The current environment will present many community banks the opportunity to evaluate some type of merger or acquisition transaction. Some community banks have seasoned veterans that have been through this process a number of times. However, most community bank officers and directors have never been through an actual acquisition transaction. This presentation will prepare community bank officers and directors for a potential merger or acquisition by presenting a step-by-step overview of the merger and acquisition process from beginning to end.

The presentation will cover the 10 steps of a community bank acquisition transaction, including the initial "dance" between the buyer and seller, valuation techniques, structure and documentation issues, regulatory applications and the completion of the transaction, including the exchange of consideration. This presentation will be full of practical advice on each step of the process and will provide your officers and directors with the information needed to fully understand the community bank mergers and acquisitions process.
