Immediately following the Merger, Town Square Bank, a federal savings association and wholly-owned subsidiary of Poage, will merge with and into City National Bank of West Virginia, a national bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of City, with City National Bank of West Virginia as the surviving entity (the “Poage Bank Merger”). The Boards of Directors of City and Poage have approved the Poage Merger, Poage Bank Merger and the Poage Merger Agreement.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Poage Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Poage Merger (the “Poage Effective Time”), Poage shareholders will have the right to receive 0.335 City common shares, par value of $2.50 per share (“City Common Shares”), for each Poage common share, par value of $0.01 per share (“Poage Common Shares”). Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares and for unexercised Poage options at closing.

The Poage Merger Agreement also provides that, at or promptly after the Poage Effective Time, the City board of directors will appoint Thomas L. Burnette, Chairman of the board of directors of Poage and Town Square Bank, to the boards of City and City National Bank of West Virginia.

The Poage Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from both City and Poage, and each party has agreed to customary covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to: (i) the conduct of City’s and Poage’s respective business during the interim period between the execution of the Poage Merger Agreement and the closing of the Poage Merger, (ii) the obligation of Poage to facilitate its shareholders’ consideration of, and voting upon, the Poage Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (iii) the recommendation by the board of directors of Poage in favor of the approval by its shareholders of the Poage Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and (iv) Poage’s non-solicitation obligations relating to alternative acquisition proposals.

The Poage Merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018, pending adoption of the Poage Merger Agreement by the shareholders of Poage, the satisfaction of various closing conditions, including the receipt of all necessary bank regulatory approvals, the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 for the City Common Shares to be issued in the Poage Merger, the accuracy of the representations and warranties of each party (subject to certain exceptions), the performance in all material respects by each party of its obligations under the Poage Merger Agreement, and other conditions customary for transactions of this type. The Poage Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both City and Poage, and further provides that, upon termination of the Poage Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, Poage may be required to pay City a termination fee of $4 million.

Additionally, concurrently with entering into the Poage Merger Agreement, City entered into Voting Agreements with all Poage directors pursuant to which such shareholders agreed to vote their Poage shares in favor of the Poage Merger.

The description of the Poage Merger Agreement set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Poage Merger Agreement, which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1. The form of voting agreement is included as an exhibit to the Poage Merger Agreement and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Poage Merger Agreement, which has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms, contains representations and warranties of City and Poage. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules that the parties delivered to each other in connection with the execution of the Poage Merger Agreement. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to shareholders, or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, investors should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts, or for any other purpose, at the time they were made or otherwise. The Poage Merger Agreement should not be read alone, but should instead be read in conjunction with the other information regarding City, Poage, their respective affiliates or their respective businesses, the Poage Merger Agreement and the Poage Merger that will be contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the Registration Statement on Form S-4 that will include a Proxy Statement of Poage, as well as in the Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q, and other filings that City may make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

ARTICLE III

Merger Consideration.

3.01 Merger Consideration .

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Parent Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof:

(a) Conversion of Poage Common Shares . Subject to Sections 3.03 and 3.04, each Poage Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive a number of City Common Shares (the “ Per Share Consideration ”) equal to the Exchange Ratio. The aggregate Per Share Consideration is sometimes referred to herein as the “ Merger Consideration .”

(b) Adjustments to the Merger Consideration .

(i) If the number of Poage Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time exceeds the number of Poage Common Shares issued and outstanding as of the date hereof, except to the extent such increase is due to the exercise of Poage Options, the Merger Consideration will not be adjusted as a result of such excess, though an appropriate adjustment will be made to the Exchange Ratio.

(ii) If City changes (or establishes a record date for changing) the number of City Common Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time by way of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding City Common Shares, and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted so the shareholders of Poage at the Effective Time shall receive Merger Consideration that produces the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action.

3.02 Rights as Shareholders; Share Transfers . At the Effective Time, holders of Poage Common Shares shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, shareholders of Poage, other than (a) to receive any dividend or other distribution with respect to such Poage Common Shares with a record date occurring prior to the Effective Time, and (b) to receive the Merger Consideration,. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Poage or the Surviving Corporation of any Poage Common Shares.

3.03 Exchange and Payment Procedures .

(a) Exchange Agent . City’s transfer agent will act as agent (the “ Exchange Agent ”) for purposes of conducting the exchange and payment procedures as described in this Section 3.03.

(b) Exchange Fund . Prior to the Effective Time, but no later than one business day prior to the Effective Date, City shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent , for the benefit of the holders of Old Certificates, for exchange in accordance with this Article III, (i) certificates representing City Common Shares (subject to Section 3.03(i)), (ii) cash in an aggregate amount sufficient to make appropriate payment of (A) cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.03(d), and (B) any dividends or distributions on account of City Common Shares to be exchanged for Poage Common Shares with a record date occurring on or after the Effective Time, and without any interest on any such cash, dividends or distributions (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “ Exchange Fund ”) to be paid pursuant to this Article III in exchange for outstanding Poage Common Shares. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall distribute City Common Shares and make payment of such cash as provided herein. The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or to exercise any rights of ownership with respect to the City Common Shares held by it from time to time hereunder, except that it shall receive and hold in trust for the recipients of the City Common Shares until distributed thereto pursuant to the provision of this Agreement all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with respect to such City Common Shares for the account of the persons entitled thereto.

(i) Within five business days after the Effective Time, City shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of an outstanding certificate or certificates which, as of the Effective Time, represented Poage Common Shares (“ Old Certificates ”) or uncertificated shares (i) a letter of transmittal which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the shares of Old Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Old Certificates, if applicable, or upon delivery of the letter of transmittal in the case of uncertificated shares, to the Exchange Agent, and which shall be in customary form as directed by City and reasonably acceptable to Poage, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Old Certificates, if applicable, or the letter of transmittal in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon the proper surrender of the Old Certificates, if applicable, and a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by City or the Exchange Agent, the holders of such Old Certificates or uncertificated shares shall be entitled to receive the number of whole shares of City Common Shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.01(a) and a check in the amount equal to the cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.03, and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.02. Old Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Within ten days following receipt of the properly completed letter of transmittal and any necessary accompanying documentation, the Exchange Agent shall distribute City Common Shares and cash as provided herein. If there is a transfer of ownership of any shares of Poage Common Shares not registered in the transfer records of Poage, the Merger Consideration shall be issued to the transferee thereof if the Old Certificates representing such Poage Common Shares are presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required, in the reasonable judgment of City and the Exchange Agent, to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid.

(ii) No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to City Common Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be remitted to any person entitled to receive shares of City Common Shares hereunder until such Person surrenders his, her or its Old Certificates, if applicable, and the letter of transmittal in accordance with this Section 3.03. Upon the surrender of such Person’s Old Certificates, if applicable, and the letter of transmittal, such Person shall be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions, without interest thereon, which subsequent to the Effective Time had become payable but not paid with respect to shares of City Common Shares represented by such Person’s Old Certificates or uncertificated shares.

(d) No Fractional City Common Shares .

(i) No certificates or scrip representing fractional City Common Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Old Certificates, and such fractional City Common Share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a shareholder of the Surviving Corporation.

(ii) Each holder of Poage Common Shares who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional City Common Share shall receive from the Exchange Agent an amount of cash, without interest, in an amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (a) the fractional share interest (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) to which such holder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by (b) the volume weighted average closing price per share of City Common Shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market® for the ten consecutive trading days ending on and including the day immediately preceding the Effective Date.

(e) Release of Exchange Fund . Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of Poage for six months after the Effective Time shall be paid to City. Any shareholders of Poage who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to City for payment of the Merger Consideration.

(f) No Liability . None of City, Poage, the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any former holder of Poage Common Shares for any payment of the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of a fractional City Common Share interest, or any dividends or distributions with respect to City Common Shares delivered to a public official if required by any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(g) Lost Certificates . If any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed in form and substance acceptable to City and, if required by City or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such amount as City or the Exchange Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Poage Common Shares represented by such Old Certificate.

(h) Withholding Rights . City or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Poage Common Shares such amounts as City or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of domestic or foreign tax law (whether national, federal, state, provincial, local or otherwise). To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by City or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Poage Common Shares.

(i) Book Entry . All shares of City Common Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement may be issued in book entry form without physical certificates in City’s discretion.

(j) Waiver . The Surviving Corporation may from time to time, in the case of one or more Persons, waive one or more of the rights provided to it in this Article III to withhold certain payments, deliveries and distributions; and no such waiver shall constitute a waiver of its rights to withhold any such payment, delivery or distribution in the case of any Person.

3.04 Treatment of Poage Options and Restricted Stock .

(a) Treatment of Stock Options . Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding option to acquire shares of Poage Common Shares (the “Poage Options”) issued pursuant to Poage’s equity-based compensation plans identified in Section 3.04 of Poage’s Disclosure Schedule (the “Poage Stock Plans”) shall: (i) become fully vested and exercisable (without regard to whether the Poage Options are then vested or exercisable), and (ii) each option holder shall be entitled to receive a cash payment, without interest and less applicable withholding taxes, in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Poage Common Shares subject to the Poage Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Consideration over the exercise price per share of Poage Common Shares subject to such Poage Option as of the Effective Date (the “Option Cash-Out Amount”). The Option Cash-Out Amount shall be paid by Poage to the applicable former option holder at the Effective Time. In the event the exercise price per share of Poage Common Shares subject to a Poage Option is equal to or greater than the Option Cash-Out Amount, such Poage Option shall be cancelled without consideration and have no further force or effect

(b) Treatment of Restricted Stock . Immediately prior to the Effective Time, any vesting restrictions on each share of restricted stock outstanding immediately prior thereto (“ Poage Restricted Stock ”) issued pursuant to the Poage Stock Plans shall automatically lapse and shall be treated as issued and outstanding shares of Poage Common Shares for purposes of this Agreement, including but not limited to, the provisions of Section 3.01.

No party hereto shall be deemed to have breached a representation or warranty as a consequence of the existence of any fact, event or circumstance unless such fact, circumstance or event, individually or taken together with all other facts, events or circumstances inconsistent with any representation or warranty contained in Section 5.03 or 5.04, has had or is reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect without giving any effect to any qualification as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect set forth in such representations and warranties.

5.03 Representations and Warranties of Poage . Subject to Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and except as Previously Disclosed in a Section of its Disclosure Schedule corresponding to the relevant Section below, Poage hereby represents and warrants to City that the following are true and correct:

(a) Organization, Standing and Authority .

(i) Poage is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in any foreign jurisdictions where its ownership or leasing of property or assets or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified. The foreign jurisdictions in which Poage conducts business are set forth in Poage’s Disclosure Schedule Section 5.03(a). Poage is registered as a savings and loan holding company under the HOLA.

(ii) Town Square is a federal savings association chartered under the laws of the United States, and has all the requisite power and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in any foreign jurisdictions where its ownership or leasing of property or assets or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified.

(b) Capital Structure of Poage .

(i) The authorized capital stock of Poage consists of 30,000,000 Poage Common Shares, par value of $0.01 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share (“ Poage Preferred Shares ”). The Poage Common Shares and Poage Preferred Shares are collectively referred to herein as “ Poage Shares .” As of the date hereof, there are: (A) 3,497,243 shares of Poage Common Shares issued and outstanding; and (B) 70,529 Poage Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Poage Option Plan. Additionally, no shares of Poage Preferred Shares are issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance and no Poage Shares are held in treasury by Poage. All of the issued and outstanding Poage Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. Except for the options, plans and other obligations set forth in this Subsection (i), and except as set forth in Poage’s Disclosure Schedule Section 5.03(b), Poage does not have and is not bound by any outstanding or issued Rights with respect to any Poage Shares.

(ii) The Poage Options have been granted in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the applicable Poage Option Plan and all applicable laws. With respect to each Poage Option outstanding as of the date hereof, the name of each optionee, the date of each option to purchase Poage Shares granted, the number of shares subject to each such option and the price at which each such option may be exercised are set forth in Poage’s Disclosure Schedule Section 5.03(b). The exercise price of each Poage Option is no less than the fair market value of the applicable Poage Shares determined on the date of grant of such stock option (and as of any later modification thereof within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code). Each Poage Option intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code has been structured to so qualify.

Upon completion of the Poage merger, the subsidiary bank of Poage and will merge into City National Bank of West Virginia. Upon completion of the Farmers Deposit merger, the subsidiary bank of Farmers Deposit and will merge into City National Bank of West Virginia.

Based upon financial data as of March 31, 2018, the combined company will have $4.8 billion in assets, deposits of $3.9 billion, and gross loans of $3.5 billion, bolstering City’s presence in the Huntington-Ashland and Lexington, Kentucky MSAs. “Our leadership recognized these partnerships as strategic next steps for enhancing our market presence throughout Kentucky and we are fortunate to be making this move forward,” remarked Charles R. (Skip) Hageboeck, President & Chief Executive Officer of City. Both the Poage and Farmers Deposit merger are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018, pending customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals and the approval by the shareholders of Poage and Farmers Deposit.
