Community Bank Mergers & Acquisitions - Virtual

The current community bank mergers and acquisitions landscape is more different today than it ever has been. 

Community banks that are considering engaging in a merger or acquisition transaction, as either a buyer, seller or in a merger of equals, should fully understand the current environment and the various strategic issues that must be considered. 

Even if you intend to remain independent, understanding the M&A market will help better prepare your organization.

This two-day, virtual workshop, which will include significant participant interaction with a “hands-on” approach, will explore all aspects of the current community bank M&A environment from both a buyer’s and seller’s perspective. 

The two-day session will include lecture, interactive discussion, real-life examples and an exercise where participants work through financial models as well as a sample acquisition transaction. 

The workshop is specifically geared for community banks that are considering a merger or acquisition as a buyer, seller or in a merger of equals, as well as those who simply want to better understand the landscape and process in order to continue to pursue a strategy of independence.

Topics include:

• Strategic considerations for buying and selling
• Valuation and contract negotiation
• Common mistakes of buyers and sellers
• Maximizing value as a buyer or seller
• Financial analysis and operational integration
• Practical considerations such as management changes, social integration, disgruntled stockholders, regulatory approval, etc.
