Green Dot (GDOT) agrees $690M payments sale, merges into New CommerceOne (CONE)
Green Dot Corporation (GDOT) and privately held CommerceOne Financial Corporation have agreed to combine under a merger framework that creates a new public holding company, New CommerceOne. Under the Merger Agreement, each Green Dot share will convert into 0.2215 shares of New CommerceOne and $8.11 cash; each CommerceOne share will convert into one New CommerceOne share. Concurrently, Green Dot’s non-bank payments business will be sold to Payments Buyer for $690 million pursuant to a Separation Agreement, with Green Dot Bank remaining with the Combined Company. Closing is conditioned on stockholder approvals, regulatory clearances and other customary conditions; special meetings are set for June 23, 2026. The Green Dot Board unanimously recommends approval.

Insights
Transaction structure: stock-plus-cash merger with concurrent carve-out sale of payments business.
The deal converts Green Dot equity into 0.2215 shares of New CommerceOne plus $8.11 cash per Green Dot share, while CommerceOne shareholders receive one New CommerceOne share each. The Separation Agreement contemplates a $690 million cash payment for Green Dot’s non-bank payments assets; proceeds are expected to fund the per-share cash component and reduce indebtedness.
Key dependencies include stockholder approvals at both companies, NYSE listing approval for New CommerceOne, regulatory clearances and satisfaction of standard closing conditions. Subsequent governance and management composition are specified in the Merger Agreement.
Distinct tax treatment for CommerceOne vs. Green Dot stockholders.
The CommerceOne-side exchanges are intended to qualify as a Section 368(a) reorganization, generally tax-free to CommerceOne holders. By contrast, Green Dot holders will recognize taxable gain or loss on the stock-plus-cash exchange, subject to the potential application of Section 304 of the Code, which could recharacterize consideration as dividend income in certain circumstances.
Shareholders should consult tax advisors because individual outcomes depend on basis, holding period and whether Section 304 applies; the proxy directs readers to the detailed tax section beginning on page 211.

Q: | Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus? |
A: | You are receiving this proxy statement/prospectus because CommerceOne and Green Dot have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 23, 2025 (as may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Merger Sub One will merge with and into CommerceOne, with CommerceOne surviving as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of New CommerceOne (the “CommerceOne Merger”), and concurrently, Merger Sub Two will merge with and into Green Dot, with Green Dot surviving as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Merger Sub Two Holdco (the “Green Dot Merger,” together with the CommerceOne Merger, the “First Mergers”); and (ii) CommerceOne will then merge with and into New CommerceOne, with New CommerceOne surviving under the name “CommerceOne Financial Corporation” (the “Upstream Merger” and together with the CommerceOne Merger and the Green Dot Merger, the “Mergers”). Between the completion of (i) and (ii) of the foregoing sentence, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Separation Agreement, (a) Green Dot will convert into a limited liability company, (b) Green Dot will distribute the stock of Green Dot Bank to Merger Sub Two Holdco, and (c) Payments Buyer will acquire Green Dot and its non-bank financial technology and related assets and operations (clauses (a) through (c), collectively, the “Payments Sale”). As a result of the Mergers, New CommerceOne will become a publicly traded company and acquire and retain Green Dot Bank as its wholly-owned subsidiary. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A to this document, and a copy of the Separation Agreement is attached as Annex B to this document. In this proxy statement/prospectus, we refer to the time at which the First Mergers become effective as the “First Effective Time.” We refer to the time at which the Upstream Merger becomes effective as the “Second Effective Time,” the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement as the “Closing,” the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement as the “Separation Closing” and the date on which the Closing and the Separation Closing occurs as the “Closing Date.” |
• | CommerceOne stockholders must approve with affirmative consent by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of CommerceOne Common Stock (such approval, the “requisite CommerceOne stockholder approval”) the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers and the principal terms thereof (the “CommerceOne Mergers Proposal”). |
• | Green Dot stockholders must approve (such approval, the “requisite Green Dot stockholder approval”) the adoption of the Merger Agreement (the “Green Dot Merger Proposal”) and the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement (the “Green Dot Separation Proposal”). |
• | a proposal to approve and adopt the New CommerceOne 2026 Equity Incentive Plan (the “New CommerceOne 2026 Equity Incentive Plan Proposal”); and |
• | a proposal to adjourn the CommerceOne Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the CommerceOne Special Meeting to approve the CommerceOne Mergers Proposal (the “CommerceOne Adjournment Proposal”). |
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q: | What will happen in the Mergers? |
A: | In the Mergers, Merger Sub One will merge with and into CommerceOne, with CommerceOne surviving as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of New CommerceOne, and concurrently, Merger Sub Two will merge with and into Green Dot, with Green Dot surviving as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Merger Sub Two Holdco. CommerceOne will then merge with and into New CommerceOne, with New CommerceOne surviving under the name “CommerceOne Financial Corporation” in the Upstream Merger. Following the consummation of the Mergers, New CommerceOne will become a publicly traded company and acquire and retain Green Dot Bank as its wholly-owned subsidiary. We refer to the resulting New CommerceOne following the Mergers as the “Combined Company.” |
Q: | What will CommerceOne stockholders receive in the Mergers? |
A: | Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the First Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of CommerceOne Common Stock, par value $1.00, will be converted into the right to receive one share of New CommerceOne Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “CommerceOne Merger Consideration”), less any withholding and without interest, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, except, to the extent applicable, for shares of CommerceOne owned by New CommerceOne, CommerceOne or Green Dot, in each case other than shares (x) held in certain accounts or a fiduciary or agency capacity that are beneficially owned by third parties or (y) held by CommerceOne or Green Dot in respect of debts previously contracted, and CommerceOne Dissenting Shares. |

Q: | Will the exchange ratio of the applicable merger consideration change between the date of this proxy statement/prospectus and the time the Mergers are completed? |
A: | No. The Exchange Ratio, the Per Share Cash Consideration and the exchange ratio in respect of shares of CommerceOne Common Stock are fixed as of the time of the signing of the Merger Agreement. If, prior to the First Effective Time, the outstanding shares of New CommerceOne Common Stock, CommerceOne Common Stock or Green Dot Common Stock will have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, or there will be any extraordinary dividend or distribution, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment will be made to the Exchange Ratio and the Per Share Cash Consideration to give New CommerceOne and CommerceOne and the holders of Green Dot Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by the Merger Agreement prior to such event. |

If you fail to submit a proxy prior to the Green Dot Special Meeting, to vote at the Green Dot Special Meeting via the Green Dot Special Meeting website or do not instruct your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee how to vote your shares at the Green Dot Special Meeting if you hold your shares in “street name,” your shares of Green Dot Common Stock will not be counted towards a quorum. Abstentions are considered present for purposes of establishing a quorum.

Q: | What is a “broker non-vote”? |
A: | A broker non-vote occurs when a bank, broker, trustee or other nominee is not permitted to vote on a “non-routine” matter without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and the beneficial owner fails to provide the bank, broker, trustee or other nominee with such instructions. Broker non-votes only count toward a quorum if at least one proposal is presented with respect to which the bank, broker, trustee or other nominee has discretionary authority. It is expected that all proposals to be voted on at the Green Dot Special Meeting will be “non-routine” matters, and, as such, broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum at the Green Dot Special Meeting. |
Q: | What if I abstain or fail to vote? |
A: | For purposes of the Green Dot Special Meeting, an abstention occurs when a Green Dot stockholder attends the Green Dot Special Meeting and does not vote or returns a proxy with an “ABSTAIN” instruction. Abstentions will be included in determining the number of shares present at the meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. |
• | Proposal 1: Green Dot Merger Proposal: If you are present at the Green Dot Special Meeting and abstain from voting, or respond by proxy with an “ABSTAIN,” such abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Green Dot Merger Proposal. Failure to vote on the Green Dot Merger Proposal will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Green Dot Merger Proposal. If you are not present at the Green Dot Special Meeting, do not respond by proxy or do not provide Broadridge or your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee with instructions, as applicable, such failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Green Dot Merger Proposal. |
• | Proposal 2: Green Dot Separation Proposal: If you are present at the Green Dot Special Meeting and abstain from voting, or respond by proxy with an “ABSTAIN,” such abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Green Dot Separation Proposal. Failure to vote on the Green Dot Separation Proposal will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Green Dot Separation Proposal. If you are not present at the Green Dot Special Meeting, do not respond by proxy or do not provide Broadridge or your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee with instructions, as applicable, such failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Green Dot Separation Proposal. |

• | Proposal 4: Green Dot Adjournment Proposal: Abstentions, broker non-votes and failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. |
Q: | Why is my vote important? |
A: | If you do not vote, it will be more difficult for Green Dot to obtain the necessary approval that the Green Dot Board is recommending and seeking. If you are present at the Green Dot Special Meeting and abstain from voting, or respond by proxy with an “ABSTAIN,” such abstention will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Green Dot Merger Proposal and the Green Dot Separation Proposal. Failure to vote on the Green Dot Merger Proposal and the Green Dot Separation Proposal will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Green Dot Merger Proposal and the Green Dot Separation Proposal, respectively.

Q: | What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the CommerceOne Mergers to CommerceOne stockholders? |
A: | The CommerceOne Mergers, taken together, are intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Accordingly, U.S. holders of CommerceOne Common Stock generally will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the exchange of CommerceOne Common Stock for New CommerceOne Common Stock in the CommerceOne Mergers. |
Q: | Who can help answer my questions? |
A: | If you are a CommerceOne stockholder and have any questions about the Mergers or how to submit your proxy or voting instruction card, or if you need additional copies of this document or the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card, you should contact CommerceOne by calling (205) 545-5745. |

(1) | Cash. The cash severance amounts payable to each of the named executive officers equals the sum of twelve (12) months of the executive officer’s base salary plus a prorated bonus based on target performance for the year of termination. Such cash severance amounts are neither “single trigger” nor “double trigger,” as they are payable upon a termination of employment by Green Dot due to the executive officer’s termination without “cause,” whether or not such termination of employment occurs in connection with a corporate transaction involving Green Dot.

(2) | Equity. The values set forth in the golden parachute table include accelerated vesting of certain Green Dot RSU Awards upon the First Effective Time which would have vested, in accordance with their terms, upon the First Effective Time; this accelerated vesting is a “single trigger” benefit. As of April 27, 2026, there are no unvested Green Dot RSUs held by any of named executive officers that would vest on or prior to June 30, 2026. The values also include the accelerated vesting of Green Dot PSU Awards granted in fiscal year 2025 upon the First Effective Time, determined assuming the achievement of 150% of the target level of performance in respect of the 2025 performance year, and 100% of the target level of performance in respect of the 2026 and 2027 performance years; this accelerated vesting is likewise a “single trigger” benefit. Any Green Dot Equity Awards that would not vest as described in the two immediately preceding sentences (none of which are held by Mr. Jacobs) are assumed to have been forfeited for no consideration in respect thereof in accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement, under the assumption that the employment of each of the named executive officers (other than Mr. Jacobs) will transfer to Payments Buyer at the First Effective Time. For further details regarding the treatment of Green Dot Equity Awards in connection with the transaction, see “—Interests of Certain Green Dot Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers and the Payments Sale—Treatment of Outstanding Equity Awards”. The estimated values of such awards are shown in the following table: |

(3) | Perquisites/Benefits. The values set forth in the golden parachute table reflect the cost of twelve (12) months of COBRA premium reimbursements for each named executive officer. Such amounts represent the maximum entitlement to which each named executive officer may be eligible under the Green Dot Severance Policy, and are neither “single trigger” nor “double trigger,” as they are payable upon the named executive officer’s termination of employment by Green Dot without “cause”, whether or not such termination of employment occurs in connection with a corporate transaction involving Green Dot. For further information, see “—Interests of Certain Green Dot Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers and the Payments Sale—Green Dot Severance Policy.” |
(4) | Retention. The values set forth in the golden parachute table reflect the payment of the second installment of the “single trigger” cash retention awards granted to each of Mses. Pugh and Watkins and Messrs. Ruppel and Unruh. Such amounts are eligible to vest upon the earlier of the First Effective Time and June 30, 2026. For further details regarding the existing cash retention awards, see “—Interests of Certain Green Dot Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers and the Payments Sale—Existing Retention Awards.” Since the bonus payable to Mr. Jacobs on the Closing Date is discretionary, no amount is included in these tables. For further details regarding the discretionary bonus, see “—Interests of Certain Green Dot Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers and the Payments Sale—Mr. Jacobs’s Discretionary Bonus.” |

(10) | Represents a contractual interest expense on an issuance of $65.0 million in subordinated notes incurred by CommerceOne, net of the reduction of interest expense from the retirement of Green Dot’s senior unsecured notes. We have assumed an interest rate of 7% on the subordinated debt for purposes of these pro forma statements, which reflects the approximate interest rate available at the time of the transaction. These adjustments resulted in a net reduction of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. |

(14) | Represents the amortization expense associated with identifiable intangible assets acquired, as discussed in Note 3, of $2.1 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025. The amount of this adjustment may change as we finalize our purchase price allocation. |
(15) | Reflects the estimated $4.4 million make-whole payment to the lenders for the early retirement of Green Dot’s senior unsecured notes. |
(16) | Reflects the tax effects of the pro forma transaction adjustments at the applicable statutory income tax rate and the removal of the historical income tax expense associated with the Business as a result of the sale to Payments Buyer. |
(17) | Reflects the effect of the Master Services Agreement (the “MSA”) that Payments Buyer and Green Dot Bank will enter into in connection with the Separation Agreement. The proposed MSA changes the economic structure between Green Dot Bank and the Business to reflect negotiated terms. The adjustments are presented as follows: “Program Economics” reflect certain revenue and expenses that were historically recorded on Green Dot Bank’s financial statements under the prior intercompany arrangement that will transfer to the Business following the Payments Sale. The amounts represent the actual results recorded in Green Dot Bank’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. No estimates or assumptions are required to calculate the Program Economics adjustments. “New MSA Terms” reflect the new revenues and expenses that Green Dot Bank will recognize under the MSA on negotiated terms, while removing the historical intercompany economics. The MSA economics are primarily driven by interchange revenues generated by the account programs administered through the Business and issued by Green Dot Bank and associated interchange-related expenses, as well as fees based on the size of the deposit base maintained at Green Dot Bank in support of certain programs, among other items. These adjustments have been calculated based on the terms of the agreed form of MSA and are subject to change if the final terms of the MSA differ from those described herein, although the parties have no current expectation of any such change. “TSA and Other Costs” reflect the estimated cost of a customary short-term transition services agreement to be entered into between New CommerceOne and the Business, with scope and terms to be negotiated prior to the Closing Date. The related adjustments of $1.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 reflect our best estimate of these costs and are subject to change. The adjustments include the following: |

TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | Loans for real estate construction and land development are repaid through cash flow related to the operations, sale or refinance of the underlying property. This portfolio class includes extensions of credit to real estate developers or investors where repayment is dependent on the sale of the real estate or income generated from the real estate collateral. |
• | Residential mortgages include 1-4 family first mortgage loans which are repaid by various means such as a borrower’s income, sale of the property, or rental income derived from the property. |
• | Commercial real estate mortgage loans include both owner-occupied commercial real estate loans and other commercial real estate loans such as commercial loans secured by income producing properties. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans made to operating businesses are long-term financing of land and buildings and are repaid by cash flows generated from business operations. Real estate loans for income-producing properties such as apartment buildings, office and industrial buildings, and retail shopping centers are repaid from rent income derived from the properties. |
• | Other real estate loans include real estate loans secured by multifamily properties, second liens, or open end real estate loans, such as home equity lines. These loans are typically repaid in the same means as 1-4 family first mortgages. |

• | Pass - includes obligations where the probability of default is considered low. |
• | Special Mention - includes obligations that exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends deserving management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects or credit position at a future date. These loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. |
• | Substandard - includes obligations with defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt. A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or by the collateral pledged, if any. Normal repayment from the borrower is in jeopardy although no loss of principal is envisioned. There is a distinct possibility that a partial loss of interest and/or principal will occur if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard loans, does not have to exist in individual loans classified substandard. |
• | Doubtful - includes obligations with all the weaknesses found in substandard loans with the added provision that the weaknesses make collection of debt in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. Serious problems exist to the point where partial loss of principal is likely. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important, reasonably specific pending factors that may work to strengthen the loan, the loans’ classification as loss is deferred until a more exact status may be determined. |
• | Loss - includes obligations incapable of repayment or unsecured debt. Such loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value, that continuance as an active asset is not warranted. Loans determined to be a loss are charged off at the date of loss determination. Consequently, there are no loans with a loss rating in the Company’s portfolio as of December 31, 2025 or 2024. |

(2) | Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation, or by the terms of a resolution providing for conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, pursuant to § 251, § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263, § 264, § 266 or § 390 of this title to accept for such stock anything except: |

(3) | In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation. |
(4) | [Repealed.] |
(1) | If a proposed merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations or the converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation, and shall include in such notice either a copy of this section (and, if 1 of the constituent corporations or the converting corporation is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title) or information directing the stockholders to a publicly available electronic resource at which this section (and, § 114 of this title, if applicable) may be accessed without subscription or cost. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, the surviving, resulting or converted entity shall notify each stockholder of each constituent or converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, and any beneficial owner who has demanded appraisal under paragraph (d)(3) of this section, of the date that the merger, consolidation or conversion has become effective; or |
(2) | If the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation before the effective date of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance, or the surviving, resulting or converted entity within 10 days after such effective date, shall notify each stockholder of any class or series of stock of such constituent, converting, transferring, domesticating or continuing corporation who is entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger, consolidation, conversion, transfer, domestication or |
