $32.2 million. If these deposits do not remain with OBA Bank, OBA Bank may be required to seek other sources of funds, including loan sales, brokered deposits, repurchase agreements, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and Federal Reserve Bank borrowings. However, OBA Bank continues to hold cash in excess of funding needs because of continued inflows of new deposits and prepayments on longer-term, residential mortgage loans, resulting from refinancings with other financial institutions, and repayments on OBA Bank’s securities investments. This has enabled OBA Bank to lower deposit pricing and allow higher-cost Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings to run off. Depending on market conditions, OBA Bank may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than it currently pays on certificates of deposit due on or before March 31, 2015. Management believes, however, based on historical experience and current market interest rates that OBA Bank will retain, upon maturity, a large portion of the certificates of deposit with maturities of one year or less as of March 31, 2014.

OBA Bank’s primary investing activities are loan originations and security purchases. During the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, OBA Bank’s originations, net of principal collections, were $2.8, $7.0 million and $14.7 million of loans, respectively. During these periods, OBA Bank also purchased $11.0, $18.0 million and $10.1 million of securities, respectively. Security purchases were offset by principal collections of $6.2, $14.6 million and $12.5 million, respectively.

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. OBA Bank experienced a net decrease in deposits of $20.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and net increases in deposits of $13.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2013 and $12.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by OBA Bank and OBA Bank’s local competition, and by other factors.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If OBA Bank requires funds beyond OBA Bank’s ability to generate funds internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, which provide an additional source of funds. OBA Bank also utilizes securities sold under agreements to repurchase as another borrowing source. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased by $0.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, decreased by $11.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 and $2.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. At March 31, 2014, OBA Bank had the ability to borrow up to an additional $94.4 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank based upon pledging of securities; OBA Bank has less than $1.0 million in securities pledged to the Federal Reserve Discount Window. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $7.4 million at March 31, 2014, $8.5 million at June 30, 2013 and $16.4 million at June 30, 2012.

OBA Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At March 31, 2014, OBA Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. OBA Bank is considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

OBA’s initial share repurchase program was completed as of May 3, 2012, having repurchased the 462,875 shares approved in that initial program. OBA’s second share repurchase program was completed on April 17, 2013, having repurchased 208,294 shares. OBA’s Board of Directors adopted a third share repurchase program, previously disclosed in OBA’s Form 8-K filed on April 29, 2013. OBA has repurchased approximately 160,000 shares, of the approximately 210,000 shares approved in the third program, as of March 31, 2014. OBA terminated the third repurchase program concurrent with the signing of the merger agreement with F.N.B.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

Commitments. As a financial services provider, OBA Bank routinely is a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent OBA’s potential future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans made by OBA Bank. In addition, OBA Bank enters into commitments to sell mortgage loans. For additional information, see the Off Balance Sheet Activities note in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of OBA’s operations, OBA Bank enters into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities and agreements with respect to investments. The following table summarizes OBA’s significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations and other funding needs by payment date at the date listed. The payment amounts represent those amounts due to the recipient and do not include any unamortized premiums or discounts or other similar carrying amount adjustments.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

OBA’s consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration of changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of OBA’s operations. Unlike industrial companies, OBA’s assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on performance than the effects of inflation.

Dissenters’ Rights

 

OBA

 

In general, a stockholder may not demand the fair value of his or her stock and is bound by the transaction if the shares of the corporation are listed on a national securities exchange. However, OBA’s articles of incorporation provide that the Board of Directors, pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the directors then in office may determine that appraisal rights apply with respect to OBA capital stock.

 

F.N.B.

 

Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, shareholders have dissenters’ rights in connection with certain mergers, share exchanges, sales or other dispositions of all or substantially all of the property of the corporation other than in the ordinary course of business and amendments of the articles of incorporation that would materially and adversely affect the rights or preferences of the shares held by the dissenting shareholders.

 

Dissenters’ rights generally are not available if the shares are listed on a national securities exchange or if the corporation’s shares are held of record by at least 2,000 persons and such outstanding shares have a market value of at least $10 million, not counting the value of certain insider shares.

Dividends and Distributions

 

OBA

 

Maryland law generally provides that, unless otherwise restricted in a corporation’s charter, a corporation’s board of directors may authorize and a corporation may pay dividends to stockholders. However, a distribution may not be made if, after giving effect thereto:

 

•   the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or

 

•   the total assets of the corporation would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus (unless otherwise provided in its charter) the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution.

 

F.N.B.

 

Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, subject to any restrictions in a corporation’s articles of incorporation, a corporation may make distributions to its shareholders unless, after giving effect thereto:

 

•   the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or

 

•   the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that it would need upon its dissolution to satisfy any preferential rights of shareholders.

 

F.N.B.’s articles of incorporation do not contain any restrictions on the payment of dividends or the making of distributions to holders of its common stock, except restrictions that benefit certain classes or series of preferred stock.

Classes of Stock with Preferential Rights

 

OBA

 

Under OBA’s articles of incorporation, the Board of Directors may provide for the issuance of preferred stock in series and fix the preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of the shares of the series.

 

F.N.B.

 

The articles of incorporation of F.N.B. permit the board of directors to create multiple classes and series of stock having rights and preferences which are senior to or have priority over the F.N.B. common stock. See “Description of F.N.B. Capital Stock—Preferred Stock” for a description of the Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E, of F.N.B. which is currently outstanding.

Director Qualifications, Number and Term

 

OBA

 

The Board of Directors shall consist of nine directors, subject to increase or decrease pursuant to the bylaws. The directors will be divided in three classes, as nearly equal in number as reasonably possible, with the term of office of the first class to expire at the first annual meeting of stockholders, the term of office of the second class to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders one year thereafter, and the term of office of the third class to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders two years thereafter.

 

F.N.B.

•   he or she has committed a criminal offense involving dishonesty and breach of trust which carries a penalty of at least one year in

prison, or has been the subject of a banking agency’s cease and desist order involving dishonesty or breach of trust within the last ten years, or a banking agency or court decision involving a violation of banking, securities, commodities or insurance law or a violation of a final cease and desist order by a banking, securities, commodities or insurance regulatory agency;

•   he or she did not reside within a 75-mile radius of OBA’s home office for at least one year prior to his or her nomination or appointment.

 

Nomination of Directors

 

OBA

 

OBA’s bylaws provide for an advance notice procedure for stockholders to nominate directors or bring other business before an annual meeting of stockholders of OBA. A person may not be nominated for election as a director unless the person is nominated by or at the direction of the OBA Board of Directors or by a stockholder who has given appropriate notice to OBA before the meeting. Similarly, a stockholder may not bring business before an annual meeting unless the stockholder has given OBA appropriate notice of its intention to bring the business before the meeting. OBA’s Secretary must receive notice of the nomination or proposal not less than 80 days nor more than 90 days before the annual meeting; provided, however, that if less than 90 days’ notice of prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to the stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. A stockholder who desires to raise new business must provide certain information to OBA

 

F.N.B.

 

F.N.B.’s bylaws provide that directors may be nominated for election to F.N.B.’s board of directors by either a resolution of the board of directors or by a shareholder of F.N.B. F.N.B.’s bylaws provide that a shareholder must make nominations for director by providing F.N.B. with written notice of the shareholder’s intention to nominate a director. F.N.B. must receive the written notice not less than 90 calendar days nor more than 120 calendar days before the first anniversary of the date on which F.N.B. first mailed its proxy statement to shareholders for its annual meeting of shareholders in the immediately preceding year.

132


Table of Contents
concerning the nature of the new business, the stockholder and the stockholder’s interest in the business matter. Similarly, a stockholder wishing to nominate any person for election as a director must provide OBA with certain information concerning the nominee and the proposing stockholder.  

Removal of Directors; Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors

 

OBA

 

The articles of incorporation of OBA provide that any director may be removed by stockholders only for cause upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors.

 

Under the articles of incorporation and bylaws of OBA, any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors, however caused, may be filled by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the directors then in office, whether or not a quorum is present, and any director so chosen shall hold office only for the balance of the term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred.

 

F.N.B.

 

The Florida Business Corporation Act permits a corporation’s shareholders to remove directors with or without cause. F.N.B.’s articles of incorporation provide that the affirmative vote of 75% of the outstanding shares of F.N.B. common stock is required to remove any director or the entire board of directors without cause. Under the Florida Business Corporation Act and F.N.B.’s bylaws, the remaining directors, even though less than a quorum, may, by majority vote, fill vacancies on the board of directors, including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors or resulting from a removal from office.

Cumulative Voting

 

OBA

 

OBA’s articles of incorporation state that stockholders are not permitted to cumulate their votes in the election of directors.

 

F.N.B.

 

Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, cumulative voting in the election of directors is not available unless a corporation’s articles of incorporation provide for cumulative voting. F.N.B.’s articles of incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

OBA

 

The articles of incorporation of OBA provide that it will indemnify its directors and officers, whether serving it or at its request any other entity, to the fullest extent required or permitted under Maryland law. Such indemnification includes the advancement of expenses. The articles of incorporation of OBA also provide that it will indemnify its employees and agents to such extent as shall be authorized by the Board of Directors and permitted by law.

 

F.N.B.

 

Under its bylaws, F.N.B. shall indemnify any director or officer of F.N.B. or its subsidiaries against expenses, including legal fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, which were actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, investigation or proceeding, whether derivative or nonderivative, and whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that is brought or threatened to be brought against him or her by reason of his or her performance or status as a director or

 

133


Table of Contents
 

officer of F.N.B. or one of its subsidiaries. Before making that indemnity available to a director or officer, F.N.B.’s board of directors is required to determine that the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to the best interests of F.N.B. and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. F.N.B.’s bylaws also provide that F.N.B. shall advance expenses incurred in defending or investigating a threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification by F.N.B.

 

With respect to derivative actions, the Florida Business Corporation Act only permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers up to an amount equal to the estimated expense of litigating the matter to conclusion. Also, indemnification is not available in derivative actions if the director or officer is adjudged to be liable to the corporation in respect of the claim, issue or matter for which the director or officer seeks indemnification.

Director Liability

 

OBA

 

The articles of incorporation of OBA provide that the officers and directors of OBA have no liability to OBA or its stockholders for money damages, except in the following circumstances:

 

•   to the extent it is proved that the officer or director received an improper benefit or profit;

 

•   to the extent an adverse judgment is entered against the officer or director based on a finding that his or her act or failure to act resulted from active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated.

 

F.N.B.

 

Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, a director is not personally liable for monetary damages for any statement, vote, decision or failure to act regarding corporate management or policy, unless the director breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director and the director’s breach of, or failure to perform, those duties constitutes a violation of criminal law, self-dealing, an unlawful distribution, willful misconduct or recklessness. F.N.B.’s bylaws contain a provision limiting the liability of its directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Amendment of Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

OBA

 

The articles of incorporation of OBA may be amended upon approval of at least two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast by holders of the capital stock entitled to vote on the matter. If the amendment has been approved by at least two-thirds of the total number of directors that OBA would have if there were no vacancies, the amendment only needs to be approved by a majority of all votes entitled to be cast by the holders of capital stock entitled to vote on the matter. However, the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote on the election of directors will be required to amend the following provisions:

 

•   Article 12 (amendment of articles of incorporation);

 

•   Section C of Article 5 (Preferred Stock);

 

•   Sections D, E and F of Article 5 (quorum and voting provisions);

 

•   Article 7 (directors);

 

•   Article 8 (amendment of bylaws);

 

•   Article 9 (evaluation of certain offers);

 

•   Articles 10 and 11 (indemnification and limitation of liability).

 

The Board of Directors may amend the articles of incorporation to increase or decrease the number of shares of stock OBA is authorized to issue without stockholder approval as long as the amendment is approved by a majority of the total number of directors OBA would have if there were no vacancies.

 

The bylaws of OBA may be amended by a majority of the total number of directors OBA would have if there were no vacancies. The stockholders also may amend the bylaws by affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors.

 

F.N.B.

 

The Florida Business Corporation Act requires that, unless the articles of incorporation provide for a greater vote, the votes cast in favor of an amendment to the articles of incorporation must exceed the votes cast against the amendment. However, if the proposed amendment would trigger dissenters’ rights under the Florida Business Corporation Act, the amendment must be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast. The Florida Business Corporation Act does not require shareholder approval for certain non-material amendments to the articles of incorporation.

F.N.B.’s bylaws provide that the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the members of F.N.B.’s board of directors or the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the shares entitled to vote is required to alter or amend or adopt new bylaws.

Vote Required for Extraordinary Corporation Transactions

 

OBA

 

Pursuant to the Maryland General Corporation Law, the articles of incorporation of OBA provide that mergers, consolidations, share exchanges and similar transactions must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of all classes outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter. The Maryland General Corporation Law would otherwise require those types of transactions to be approved by two-thirds of all votes entitled to be cast.

 

F.N.B.

 

Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, approval of a merger, consolidation, share exchange, dissolution or sale of all or substantially all of a corporation’s assets other than in the ordinary course of business must receive approval from the board of directors and the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon, unless the corporation’s articles of incorporation require a higher vote. F.N.B.’s articles of incorporation require a supermajority vote of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of F.N.B. common stock to approve a merger, consolidation or sale, lease, exchange or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of all or substantially all or a substantial part of the properties or assets of F.N.B., only if the board of directors of F.N.B. has not approved and recommended the transaction.

The Florida Business Corporation Act provides that shareholder approval of a plan of merger is not required if:

 

•   the articles of incorporation of the surviving corporation will not differ, except for certain minor amendments specified in the Florida Business Corporation Act, from its articles of incorporation before the merger; and

 

•   each shareholder of the surviving corporation whose shares were outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the merger will hold, immediately after the merger, the same number of shares, with identical designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights.

Interested Shareholder Transactions

 

OBA

 

Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, a corporation may not enter into a business combination with any “interested stockholder” or affiliate of an interested stockholder during the five-year period following the most recent date on which the person or entity became an interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person or entity who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting stock of the

 

F.N.B.

 

The Florida Business Corporation Act requires supermajority approval for certain transactions with affiliates. If any person who, together with such person’s affiliates and associates, beneficially owns 10% or more of any voting stock of the corporation (referred to herein as an “interested shareholder”), is a party to any merger, consolidation, disposition of all or a substantial part of the assets of the corporation or a subsidiary of the corporation, or will be issued

 

136


Table of Contents
corporation or any affiliate of the corporation who directly or indirectly was the beneficial owner of ten percent or more of the voting power at any time during the preceding two years. Nevertheless, a corporation may enter into a business combination with an interested stockholder if the transaction is approved by 80 percent of the votes entitled to be cast by the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the matter, voting as a single group, and two-thirds of the voting stock held by all stockholders other than the interested stockholder who is a party to the transaction and its affiliates, voting as a single group.  

securities of the corporation or its subsidiary having an aggregate fair market value of 5% or more of the corporation, that transaction requires approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares, other than the shares beneficially owned by the interested person. However, that approval is not required in certain situations, including the following:

 

•   a majority of the disinterested directors has approved the interested person transaction;

 

•   the corporation has not had more than 300 shareholders of record at any time during the three years preceding the date of the transaction’s announcement;

 

•   the interested person has been the beneficial owner of at least 80% of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares for at least five years preceding the date of the transaction’s announcement;

 

•   the interested person is the beneficial owner of at least 90% of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, exclusive of shares acquired directly from the corporation in a transaction not approved by a majority of the disinterested directors; or

 

•   the consideration that shareholders will receive meets certain minimum levels, as determined by a formula under the Florida Business Corporation Act.

Fiduciary Duty

 

OBA

 

Under Maryland law, a director shall perform his or her duties, including his or her duties as a member of a committee of the board on which he or she serves: in good faith; in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation; and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.

 

In performing his or her duties, a director is entitled to rely on any information, opinion, report, or statement, including any financial statement or other financial data, prepared or presented by:

 

•   An officer or employee of the corporation whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented;

 

•   A lawyer, certified public accountant, or other person, as to a matter which the

 

F.N.B.

 

Under the Florida Business Corporation Act, a director is required to discharge his or her duties in good faith, with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation. In discharging his or her duties, a director is entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, if presented or prepared by:

 

•   officers or employees of the corporation whom the director reasonably believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented;

 

•   legal counsel, public accountants or other persons as to matters the director reasonably believes are within the person’s professional or expert competence; or

Table of Contents

director reasonably believes to be within the person’s professional or expert competence; or

 

•   A committee of the board on which the director does not serve, as to a matter within its designated authority, if the director reasonably believes the committee to merit confidence.

 

A director is not acting in good faith if he or she has any knowledge concerning the matter in question which would cause such reliance to be unwarranted.

 

The articles of incorporation of OBA provide that its Board of Directors, when evaluating a transaction that would or may involve a change in control of OBA (including a tender or exchange offer, merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the

assets of OBA) may, in connection with the exercise of its judgment in determining what is in the best interest of OBA and its stockholders, give consideration to the following factors:

 

•   the economic effect, both immediate and long-term, upon OBA’s stockholders, including stockholders, if any, not to participate in the transaction;

 

•   the social and economic effect on the employees, depositors and customers of, and others dealing with, OBA and its subsidiaries and on the communities in which OBA and its subsidiaries operate or are located;

 

•   whether the proposal is acceptable based on the historical and current operating results or financial condition of OBA;

 

•   whether a more favorable price could be obtained for OBA’s stock or other securities in the future;

 

•   the reputation and business practices of the officer and its management and affiliates as they would affect the employees;

 

•   the future value of the stock or any other securities of OBA;

 

•   any antitrust or other legal and regulatory issues that are raised by the proposal;

 

•   the business and historical, current or expected future financial condition or operating result of the other entity to be involved in the transaction, including but not limited to, debt service and other existing financial obligations, financial obligations to be incurred in connection with the proposed transaction, and other likely financial obligations, financial obligations to be incurred in connection with the proposed

 

 

 

•   a committee of the board of which the director is not a member if the director reasonably believes the committee merits confidence.

 

F.N.B.’s articles of incorporation provide that the board of directors of F.N.B., in evaluating a proposal for an extraordinary corporate transaction, shall consider all relevant factors, including, without limitation, the long-term prospects and interests of F.N.B. and its shareholders, the social, economic, legal or other effects of any action on the employees, suppliers and customers of F.N.B. and its subsidiaries, the communities and societies in which F.N.B. and its subsidiaries operate and the economy of the state and the nation.

transaction, and other likely financial obligations of the other entity to be involved in the proposed transaction; and

 

•   the ability of OBA to fulfill its objectives as a financial institution holding company and the ability of its subsidiary financial institution(s) to fulfill the objectives of a federally-insured financial institution under applicable statutes and regulations.

 

Provisions with Possible Anti-Takeover Effects

 

OBA

 

OBA’s articles of incorporation and bylaws contain various provisions that may serve as anti-takeover protections, which include:

 

•   the ability of OBA’s Board of Directors to fill vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors;

 

•   certain limitations on voting rights of individuals who directly or indirectly beneficially own in excess of ten percent of the then-outstanding shares of common stock of OBA;

 

•   the broad range of factors that OBA’s Board of Directors may consider in evaluating an unsolicited offer including a tender offer proposal; and

 

•   provisions in OBA’s articles of incorporation which authorize OBA’s Board of Directors, without stockholder action, to issue from time to time, up to 50,000,000 shares of OBA preferred stock. The Board of Directors of OBA has the power to divide any and all of the shares of OBA preferred stock into series and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any series so established.

  

F.N.B.

 

F.N.B. is subject to statutory “anti-takeover” provisions under the Florida Business Corporation Act. The Florida Business Corporation Act restricts the voting rights of shares of stock acquired by a party who, by such acquisition, would control at least 20% of all voting rights of the corporation’s issued and outstanding stock. The statute provides that the acquired shares, or the “control shares,” will, upon such acquisition, cease to have any voting rights. The acquiring party may petition the corporation to reassign voting rights to the control shares by way of an “acquiring person’s statement.” Upon receipt of such request, the corporation must submit such request for shareholder approval. A corporation may reassign voting rights to the control shares upon a resolution by a majority of the outstanding shares of each class and series of stock, with the control shares not voting.

 

In addition, F.N.B.’s articles of incorporation and bylaws contain various provisions that may serve as anti-takeover protections, which include:

 

•   the ability of F.N.B.’s board of directors to fill vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors;

 

•   the supermajority voting requirements for certain corporate transactions;

 

•   the broad range of factors that F.N.B.’s board of directors may consider in evaluating an unsolicited offer including a tender offer proposal; and

 

•   provisions in F.N.B.’s articles of incorporation which authorize F.N.B.’s board of directors, without shareholder action, to issue from time to time, up to 20,000,000 shares of F.N.B. preferred stock. The board of directors of F.N.B. has the power to divide any and all of the shares of F.N.B. preferred stock into series and to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any series so established.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

In the event a quorum is present at our special meeting but there are insufficient votes to approve the merger agreement and the merger, the merger proposal will fail unless we adjourn our special meeting in order to solicit additional proxies from our shareholders. An adjournment under such circumstances will allow us extra time to solicit additional proxies. In order to allow shares present in person or by proxy at our special meeting to vote FOR approval of the adjournment of our special meeting, if necessary, we are submitting an adjournment of our special meeting to you as a separate matter for consideration. We will vote properly submitted proxy cards FOR approval of the adjournment proposal, unless otherwise indicated on the proxy. If our shareholders approve the adjournment proposal, we are not required to give any further notice of the time and place of our adjourned meeting other than an announcement of the time and place we provide at our special meeting. The vote required to approve this proposal is the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of voting on this proposal.

If a quorum is not present at the meeting, the meeting will be adjourned to a later time without a vote.

Recommendation of the OBA Board of Directors

The OBA Board of Directors unanimously recommends that OBA shareholders vote FOR approval of the adjournment proposal.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

ADVISORY VOTE REGARDING CERTAIN EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER

In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the Dodd-Frank Act, and pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, OBA is providing its shareholders with an opportunity to cast an advisory vote to approve certain compensation payable to its named executive officers, Charles E. Weller, Shane Hennessy and Gary L. Will, in connection with the proposed merger pursuant to arrangements with OBA or F.N.B. as disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus. OBA is asking its shareholders to adopt the following resolution at the special meeting:

“RESOLVED, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to OBA’s named executive officers in connection with the merger and the agreements or understandings pursuant to which such compensation may be paid or become payable, as disclosed in the table under the caption “The Merger—Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger that are Different from Yours—Severance and other Payments to Certain Persons” in this proxy statement/prospectus in accordance with Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K, including the associated narrative discussion, and the agreements or understandings pursuant to which such compensation may be paid or become payable, is hereby APPROVED.”

The descriptions of the payments contained in the section entitled “The Merger—Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger that are Different from Yours—Severance and other Payments to Certain Persons” are intended to comply with Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K, which requires disclosure of information about compensation of each OBA named executive officer in connection with the merger and that will or may become payable to the named executive officer either by OBA or by F.N.B. OBA is asking its shareholders to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, such compensation to the extent that it is payable by OBA.

Recommendation of the OBA Board of Directors

The vote on this proposal is a vote separate and apart from the vote to approve the merger agreement. You may vote to approve the merger agreement and the merger and vote not to approve this proposal on executive compensation in connection with the proposed merger and vice versa. Because the vote is advisory in nature only, it will not be binding on either OBA or F.N.B. regardless of whether the proposed merger is completed. Accordingly, as the compensation to be paid in connection with the proposed merger is contractual with respect to the named executive officers, regardless of the outcome of this advisory vote, such compensation will be payable, subject only to the conditions applicable thereto, if the proposed merger is completed. The vote required to approve this proposal is the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of voting on this proposal.

The OBA Board of Directors unanimously recommends that OBA shareholders vote FOR the advisory resolution on the compensation that may be received by OBA’s named executive officers in connection with the proposed merger.

Such consolidated financial statements are incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon such reports given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013 and for the year ended June 30, 2013 included in this Prospectus and Proxy Statement have been so included in reliance on the report of BDO USA, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, appearing elsewhere herein, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

OTHER MATTERS

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, neither we nor F.N.B. know of any matter that a shareholder will present for consideration at our special meeting other than approval of the merger agreement and the merger, approval of the adjournment proposal and approval on an advisory (non-binding) basis of the compensation payable to OBA’s named executive officers in connection with the merger. However, if any other matter properly comes before our special meeting or any adjournment or postponement of our special meeting, we will deem all executed proxy cards we receive as conferring discretionary authority on the individuals named as proxies in such proxy cards to vote the shares represented by such proxy cards as to any such matters. The proxies will vote such shares in accordance with their judgment.

We have not authorized any person to give any information or make any representation other than those we or F.N.B. have included in this proxy statement/prospectus or that we or F.N.B. have incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus, and, if given or made, you should not rely upon such information or representation as having been authorized by F.N.B. or us.

The information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus speaks as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus unless we specifically indicate otherwise.

This proxy statement/prospectus is a part of that registration statement and constitutes a prospectus of F.N.B. and our proxy statement for our special meeting.

OBA’S ANNUAL MEETING

OBA will hold its 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders only if the merger is not completed as contemplated by the merger agreement. In order to be eligible for inclusion in OBA’s proxy materials for its 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (in the event it is held), any stockholder proposal to take action at such meeting must be received at OBA’s executive office, 20300 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown, Maryland 20876, no later than June 24, 2014, assuming OBA’s next annual meeting is held on November 21, 2014. If we schedule an annual meeting after November 21, 2014, we will provide notice of the date fixed for the annual meeting, as well as the deadline for submitting stockholder proposals for such meeting and for having such stockholder proposals included in our proxy statement. Any such proposals shall be subject to the requirements of the proxy rules adopted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

OBA’s bylaws provide that, in order for a shareholder to make nominations for the election of directors or proposals for business to be brought before the annual meeting, a shareholder must deliver written notice of such nominations and/or proposals to OBA’s Secretary not earlier than the 90th day nor later than the 80th day prior to date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than 90 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is provided to stockholders, then, to be timely, notice by the stockholder must be so received not later than the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Accordingly, assuming the next annual meeting is held on November 21, 2014, advance written notice for certain business, or nominations to the Board of Directors, to be brought before the meeting must be received by OBA’s Secretary no earlier than August 23, 2014 and no later than September 2, 2014. If notice is received outside of these dates, it will be considered untimely, and OBA will not be required to present the matter at the stockholders meeting. A copy of the bylaws may be obtained from OBA’s Secretary.

OBA Financial Services, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Business

OBA Bank (“Bank”) is a community-oriented banking institution providing a variety of financial services to individuals and small businesses through its offices in Montgomery, Anne Arundel, and Howard Counties, Maryland. Its primary deposits are checking, money market, and time certificate accounts and its primary lending products are commercial mortgage, commercial business, construction, and residential mortgage loans.

In December 2007, the Bank reorganized into a three-tier mutual holding company structure. As part of the reorganization, the Bank converted from a mutual savings bank into a federally chartered stock savings bank and formed OBA Bancorp, Inc., a federally chartered mid-tier stock holding company, and OBA Bancorp, MHC, a federally chartered mutual holding company. The Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of OBA Bancorp, Inc. and OBA Bancorp, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of OBA Bancorp, MHC.

On January 21, 2010, OBA Bancorp, MHC completed its plan of conversion and reorganization from a mutual holding company to a stock holding company. In accordance with the plan, OBA Bancorp, MHC and OBA Bancorp, Inc. ceased to exist and a newly formed stock holding company, OBA Financial Services, Inc. (of which OBA Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary) sold shares of capital stock to eligible depositors of OBA Bank. OBA Financial Services, Inc.’s common stock is quoted on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “OBAF.”

In accordance with applicable regulations at the time of the conversion from a mutual holding company to a stock holding company, the Bank substantially restricted retained earnings by establishing a liquidation account. The liquidation account is maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders who keep their accounts at the Bank after conversion. The liquidation account is reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held. The Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OBA Financial Services Inc. and OBA Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of the SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation are of a normal and recurring nature and have been included.

Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014 or any other interim period. The consolidated financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

In preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through the financial statement issue date. OBA Financial Services, Inc. announced the signing of a

merger agreement between OBA Financial Services, Inc. and F.N.B. Corporation. For further detail regarding the merger agreement, see “Note 10 – Subsequent Events” in the accompanying financial statements.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Statement of Condition and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly sensitive to change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, values related to the share-based incentive plans, and other than temporary impairment of investment securities.

Reclassifications

From time to time, certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements are reclassified to conform with current period presentation. Such reclassifications, if any, have no material impact on consolidated net income or total stockholders’ equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recent accounting pronouncements that have had or are expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements that have not been previously disclosed.

NOTE 2—COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

U.S. GAAP requires that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the stockholders’ equity section of the Consolidated Statement of Condition, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income. The components of accumulated other comprehensive income and related tax effects are as follows:

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of the following:

At March 31, 2014 and at June 30, 2013, all residential mortgage backed securities and their contractual cash flows were guaranteed by FNMA, FHLMC, or GNMA. The Company’s sole trust preferred security is a variable rate pool of trust preferred securities issued by insurance companies or their holding companies. These positions and the related unrealized losses are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The decline in the residential mortgage backed securities has been primarily caused by the movement in market interest rates. The Company has no intent or requirement to sell these securities.

NOTE 4—CREDIT QUALITY OF LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Various Bank policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans and other assets that are considered to be of lesser quality as substandard, doubtful, or loss assets. A loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans include those loans characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans, or portions of loans, classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as a loan is not warranted. Since such loans are written off in full, the Bank will not have any such loans classified as loss at the end of a reporting period. Loans that do not expose the Bank to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve close attention, are required to be designated as Special Mention.

The Bank maintains an allowance for loan losses at an amount estimated to equal all credit losses in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the consolidated statement of condition date. The Bank’s determination as to the classification of loans is subject to review by the Bank’s primary federal regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). The Bank regularly reviews the loan portfolio to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.

Management evaluates the allowance for loan losses based upon the combined total of the specific, general, and unallocated components as discussed below. Generally, when the loan portfolio increases, absent other factors, the allowance for loan loss methodology results in a higher dollar amount of estimated probable losses than would be the case without the increase. Generally, when the loan portfolio decreases, absent other factors, the allowance for loan loss methodology results in a lower dollar amount of estimated probable losses than would be the case without the decrease.

Commercial real estate loans generally have greater credit risk compared to residential mortgage loans, as they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment expectations on loans secured by income-producing properties typically depend on the successful operation of the related business and thus may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy.

Commercial business loans generally have greater credit risk compared to residential mortgage loans, as they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment expectations on commercial business loans typically depend on the successful operation of the related business and thus may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy.

Construction loans generally have greater credit risk compared to residential mortgage loans, as they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment expectations on construction loans typically depend on the successful completion of the project and the operation of the related business and thus may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy.

Generally, the Bank underwrites commercial real estate loans at a loan-to-value ratio of 75% or less and residential mortgage loans at a loan-to-value ratio not exceeding 80%. In the event that a loan becomes past due, management will conduct visual inspections of collateral properties and/or review publicly available information, such as online databases, to estimate property values. The Bank may request a formal third party appraisal for various reasons including, but not limited to, age of previous appraisal, changes in market condition, and changes in borrower’s condition. In addition, changes in the appraised value of properties securing loans can result in an increase or decrease in the general allowance for loan losses as an adjustment to the historical loss experience due to qualitative and environmental factors.

The loan portfolio is evaluated on a quarterly basis and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. While the best information available is used to make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations. In addition, as an integral part of their examination process, the OCC will periodically review the allowance for loan losses. The OCC may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on its analysis of information available at the time of the examination.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when payment of principal or interest is over 90 days delinquent or if collection of principal or interest, in full, is in doubt. When loans are placed on a non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed and further income is recognized only when full repayment of the loan is complete, at which point income is recognized to the extent received, or the loan returns to accrual status. The loan may be returned to accrual status if both principal and interest payments are brought current, there has been a period of sustained performance (generally, six months), and full payment of principal and interest is expected.

The Bank provides for loan losses based upon the consistent application of the documented allowance for loan loss methodology. All loan losses are charged to the allowance for loan losses and all recoveries are credited to the same. Additions to the allowance for loan losses are provided by charges to income based on various factors which, in Management’s judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating probable losses. Management regularly reviews the loan portfolio and makes provisions for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Bank considers residential mortgage loans and home equity loans and lines of credit as small, homogeneous loans, which are evaluated for impairment collectively based on historical loss experience. Commercial real estate and commercial business loans are reviewed individually. Loans are considered impaired if the probability exists that the Bank will be unable to collect contractually obligated principal and interest cash flows. The allowance for loan losses consists primarily of three components:

 

  (1) specific allowances established for impaired loans (as defined by U.S. GAAP). For a non-collateral dependent loan, the amount of impairment, if any, is estimated as the difference between the estimated present value based on Management’s assumptions regarding future cash flows and discounted at the loan’s original yield and the carrying value of the loan. Impaired loans for which the estimated present value of the loan exceeds the carrying value of the loan do not reduce specific allowances;

 

  (2) general allowances established for loan losses on a portfolio basis for loans that do not meet the definition of impaired loans. The portfolio is grouped into similar risk characteristics, primarily loan type. The Bank applies an estimated loss rate to each loan group. The loss rates applied are based upon loss experience adjusted, as appropriate, for the environmental factors discussed below. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revisions based upon changes in economic and real estate market conditions; and

  (3) unallocated allowances established to provide for probable losses that have been incurred as of the reporting date but are not reflected in the allocated allowance.

Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance for loan losses established, which could have a material negative effect on financial results.

The adjustments to historical loss experience are based on Management’s evaluation of several qualitative and environmental factors, including, but not limited to:

 

   

changes in any concentration of credit (including, but not limited to, concentrations by geography, industry, or collateral type);

 

   

changes in the number and amount of non-accrual loans, watch list loans, and past due loans;

 

   

changes in national, state, and local economic trends;

 

   

changes to other external influences including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, peer, and regulatory changes;

 

   

changes in the types of loans in the loan portfolio;

 

   

changes in the experience and ability of personnel and management in the loan origination and loan servicing departments;

 

   

changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans;

 

   

changes in lending strategies; and

 

   

changes in lending policies and procedures.

Generally, the Bank does not forgive principal or interest on loans or modify the interest rate on loans to rates that are below market rates based on the risks associated with the modified loans. Although, loans can be modified to make concessions to help a borrower remain current on the loan and to avoid foreclosure. These troubled debt restructurings include deferrals of interest and/or principal payments and temporary or permanent reductions in interest rates due to financial difficulties of the borrower. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, no loans previously classified as troubled debt restructurings subsequently defaulted.

NOTE 5—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all assets and liabilities, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a sale transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective reporting dates and have not been re-evaluated or updated subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these assets and liabilities subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each reporting date. Accounting guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

 

Level 1:

   Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
 

Level 2:

   Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
 

Level 3:

   Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).

An asset or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Transfers between fair value hierarchy levels are recognized as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

For assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at the dates listed are as follows:

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values included in the above tables are included in the disclosures and tables that follow.

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair values at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013:

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Interest Bearing Deposits with Other Banks (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair value and are classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities Available for Sale (Carried at Fair Value)

The fair values of securities available for sale, excluding trust preferred securities, are determined by matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. Level 2 debt securities are valued by a third-party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry. Level 2 fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution date, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the security’s terms and conditions, among other pieces of information.

The market for pooled trust preferred securities is inactive. A significant widening of the bid/ask spreads in the markets in which these securities trade was followed by a significant decrease in the volume of trades relative to historical levels. The new issue market is also inactive and no new pooled trust preferred securities have been issued since 2007. Since there were limited observable market-based Level 1 and Level 2 inputs for trust preferred securities, the fair value of these securities was estimated using primarily unobservable Level 3 inputs. Fair value estimates for trust preferred securities were based on discounting expected cash flows using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The Company develops the risk-adjusted discount rate by considering the time value of money (risk-free rate) adjusted for an estimated risk premium for bearing the uncertainty in future cash flows and, given current adverse market conditions, a liquidity adjustment based on an estimate of the premium that a market participant would require assuming an orderly transaction. Management determined that sensitivity to inputs is not significant due to the immaterial nature of trust preferred securities as a level 3 asset.

Securities Held to Maturity (Carried at Amortized Cost)

The fair values of securities held to maturity are determined by matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. Level 2 debt securities are valued by a third-party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry. Level 2 fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution date, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the security’s terms and conditions, among other pieces of information.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value and considers the limited marketability of such securities.

Loans Receivable (Generally Carried at Cost)

The fair values of loans (except impaired loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses which use market rates at the statement of condition date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments, and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying amounts. Loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Loans Held for Sale (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amount of Loans Held for Sale approximates fair value and considers secondary market offerings for loans with similar characteristics. Loans Held for Sale are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Impaired Loans (Generally Carried at Fair Value)

Generally, impaired loans are those which the Company has measured impairment based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value of real estate collateral is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, which consider sales prices of similar properties in the proximate vicinity or by discounting expected cash flows from the properties by an appropriate risk adjusted discount rate. Fair value of collateral other than real estate is based on an estimate of the liquidation proceeds. Impaired loans are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The fair value consists of loan balances net of valuation allowances and loan balances on impaired loans in which the loan has been charged-off to its fair value.

Mortgage Servicing Rights (Carried at Lower of Cost or Fair Value)

At origination, the Company estimates the fair value of mortgage servicing rights at 1% of the principal balances of loans sold. The Company amortizes that amount over the estimated period of servicing revenues or charges the entire amount to income upon prepayment of the related loan. Due to the immaterial balance of mortgage servicing rights, the Company did not perform any further analysis or estimate their fair values. Therefore, the Company has disclosed that the carrying amounts of mortgage servicing rights approximate fair value. Mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Management determined that sensitivity to inputs is not significant due to the immaterial nature of the mortgage servicing rights as a Level 3 asset.

Deposit Liabilities (Carried at Cost)

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities. Demand deposits and certificates of deposit are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances (Carried at Cost)

Fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms, and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party. Federal Home Loan Bank Advances are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amounts of securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximate fair value for short-term obligations. The fair values for longer term repurchase agreements are based on current market interest rates for similar transactions. Securities sold under agreement to repurchase are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value. Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Off-Balance-Sheet Credit-Related Instruments (Disclosures at Cost)

Fair values for off-balance-sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of these instruments is not material.

NOTE 6—GUARANTEES

The Company has not issued any guarantees that would require liability recognition or disclosure other than its letters of credit. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Generally, letters of credit, when issued, have expiration dates within one year. The credit risks involved in issuing letters of credit are essentially the same as those that are involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral and/or personal guarantees supporting these commitments. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $1.2 million of outstanding letters of credit. Management believes the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of collateral and the enforcement of guarantees would be sufficient to cover the potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. Management believes the current amount of the liability as of March 31, 2014 for guarantees under letters of credit issued is not material.

NOTE 7—EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) for eligible employees. The ESOP borrowed $3.7 million from the Company and used those funds to acquire 370,300 shares, or 8.0%, of the total number of shares issued by the Company in its initial public offering. The shares were acquired at a price of $10.00 per share.

The loan is secured by the shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP over the 20 year term of the loan with funds from the Bank’s contributions to the ESOP and dividends payable on the stock, if any. The interest rate on the ESOP loan adjusts annually and is the prime rate on the first business day of the calendar year, as published in The Wall Street Journal.

Shares purchased by the ESOP are held by a trustee in an unallocated suspense account and shares are released annually from the suspense account on a pro-rata basis as principal and interest payments are made by the ESOP to the Company. The trustee allocates the shares released among participants on the basis of each

 

F-25


Table of Contents

participant’s proportional share of compensation relative to all participants. Total ESOP shares may be reduced as a result of employees leaving the Company as shares that have previously been released to those exiting employees may be removed from the plan and transferred to that employee. As shares are committed to be released from the suspense account, the Bank reports compensation expense based on the average fair value of shares committed to be released with a corresponding credit to stockholders’ equity. Compensation expense relating to the ESOP recognized for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $257 thousand and $233 thousand, respectively. Compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $84 thousand and $87 thousand, respectively.

NOTE 8—SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

In May 2011, the Company’s stockholders approved the OBA Financial Services, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) which provides for awards of stock options and restricted stock to key officers and outside directors. Compensation expense is based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions for dividend yield, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and option term. These assumptions are based on management’s judgments regarding future events, are subjective in nature, and contain uncertainties inherent in an estimate. The cost of the awards are being recognized on a straight-line basis over the five-year vesting period during which participants are required to provide services in exchange for the awards. A portion of the restricted stock award vesting is contingent upon meeting certain Company-wide performance goals.

Until such time as awards of stock are granted and vest or options are exercised, shares of the Company’s common stock under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued shares. The maximum number of shares authorized under the plan is 648,025. Total share-based compensation expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $712 thousand and $699 thousand, respectively. Total share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $234 thousand and $230 thousand, respectively.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $478 thousand of unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options. The cost of stock options will be amortized in equal annual installments over the five-year vesting period, of which three years remain. There were 56,230 options vested during the nine months ended March 31, 2014. Stock option expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $153 thousand and $148 thousand, respectively. Stock option expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $50 thousand and $49 thousand, respectively.

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards are accounted for as fixed grants using the fair value of the Company’s stock at the time of grant. Unvested restricted stock awards may not be disposed of or transferred during the vesting period. Restricted stock awards carry with them the right to receive dividends.

The vesting of the performance-based stock awards is contingent upon meeting certain Company-wide performance goals. If such goals are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any recognized compensation cost is reversed. Restricted stock expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $559 thousand and $551 thousand, respectively. Restricted stock expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $184 thousand and $181 thousand, respectively.

NOTE 9—EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period exclusive of unallocated ESOP shares and unvested restricted stock. Stock options and unvested restricted stock are regarded as potential common stock and are considered in the diluted earnings per share calculations to the extent they would have a dilutive effect if converted to common stock, computed using the Treasury Stock method. The table below sets forth the dilutive effect of the stock options and unvested restricted shares.

NOTE 10—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 7, 2014, F.N.B. Corporation (“F.N.B.”), the parent company of First National Bank of Pennsylvania, and the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into F.N.B. As a result of the merger, the separate corporate existence of the Company will cease and F.N.B. will continue as the surviving corporation. The merger is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2014, subject to approval of the merger by the Company’s shareholders, receipt of required regulatory and other approvals and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Immediately after the merger is completed, the Bank is to merge with and into First National Bank of Pennsylvania, a national association, with First National Bank of Pennsylvania being the surviving entity. In the merger between the Company and F.N.B., all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock will be cancelled, and holders of the Company’s common stock (excluding F.N.B., the Company and their respective subsidiaries, if applicable) will receive 1.781 shares of F.N.B. common stock for each share of the Company’s common stock they own. The exchange ratio is fixed and the transaction is expected to qualify as a tax-free exchange for shareholders of the Company.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of condition of OBA Financial Services, Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2013 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of OBA Financial Services, Inc. and subsidiary at June 30, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1—Organization and Nature of Operations

In December 2007, OBA Bank (“Bank”) reorganized into a three-tier mutual holding company structure. As part of the reorganization, the Bank converted from a mutual savings bank into a stock savings bank and formed OBA Bancorp, Inc., a federally chartered mid-tier stock holding company, and OBA Bancorp, MHC, a federally chartered mutual holding company. The Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of OBA Bancorp, Inc. and OBA Bancorp, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of OBA Bancorp, MHC.

On January 21, 2010, OBA Bancorp, MHC completed its plan of conversion and reorganization from a mutual holding company to a stock holding company. In accordance with the plan, OBA Bancorp, MHC and OBA Bancorp, Inc. ceased to exist as separate legal entities and a stock holding company, OBA Financial Services, Inc. (of which OBA Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary) sold and issued shares of capital stock to eligible depositors of OBA Bank. A total of 4,628,750 shares were issued in the conversion at $10 per share, raising $46.3 million of gross proceeds. Approximately $1.5 million in stock offering costs were offset against the gross proceeds. OBA Financial Services, Inc.’s common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “OBAF” on January 22, 2010.

In accordance with regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision, the Bank’s previous primary federal regulator at the time of the conversion from a mutual holding company to a stock holding company, the Bank substantially restricted retained earnings by establishing a liquidation account. The liquidation account is maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders who keep their accounts at the Bank after conversion. The liquidation account is reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held. The Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.

The Bank is a community-oriented banking institution providing a variety of financial services to individuals and small businesses through its offices in Montgomery, Anne Arundel, and Howard Counties, Maryland. The Bank’s primary deposits are checking, money market, and time certificate accounts and its primary lending products are commercial real estate, commercial business, and construction loans, as well as, residential mortgage loans.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OBA Financial Services, Inc. and OBA Bank (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Statement of Condition and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly sensitive to change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, other than temporary impairment of investment securities, and the evaluation of deferred tax assets for recoverability.

Table of Contents

Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk

Most of the Company’s activities are with customers located within the Washington/Baltimore metropolitan region. The Securities note contained within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements discusses the types of securities in which the Company has invested. The Credit Quality of Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses note contained within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements discusses the types of lending engaged in by the Company. The Company does not have any significant concentrations in any one industry or customer.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances due from banks and federal funds sold, all of which mature within 90 days. The Company may invest in certain debt securities with original maturities of 90 days or less which are generally used to secure securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Such securities are classified as investments in the accompanying Statements of Condition.

Securities

Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and recorded at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held to maturity including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as available for sale and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income.

When the fair value of a held to maturity or available for sale security is less than its amortized cost basis, an assessment is made at the statement of financial condition date as to whether other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is present.

The Company considers numerous factors when determining whether a potential OTTI exists and the period over which the debt security is expected to recover. The principal factors considered are the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer (and guarantor, if any) and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, industry or geographic area, the failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and the presence of credit enhancements, if any, including the guarantee of the federal government or any of its agencies.

For debt securities, OTTI is considered to have occurred if the Company intends to sell the security, it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or if the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. In determining the present value of expected cash flows, the Company discounts the expected cash flows at the effective interest rate implicit in the security at the date of acquisition or, for debt securities that are beneficial interests in securitized financial assets, at the current rate used to accrete the beneficial interest. In estimating cash flows expected to be collected, the Company uses available information with respect to security prepayment speeds, expected default rates and severity, whether subordinated interests, if any, are capable of absorbing estimated losses and the value of any underlying collateral.

In determining whether OTTI has occurred for equity securities, the Company considers the applicable factors described above and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

For debt securities, credit related OTTI is recognized in income while non-credit related OTTI on securities not expected to be sold is recognized in other comprehensive income / (loss) (“OCI”). Credit related OTTI is measured as the difference between the present value of an impaired security’s expected cash flows and its

amortized cost basis. Non-credit related OTTI is measured as the difference between the fair value of the security and its amortized cost less any credit related losses recognized. For securities classified as held to maturity, the amount of OTTI recognized in OCI is accreted to the credit-adjusted expected cash flow amounts of the securities over future periods. For equity securities, the entire amount of OTTI is recognized in income.

Interest and dividend income is recognized when earned. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Federal law requires a member institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank to hold stock of its district FHLB according to a defined formula. FHLB stock represents the required investment in the common stock of the FHLB and is carried at cost. FHLB stock ownership is restricted and the stock can be sold only to the FHLB or to another member institution at its par value per share.

The Company evaluates the FHLB stock for impairment. The Company’s determination of whether this investment is impaired is based on an assessment of the ultimate recoverability of its cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline in value affects the ultimate recoverability of its cost is influenced by criteria such as, but not limited to, the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, and the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB.

For additional information, see the Federal Home Loan Bank stock note in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale are stated at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Net fees and costs of originating loans held for sale are deferred and are included in the basis for determining the gain or loss on sales of loans. There were $414 thousand of loans held for sale at June 30, 2013 and no loans held for sale at June 30, 2012.

Loans Receivable

The Company originates commercial real estate, commercial business, and construction loans, residential mortgage loans, and consumer loans. All loans are originated in the Company’s primary business area, the Washington/Baltimore metropolitan region. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate market and general economic conditions in this area.

Loans that the Company has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances net of the allowance for loan losses, and net deferred costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance as earned. Direct loan origination costs, net of certain origination fees, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method over the contractual term of the loan, adjusted for actual prepayments. Net unamortized costs on loans paid in full are recognized as a component of interest income.

The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due. Consumer loans are typically charged-off no later than 180 days past due. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

 

F-38


Table of Contents

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method until the loan returns to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to income based on estimated losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis and is based upon periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific, general, and unallocated components. Specific allowances are established for impaired loans. The amount of impairment provided for as a specific allowance is represented by the deficiency, if any, between the estimated fair value of the loan based on the expected cash flows, the loan’s observable market price, if any, or the underlying collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent, and the carrying value of the loan. Impaired loans for which the estimated fair value of the loan exceeds the carrying value of the loan do not require a specific allowance.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. The Company determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loans obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Generally, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures unless the loan has been subject to a troubled debt restructure.

General allowances are established for loan losses on a portfolio basis for loans that do not meet the definition of impaired. The portfolio is grouped into similar risk characteristics, primarily loan type. The Company applies an estimated loss rate to each loan group. The loss rates applied are based upon its loss experience adjusted, as appropriate, for environmental factors.

The unallocated component represents the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in estimating specific and general allowances.

The Company maintains the allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate to provide for losses inherent in the loan portfolio. While the Company utilizes available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly in the Washington/Baltimore region including surrounding counties in the states of Maryland and Virginia. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the

 

F-39


Table of Contents

Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance for loan losses the Company has established, which could have a material negative effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Servicing

Servicing assets are recognized when rights are acquired through sale of financial assets. For sales of mortgage loans, a portion of the cost of originating the loan is allocated to the servicing right based on relative fair value. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income. Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans.

Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost.

Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal; or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Real Estate Owned

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosures are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by the Company and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net gains/losses from foreclosed assets.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Buildings, leasehold improvements, and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the expected terms of the leases, if shorter. Expected terms include lease option periods to the extent that the exercise of such options is reasonably assured. Estimated useful lives are 20 to 40 years for buildings, 5 to 10 years for leasehold improvements and 5 years for equipment.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

The Company adopted a common stock repurchase program in which shares repurchased reduce the amount of shares issued and outstanding. The repurchased shares may be reissued in connection with share-based compensations plans and for general corporate purposes. Under this plan, the Company approved the repurchase of a specific amount of shares without any specific expiration date. Total shares subject to repurchase under the current share repurchase program is 210,377 shares.

 

F-40


Table of Contents

Share-based Compensation

The Company accounts for its Share-based compensation awards in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, which requires public companies to recognize compensation expense related to Share-based compensation awards in their statements of income. Compensation expense is equal to the fair value of the Share-based compensation awards on the date of the grant and is recognized over the vesting period of such awards. More information is provided in the “Share Based Compensation” note in the notes of the consolidated financial statements.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The Company invests in bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) as a source of funding for employee benefit expenses. BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Company on a chosen group of employees. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the life insurance policies, and as such, the investment is carried at the cash surrender value of the underlying policies. Income from the increase in cash surrender value of the policies is included in non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, advertising expense was $129 thousand and $175 thousand, respectively.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The liability method gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

OBA Financial Services, Inc. has entered into a tax sharing agreement with OBA Bank. The agreement provides that OBA Financial Services, Inc. will file a consolidated federal tax return and that the tax liability shall be apportioned among the entities as would be computed if each entity had filed a separate return. According to Maryland tax law, OBA Financial Services, Inc. and OBA Bank file separate Maryland state tax returns.

Comprehensive Income

U.S. GAAP requires that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated statement of condition, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2012 financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2013 presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income.

Note 3—Restrictions on Cash and Amounts Due From Banks

The Company is required to maintain average reserve balances on hand or with the Federal Reserve Bank. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, these reserve balances amounted to $5.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively.

Note 4—Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The FHLB, during the years ended 2008, 2009, and 2010, experienced higher levels of OTTI in its investment portfolio, primarily on private label mortgage-backed securities, which had adversely impacted its operating results and capital and raised concerns about whether its capital levels could be reduced below regulatory requirements.

As of June 30, 2013, the FHLB was in compliance with all of its regulatory capital requirements. The Company believes the FHLB’s operating results and capital levels will continue to improve as conditions in the housing industry and economy improve. In addition, the Company believes that the FHLB has met all payment commitments required by law or regulation and that there has been no significant legislative and regulatory changes impacting its customer base.

The Company has the intent and ability to hold the FHLB stock for the amount of time necessary to recover its investment and, based on its evaluation, there was no impairment recorded on FHLB stock in 2013 or 2012.

At June 30, 2013, the Company’s sole trust preferred security is a variable rate pool of trust preferred securities issued by insurance companies or their holding companies. This position and the related unrealized loss in the trust preferred security is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The decline in the fair value of this security has been caused by collateral deterioration due to failures and credit concerns across the financial services sector, the widening of credit spreads for asset-backed securities, and general illiquidity and, as a result, inactivity in the market for these securities. The unrealized loss in the table above was not recognized in income as the Company believes the present value of expected cash flows is sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the trust preferred security. The decline in the fair value of the Company’s residential mortgage-backed securities and resultant unrealized loss at June 30, 2013 is the result of an increase in market rates of interest. The unrealized loss in the table above was not recognized in income as the Company believes the present value of expected cash flows is sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the residential mortgage-backed securities.

Table of Contents

Various Company policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans and other assets that are considered to be of lesser quality as substandard, doubtful, or loss assets. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those assets characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Assets, or portions of assets, classified as losses are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as an asset is not warranted. Assets that do not expose the Company to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve close attention, are designated as Special Mention.

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses at an amount estimated to equal all credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the statement of condition date. The Company’s determination as to the classification of assets is subject to review by the Company’s principal federal regulator. The Company regularly reviews the loan portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.

Management evaluates the allowance for loan losses based upon the combined total of the specific, general, and unallocated components as discussed below. Generally, when the loan portfolio increases, absent other factors, the allowance for loan loss methodology results in a higher dollar amount of estimated probable losses than would be the case without the increase. Generally, when the loan portfolio decreases, absent other factors, the allowance for loan loss methodology results in a lower dollar amount of estimated probable losses than would be the case without the decrease.

Commercial real estate loans generally have greater credit risks compared to residential mortgage loans, as they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment experience on loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the related business and thus may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy.

Commercial business loans generally have greater credit risks compared to residential mortgage loans, as they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment experience on commercial business loans typically depends on the successful operation of the related business and thus may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy.

Generally, the Company underwrites commercial real estate loans at a loan-to-value ratio of 75% or less and residential real estate loans are underwritten at a loan-to-value ratio not exceeding 80%. In the event that a loan becomes past due, management will conduct visual inspections of collateral properties and/or review publicly available information, such as online databases, to ascertain property values. The Company may request a formal third party appraisal for various reasons including, but not limited to, age of previous appraisal, changes in market condition, and changes in borrower’s financial condition. For loans initially determined to be impaired loans, the Company utilizes the ascertained or appraised property value in determining the appropriate specific allowance for loan losses attributable to a loan. In addition, changes in the appraised value of properties securing specific loans can result in an increase or decrease in the general allowance for loan losses as an adjustment to the historical loss experience due to qualitative and environmental factors.

The loan portfolio is evaluated on a quarterly basis and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. While the best information available is used to make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations. In addition, as an integral

part of their examination process, the OCC will periodically review the allowance for loan losses. The OCC may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their analysis of information available to them at the time of their examination.

The Company had no loans greater than 90 days past due on which interest was still accruing as of June 30, 2013 and 2012. Interest recognized using the cash basis on nonaccrual loans during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $2 thousand and $338 thousand, respectively. Interest of $33 thousand and $108 thousand was not recognized as interest income due to non-accrual status of loans during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, exclusive of loans with interest recovered from prior periods.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Bank changed its methodology for calculating the allowance for loan losses. In accordance with U.S. GAAP the change in methodology constitutes a change in accounting estimate and accordingly, has been accounted for on a prospective basis. In an effort to more precisely calculate the allowance for loan losses, the Company began including its own historical loan losses along with estimated industry loss percentages based on loan risk ratings. Due to the limited loss history of the Company, the inclusion of its historical losses did not have a material impact on the allowance for loan loss calculation. The primary impact of this change was on the allowance for loan losses at the loan portfolio class level.

A summary analysis of the allowance for loan losses follows:

Table of Contents

The Company may grant a concession or modification for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial condition that it would not otherwise consider resulting in a modified loan which is then identified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). The Company may modify loans through rate reductions, extensions of maturity, interest only payments, or payment modifications to better match the timing of cash flows due under the modified terms with the cash flows from the borrowers’ operations. Loan modifications are intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. TDRs are considered impaired loans for purposes of calculating the Company’s allowance for loan losses.

The Company identifies loans for potential restructure primarily through direct communications with the borrower and evaluation of the borrower’s financial statements, revenue projections, tax returns, and credit reports. Even if the borrower is not presently in default, management will consider the likelihood that cash flow shortages, adverse economic conditions, and negative trends may result in payment default in the future.

The following table reflects information regarding the Company’s TDRs for the periods indicated below:

Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying statement of condition. The unpaid principal balances of loans serviced for others were $7.9 million and $11.5 million at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Loan servicing fees decreased during the year ended June 30, 2013 as the Company accelerated the amortization of servicing rights due to the repayment of underlying residential mortgages. Advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance related to loans serviced for others amounted to $259 thousand and $354 thousand, respectively, at June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Table of Contents

In assessing whether the Company will be able to realize the deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, the Company believes it is more likely than not the benefits of these deductible differences will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are reduced. There was no valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2013 and 2012.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties associated with tax liabilities would be classified as additional income taxes in the consolidated statement of income. As of June 30, 2013, tax years ended June 30, 2010 through June 30, 2013 remain open and are subject to Federal and State taxing authority examination.

Note 13—Off Balance Sheet Activities

The Company is a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to grant loans, unfunded commitments under lines of credit and letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the statement of condition.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

The following financial instruments were outstanding whose contractual amounts represent credit risk:

Total

   $ 74,478       $ 67,501   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Fixed and variable rate commitments to grant loans were $17.5 million and $16.5 million, respectively, at June 30, 2013.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, is based on Management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral consists primarily of real estate.

Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements and similar transactions. The terms of the letters of credit vary and may have renewal features. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to

Table of Contents

customers. The Company holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of such collateral would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees. The current amount of the liability at June 30, 2013 and 2012 for guarantees under letters of credit issued is not material.

The Company has not been required to perform on any financial guarantees and has not incurred any losses on its commitments, during the past two years.

Note 14—Legal Contingencies

Various legal claims arise from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of Management, will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 15—Regulatory Matters and Capital Requirements

Federal banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid to OBA Financial Services, Inc. by the Bank, and loans or advances made by the Bank to OBA Financial Services, Inc. The total amount of dividends which may be paid at any date is generally limited to retained net income of the Bank for the current and preceding two years. Loans and advances are limited to 10% of the Bank’s capital and surplus on a secured basis.

Based on the Bank’s retained net income, at June 30, 2013, the Bank’s retained earnings available for the payment of dividends was $2.3 million. Funds available for loans or advances amounted to approximately $6.6 million at June 30, 2013.

In addition, the payment of dividends by the Bank would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below minimum capital requirements or if the dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount previously discussed in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies note contained within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

OBA Financial Services, Inc. ability to pay dividends generally is dependent on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to OBA Financial Services, Inc.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier I capital to risk weighted assets, core capital to adjusted tangible assets and tangible capital to tangible assets. Management believes, as of June 30, 2013, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2013, the most recent notification from the Bank’s regulators categorized the Bank as Well Capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios at the dates listed are presented in the table below.

During the year ended June 30, 2013, there were principal additions of $65 thousand and total principal payments of $100 thousand.

Deposits from related parties held by the Company at June 30, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $703 thousand and $686 thousand, respectively.

Note 17—Fair Value

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all assets and liabilities, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have

 

F-57


Table of Contents

realized in a sale transaction on the dates indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year-ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these assets and liabilities subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported at each year-end. A fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation methods is used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

 

Level 1:

   Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
 

Level 2:

   Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
 

Level 3:

   Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at the dates listed are as follows:

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values included in the above tables are included in the disclosures that follow.

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Company’s disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of certain Company assets and liabilities at June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Cash and Cash Equivalents (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair value.

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Banks (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amounts of interest-bearing deposits approximate fair value based on the short term nature of the assets.

Securities Available for Sale (Carried at Fair Value)

The fair values of securities available for sale, excluding trust preferred securities, are determined by matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the security’s terms and conditions, among other things.

The market for pooled trust preferred securities is inactive. A significant widening of the bid/ask spreads in the markets in which these securities trade was followed by a significant decrease in the volume of trades relative to historical levels. The new issue market is also inactive and no new pooled trust preferred securities have been issued since 2007. Since there were limited observable market-based Level 1 and Level 2 inputs for trust preferred securities, the fair value of these securities was estimated using primarily unobservable Level 3 inputs. Fair value estimates for trust preferred securities were based on discounting expected cash flows using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The Company develops the risk-adjusted discount rate by considering the time value of money (risk-free rate) adjusted for an estimated risk premium for bearing the uncertainty in future cash flows and, given current adverse market conditions, a liquidity adjustment based on an estimate of the premium that a market participant would require assuming an orderly transaction.

Securities Held to Maturity (Carried at Amortized Cost)

The fair values of securities held to maturity are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing as described above (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amount of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities.

Loans Receivable (Generally carried at Cost)

The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the statement of condition date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.

Loans Held for Sale (Carried at lower of cost or market)

The fair values of loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market rates at the statement of condition date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Net fees and costs of originating loans held for sale are deferred and are included in the basis for determining the gain or loss on sales of loans held for sale.

Impaired Loans (Generally Carried at Fair Value)

Impaired loans are those which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value of real estate collateral is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, which consider sales prices of similar properties in the proximate vicinity or by discounting expected cash flows from the properties by an appropriate risk adjusted discount rate. Fair value of collateral other than real estate is based on an estimate of the liquidation proceeds. Impaired loans are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The fair value consist of loan balances net of valuation allowances and loan balances on impaired loans in which the loan has been charged-off to its fair value.

Foreclosed Assets (Carried at Lower of Cost or Fair Value Less Estimated Selling Costs)

Fair values of foreclosed assets are based on independent third party appraisals of the properties or discounted cash flows based upon the expected sales proceeds upon disposition of the assets. These values were generally determined based on the sales prices of similar properties in the proximate vicinity. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Mortgage Servicing Rights (Carried at Lower of Cost or Fair Value)

At origination, the Company estimates the fair value of mortgage servicing rights at 1% of the principal balances of loans sold and amortizes that amount over the estimated period of servicing revenues or charges the entire amount to income upon prepayment of the related loan. Due to the small size of the balance of mortgage servicing rights at June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of mortgage servicing rights approximate fair value.

Deposit Liabilities (Carried at Cost)

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances (Carried at Cost)

Fair values of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amounts of securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximate fair value for short-term obligations. The fair values for longer term repurchase agreements are based on current market interest rates for similar transactions.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable (Carried at Cost)

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

 

F-61


Table of Contents

Off-Balance-Sheet Credit-Related Instruments (Disclosures at Cost)

Fair values for off-balance-sheet financial instruments (lending commitments and letters of credit) are based on fees currently charged in the market to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of these instruments is not material.

Note 18—Employee Benefit Plan

The Company has a 401(k) Plan in which substantially all employees participate. Employees may contribute up to 15% of their compensation subject to certain limits based on federal tax laws. The Company makes matching contributions equal to 3% of all eligible employees’ compensation under the Plan’s safe harbor provisions. The Company may also make additional discretionary contributions up to 15% of an employee’s annual compensation. Company contributions vest to the employee over a five-year period. Company contributions are reduced by any forfeitures. For the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, expense attributable to the Plan amounted to $128 thousand and $128 thousand, respectively.

Note 19—Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) for eligible employees. The ESOP borrowed $3.7 million from the Company and used those funds to acquire 370,300 shares or 8% of the total number of shares issued by the Company in its initial public offering. The shares were acquired at a price of $10.00 per share.

The loan is secured by the shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP over the 20-year term of the loan with funds from OBA Bank’s contributions to the ESOP and dividends payable on stock, if any. The interest rate on the ESOP loan adjusts annually and is the prime rate on the first business day of the calendar year, as published in The Wall Street Journal.

Shares purchased by the ESOP are held by a trustee in an unallocated suspense account and shares are released annually from the suspense account on a pro-rata basis as principal and interest payments are made by the ESOP to the Company. The trustee allocates the shares released among participants on the basis of each participant’s proportional share of compensation relative to all participants. Total ESOP shares may be reduced as a result of employees leaving the Company; shares that have previously been released to those exiting employees may be removed from the plan and transferred to that employee. As shares are committed to be released from the suspense account, the Bank reports compensation expense based on the average fair value of shares committed to be released with a corresponding credit to stockholders’ equity. Compensation expense recognized for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $319 thousand and $268 thousand, respectively.

Shares held by the ESOP trust at the dates listed were as follows:

NOTE 20—Share Based Compensation

In May 2011, the Company’s stockholders approved the OBA Financial Services, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) which provides for awards of stock options and restricted stock to key officers and outside directors. The cost of the Plan is based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions for dividend yield, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and option term. These assumptions are based on Management’s

 

F-64


Table of Contents

judgments regarding future events, are subjective in nature, and contain uncertainties inherent in an estimate. The cost of the awards are being recognized on a straight-line basis over the five-year vesting period during which participants are required to provide services in exchange for the awards. A portion of the restricted stock award vesting is contingent upon meeting certain company-wide performance goals.

Until such time as awards of stock are granted and vest or options are exercised, shares of the Company’s common stock under the Plan are authorized but unissued shares. The maximum number of shares authorized under the plan is 648,025. Total share-based compensation expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $937 thousand and $860 thousand, respectively.

At June 30, 2013, the Company had $631 thousand of unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options. The cost of stock options is amortized in equal annual installments over the five-year vesting period. There were 54 thousand options vested in the twelve months ended June 30, 2013. Stock option expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013 was $199 thousand. The aggregate grant date fair value of the stock options was $1.0 million. Aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options at June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $993 thousand and zero, respectively.

The fair value of the Company’s stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. The following ranges of assumptions were used in the formula:

 

Expected volatility

     19.09     –           52.59

Risk-free interest rate

     1.10     –           2.11

Expected dividends

     1.62     –           2.08

Expected life (in years)

     6.50        –           6.50   

Exercise price for the stock options

   $ 14.35        –         $ 18.75   

Grant date fair value for the stock options

   $ 3.40        –         $ 7.63   

Expected volatility—Based on the historical volatility of a peer group of comparable banks as contained in the Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. Regional Bank Index (KRX) at the time of grant. Due to the recent initial public offering and issuance of the Company’s common stock, the Company’s shares are not actively traded and its volatility is not reflective of an actively traded institution. Therefore, the Company estimates that the expected volatility will equal the peer group of comparable banks’ volatility over the expected life of the options at the time of grant.

 

F-65


Table of Contents

Risk-free interest rate—Based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve and expected life of the options at the time of grant.

Expected dividend yield—Based on the Company’s peer group of comparable banks, as contained in the Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. Regional Bank Index (KRX). The Company currently does not pay a dividend; therefore, the expected dividend yield was weighted for the portion of the life of the options that the Company expects to pay a dividend. The Company estimates that the expected dividend yield will equal the peer group of comparable banks’ dividend yield over the expected life of the options at the time of grant.

Expected life—Based on a weighted-average of the five year vesting period and the ten year contractual term of the stock option plan.

Exercise price for the stock options—Based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards are accounted for as fixed grants using the fair value of the Company’s stock at the time of grant. Unvested restricted stock awards may not be disposed of or transferred during the vesting period. Restricted stock awards carry with them the right to receive dividends.

At June 30, 2013, the Company had $2.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards. The cost of the restricted stock awards will be amortized in equal annual installments over the five-year vesting period. The vesting of the performance-based stock awards is contingent upon meeting certain company-wide performance goals. If such goals are not met, no compensation cost is recognized and any recognized compensation cost is reversed. Restricted stock expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $738 thousand and $681 thousand, respectively.

Note 21—Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period exclusive of unallocated ESOP shares. Stock options are regarded as potential common stock and are considered in the diluted earnings per share calculations to the extent they would have a dilutive effect if converted to common stock, computed using the Treasury Stock method. The table below sets forth the dilutive effect of the stock options.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of April 7, 2014 (this “Agreement”), between F.N.B. CORPORATION, a Florida corporation (“FNB”), and OBA FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., a Maryland corporation (“OBA”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of OBA and FNB have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies and their shareholders to consummate the strategic business combination transaction provided for in this Agreement pursuant to which OBA will, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, merge with and into FNB (the “Merger”), so that FNB is the surviving company in the Merger (sometimes referred to in such capacity as the “Surviving Company”); and

WHEREAS, for federal income Tax (as defined in Section 3.10(b)) purposes, it is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations of the U.S. Department of the Treasury promulgated thereunder (as such regulations may be amended from time to time, including corresponding provisions of successor rules and regulations thereto, the “Treasury Regulations”); and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions to the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the Maryland General Corporation Law, as amended (the “MGCL”), and the Florida Business Corporation Act, as amended (the “FBCA”), at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2) OBA shall merge with and into FNB. FNB shall be the Surviving Company in the Merger, and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Florida. As of the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of OBA shall cease.

1.2 Effective Time.

The Merger shall become effective as set forth in the respective articles of merger (each, the “Articles of Merger”) that shall be filed with the Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland and the Secretary of State of the State of Florida on or before the Closing Date (as defined in Section 9.1). The term “Effective Time” shall mean the date and time when the Merger becomes effective as set forth in the Articles of Merger. “Effective Date” shall mean the date on which the Effective Time occurs.

1.3 Effects of the Merger.

(a) Effects Under MGCL and FBCA. At and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 3-114 of the MGCL and Section 607.1106 of the FBCA.

 

A-1


Table of Contents

(b) Directors and Executive Officers of the Surviving Company. The directors of the Surviving Company immediately after the Merger shall be the directors of FNB immediately prior to the Merger. The executive officers of the Surviving Company immediately after the Merger shall be the executive officers of FNB immediately prior to the Merger.

1.4 Conversion of OBA Common Stock.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of OBA (“OBA Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Treasury Shares (as defined in Section 1.4(b)) shall, by virtue of the Merger, no longer be outstanding and shall as of the Effective Time automatically be converted into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive as merger consideration 1.781 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of common stock, $0.01 par value, of FNB (“FNB Common Stock”) (the “Merger Consideration”).

(b) At and after the Effective Time, each Treasury Share shall be cancelled and retired and no shares of FNB Common Stock or other consideration shall be issued in exchange therefor. “Treasury Shares” means the shares of OBA Common Stock held by OBA or any of the OBA Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 3.1(d)) or by FNB or any of its Subsidiaries, other than in a fiduciary, including custodial or agency, capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted in good faith.

(c) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of OBA shall be closed as to holders of OBA Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and no transfer of OBA Common Stock by any such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized other than to settle transfers that occurred prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, certificates representing shares of OBA Common Stock (“Certificates”) are properly presented pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of this Agreement to the Exchange Agent (as defined in Section 2.1), such Certificates shall be cancelled and exchanged for FNB Common Stock held in book entry representing the number of whole shares into which the OBA Common Stock represented by the Certificates was converted in the Merger, plus, if applicable pursuant to Section 1.4(e), any payment for any fractional share of FNB Common Stock without any interest thereon and any dividends or distributions to which the holder of such Certificates is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(b).

(d) Each holder of OBA Common Stock shall have the option of enrolling the whole shares of FNB Common Stock issuable to such shareholder upon the consummation of the Merger in FNB’s Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (the “DRSP Plan”), as long as such shareholder enrolls with a minimum of 50 whole shares of FNB Common Stock.

Notwithstanding clauses (iii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence, each OBA Stock Option that is an “incentive stock option” shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the option within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code.

ARTICLE 2

EXCHANGE OF SHARES

2.1 FNB to Make Merger Consideration Available. At or promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, FNB shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with Registrar and Transfer Company, as exchange agent (“Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Certificates, for exchange in accordance with this Article 2, (i) book entry shares representing the aggregate number of shares of FNB Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement in exchange for the shares of OBA Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, (ii) immediately available funds equal to any dividends or distributions payable in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(i), and (iii) cash in lieu of any fractional shares of FNB Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.4(e) and paid pursuant to Section 1.4 in exchange for outstanding shares of OBA Common Stock (such cash and book entry shares for shares of FNB Common Stock, collectively being referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

2.2 Exchange Shares.

(a) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, but in any event no later than seven (7) Business Days following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of OBA Common Stock a letter of transmittal in customary form as prepared by FNB and reasonably acceptable to OBA which shall specify, among other things, that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the shares of OBA Common Stock represented by such Certificate or Certificates shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(b). After the Effective Time of the Merger, each holder of a Certificate formerly representing shares of OBA Common Stock, other than Treasury Shares, who surrenders or has surrendered such

 

A-4


Table of Contents

Certificate or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such Certificate, together with duly executed transmittal materials to the Exchange Agent, shall, upon acceptance thereof, be entitled to: (i) book entry shares representing FNB Common Stock into which the shares of OBA Common Stock shall have been converted pursuant to Section 1.4, (ii) any cash in lieu of any fractional share of FNB Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled and (iii) any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(b). The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificate upon compliance with such reasonable and customary terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal practices. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate representing shares of OBA Common Stock shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time of the Merger to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares into which the shares of OBA Common Stock represented by such Certificate or Certificates shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement, and any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(b). FNB shall not be obligated to deliver the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and/or any declared but unpaid dividends to which any former holder of shares of OBA Common Stock is entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders his Certificate or Certificates for exchange as provided in this Section 2.2. If any shares of FNB Common Stock, or any cash in lieu of fractional shares and/or declared but unpaid dividends, are to be issued in a name other than that in which a Certificate surrendered for exchange is issued, the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such exchange shall affix any requisite stock transfer tax stamps to the Certificate surrendered or provide funds for their purchase or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such taxes are not payable. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to FNB, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by FNB or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as FNB and the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it, FNB or the Surviving Company with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the whole shares of FNB Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any dividends or distributions, if any, with a record date prior to the Effective Time that have been declared by OBA in respect of shares of OBA Common Stock after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time, (ii) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of FNB Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.4(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time of the Merger and which had become payable with respect to such whole shares of FNB Common Stock prior to the time of surrender, and (iii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time of the Merger but prior to surrender and a payment date subsequent to surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of FNB Common Stock.

(c) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of OBA of the shares of OBA Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than to settle transfers of shares of OBA Common Stock that occurred prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to FNB for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement. All shares of FNB Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares of FNB Common Stock and/or declared but unpaid dividends issued or paid upon the surrender for exchange of shares of OBA Common Stock (or the provision of customary affidavits and indemnification for lost or mutilated Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof) and the letter of transmittal, shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of OBA Common Stock.

(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund, including any interest thereon, that remains undistributed to the shareholders of OBA following the passage of twelve (12) months after the Effective Time of the Merger

 

A-5

shall be delivered to FNB, upon demand, and any shareholders of OBA who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.2 shall thereafter look only to FNB for payment of their claim for FNB Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of FNB Common Stock and any unpaid dividends or distributions payable in accordance with Section 2.2(b).

(e) Neither OBA nor FNB shall be liable to any holder of shares of OBA Common Stock or FNB Common Stock, as the case may be, for such shares, any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, or cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(f) The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to the shares of FNB Common Stock held by it from time to time hereunder, except that it shall receive and hold all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with respect to such shares of FNB Common Stock for the account of the Persons entitled thereto.

2.3 Adjustments for Dilution and Other Matters. If prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, (a) FNB shall declare a stock dividend or distribution on FNB Common Stock with a record date prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, or subdivide, split up, reclassify or combine FNB Common Stock, or make a distribution other than a regular quarterly cash dividend, on FNB Common Stock in any security convertible into FNB Common Stock, in each case with a record date prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, or (b) the outstanding shares of FNB Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities in each case as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in FNB’s capitalization, other than a transaction in which FNB shall have received fair, as determined by its Board of Directors, consideration for the shares issued, then a proportionate adjustment or adjustments will be made to the Exchange Ratio and, as applicable, the Average Closing Price, which adjustment may include, as appropriate, the issuance of securities, property or cash on the same basis as that on which any of the foregoing shall have been issued, distributed or paid to holders of such class of FNB Common Stock generally.

2.4 Withholding Rights. The Exchange Agent or, subsequent to the first anniversary of the Effective Time, FNB, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any cash in lieu of fractional shares of FNB Common Stock, cash dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(b) and any other cash amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of OBA Common Stock such amounts as the Exchange Agent or FNB, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent the amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent or FNB, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of OBA Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent or FNB, as the case may be.

No payment pursuant to any arrangement between OBA, any of the OBA Subsidiaries and any “service provider” (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) would subject any person to a tax pursuant to 409A of the Code, whether pursuant to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise.

3.25 Mortgage Business. The representations and warranties in this Section 3.25 relate specifically to the Mortgage Business of OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries and are in addition to and not in limitation of any other representations in this Article 3.

(a) General.

(i) Recourse. None of the Mortgage Loans or Servicing Agreements provides for Recourse to OBA or any OBA Subsidiary.

(ii) Advances. The Advances are valid and subsisting amounts owing to OBA or an OBA Subsidiary, were made in accordance with all applicable Laws and are carried on the books of OBA at values determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not subject to setoffs or claims arising from acts or omissions of OBA or any OBA Subsidiary. No Investor has claimed or, to the knowledge of OBA, threatened any defense, offset or counterclaim for repayment of any Advance that is pending.

(b) Mortgage Loans. Except as set forth on Section 3.25(b) of the OBA Disclosure Schedule:

(i) Investor/Insurer Requirements. Each Mortgage Loan was originated and conforms in all material respects to all applicable Laws and each Loan Held for Sale and each Pipeline Loan (other than those Pipeline Loans that are not being originated for sale) is eligible for sale to, insurance by, or pooling to back or secure as collateral securities issued or guaranteed by the applicable Investor or Insurer program under which OBA or any OBA Subsidiary originated the Loan Held for Sale and/or Pipeline Loan. Each Loan Held for Sale allocated to a particular Investor in accordance with standard secondary marketing practices of OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries is eligible for sale under an Investment Commitment. Each Loan Held for Sale not allocated to a particular Investor in accordance with standard secondary marketing practices of OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries would be otherwise eligible for sale under an Investment Commitment upon allocation to an Investor. No fact or circumstance exists that would entitle the applicable Insurer or Investor to (A) demand from OBA or any OBA Subsidiary or any Affiliate of OBA or any OBA Subsidiary, either the repurchase of any Serviced Loan or Previously Disposed of Loan or indemnification for losses, (B) refuse to purchase a Loan Held for Sale, (C) impose on OBA, any OBA Subsidiary or any Affiliate of OBA or any OBA Subsidiary, sanctions, penalties or special requirements in respect of any Mortgage Loan or (D) rescind any insurance policy or reduce insurance benefits in respect of any Mortgage Loan which would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any obligation of OBA, any OBA Subsidiary or any Affiliate of OBA or any OBA Subsidiary under any agreement. Each Pipeline Loan complies in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules and regulations for the stage of processing that it has achieved based on the Investor or Insurer program, if applicable, under which OBA, any OBA Subsidiary or any Affiliate of OBA or any OBA Subsidiary originated the Pipeline Loan.

Table of Contents

(ii) Documentation/Enforceability. Each Mortgage Loan is evidenced by a Mortgage Note and is duly secured by a valid first lien or subordinated lien on the related Mortgaged Property, in each case, on such forms and with such terms as comply with all applicable Laws. Each Mortgage Note and the related Mortgage is genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights. No Mortgage Loan is subject to any rights of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage unenforceable by OBA or an OBA Subsidiary, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim, or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

(iii) Compliance with Law. OBA and each OBA Subsidiary, as the case may be, has complied, and each Mortgage Loan complied and complies, in all material respects, with respect to origination, sale and servicing of the Mortgage Loans, with all applicable Laws required to have been complied with as of the Effective Date, including, without limitation, the fair housing, anti-redlining, equal credit opportunity, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, fair credit reporting, high cost and anti-predatory lending and every other prohibition against unlawful discrimination in residential mortgage lending or governing consumer credit, and also including, without limitation, the Fair Housing Act, Consumer Credit Reporting Act, Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1975 and Regulation B, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Truth in Lending Act and Regulation Z, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974, and Regulation X, all as amended, and any applicable state consumer credit Law. Each originator of a Mortgage Loan was qualified to do business, and had all requisite licenses, permits and approvals, in the states in which the properties associated with the Mortgage Loans are located, as well as the states in which the associated mortgage notes or mortgages were or are to be executed.

(iv) Good Title. Except as set forth in OBA Disclosure Schedule 3.25(b)(iv), OBA or OBA Bank is the sole owner and holder of all right, title and interest in and to each Loan Held for Sale, Portfolio Loan and each Pipeline Loan. On the Effective Date, the Loans Held for Sale, the Portfolio Loans and the Pipeline Loans will be valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms and the Merger will effectively vest in FNB Bank good and marketable title to the Loans Held for Sale, the Portfolio Loans and the Pipeline Loans free and clear of any and all Liens. Neither OBA, OBA Bank nor any other OBA Subsidiary or other Affiliate of OBA or any OBA Subsidiary has previously assigned, transferred or encumbered any of the Loans Held for Sale, the Portfolio Loans or the Pipeline Loans.

(v) Origination and Servicing Practices. The origination and servicing practices used by OBA, each OBA Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of OBA or an OBA Subsidiary or any Originator with respect to each Mortgage Loan have been in all material respects legal, proper, prudent and customary in the mortgage lending business and in accordance with all applicable Laws. Except for customary industry standards for indemnification and repurchase remedies in connection with agreements for the sale or servicing of mortgage loans, none of OBA, the OBA Subsidiaries or other Affiliate of OBA or an OBA Subsidiary is now or has been subject to or, to the knowledge of OBA, threatened to be subject to any material fine, suspension, settlement or other agreement or administrative agreement or sanction by, or an obligation to indemnify, an Agency, an Insurer or an Investor, relating to the origination, sale or servicing of mortgage loans.

(vi) Loan-to-Value Ratio: Appraisals. OBA has relied on third-party appraisers to provide opinions and valuations upon which OBA determines the loan-to-value ratio of Loans Held for Sale and Committed Pipeline Loans. To OBA’s knowledge, at the time of origination, the loan-to-value ratio of each Loan Held for Sale and each committed Pipeline Loan (other than those

 

A-23


Table of Contents

Pipeline Loans that are not being originated for sale) did not exceed the maximum amount permitted by the applicable Investor or Insurer for such Loan Held for Sale or Pipeline Loan. The appraisal prepared in connection with the property associated with each Loan Held for Sale and each Pipeline Loan was prepared by a qualified appraiser with, to the knowledge of OBA, no direct or indirect interest in the property, and both the appraisal and appraiser satisfied all applicable Laws.

(vii) Fraud. To OBA’s knowledge, there has been no fraudulent action on the part of any Originator or Persons acting on behalf of the Originator in connection with the Origination of any Mortgage Loan or Pipeline Loan or the application of insurance proceeds with respect to a Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property for which OBA, any OBA Subsidiary or any other Affiliate of OBA or an OBA Subsidiary is responsible to the applicable Investor or Insurer or otherwise bears the risk of loss.

(viii) High Cost Loans. No Mortgage Loan is a “High Cost Loan” or “Covered Loan”, as applicable, under either the Home Ownership Equity Protection Act or a similar state or local anti-predatory lending law, statute, regulation or ordinance, including, without limitation, as such terms are defined in the then current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS and Glossary of Terms which is now Version 5.7 Revised, Appendix E.

Neither OBA nor any OBA Subsidiary has received any notice or information from any Governmental Entity that it intends to terminate or restrict the status of OBA, any OBA Subsidiary or any employee of OBA or an OBA Subsidiary as an approved participant in its Mortgage Business for which OBA or any OBA Subsidiary is registered, approved or authorized.

(d) Repurchase/Indemnification. Section 3.25(d)(1) of the OBA Disclosure Schedule contains a true and correct list of each written audit, investigation report or complaint in respect of OBA, OBA Bank or any other OBA Subsidiary by any Agency, Investor or Insurer received by OBA, OBA Bank or such other OBA Subsidiary since June 30, 2010, which asserted a material failure to comply with all applicable Laws affecting the Mortgage Business or resulted in (i) a Repurchase by OBA, OBA Bank or any other OBA Subsidiary of mortgage loans and/or Real Estate Owned acquired as a result of a default under a mortgage loan from such Agency, Investor or Insurer, (ii) indemnification by OBA, OBA Bank or any other OBA Subsidiary in connection with mortgage loans, or (iii) rescission of an insurance or guaranty contract or agreement applicable to mortgage loans.

For purposes of this Section 3.25(d), “Indemnification” means payment of a claim for payment of costs, claims and expenses required under a written agreement between OBA, OBA Bank or any other OBA Subsidiary or Affiliate and an Investor for the sale of Mortgage Loans that provides for indemnification by OBA, OBA Bank or any other OBA Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Investor for costs, claims and expenses arising out of a material failure by OBA, OBA Bank or any other OBA Subsidiary or Affiliate to comply with the representations, warranties and covenants in such written agreement with the Investor.

OBA or OBA Bank and, to OBA’s knowledge, each other party thereto has duly performed all obligations required to be performed by it to date under each Servicing Agreement.

FNB has delivered or made available to OBA a true, correct and complete copy of each FNB Employment Agreement.

(c) All contributions required to be made to any FNB Benefit Plan by applicable Law or by any plan document or other contractual undertaking, and all premiums due or payable with respect to insurance policies funding any FNB Benefit Plan, for the period six years prior to and through the date of this Agreement, have been timely made or paid in full or, to the extent not required to be made or paid on or before the date of this Agreement, have been fully reflected on the financial statements to the extent required by GAAP. Each FNB Benefit Plan that is an employee welfare benefit plan under Section 3(1) of ERISA either (i) is funded through an insurance company contract and is not a “welfare benefit fund” within the meaning of Section 419 of the Code or (ii) is unfunded.

(d) With respect to each FNB Benefit Plan, FNB and its Subsidiaries have complied, and are in compliance, in all material respects, with all provisions of ERISA, the Code and all laws and regulations applicable to such FNB Benefit Plans, including, without limitation, Code Section 409A. Each FNB Benefit Plan has been administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms. There are not now, nor do any circumstances exist that would reasonably be expected to give rise to, any requirement for the posting of security with respect to a FNB Benefit Plan or the imposition of any material lien on the assets of FNB or any of its Subsidiaries under ERISA or the Code. Section 4.11(d) of the FNB Disclosure Schedule identifies each FNB Benefit Plan that is intended to be a “qualified plan” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code (“FNB Qualified Plans”). The IRS has issued a favorable determination letter with respect to each FNB Qualified Plan and the related trust which has not been revoked, or FNB is entitled to rely on a favorable opinion issued by the IRS. To the knowledge of FNB, there are no existing circumstances and no events have occurred that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualified status of any FNB Qualified Plan or the related trust. To the knowledge of FNB, none of FNB and its Subsidiaries nor any other Person, including any fiduciary, has engaged in any “prohibited transaction”, as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA, which would reasonably be expected to subject FNB, any of its Subsidiaries or any Person that FNB or any of its Subsidiaries has an obligation to indemnify, to any material Tax or penalty imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA.

(e) No FNB Benefit Plan that is subject to Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 or 4971 of the Code has failed to satisfy the minimum funding standards contained in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code. With respect to such FNB Benefit Plans, except as would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect: (i) the fair market value of the assets of such FNB Benefit Plan equals or exceeds the actuarial present value of all accrued benefits under such FNB Benefit Plan, whether or not vested, on a termination basis, (ii) no reportable event within the meaning of Section 4043(c) of ERISA for which the 30-day notice requirement has not been waived has occurred, (iii) all premiums to the PBGC have been timely paid in full, (iv) no liability, other than for premiums to the PBGC, under Title IV of ERISA has been or would reasonably be expected to be incurred by FNB or any of its Subsidiaries and (v) the PBGC has not instituted proceedings to terminate any such FNB Benefit Plan and, to FNB’s knowledge, no condition exists that makes it reasonably likely that such proceedings will be instituted or which would reasonably be expected to constitute grounds under Section 4042 of ERISA for the termination of, or the appointment of a trustee to administer, any such FNB Benefit Plan.

(f) (i) No FNB Benefit Plan is a Multiemployer Plan or a Multiple Employer Plan, (ii) none of FNB and its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has, at any time during the last six years, contributed to or been obligated to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan and

(iii) none of FNB and its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has incurred, during the last six years, any Withdrawal Liability that has not been satisfied in full. There does not now exist, nor do any circumstances exist that would reasonably be expected to result in, any Controlled Group Liability that would be a liability of FNB or any of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time, other than such liabilities that arise solely out of, or relate solely to, the FNB Benefit Plans or the FNB Employment Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither FNB nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to FNB’s knowledge, any of their respective ERISA Affiliates, has engaged in any transaction described in Sections 4069, 4204 or 4212 of ERISA.

(g) Other than as set forth in Section 4.11(g) of the FNB Disclosure Schedule, FNB and its Subsidiaries have no liability for life, health, medical or other welfare benefits to former employees or beneficiaries or dependents thereof, except for health continuation coverage as required by Section 4980B of the Code, Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or applicable law and at no expense to FNB and its Subsidiaries.

(h) Neither the execution nor the delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions this Agreement contemplates will, either alone or in conjunction with any other event, whether contingent or otherwise, (i) result in any payment or benefit becoming due or payable, or required to be provided, to any director, employee or independent contractor of FNB or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) increase the amount or value of any benefit or compensation otherwise payable or required to be provided to any such director, employee or independent contractor, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment, vesting or funding of any such benefit or compensation, including deferred compensation, or (iv) result in any amount failing to be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code or would be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code or additional tax under Section 409A of the Code.

(i) No labor organization or group of employees of FNB or any of its Subsidiaries has made a pending demand for recognition or certification, and there are no representation or certification proceedings or petitions seeking a representation proceeding presently pending or, to FNB’s knowledge, threatened to be brought or filed, with the National Labor Relations Board.

agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. FNB also agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or “Blue Sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions this Agreement contemplates.

(b) Each of OBA and FNB agrees that none of the respective information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement shall, at the time the Registration Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto, if any, becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Each of OBA and FNB agrees that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Each of OBA and FNB further agree that if such party shall become aware prior to the Effective Time of any information furnished by such party that would cause any of the statements in the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other party thereof and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed promptly with the SEC and, to the extent required by law, disseminated to the shareholders of OBA.

(c) FNB agrees to advise OBA, promptly after FNB receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification of FNB Common Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or, to the extent FNB is aware thereof, threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the Registration Statement or for additional information.

(d) The parties shall cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings, to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties, Regulatory Agencies and Governmental Entities that are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions this Agreement contemplates, including the Merger, and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all such Regulatory Agencies and Governmental Entities. OBA and FNB shall have the right to review in advance, and, to the extent practicable, each will consult the other on, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, all the information relating to OBA or FNB, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, which appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party, Regulatory Agency or any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. The parties shall consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties, Regulatory Agencies and Governmental Entities necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions this Agreement contemplates and each party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions this Agreement contemplates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require FNB to take any action, or commit to take any action, or agree to any condition or restriction, in connection with obtaining the foregoing permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of third parties, Regulatory Agencies or Governmental Entities, that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on FNB, including the Surviving Company, after giving effect to the Merger, after the Effective Time (a “Materially Burdensome Regulatory Condition”). In addition, OBA agrees to cooperate and use its reasonable best efforts to assist FNB in preparing and filing such petitions and filings, and in obtaining such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of third parties, Regulatory Agencies and Governmental Entities, that may be necessary or

advisable to effect any mergers and/or consolidations of Subsidiaries of OBA and FNB following consummation of the Merger.

(e) Each of FNB and OBA shall, upon request, furnish to the other all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement, the Registration Statement or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of FNB, OBA or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Regulatory Agency or Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Each of FNB and OBA shall promptly provide each other with any written communications received from any Regulatory Agency or Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and will promptly advise the other upon receiving any oral communication with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from any Regulatory Agency or Governmental Entity whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the transactions this Agreement contemplates that causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any Requisite Regulatory Approval (as defined in Section 7.1(c)) will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval may be materially delayed.

(g) OBA and FNB shall consult with each other before issuing any press release with respect to the Merger or this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statements without the prior consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that a party may, without the prior consent of the other party, but after such consultation, to the extent practicable under the circumstances, issue such press release or make such public statements as may upon the advice of outside counsel be required by Law or the rules or regulations of the SEC, the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC, the OCC, the NYSE or NASDAQ.

OBA shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, provide to FNB a copy of each report, schedule and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state banking laws other than reports or documents that such party is not permitted to disclose under applicable Law. Neither OBA nor FNB nor any of their Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would (i) jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of such party or its Subsidiaries, (ii) contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, (iii) violate the contractual or statutory rights of a party’s customers, (iv) relate to matters involving this Agreement (except such disclosures or access that is otherwise required by this Agreement), or (v) relate to matters concerning an Acquisition Proposal (except as otherwise required by this Agreement). The parties shall make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply to the extent possible in light of those restrictions.

(c) No investigation by either of the parties or their respective representatives shall affect the representations and warranties of the other set forth in this Agreement.

6.3 OBA Shareholder Approval. OBA shall call a meeting of its shareholders for the purpose of obtaining the shareholder approval specified in Section 3.3(a) which is required in connection with this Agreement and the Merger (the “OBA Shareholders Meeting”), and shall use its reasonable best efforts to convene such meeting as soon as reasonably practicable following the Registration Statement being declared effective, giving a reasonable amount of time for printing and mailing. Subject to Section 6.11, the Board of Directors of OBA shall recommend that the shareholders of OBA approve and adopt this Agreement, and approve the Merger and the other transactions this Agreement contemplates, and shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement (the “OBA Recommendation”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, OBA’s obligations pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.3 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to OBA of any Acquisition Proposal, as defined in Section 6.11(e)(i).

6.4 Commercially Reasonable Efforts; Cooperation.

6.5 NYSE Approval. FNB shall cause the shares of FNB Common Stock to be issued in the Merger to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Effective Time.

6.6 Benefit Plans.

(a) As soon as administratively practicable after the Effective Time, FNB shall take all reasonable action so that employees of OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries shall be entitled to participate in each FNB Benefit Plan of general applicability with the exception of FNB’s defined benefit pension plan and any other plan frozen to new participants (collectively, the “FNB Eligible Plans”) to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of FNB and its Subsidiaries, it being understood that inclusion of the employees of OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries in the FNB Eligible Plans may occur at different times with respect to different plans, provided that coverage shall be continued under corresponding OBA Benefit Plans until such employees are permitted to participate in the FNB Eligible Plans so that there is no gap in coverage under any medical, dental, life, disability or other welfare plan or program and provided further, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall require FNB or any of its Subsidiaries to make any grants to any former employee of OBA under any discretionary equity compensation plan of FNB or to provide the same level of (or any) employer contributions or other benefit subsidies as OBA or the OBA Subsidiaries have provided. FNB shall cause each FNB Eligible Plan in which employees of OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries are eligible to participate, to recognize, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate in, and vesting of, benefits under the FNB Eligible Plans, the service of such employees with OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries to the same extent as such service was credited for such purpose by OBA or the OBA Subsidiaries, and, solely for purposes of FNB’s vacation programs, for purposes of determining the benefit amount, provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits. Except for the commitment to continue those OBA Benefit Plans that correspond to FNB Eligible Plans until employees of OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries are included in such FNB Eligible Plans, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the ability of FNB to amend or terminate any of the OBA Benefit Plans in accordance with and to the extent permitted by their terms at any time permitted by such terms.

At and following the Effective Time, and except as otherwise provided in Section 6.6(e), or as agreed to be amended, revised or superseded by the affected parties, FNB shall honor, and the Surviving Company shall continue to be obligated to perform, in accordance with their terms, all benefit obligations to, and contractual rights of, current and former employees of OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries and current and former directors of OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries existing as of the Effective Date under any OBA Benefit Plan. Any years of

 

A-46


Table of Contents

service recognized for purposes of this Section 6.6(a) will be taken into account under the terms of any generally applicable severance policy of FNB or its Subsidiaries.

(b) At such time as employees of OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries become eligible to participate in a medical, dental or health plan of FNB or its Subsidiaries, FNB shall use its best efforts, to the extent reasonably practicable and available from its insurers, to cause each such plan to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations to the extent such conditions are covered under the applicable medical, health or dental plans of FNB, (ii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to such employee or dependent on or after the Effective Time to the extent such employee or dependent had satisfied any similar limitation or requirement under an analogous OBA Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) cause its insurance providers to honor under such plans any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the employees of OBA and their covered dependents during the portion of the plan year prior to entering the applicable FNB insurance plan. Persons who were employed by OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries and who were entitled to continue health coverage under COBRA or any similar state law shall continue to be entitled to COBRA coverage and coverage under similar state law under the OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries insurance plans and, in the event of a termination of such plans, FNB shall continue to provide COBRA coverage.

(c) OBA shall adopt such Board resolutions and take such other action as FNB may reasonably request to cause the 401(k) Plan to be terminated immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Plan Termination Date”) and the accounts of all participants and beneficiaries in the 401(k) Plan as of the Plan Termination Date to become fully vested as of the Plan Termination Date. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, FNB shall file or cause to be filed all necessary documents with the IRS for a determination letter that the termination of the 401(k) Plan as of the Plan Termination Date will not adversely affect the plan’s qualified status. FNB shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such favorable determination letter; including, but not limited to, adopting such amendments to the 401(k) Plan as may be requested by the IRS as a condition to its issuance of a favorable determination letter. As soon as practicable following the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS regarding the qualified status of the 401(k) Plan upon its termination, the account balances in the 401(k) Plan shall be distributed to participants and beneficiaries or transferred to an eligible tax-qualified retirement plan or individual retirement account as a participant or beneficiary may direct, except that 401(k) Plan participants whose employment is terminated by FNB may elect to receive their 401(k) Plan account balance prior to the receipt of the IRS determination letter but following their termination of employment. The Surviving Company shall take all other actions necessary to complete the termination of the 401(k) Plan, including filing a Final Form 5500, that arise after the Effective Time. FNB agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to permit 401(k) Plan participants who become employees of FNB or its Subsidiaries to roll over their account balances in the 401(k) Plan and loans from the 401(k) Plan to the F.N.B. Corporation Progress Savings 401(k) Plan. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.6(a) to the contrary, employees of OBA or any OBA Subsidiary who continue in employment with the Surviving Company following the Effective Time shall be eligible as of the Effective Time to participate in the F.N.B. Corporation Progress Savings 401(k) Plan.

(d) OBA and OBA Bank shall, effective no later than immediately prior to, and contingent upon the Closing, adopt such necessary resolutions and or amendments to the ESOP, the ESOP trust or the ESOP Loan documents (and take any other required action) to (i) direct the ESOP trustee(s) to sell or otherwise dispose of shares of OBA Common Stock held in the ESOP’s Unallocated Stock Fund (as defined in the ESOP) and use the proceeds of such sale to repay any outstanding ESOP Loans, (ii) provide for treatment of the shares of OBA Common Stock held in the ESOP trust in accordance with Section 1.4(a) of this Agreement, (iii) terminate the ESOP in accordance with its terms and the provisions of this Section 6.6(d), effective as of the Effective Time, and (iv) provide that no new participants shall be admitted to the ESOP after the Closing. The accounts of all participants and beneficiaries in the ESOP as of the Effective Time shall become fully vested as of the Effective Time. Any unallocated shares of OBA Common Stock held in the ESOP after repayment of the ESOP Loans shall be converted into Merger Consideration and shall be allocated as earnings to the accounts of ESOP participants who have account balances in the ESOP as of the Effective Time based on their account balances

under the ESOP as of the Effective Time. As soon as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, FNB shall file or cause to be filed all necessary documents with the IRS for a determination letter for termination of the ESOP. As soon as practicable following the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS regarding the qualified status of the ESOP upon its termination, the account balances in the ESOP shall either be distributed to participants and beneficiaries or transferred to an eligible tax-qualified retirement plan or individual retirement account as a participant or beneficiary may direct, except that, ESOP participants whose employment is terminated by FNB may elect to receive their ESOP account balance prior to the receipt of the IRS determination letter but following their termination of employment. FNB agrees to permit ESOP participants who become employees of FNB or its Subsidiaries to roll over their account balances in the ESOP to the F.N.B. Corporation Progress Savings 401(k) Plan.

(e) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided in Sections 6.6(c) and (d), OBA shall, at the written request of FNB freeze or terminate each other OBA Benefit Plan as is requested by FNB.

(f) Each person who is an employee of OBA or any of the OBA Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date and who is terminated by FNB for a reason other than cause within twelve (12) months subsequent to the Closing Date or is not offered employment with FNB as of the Effective Time, excluding those employees who are entitled to benefits under change of control arrangements, shall be entitled to severance benefits as provided in Section 6.6(f) of the FNB Disclosure Schedule.

(g) FNB agrees to assume and honor all OBA Employment Agreements (including change in control agreements) that OBA or any of the OBA Subsidiaries have with its current and former employees and which have been identified in OBA Disclosure Schedule 3.11(a), except to the extent any such agreements shall be amended, revised or superseded with the written consent of the affected parties. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, FNB shall provide an Executive Compensation Proposal to each of those individuals named in OBA Disclosure Schedule 6.6(g) whose agreements are amended, revised or superseded, which shall set forth the method in which his or her rights under the specified agreements will be amended, revised or superseded in the event such individuals are entitled to payment or benefits. FNB shall make the payments required under the OBA Employment Agreements (including change in control agreements), as amended, revised or superseded.

(h) FNB shall take all actions necessary to maintain the OBA Stock Plan, including filing a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the SEC within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Time and maintain its effectiveness on an ongoing basis.

(i) OBA shall take such action, and provide any required notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to cause any Person presently serving as a trustee or administrator to any OBA Benefit Plan to be removed effective as of the Effective Time and to appoint First National Trust Company, or such other FNB Subsidiary or committee as FNB shall specify, to serve as successor trustee or administrator to such removed individual trustees or administrators effective as of the Effective Time.

6.7 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) In the event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (each a “Claim”) in which any individual who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of OBA or any of the OBA Subsidiaries or who is or was serving at the request of OBA or any of the OBA Subsidiaries as a director, officer, trustee, agent, employee, member or otherwise of another Person (the “Indemnified Parties”), is, or is threatened to be, made a party based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to (i) the fact that he is or was a director or officer of OBA or any of the OBA Subsidiaries or was serving at the request of OBA or any of the OBA Subsidiaries as a director, officer, trustee, agent, employee, member or otherwise of another Person or in any

Table of Contents

capacity with respect to any OBA Benefit Plan, or (ii) this Agreement or any of the transactions this Agreement contemplates, whether asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time, the parties shall cooperate and use their best efforts to defend against such Claim and respond thereto. From the Effective Time, but subject to subsection (b) below, FNB shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, indemnify and hold harmless, as and to the fullest extent currently provided under applicable Law, the OBA Charter and the OBA Bylaws, each such Indemnified Party against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses, including reimbursement for reasonable fees and expenses, including fees and expenses of legal counsel, incurred in advance of the final disposition of any Claim upon receipt of any undertaking required by applicable Law, and judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any such threatened or actual Claim.

(b) FNB and the Surviving Company agree that all rights to indemnification of liabilities, including advancement of expenses, and all limitations with respect thereto, existing in favor of any Indemnified Person, as provided under Section 6.7(a), shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect, without any amendment thereto; provided, however, that any determination required to be made with respect to whether an Indemnified Party’s conduct complies with the standards set forth under the MGCL, the OBA Charter or the OBA Bylaws, as the case may be, shall be made by independent legal counsel, whose fees and expenses shall be paid by FNB and the Surviving Company, selected by such Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to FNB; and, provided further that nothing in this Section 6.7 shall impair any rights or obligations of any current or former director or officer of OBA or its Subsidiaries, including pursuant to the respective organizational documents of OBA, or its Subsidiaries, under the MGCL or otherwise. Any person to whom expenses are advanced shall provide an undertaking, if required by applicable Law, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, FNB shall obtain at the expense of OBA, and FNB shall maintain for a period of six years following the Effective Time, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policies covering the Indemnified Parties who as of the Effective Time are covered by OBA’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance or fiduciary liability insurance policies, in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions this Agreement contemplates, provided that these policies must be of at least the same coverage amounts and contain coverage terms and conditions that are not less advantageous than such policies of OBA. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time from an insurer or insurers selected by FNB that have an insurer financial strength rating by A.M. Best Co. of at least “A”, which policies provide the Indemnified Parties with coverage, from the Effective Time to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, including in respect of the transactions this Agreement contemplates, on terms that are no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties than OBA’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance or fiduciary liability insurance policies existing immediately prior to the date of this Agreement. If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, then FNB shall maintain such policies in full force and effect and continue the obligations thereunder. However, in no event shall FNB be required to expend for any one year an amount in excess of 150% of the annual premium currently paid by OBA for such insurance (the “Insurance Amount”), and further provided that if FNB is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 6.7(c) as a result of the preceding provision, FNB shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain policies containing coverage amounts, terms and conditions that are the most advantageous as is available for the maximum Insurance Amount.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives. If FNB or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of FNB shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7.

In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, including any merger between a Subsidiary of FNB, on the one hand, and a Subsidiary of OBA, on the other hand, or to vest the Surviving Company with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of either party to the Merger, the proper officers and directors of each party and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, FNB.

6.11 Certain Actions.

(a) From the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, except as otherwise permitted by this Section 6.11, OBA will not, and will not authorize or permit any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, advisors, agents, affiliates or representatives (collectively, “OBA Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, encourage or take any action to facilitate, including by way of furnishing information, any Acquisition Proposal, as defined in Section 6.11(e)(i), or any inquiries with respect to or the making of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish any information relating to OBA or any of the OBA Subsidiaries or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of OBA or any of the OBA Subsidiaries, to otherwise cooperate in any way with, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by any third party that is seeking to make, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal or (iii) except in accordance with Section 8.1(g), approve, endorse or recommend or enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any contract, agreement or commitment contemplating or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, OBA and its Board of Directors shall be permitted: (i) to comply with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal provided that the Board of Directors of OBA shall not withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to FNB the OBA Recommendation except as set forth in subsection (iii) below, (ii) to engage in any discussions or negotiations with, and provide any information to, and afford access to the business, properties, assets, books and records of OBA or any of the OBA Subsidiaries, any third party in response to a Superior Proposal, as defined in Section 6.11(e)(ii), by any such third party, if and only to the extent that (x) OBA’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to do so would be reasonably expected to result in a breach of their fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (y) prior to providing any information or data to any third party in connection with a Superior Proposal by any such third party, OBA’s Board of Directors receives from such third party an executed confidentiality agreement, which confidentiality terms shall be no less favorable to OBA than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreements between OBA and FNB, a copy of which executed confidentiality agreement shall have been provided to FNB for informational purposes, and (z) at least 48 hours prior to providing any information or data to any third party or entering into discussions or negotiations with any third party, OBA promptly notifies FNB in writing of the name of such third party and the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal, and (iii) to

withdraw, modify, qualify in a manner adverse to FNB, condition or refuse to make the OBA Recommendation (the “Change in OBA Recommendation”) if OBA’s Board of Directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and financial advisors, that failure to do so would reasonably be expected to breach their fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Notwithstanding any Change in OBA Recommendation, this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of OBA at the OBA Shareholders’ Meeting for the purpose of voting on the approval of this Agreement and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve OBA of such obligation; provided, however, that if the Board of Directors of OBA shall have effected a Change in OBA Recommendation, then the Board of Directors of OBA may submit this Agreement to OBA’s shareholders without recommendation (although the resolutions adopting this Agreement as of the date hereof may not be rescinded), in which event the Board of Directors of OBA may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to OBA’s shareholders in the Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to the extent required by applicable Law. In addition to the foregoing, OBA shall not submit to the vote of its shareholders any Acquisition Proposal other than the Merger prior to the termination of this Agreement.

(c) OBA will promptly, and in any event within 24 hours, notify FNB in writing of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any information related thereto, which notification shall describe the Acquisition Proposal and identify the third party making the same.

(d) OBA agrees that it will, and will cause the OBA Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any activities, discussions or negotiations existing as of the date of this Agreement with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. OBA or its Representatives shall promptly after the date of this Agreement instruct each Person which has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal with or for the benefit of OBA to promptly return or destroy (which destruction shall be certified in writing by such Person to OBA) all information, documents and materials relating to an Acquisition Proposal or to OBA or its businesses, operations or affairs heretofore furnished by OBA or any of its Representatives to such Person or any of such Person’s Representatives in accordance with the terms of any confidentiality agreement with such Person, and to destroy all summaries, analyses or extracts of or based upon such information in the possession of such Person or any of such Person’s Representatives.

(ii) The term “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal made by a Third Party to acquire more than 50% of the combined voting power of the shares of OBA Common Stock then outstanding or all or substantially all of OBA’s consolidated assets for consideration consisting of cash and/or securities that is on terms that the Board of Directors of OBA in good faith concludes, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, taking into account, among other things, all legal, financial, regulatory and other

aspects of the proposal and the Person making the proposal, including any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to consummation, (A) is on terms that the Board of Directors of OBA in its good faith judgment believes to be more favorable to OBA than the Merger, (B) for which financing, to the extent required, is then fully committed or reasonably determined to be available by the Board of Directors of OBA and (C) is reasonably capable of being completed.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 6.11, “Third Party” means any person as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act other than FNB or its Affiliates.

(f) If a Payment Event, as defined in Section 6.11(g), occurs, OBA shall pay to FNB by wire transfer of immediately available funds, within two business days following such Payment Event, a fee of $3.75 million (the “Break-up Fee”), provided, however, that if a Payment Event occurs, OBA shall have no obligation to pay FNB’s expenses under Section 9.3(b).

(g) The term “Payment Event” means any of the following:

(i) the termination of this Agreement by FNB pursuant to Section 8.1(f);

(ii) the termination of this Agreement by OBA pursuant to Section 8.1(g);

(iii) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to any other Section following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer for 25% or more of the outstanding shares of OBA Common Stock and OBA shall not have recommended rejection of such tender offer or exchange offer within 10 business days after the commencement of such tender offer or exchange offer;

(iv) the occurrence of any of the following events within 12 months of the termination of this Agreement by FNB pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) or 8.1(c) or by either FNB or OBA pursuant to Section 8.1(e), in each case provided that an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made by a Third Party after the date of this Agreement and prior to such termination that shall not have been withdrawn prior to such termination: (A) OBA enters into an agreement to merge with or into, or be acquired, directly or indirectly, by merger or otherwise by, such Third Party, (B) such Third Party, directly or indirectly, acquires substantially all of the assets of OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries, taken as a whole or (C) such Third Party, directly or indirectly, acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of OBA Common Stock.

(h) OBA acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 6.11 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and that without these agreements FNB would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, in the event OBA fails to pay to FNB the Break-up Fee promptly when due, OBA shall, in addition thereto, pay to FNB all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred by FNB in collecting such Break-up Fee together with interest on the amount of the Break-up Fee or any unpaid portion thereof, from the date such payment was due until the date such payment is received by FNB, accrued at the fluctuating prime rate as quoted in The Wall Street Journal as in effect from time to time during the period.

6.12 Transition. Commencing on the date of this Agreement, FNB and OBA shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts to facilitate the integration, from and after the Closing, of OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries with the businesses of FNB and its Subsidiaries, without taking action that would, in effect, give FNB control over the management or policies of OBA or any of the OBA Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date and consistent with the performance of their day-to-day operations, the continuous operation of OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and applicable Law, OBA shall cause the employees and officers of OBA and the OBA Subsidiaries, including OBA Bank, to cooperate with FNB in performing tasks reasonably required in connection with such integration.

This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed to require any person to take any action, or fail to take any action, if to do so would violate any applicable law. In this Agreement, “knowledge” or “Knowledge” means the actual knowledge as of the date referenced of executive officers of the applicable party following reasonable inquiry of persons within their organization and its Subsidiaries who would be reasonably expected to be knowledgeable about the relevant subject matter.

9.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the documents and the instruments referred to in this Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreements, constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, other than the Confidentiality Agreements.

9.9 Severability. Except to the extent that application of this Section 9.9 would have a Material Adverse Effect on OBA or FNB, any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. In all such cases, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to substitute a valid, legal and enforceable provision that, insofar as practicable, implements the original purposes and intents of this Agreement.

APPENDIX B

VOTING AGREEMENT

                                     , 2014

F.N.B. Corporation

One F.N.B. Boulevard

Hermitage, PA 16148

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Concurrently with the execution of this letter agreement (“Voting Agreement”), F.N.B. Corporation, a Florida corporation (“FNB”), and OBA Financial Services, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“OBA”), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, of even date herewith (the “Merger Agreement”), whereby OBA will merge with and into FNB (the “Merger”) and shareholders of OBA will receive the Merger Consideration as set forth in the Merger Agreement, subject to the closing of the Merger. All defined terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.

A condition to FNB’s obligations under the Merger Agreement is that I execute and deliver this Voting Agreement to FNB.

Intending to be legally bound hereby, I irrevocably agree and represent as follows:

(a) As of the date of this Voting Agreement, I have, and at all times during the term of this Voting Agreement will have, beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of, and good and valid title to, the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of OBA (the “OBA Common Stock”), that is set forth on Appendix A hereto, and I hold stock options to acquire the number of shares of OBA Common Stock set forth on Appendix A hereto. All of the securities listed on Appendix A are owned free and clear of any proxy or voting restriction, claims, liens, encumbrances and security interests and any other limitation or restriction whatsoever (including any restriction on the right to dispose of such securities). None of the securities listed on Appendix A are subject to any voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting rights of such securities.

(b) As of the date of this Voting Agreement, except for the securities set forth on Appendix A, I do not beneficially own any (i) shares of capital stock or voting securities of OBA, (ii) securities of OBA convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or voting securities of OBA or (iii) options or other rights to acquire from OBA any shares of capital stock, voting securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock or voting securities of OBA. The OBA Common Stock listed on Appendix A, together with all OBA Common Stock that I subsequently acquire during the term of this Voting Agreement, including through the exercise of any stock options, warrants or similar instruments, are referred to herein as the “Shares”.

(c) At the OBA Shareholders Meeting and at any other meeting of OBA shareholders, however called, and on every action or approval by written consent of shareholders of OBA, I will vote or cause to be voted all Shares over which I have sole voting power, and I will use my best efforts to cause any Shares over which I share voting power to be voted in favor of (i) approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and (ii) any proposal to adjourn or postpone such meeting to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Merger Agreement. Determinations as to “sole” or “shared” voting power shall be made in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act.

(d) During the term of this Voting Agreement, I will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”) any Shares over which I have sole dispositive power (or any interest therein), and I will use my best efforts to not permit the Transfer of any Shares over which I have shared dispositive power (or any interest therein), except to the extent permitted by paragraph (g) hereof.

 

B-1


Table of Contents

(e) I agree that OBA shall not be bound by any attempted sale of any OBA Common Stock over which I have sole voting and dispositive power, and OBA’s transfer agent shall be given appropriate stop transfer orders and shall not be required to register any such attempted sale, unless the sale has been effected in compliance with the terms of this Voting Agreement.

(f) I represent that I have the legal capacity to enter into this Voting Agreement, that I have duly and validly executed and delivered this Voting Agreement and that this Voting Agreement is a valid and binding obligation enforceable against me in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting creditors’ rights and general equitable principles; and further, that no consent of my spouse is necessary under any “community property” or other laws in order for me to enter into and perform my obligations under this Voting Agreement.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, I may Transfer any or all of the Shares over which I have beneficial ownership to my spouse, ancestors or descendants; provided, however, that in any such case, prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of such Transfer, each person to which any of such Shares or any interest in any of such Shares is or may be Transferred shall have executed and delivered to FNB an agreement to be bound by the terms of this Voting Agreement.

I am signing this Voting Agreement solely in my capacity as a shareholder of OBA and as an optionholder and/or warrantholder, if I am such, and not in any other capacity, such as a director or officer of OBA or as a fiduciary of any trusts in which I am not a beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (a) I make no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in my capacity as a beneficial owner of OBA Common Stock and (b) nothing herein shall be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction by me or any of my representatives, as applicable, in serving on OBA’s Board of Directors or as an officer of OBA, in acting in my capacity as a director, officer or fiduciary of OBA.

This Voting Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect concurrently with, and automatically upon, the earlier to occur of (a) the favorable vote of the OBA shareholders with respect to the approval of the Merger Agreement, (b) the Effective Time, (c) FNB and I enter into a written agreement to terminate this Voting Agreement, or (d) any termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, except that any such termination shall be without prejudice to FNB’s rights if termination should arise out of my willful breach of any covenant or representation contained herein.

All notices and other communications in connection with this Voting Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, sent via facsimile, with confirmation, mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or delivered by an express courier, with confirmation, to the other party hereto at its addresses set forth on the signature page hereto.

This Voting Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties. This Voting Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Voting Agreement.

I agree and acknowledge that FNB may be irreparably harmed by, and that there may be no adequate remedy at law for, any violation of this Voting Agreement by me. Without limiting other remedies, FNB shall have the right to seek to enforce this Voting Agreement by specific performance or injunctive relief. This Voting Agreement and all claims arising hereunder or relating hereto, shall be governed and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. I hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Pennsylvania state court or the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this letter.

Table of Contents

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Voting Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Voting Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Voting Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

This Voting Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Board of Directors

OBA Financial Services, Inc.

20300 Seneca Meadows Parkway

Germantown, MD 20876

Members of the Board of Directors:

OBA Financial Services, Inc. (“OBAF”) and FNB Corporation (“FNB”) have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 7, 2014 (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which OBAF will merge with and into FNB, with FNB continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of OBAF Common Stock (the “OBAF Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for Treasury Shares, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive 1.781 shares of common stock of FNB (the “FNB Shares” or the “Merger Consideration”). Cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional shares. The other terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Agreement, and capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Merger Consideration to the holders of OBAF Shares.

In arriving at our opinion, we have, among other things:

 

  1. Reviewed the Agreement dated April 7, 2014;

 

  2. Reviewed certain publicly-available financial and business information of OBAF, FNB and their affiliates which we deemed to be relevant;

 

  3. Reviewed certain information, including financial forecasts, relating to the business, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities, liquidity and prospects of OBAF and FNB;

 

  4. Reviewed materials detailing the Merger prepared by OBAF, FNB and their affiliates and by their legal and accounting advisors including the estimated amount and timing of the cost savings and related expenses, purchase accounting adjustments and synergies expected to result from the Merger (the “Synergies”);

 

  5. Conducted conversations with members of senior management and representatives of both OBAF and FNB regarding the matters described in clauses 1-4 above, as well as their respective businesses and prospects before and after giving effect to the Merger;

  6. Compared certain financial metrics of OBAF and FNB with similarly publicly available financial metrics of other selected publicly traded banks and thrifts that we deemed to be relevant;

 

  7. Analyzed the terms and structure of the Merger relative to selected prior mergers and acquisitions involving a depository institution as the selling entity;

 

  8. Analyzed the projected pro forma impact of the Merger on certain projected balance sheet, capital ratios, tangible book value per share and estimated earnings per share of FNB based on assumptions relating to the Synergies estimates by the senior management of FNB;

 

  9. Analyzed the Merger Consideration offered relative to OBAF’s tangible book value, tangible book value adjusted for excess capital, core deposits and last twelve months earnings as of December 31, 2013;

 

  10. Reviewed the recent price performance of the common stock of FNB and compared it to other selected publicly traded banks and thrifts that we deemed relevant; and

 

  11. Reviewed such other financial information, studies, analyses and investigations and took into account such other information as we deemed appropriate for purposes of this opinion, including our assessment of general economic, market and monetary conditions.

In preparing our opinion, we assumed and relied upon, and we have not independently verified (nor have we assumed responsibility or liability for independently verifying), the accuracy and completeness of the information that was available to us from public sources, that was provided to us by OBAF, FNB and their affiliates or that was otherwise reviewed by us for the purposes of this opinion. We have further relied on the assurances of the management of OBAF and FNB that they are not aware of any facts or circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate or misleading in any material respect. We were not engaged to express, and are not expressing, any opinion with respect to any other transactions or alternative proposed transactions, if any, between OBAF and FNB. In preparing our opinion, we used publicly available earnings estimates by research analysts covering FNB, and internal projections for OBAF provided by and discussed with senior management of OBAF and FNB. With respect to the analyses and financial forecasts supplied to us, including the Synergies, we have assumed with your consent that they were reasonably prepared and reflect the best currently available estimates and judgments of OBAF and FNB as to future operating and financial performance of OBAF, FNB and the surviving corporation and its affiliates to which such analyses or forecasts relate. We express no opinion as to such analyses and financial forecasts (including the Synergies) or the estimates or assumptions on which they are based. In addition, we have assumed that the Agreement is a valid, binding and enforceable agreement upon the parties and their affiliates and will not be terminated or breached by either party. We have also assumed that the representations and warranties of each party in the Agreement are true and correct in all respects material to our analyses and that each party to the Agreement will perform all of

the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under the Agreement. We have also assumed that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes, and will be consummated as described in the Agreement, and that the definitive Agreement will not differ in any material respects from the draft thereof furnished to us. We have also assumed that there have been no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of OBAF, FNB and their affiliates since either (i) the date of the last financial statements made available to us and (ii) the date of the Agreement, and that no legal, political, economic, regulatory or other developments have occurred or will occur that will adversely affect these entities. We did not make or have been provided an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities or the collateral securing such assets or liabilities of OBAF, FNB or their affiliates, including, but not limited to, any derivative or off-balance sheet assets or contingent or other liabilities nor have we conducted any review of individual credit files of OBAF or FNB or evaluated the solvency of OBAF or FNB under any state or federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. We render no opinion or evaluation on the collectability of any asset or the future performance of any loan of OBAF or FNB. We were not retained to evaluate loan or lease portfolios for the purpose of assessing the adequacy of the allowances for losses with respect thereto and, accordingly, we did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses of OBAF or FNB or on the credit mark assumed taken in the Merger, and we have assumed, with your consent, that the respective allowances for loan and lease losses for both OBAF and FNB, respectively, as well as the credit mark are adequate to cover such losses and will be adequate on a pro forma basis for FNB. We are not legal, regulatory, accounting or tax experts and have relied upon the advisors to OBAF and FNB and assumed, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, legal, regulatory, tax, and accounting assessments and such other information provided to, discussed with or reviewed by us. We have assumed that all required governmental, regulatory, shareholder and third party approvals have or will be received in a timely fashion and without any conditions or requirements that could adversely affect OBAF or FNB or adversely affect the Merger.

Our opinion is necessarily based on economic, market, and other conditions as existed on, and could be evaluated as of, and on the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events and developments occurring after the date hereof could materially affect the assumptions used in preparing this opinion, and we do not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion.

Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc. (“Sterne Agee”) is acting as financial advisor to OBAF in connection with the Merger and will receive fees from OBAF for our services, a significant portion of which are contingent upon the consummation of the Merger. Sterne Agee also will receive a fee in connection with the delivery of this opinion. In addition, OBAF has agreed to reimburse our expenses and to indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. Other than our engagement by OBAF in connection with the Merger and our co-manager role in FNB’s October 2013 preferred stock offering, we have not provided investment banking services to OBAF, FNB or their affiliates over the past two years; however, we may do so in the future. In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may, from time to time, purchase securities from and sell securities to OBAF, FNB or their affiliates.

This opinion is for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors of OBAF in connection with its consideration of the Merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of OBAF Shares as to how any such shareholder should vote at any meeting of shareholders called to consider and vote upon the Merger. Our opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view to the holders of OBAF Shares of the Merger Consideration and does not address the underlying business decision of OBAF to enter into the transaction, or constitute a recommendation whether or not, to engage in the Merger, or the relative merits of the Merger relative to any alternative that may be available to OBAF or to the effect of any other transaction in which OBAF might engage. In rendering this opinion, we express no view or opinion with respect to the price at which the FNB Shares may trade in the future. Further, in rendering this opinion, we express no view or opinion with respect to the fairness (financial or otherwise) of the amount or nature or any other aspect of any compensation payable to or to be received in connection with the Merger by any officers, directors, or employees of any of the parties to the Merger or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation. The issuance of this opinion has been approved by the Fairness Opinion Committee of Sterne Agee.

This opinion may not be disclosed, referred to, or communicated (in whole or in part) to any third party for any purpose whatsoever except with our prior written approval. This opinion may be reproduced in full in any proxy or information statement mailed to shareholders of OBAF but may not otherwise be disclosed publicly in any manner without our prior written approval.

Based on the foregoing and such other matters we have deemed relevant, it is our opinion, as of the date hereof, that the Merger Consideration is fair from a financial point of view to the holders of OBAF Shares.

Very truly yours,

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Florida Business Corporation Act, as amended (the “FBCA”), provides that, in general, a business corporation may indemnify any person who is or was a party to any proceeding, other than an action by, or in the right of, the corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, provided certain standards are met, including that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and provided further that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of proceedings by or in the right of the corporation, the FBCA provides that, in general, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party to any such proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against expenses and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that the amount so indemnified shall not exceed the estimated expense of litigating the matter to conclusion, and no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim as to which such person is adjudged liable, unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. To the extent that any officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any of such proceedings, the FBCA requires that the corporation indemnify such officer or director against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The corporation may pay in advance the expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal proceeding so long as the director or officer has undertaken to repay those amounts if he or she is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification. However, the FBCA further provides that, in general, indemnification or advancement of expenses shall not be made to or on behalf of any officer or director if a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that his or her actions, or omissions to act, were material to the cause of action so adjudicated and constitute: (i) a violation of the criminal law, unless the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe it was unlawful; (ii) a transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit; (iii) in the case of a director, a circumstance under which the director has voted for or assented to a distribution made in violation of the FBCA or the corporation’s articles of incorporation; or (iv) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.

F.N.B.’s articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that F.N.B. shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law in connection with any actual or threatened action, suit or proceeding, civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, whether brought by or in the right of F.N.B. or otherwise, arising out of the service to F.N.B. or to another organization at F.N.B.’s request, or because of their positions with F.N.B. F.N.B.’s bylaws also state that F.N.B. shall pay the expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending or investigating a threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay those amounts if it is ultimately determined that he or she was not entitled to be indemnified. F.N.B.’s articles of incorporation further provide that F.N.B. may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any such director or officer against any liability, cost or expense asserted against or incurred by him or her with respect to such service, whether or not F.N.B. would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability by law or under the provisions of this paragraph.

F.N.B. maintains insurance policies insuring directors and officers against certain liabilities they may incur in their capacity as such.

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

Table of Contents

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change in such information in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) (1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

(2) The registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(e) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(f) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
