FirstSun Capital Bancorp used its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings call to reiterate confidence in its pending merger with First Foundation Inc. Management said integration planning and balance sheet optimization are progressing well and that expected cost-saving synergies already factor in infrastructure needs for the combined company.
They highlighted plans to expand the commercial and industrial sales force in Texas and Southern California, using First Foundation’s newer markets, and to apply FirstSun’s retail strategy in Southern California branches. Management emphasized liquidity and funding repricing as part of balance sheet repositioning, aiming to lower higher-cost term funding over several quarters after closing.
They see opportunities to deepen deposit and treasury management relationships, particularly with multifamily investors who hold significant cash, and stated that recent interest rate cuts have not changed their financial expectations for the transaction. Pro forma merger guidance remains unchanged, although they remain “extremely excited” about post-closing prospects.
FirstSun Capital Bancorp filed a communication about its proposed merger with First Foundation Inc., highlighting that management is encouraged by progress on operational integration planning and balance sheet optimization with the First Foundation team. The text primarily provides a detailed cautionary note on forward-looking statements, listing numerous economic, interest rate, liquidity, regulatory and integration risks that could cause actual results and merger outcomes to differ from expectations, including the possibility the merger may not close or may not achieve anticipated cost savings and synergies. It also notes that FirstSun’s Form S-4 registration statement for shares to be issued in the merger has been declared effective, and that a joint proxy statement/prospectus has been mailed to stockholders, directing investors to SEC and company websites for free access to these documents.
FirstSun Capital Bancorp filed an update covering recent financial communications and board changes. The company issued an earnings press release with results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, and posted a related investor presentation on its website, both of which will be used for an earnings conference call and future investor conferences.
Director Diane L. Merdian announced her intention to resign from the boards of the company and its bank subsidiary, effective at the earlier of the closing of FirstSun’s proposed merger with First Foundation Inc. or the 2026 annual stockholders’ meeting. The board appointed Peter E. Murphy, founder and CEO of Wentworth Capital Management, as a Class III director with a term expiring at the 2026 annual meeting and as a director of the bank. He joined several board committees and received a one-time grant of 50 shares of common stock to meet bank regulatory ownership requirements and will participate in standard non-employee director compensation programs.
FirstSun Capital Bancorp director receives small stock grant
Director Peter E. Murphy reported acquiring 50 shares of FirstSun Capital Bancorp common stock on January 23, 2026. The shares were issued as a vested stock grant at a price of $0 per share, bringing his directly held beneficial ownership to 50 shares. According to the footnote, this grant was made to the director specifically to satisfy bank regulatory ownership requirements, indicating it is a compliance-driven award rather than an open-market purchase.
FirstSun Capital Bancorp director Peter E. Murphy filed an initial ownership report on Form 3. The filing states that, as of the event date of 01/23/2026, he does not beneficially own any FirstSun Capital Bancorp securities. The report confirms his role as a director and indicates that there are no non-derivative or derivative securities listed as owned, either directly or indirectly.
FirstSun Capital Bancorp plans to issue approximately 18,960,810 shares of common stock to acquire First Foundation Inc. in an all‑stock merger. Each First Foundation common share will be exchanged for 0.16083 FirstSun share, with cash paid instead of fractional shares, implying consideration of about $6.46 and $6.26 per share based on specified past FirstSun prices. Preferred shares and warrants will convert into FirstSun stock, with warrant holders also sharing an aggregate $17.5 million cash payment. After closing, legacy FirstSun stockholders are expected to own about 59.5% of the combined company and legacy First Foundation stockholders about 40.5%. The deal is intended to qualify as a tax‑free reorganization for most U.S. holders and will create a Southwest‑focused bank with roughly $17 billion in assets, subject to stockholder and regulatory approvals.
FirstSun Capital Bancorp filed an amended Form S-4 to register approximately 18,960,810 shares of common stock to be issued in its stock-for-stock merger with First Foundation Inc. Each First Foundation common share will convert into 0.16083 FirstSun share, with cash paid only for fractional shares, and preferred shares convert based on their 1,000:1 common-stock equivalence.
The combined bank is expected to have about $17 billion in assets, with legacy FirstSun holders owning roughly 59.5% and legacy First Foundation holders about 40.5% of FirstSun after closing. A balance sheet repositioning plan will sell, securitize or run off select First Foundation loans and reduce higher-cost funding to strengthen capital, credit profile, and liquidity.
The merger is intended to be a tax-free reorganization for U.S. holders (except for cash in lieu of fractional shares), and includes $17.5 million of fixed cash consideration to cashlessly exercising warrant holders. Both boards unanimously recommend the deal, supported by fairness opinions and voting support agreements covering about 33% of each company’s common stock. Special meetings are set for February 27, 2026, with required votes on the merger, an authorized share increase, and creation of a non-voting common class that can be elected by holders exceeding a 4.99% ownership threshold.
FirstSun Capital Bancorp received an amended Schedule 13G/A from several Wellington Management entities reporting a significant ownership position in its common stock. The Wellington reporting group, including Wellington Management Group LLP and related affiliates, reports beneficial ownership of 2,880,385 shares of FirstSun common stock, representing 10.3% of the class as of the event date. All of these shares are reported with shared voting and shared dispositive power, and no shares are held with sole voting or dispositive authority.
The securities are owned of record by clients of the Wellington investment advisers, meaning the economic interest belongs to those clients rather than the advisers themselves. The filing notes that, among those clients, Bay Pond Partners, L.P. is an exception to the general statement that no client holds more than five percent of the class. Wellington certifies that the shares were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of changing or influencing control of FirstSun Capital Bancorp.
FirstSun Capital Bancorp filed an amended current report to correct the signature date on a prior disclosure about a new board representation arrangement and related governance changes. The company entered into a Board Representative Letter Agreement with Castle Creek Capital Partners IX, LP on December 3, 2025. Beginning with the earlier of the closing of FirstSun’s proposed merger with First Foundation Inc. or the 2026 annual shareholders meeting, FirstSun will use its best efforts to place a Castle Creek designee on its board and recommend that nominee to stockholders. Castle Creek also may appoint a nonvoting board observer when it has no board representative, with these rights continuing while it holds at least 40% of its current share position. On the same date, director Isabella Cunningham notified the company she will resign effective at the earlier of the merger closing or the 2026 meeting, and FirstSun plans to maintain board size to accommodate Castle Creek’s nominee.
