Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 3, 2020, MVB Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”), the wholly owned subsidiary of MVB Financial Corp. (the “Company”), entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), as receiver for The First State Bank, Barboursville, West Virginia (“First State”), providing for the assumption by the Bank of certain liabilities and the purchase by the Bank of certain assets of First State. First State depositors will automatically become depositors of the Bank and, subject to the insurance limitations, deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC without interruption.

In the Agreement, the Bank agreed to pay no deposit premium and to acquire the assets at a discount to book value of approximately $28.2 million. The Bank also acquired three branch locations in Barboursville, Teays Valley and Huntington, West Virginia for aggregate consideration of approximately $1.5 million. The Bank further acquired certain other real estate owned (“OREO”) for 47.5% of the book value of such OREO. As of December 31, 2019, the deposits assumed by the Bank had an aggregate balance of approximately $139.5 million, and the First State assets purchased by the Bank were valued at approximately $147.2 million.

The agreement with the FDIC only covers the assets and liabilities of First State. The assets, liabilities and capital stock of First State’s former parent, First Bankshares, Inc., have not been purchased or assumed by the Bank.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated into this report by reference.

MVB Bank Acquires Deposits and Certain Assets of The First State Bank

(FAIRMONT, W.Va.) April 3, 2020 – MVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: MVBF) (“MVB Financial” or “MVB”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary MVB Bank, Inc. (“MVB Bank”) announced that MVB Bank has purchased the deposits and certain assets of The First State Bank (“First State”) through an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The West Virginia Department of Financial Institutions declared First State insolvent today and appointed the FDIC as receiver. The purchase by MVB Bank is effective immediately. As of December 31, 2019, First State had approximately $139.5 million in total deposits.

"We are pleased to welcome the clients of First State to the MVB family and want to assure them that their deposits are safe, secure and readily accessible. It will be business as usual on Saturday at all of the former First State banking centers and drive-thru locations as First State becomes a part of MVB Bank," said Larry F. Mazza, President and CEO, MVB Financial. "As a trusted partner on the financial frontier, we are committed to the success of the clients and communities we serve."

All deposits are being assumed by MVB Bank resulting in no losses to any depositor. Client deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC up to applicable limits, and clients do not need to take any immediate action to maintain that insurance coverage. Over the weekend, First State clients will be able to access their money by writing checks, accessing online banking or using an ATM or their debit card. Banking centers will operate under normal business hours on Saturday. To protect the health and safety of Team Members and clients during the ongoing COVID-19 situation, banking center lobbies will be open by appointment only.

“MVB Bank’s strong financial position has enabled us to complete this strategic purchase. Our solid performance validates our focus on asset quality, liquidity and strong capitalization.” Mazza said. “This acquisition aligns with MVB’s strategy for growth in our core commercial markets in West Virginia and Northern Virginia, which also powers our expanding Fintech vertical.”

Clients of First State with questions about the transaction may call the FDIC directly at 1-800-517-1839.
