Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed, on November 23, 2025, Green Dot Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Green Dot”), entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with CommerceOne Financial Corporation, an Alabama corporation (“CommerceOne”), Compass Sub North, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of CommerceOne (“New CommerceOne” or
the “Combined Company”), Compass Sub East, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New CommerceOne (“Merger Sub One”), and Compass Sub West, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly
owned subsidiary of New CommerceOne (“Merger Sub Two”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (i) Merger Sub One will merge with and into CommerceOne and Merger Sub Two will merge with and into Green Dot
(collectively, the “First Mergers”), with CommerceOne and Green Dot, respectively, surviving the First Mergers; and (ii) following the First Mergers, CommerceOne will merge with and into New CommerceOne, with New CommerceOne surviving under the name
“CommerceOne Financial Corporation” (together with the First Mergers, the “Mergers”).
Also on November 23, 2025, Green Dot entered into a Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) by and among New CommerceOne, Green Dot
and Green Dot OpCo, LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of Smith Ventures, LLC (“OpCo”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, following the First Mergers, (i) Green Dot will convert
into a limited liability company, (ii) Green Dot will distribute the stock of Green Dot Bank, a Utah-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of Green Dot, to Compass Sub Northwest, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned
subsidiary of New CommerceOne, and (iii) OpCo will acquire Green Dot and its non-bank financial technology and related assets and operations (together with the Mergers, the “Proposed Transaction”).
In connection with the Proposed Transaction, New CommerceOne filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 9,
2026, a registration statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-293326, as amended on April 7, 2026, May 1, 2026 and May 7, 2026, and which was declared effective by the SEC on May 8, 2026, containing a proxy statement of Green Dot that also constitutes a
prospectus of New CommerceOne. Green Dot filed a definitive proxy statement and New CommerceOne filed a final prospectus with the SEC on May 8, 2026 (the “proxy statement/prospectus”). Green Dot first mailed the proxy statement/prospectus to its
stockholders on or about May 15, 2026.
Green Dot and CommerceOne will each hold a special meeting of stockholders on June 23, 2026 to consider certain proposals related to the
Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement as further described in the proxy statement/prospectus.
Litigation Related to the Proposed Transaction
Following the announcement of the Proposed Transaction, as of the
date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, three lawsuits challenging the Proposed Transaction have been filed (each, a “Lawsuit” and, collectively, the “Lawsuits”). The first Lawsuit, captioned Phillips v. Green Dot Corporation, et al. (No. 653155/2026), was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York on May 27, 2026. The second Lawsuit, captioned Richardson v. Green Dot Corporation, et al. (No. 653180/2026), was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York on May 28,
2026. The third Lawsuit, captioned Zaccagnino v. J. Chris Brewster et al. (No. 65838/2026), was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York on June 8, 2026.
In addition, Green Dot has received demand letters from counsel representing purported stockholders of Green Dot (the “Demand Letters” and, together with the Lawsuits, the “Matters”). The Matters each allege that, among other things, the proxy
statement/prospectus contains certain disclosure deficiencies and/or incomplete information regarding the Proposed Transaction.
Green Dot and CommerceOne believe that the claims asserted in the Matters are without merit and that no additional disclosure in the proxy
statement/prospectus is required or necessary under applicable laws. However, in order to avoid the risk that the Matters delay or otherwise adversely affect the Proposed Transaction, and to minimize the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in
litigation, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, Green Dot, CommerceOne and New CommerceOne hereby make additional disclosures (the “Supplemental Disclosures”) to supplement the disclosures contained in the proxy statement/prospectus.
Green Dot, CommerceOne, New CommerceOne and their respective boards of directors deny all allegations in the Matters that any additional disclosure was or is required or that they have violated any laws or breached any duties to stockholders in
connection with the proxy statement/prospectus, and none of the Supplemental Disclosures nor any other disclosure in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be construed as an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of
any Supplemental Disclosures.
Supplemental Disclosures to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
The Supplemental Disclosures set forth below supplements the proxy statement/prospectus and should be read in conjunction with the proxy
statement/prospectus, which should be read in its entirety. To the extent that information herein differs from or updates information contained in the proxy statement/prospectus, the information contained herein supersedes the information contained
in the proxy statement/prospectus. Except as otherwise described in the below Supplemental Disclosures or the documents referred to, contained in or incorporated by reference herein, the proxy statement/prospectus, the annexes to the proxy
statement/prospectus and the documents referred to, contained in or incorporated by reference in the proxy statement/prospectus are not otherwise modified, supplemented or amended. All page references below are to pages in the proxy
statement/prospectus, and terms used below shall have the meanings set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus (unless otherwise defined below). For clarity, new text within restated paragraphs and tables from the proxy statement/prospectus is

The disclosure under the section entitled “The Mergers—Background of the Mergers and the Payments Sale” in the proxy

On June 18, 2025, representatives of Stephens contacted representatives of Citi to inform Citi that Smith Ventures was partnering with
CommerceOne in order to better facilitate and structure a potential strategic transaction with Green Dot and to discuss the possibility of a joint transaction proposal by Smith Ventures and CommerceOne. CommerceOne subsequently executed an NDA with
Green Dot on June 19, 2025 and was provided access to due diligence materials. The NDA executed with CommerceOne contained substantially similar terms to the NDAs
entered into with the other potentially interested parties.

The disclosure under the section entitled “The Mergers—Opinion of Green Dot’s Financial Advisor—Summary of Financial Analyses of
Citi—The Green Dot Merger Consideration—Dividend Discount Analysis—Combined Company” in the proxy statement/prospectus is hereby amended by adding the following underlined language in the last paragraph beginning on page 148 of the proxy
statement/prospectus:
|
Citi performed a dividend discount analysis of the Combined Company by calculating the estimated present value (as of June 30, 2026) of (i)
the dividends that the Combined Company was forecasted to generate during the six months ending December 31, 2026 and the years ending December 31, 2027 through December 31, 2031 based on the Adjusted Combined Company Projections (including certain pro forma effects of the Mergers anticipated by Green Dot management) and (ii) a range of estimated terminal values for the Combined Company.
Based on its professional judgment and experience, Citi applied a perpetuity growth rate of 2.0% to 3.0% to the Combined Company’s estimated dividends for the terminal year period, based on the Adjusted Combined Company Projections. The undiscounted terminal value indicated by this analysis, assuming a 2.5% perpetuity growth rate (the midpoint of the selected range) and an 11.5% discount rate (the
midpoint of the selected range noted below), was $996 million. The present value (as of June 30, 2026) of the dividends and implied terminal values were then calculated using a selected range of discount rates of 11.00% to 12.00% (selected by Citi using its professional judgment and experience and application of the capital asset pricing model). This analysis indicated an approximate
implied equity value reference range for the Combined Company of $590 million to $755 million. Accounting for the approximate 72.2% ownership in the Combined Company by Green Dot stockholders as of immediately following the consummation of the
Mergers and the $8.11 of per share cash consideration, this analysis indicated a range of implied value for the Green Dot Merger Consideration of $15.45 to $17.51.

The disclosure under the section entitled “The Mergers—Opinion of Green Dot’s Financial Advisor—Summary of Financial Analyses of
Citi—Green Dot—Dividend Discount Analysis” in the proxy statement/prospectus is hereby amended by adding the following underlined language in the last paragraph beginning on page 149 of the proxy statement/prospectus:
|
Citi performed a dividend discount analysis of Green Dot by calculating the estimated present value (as of September 30, 2025) of (i) the
dividends that Green Dot was forecasted to generate during the three months ending December 31, 2025 and the years ending December 31, 2026 through December 31, 2031 based on the Green Dot Prospective Financial Information and (ii) a range of
estimated terminal values for Green Dot. Based on its professional judgment and experience, Citi applied a perpetuity growth rate of 2.0% to 3.0% to Green Dot’s estimated dividends for the terminal year period, based on the Green Dot Prospective
Financial Information. The undiscounted terminal value indicated by
this analysis, assuming a 2.5% perpetuity growth rate (the midpoint of the selected range) and a 12.63% discount rate (the midpoint of the selected range noted below), was $1,160 million. The present values (as of September 30, 2025)
of the dividends and implied terminal values were then calculated using a selected range of discount rates of 12.00% to 13.25% (selected by Citi using its professional
judgment and experience and application of the capital asset pricing model). This analysis indicated an approximate implied per share equity value reference range, rounded to the nearest $0.05, for Green Dot Class A Common Stock of
$13.15 to $16.30, as compared to the ranges of value for the Green Dot Merger Consideration indicated by Citi’s analyses described under “—Summary of
Financial Analyses of Citi—The Green Dot Merger Consideration.”
| 6. |
The disclosure under the section entitled “The Mergers—Opinion of Green Dot’s Financial Advisor—Summary of Financial Analyses of
Citi—Green Dot—Present Value of Future Share Price Analysis” in the proxy statement/prospectus is hereby amended by adding the following underlined language to the fourth sentence of the first full paragraph on page 150 of the proxy
statement/prospectus:
|
Citi discounted the resulting future equity values per share to September 30, 2025 using a discount rate equal to the midpoint of the range
of Green Dot’s assumed cost of equity of 12.6% (which cost of equity was selected based on the application of Citi’s professional judgment and experience and application
of the capital asset pricing model).
| 7. |
The disclosure under the section entitled “The Mergers—Opinion of Green Dot’s Financial Advisor—Summary of Financial Analyses of
Citi—Certain Additional Information—Equity Research Analyst Price Targets” in the proxy statement/prospectus is hereby amended by adding the following underlined language to and deleting the stricken-through language from the third and fourth
sentences to the fourth full paragraph on page 150 of the proxy statement/prospectus:
|
The range of undiscounted sell-side
analyst price targets for shares of Green Dot Class A Common Stock was $18.00 to $20.00 per share by the two analysts were $18.00 per share and $20.00
per share. To facilitate a comparison with the Green Dot Merger Consideration, Citi discounted the price target range to present value by applying, for a one-year discount period, an illustrative discount rate of 12.63%, which was
selected by Citi based on Green Dot’s assumed cost of equity and application of the capital asset pricing model.
| 8. |
The disclosure under the section entitled “The Mergers—Opinion of Green Dot’s Financial Advisor—Summary of Financial Analyses of
Citi—Certain Additional Information—Premiums Paid Analysis” in the proxy statement/prospectus is hereby amended by adding the following underlined language to the first sentence of the last paragraph beginning on page 150 of the proxy

statement/prospectus is hereby amended by adding the following underlined language to and deleting the stricken-through language from the first sentence of the first full paragraph on page 151 of the proxy statement/prospectus:
|
Citi has acted as financial advisor to Green Dot in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the
Separation Agreement and will receive an aggregate fee, estimated based on information available as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, to be approximately $1314 million for such services, of which $3 million was
payable in connection with the delivery of Citi’s opinion to the Green Dot Board and a significant portion of which $11 million is contingent upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement.
| 10. |
The disclosure under the section entitled “The Mergers—Opinion of CommerceOne’s Financial Advisor—Green Dot Selected Public
Companies Analysis—BaaS Group” in the proxy statement/prospectus is hereby amended by replacing the previously included list of BaaS Group companies on page 154 of the proxy statement/prospectus with the following table and underlined

The disclosure under the section entitled “The Mergers—Opinion of CommerceOne’s Financial Advisor—Green Dot Dividend Discount
Analysis” in the proxy statement/prospectus is hereby amended by (i) deleting the stricken-through last sentence of the first full paragraph and (ii) adding the following underlined language as a new paragraph following the first full
paragraph, in each case, on page 157 of the proxy statement/prospectus:
|
Performance Trust performed a standalone analysis that estimated the net present value of potential dividends that could be distributed to
holders of Green Dot Common Stock during the period reflected in the Green Dot Projections and a terminal value per share for Green Dot. Performance Trust calculated the amount of such dividends by assuming (i) Green Dot performed in accordance with
the Green Dot Projections and (ii) maintenance of a TCE/TA of 8.50% on a standalone basis (as selected by Performance Trust using its professional judgment and experience after taking into account the details of the Green Dot Merger and observed
median ratios for the Green Dot peer groups based on public filings (see tables under Green Dot Comparable Selected Companies Analysis)). To derive an estimate of terminal value per share of Green Dot Common Stock at December 31, 2029, Performance
Trust applied multiples of projected December 31, 2029 TBV ranging from 110% to 130% and projected terminal 2029E Price-to-Earnings (“P/E”) multiple ranging from 9.0x to 11.0x, based on the approximate median multiple for Green Dot comparable public
companies. The terminal values and estimated dividends were then discounted to present values using discount rates ranging from 11.03% to 13.03%, which were selected using Performance Trust’s professional judgment and experience. As illustrated in the following tables, the analysis indicated a range of per share values of Green Dot Common Stock of $6.17 to $8.09 based on TBV multiple terminal
value methodology and $9.03 to $12.13 based on P/E multiple terminal value methodology.
The terminal Price-to-Tangible Book Value and Price-to-Earnings multiples selected in the dividend discount model analysis were derived
from, and are consistent with, the trading multiples observed across the selected group of publicly traded comparable companies as of the valuation date. This approach reflects standard valuation practices, under which terminal multiples are
benchmarked to observable market data for companies with similar financial profiles, business characteristics, and risk attributes.

The 25th percentile, median (50th percentile), and 75th percentile transaction metrics reflected in Performance Trust’s analysis were calculated directly from the
transaction data set forth in the table above. For each metric (including Price/TBV and LTM EPS multiples), the values for all transactions in the group were ranked in ascending order, and the 25th percentile, median (50th percentile), and
75th percentile were determined using standard statistical interpolation across the ranked dataset. No transactions were excluded from the percentile calculations after the initial transaction group was established.

Performance Trust’s analysis was based on the metrics set forth in the table above, which were selected using Performance Trust’s professional judgment as the most
relevant indicators of relative valuation for the selected transactions.

Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the
protections of, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed to be
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, certain plans, expectations, goals, projections, and statements about the benefits or costs of the proposed transactions, the plans, objectives,
expectations and intentions of Green Dot, CommerceOne, and OpCo, including future financial and operating results (including the anticipated impact of the proposed transactions), statements related to the expected timing of the completion of the
proposed transactions, the plans, objectives, expectations and intentions of Compass Sub North, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of CommerceOne (to be renamed “CommerceOne Financial Corporation” as
part of the proposed transactions), following the consummation of the proposed transactions described herein, and other statements that are not historical facts. You can identify these forward-looking statements through the use of words such as
“expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “predicts,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “continues,” “endeavors,” “strives,” “may” and “assumes,” variations of such words and similar expressions of
the future or otherwise regarding the outlook for Green Dot’s, CommerceOne’s or the combined company’s future businesses and financial performance and/or the performance of the banking industry and economy in general.
Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and
unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Green Dot, CommerceOne or the combined company to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied
by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the information known to, and current beliefs and expectations of, Green Dot or CommerceOne and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may
differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Many of
these factors are beyond Green Dot’s, CommerceOne’s or the combined company’s ability to control or predict, and there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete. These factors include, among others, (1)
the risk that the cost savings and synergies from the proposed transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer than anticipated to be realized, (2) disruption to Green Dot’s business and to CommerceOne’s business as a result of the
announcement and pendency of the proposed transaction, (3) the risk that the integration of Green Dot’s and CommerceOne’s respective businesses and operations, or the separation of Green Dot’s non-bank fintech businesses from Green Dot Bank, will
be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult than expected, including as a result of unexpected factors or events, (4) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the closing of the transactions among Green Dot, CommerceOne and OpCo,
including the failure to obtain the necessary approvals by the stockholders of Green Dot or CommerceOne, (5) the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the transactions, (6) the ability by each of Green Dot, CommerceOne and OpCo
to obtain required governmental approvals of the proposed transactions on the timeline expected, or at all, and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company after the
closing of the proposed transaction or adversely affect the expected benefits of the proposed transactions, (7) reputational risk and the reaction of Green Dot’s or CommerceOne’s customers, suppliers, employees or other business partners to the
proposed transactions, (8) challenges retaining or hiring key personnel following the proposed transactions, (9) any unexpected delay in closing the proposed transactions or the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give
rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement or Separation Agreement, (10) the dilution caused by the issuance of shares of the combined company’s common stock in the transaction, (11) the possibility that the proposed transactions may be more
expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events, (12) risks related to management and oversight of the business and operations of the combined company and the separation of Green Dot’s non-bank fintech
business from Green Dot Bank and the combined company, (13) the possibility the combined company is subject to additional regulatory requirements or consent orders as a result of the proposed transactions, (14) the outcome of any legal or
regulatory proceedings or governmental inquiries or investigations that may be currently pending or later instituted against Green Dot, CommerceOne or the combined company, and (15) general competitive, economic, political, regulatory and market
conditions and other factors that may affect future results of Green Dot, CommerceOne and the combined company, including changes in asset quality and credit risk; the inability to sustain or achieve revenue and earnings growth; changes in interest
rates and capital markets; inflation; customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices; the ability to raise or maintain liquidity, funding, and capital; the impact, extent and timing of technological changes; capital management
activities; fraudulent or other illegal activity involving the products and services of Green Dot, CommerceOne or the combined company; cybersecurity risks, including cyber-attacks or security breaches; fluctuations in operating results; changes in
legislation, regulation, policies or administrative practices and the ability to comply with such changes in a timely manner; and changes in the monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government. Additional factors which could affect future
results of Green Dot can be found in Green Dot’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including in Green Dot’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as amended, under the captions
“Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors,” and Green Dot’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations and
speak only as of the date that they are made. Green Dot, CommerceOne and OpCo do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as otherwise may be
required by law.
Additional Information about the Transaction and Where to Find It
New CommerceOne filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-293326) with the SEC on February 10, 2026, as amended on April 7,
2026, May 1, 2026 and May 7, 2026 to register the shares of New CommerceOne common stock that will be issued to CommerceOne stockholders and Green Dot stockholders in connection with the proposed transactions. The registration statement includes a
proxy statement of Green Dot and CommerceOne that also constitutes a prospectus of New CommerceOne. The registration statement was declared effective on May 8, 2026, at which time Green Dot filed a definitive proxy statement and New CommerceOne
filed a final prospectus. Green Dot and CommerceOne each commenced mailing of the proxy statement/prospectus to their respective stockholders on or about May 15, 2026. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND
PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS (AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS OR INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS) BECAUSE SUCH DOCUMENTS CONTAIN OR WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT
INFORMATION REGARDING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED MATTERS.
Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of these documents and other documents filed with the SEC by Green Dot or New
CommerceOne through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. Documents filed with the SEC by Green Dot will also be available free of charge by contacting the investor relations department of Green Dot at IR@greendot.com or by
clicking on “Financial Information” in the Investor Relations section of Green Dot's website at http://ir.greendot.com/.
Before making any voting or investment decision, investors and security holders of Green Dot and CommerceOne are urged to read carefully the
entire registration statement and proxy statement/prospectus, including any amendments thereto, because they contain or will contain important information about the proposed transactions. Free copies of these documents may be obtained as described
above.
Participants in the Solicitation
Green Dot and CommerceOne and certain of their respective directors and executive officers and other members of management and employees may
be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from Green Dot’s stockholders in respect of the proposed transactions under the rules of the SEC. Information about the directors and executive officers of Green Dot and CommerceOne is
included in the registration statement. Information regarding Green Dot’s directors and executive officers is also available in Green Dot’s Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Green Dot
10-K/A”), which was filed with the SEC on April 30, 2026, and in other documents subsequently filed by Green Dot with the SEC, which can be obtained free of charge through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. Any changes in the
holdings of Green Dot’s securities by Green Dot’s directors or executive officers from the amounts described in the Green Dot 10-K/A have been or will be reflected on Initial Statements of Beneficial Ownership of Securities on Form 3 or on
Statements of Change in Ownership on Form 4 filed with the SEC subsequent to the filing date of the Green Dot 10-K/A and are available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
No Offer or Solicitation
This Current Report on Form 8-K relates to the proposed transactions and is for informational purposes only and is not intended to, and does
not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
