Insights

Bank M&A and balance sheet analyst

Mid Penn closes a $106.1M bank acquisition that lifts combined assets to about $7B.

Mid Penn has completed its purchase of 1st Colonial in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at approximately $106.1 million. Consideration included about 2,111,076 new Mid Penn shares plus roughly $37.5 million in cash, with shareholders choosing between stock at a 0.6945 exchange ratio and a fixed $18.50 cash price, subject to a 60% stock and 40% cash mix.

The combination grows the franchise to around $7 billion in consolidated assets and deepens presence in the greater Philadelphia and southern New Jersey markets. Strategic impact will depend on how effectively Mid Penn integrates 1st Colonial’s operations, realizes planned efficiencies, and manages any merger-related disruption described in its broader risk discussions.

Governance-wise, former 1st Colonial director Thomas R. Brugger joins the Mid Penn and Mid Penn Bank boards and key board committees. Future financial reports for periods after the February 27, 2026 closing will show how loan growth, deposit retention, and noninterest costs reflect this acquisition.

Introductory Note.

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 24, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Mid Penn”), and 1st Colonial Bancorp, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“1st Colonial”).

Effective on February 27, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), Mid Penn completed its previously announced acquisition of 1st Colonial (the “Closing”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, 1st Colonial merged with and into Mid Penn (the “Merger”) at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), with Mid Penn surviving the Merger. Promptly following the Merger, 1st Colonial Community Bank, a New Jersey-chartered bank and wholly owned subsidiary of 1st Colonial, merged with and into Mid Penn Bank (“Mid Penn Bank”), a Pennsylvania banking institution and wholly owned subsidiary of Mid Penn (the “Bank Merger”), with Mid Penn Bank continuing as the surviving bank in the Bank Merger.

Pursuant to the terms of Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.0 per share, of 1st Colonial (“1st Colonial Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder of such shares of 1st Colonial Common Stock, either (a) 0.6945 of a share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Mid Penn (“Mid Penn Common Stock”) (the “Exchange Ratio”) and cash in lieu of fractional shares or (b) $18.50 per share of 1st Colonial Common Stock (the “Cash Consideration”), subject to adjustment and proration as described in the Merger Agreement, such that 60% of 1st Colonial Common Stock was converted into Mid Penn Common Stock while the remaining 40% of 1st Colonial Common Stock was exchanged for the Cash Consideration.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each option granted by 1st Colonial to purchase shares of 1st Colonial Common Stock (“1st Colonial Option”), whether vested or unvested, outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a single lump sum cash payment by Mid Penn, equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of 1st Colonial Common Stock subject to such 1st Colonial Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) $18.50 over (B) the exercise price per share of such 1st Colonial Option, less any applicable taxes required to be withheld and applicable payroll deductions; provided, however, that if the exercise price per share of any such 1st Colonial Option was equal to or greater than $18.50, such 1st Colonial Option was cancelled at the Effective Time without any cash payment being made in respect thereof.

Each outstanding restricted stock unit granted under 1st Colonial’s equity compensation plans became vested and was settled prior to the Effective Time for one share of 1st Colonial Common Stock (subject to adjustment for any accrued but unpaid dividends and shares withheld to satisfy tax obligations, as provided in the Merger Agreement), which converted into fully vested shares of Mid Penn Common Stock or Cash Consideration, as applicable, at the Effective Time in accordance with the Exchange Ratio.

In connection with the Merger, Mid Penn issued approximately 2,111,076 shares of Mid Penn Common Stock and paid holders of 1st Colonial Common Stock approximately $37.5 million in cash. Each share of Mid Penn Common Stock outstanding prior to the Merger remained outstanding and unaffected by the Merger. The issuance of shares of Mid Penn Common Stock in connection with the Merger was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-291759) filed by Mid Penn with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 24, 2025, as amended, and declared effective on December 19, 2025.
