Old Point Finl SEC Filings

Fourthstone entities and L. Phillip Stone IV filed a Schedule 13G for Old Point Financial Corp disclosing no beneficial ownership. The filing identifies multiple related reporting persons—an investment adviser, several Fourthstone funds and general partner entities—and states that each holds 0 shares (0.00%) of the company's common stock. The reporting persons expressly certify the securities were not acquired and are not held to influence control of the issuer and are held in the ordinary course of business.

The filing records that ownership thresholds above 5% do not apply and related items about group formation, subsidiary acquisition and dissolution are marked not applicable. In short, this Schedule 13G amendment formally reports that the listed Fourthstone parties do not currently hold a stake in Old Point Financial.

Old Point Financial Corporation (OPOF) reported mixed second-quarter results with a pending merger agreement and modest balance sheet shifts.

Stockholders' equity increased to $118.136 million and accumulated other comprehensive loss narrowed by $1.973 million year-to-date. The company disclosed a shareholder-approved merger agreement with TowneBank offering $41.00 cash or 1.14 TowneBank shares per Old Point share (subject to proration and regulatory approvals).

Old Point Financial Corporation (OPOF) filed a Form 8-K/DEFA14A to provide supplemental disclosures related to its pending merger with TowneBank. Two shareholder suits and several demand letters allege the original proxy statement omitted material information, violating Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. While the companies believe the claims are meritless, they opted to amend the proxy to avoid potential delays, costs and injunction risk.

Key additions include:

• Insertion of a new risk factor highlighting ongoing and potential litigation that could delay or block the transaction and increase indemnification and defense costs.
• Clarification that 13 institutions were contacted during the sale process; 12 entered confidentiality agreements without stand-still clauses, including TowneBank on 13-Jan-2025.
• Expanded valuation detail from KBW’s fairness opinion: for TowneBank comparable companies, price-to-TBV ranged 52%-276% and P/E (LTM) 10.7x-19.4x; for Old Point comparables, price-to-TBV 70%-186% and P/E (LTM) 5.7x-28.2x.
• Additional metrics on 25 selected bank M&A deals, including price-to-TBV 74%-192% and core deposit premiums (4.1%)-13.4%.
• Updated pro-forma impact: merger expected to be EPS-accretive to TowneBank by 8.3% (2026) and 10.1% (2027) but dilutive to tangible book value by 6.0% at closing (assumed 31-Dec-2025).

The companies expressly deny wrongdoing and state the new information is not legally required. Nonetheless, by enhancing transparency they aim to expedite shareholder approval and regulatory clearance.
