Insights

TL;DR: The filing documents a merger with clear consideration alternatives: $41.00 cash per share or 1.14 TowneBank shares.

The filing explicitly ties Old Point to a merger agreement dated April 2, 2025, with TowneBank as counterparty and identifies the merger consideration options: $41.00 per share cash or 1.14 shares of TowneBank common stock. The disclosure covers multiple Form 8-K items commonly associated with a transaction of material consequence, including transfer of listing, changes in control, and modifications to shareholder rights. Exhibit 2.1 is incorporated by reference, indicating the detailed agreement is filed elsewhere. The successor designation and CFO signature indicate corporate transition steps have been completed from a filing perspective.

TL;DR: Multiple governance-related 8-K items are reported, signaling structural and listing changes tied to the merger.

The registrant reported items addressing delisting/continued listing standards, material changes to security holder rights, changes in control, and director/officer appointments or departures, all of which are governance-sensitive disclosures. These items are consistent with a completed merger and the incorporation of the merger agreement as Exhibit 2.1. The filing names a corporate officer on behalf of TowneBank as successor, which is a formal step in documenting the post-transaction governance status.

Item 2.01Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On September 1, 2025, Old Point Financial Corporation, a Virginia corporation (“Old Point”) and The Old Point National Bank of Phoebus, a nationally chartered banking association and wholly owned subsidiary of Old Point (“Old Point National Bank”) completed their previously announced mergers with TowneBank, a Virginia banking corporation (“TowneBank”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 2, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among TowneBank, Old Point and Old Point National Bank, Old Point merged with and into TowneBank (the “Old Point merger”), and immediately thereafter and contemporaneously therewith, Old Point National Bank merged with and into TowneBank (together with the Old Point merger, the “Merger”), with TowneBank surviving the Merger.

 

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of Old Point issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than certain shares held by Old Point, was converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder of such share of Old Point common stock, and subject to the proration and allocation procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement:

 

·$41.00 per share in cash (the “Cash Consideration”); or

 

·1.14 shares of common stock, par value $1.667 per share, of TowneBank (the “Stock Consideration” and together with the Cash Consideration, in each case, without interest, the “Merger Consideration”).

 

At the Effective Time, each restricted share of Old Point common stock that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time fully vested and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, with the same election right as shares of Old Point common stock. Each share of TowneBank common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time remained outstanding and was unaffected by the Merger.

 

As previously announced, the election deadline for holders of Old Point common stock and Old Point restricted stock awards to elect the form of consideration they wished to receive in the Merger, subject to the allocation and proration procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement, was 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 26, 2025. Of the shares of Old Point common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Merger (including the Old Point restricted stock awards that had the same election rights as shares of Old Point common stock), approximately 28.3% of shares timely elected to receive the Cash Consideration (the “cash election shares”), approximately 60.7% of shares timely elected to receive the Stock Consideration (the “stock election shares”) and approximately 10.9% of shares did not make a timely election (the “non-election shares”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and after giving effect to the allocation and proration procedures set forth therein, at the Effective Time, approximately 98.8% of each holder’s stock election shares were converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration, approximately 1.2% of each holder’s stock election shares were converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and all cash election shares and non-election shares were converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, such that 40% of the shares of Old Point common stock (including the Old Point restricted stock awards that had the same election rights as shares of Old Point common stock) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and 60% of the shares of Old Point common stock (including the Old Point restricted stock awards that had the same election rights as shares of Old Point common stock) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration. The Cash Consideration was funded through cash on hand from TowneBank.

 

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to Old Point’s Form 8-K filed on April 7, 2025 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.01Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

As a result of the Merger, Old Point no longer fulfills the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). On August 29, 2025, Old Point notified Nasdaq that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were expected to close on September 1, 2025. Old Point requested that Nasdaq (i) suspend trading in shares of Old Point common stock before the opening of trading on September 2, 2025, (ii) withdraw Old Point common stock from listing on Nasdaq before the opening of trading on September 2, 2025 and (iii) file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a notification of delisting of Old Point common stock on Form 25 under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result, Old Point common stock is no longer listed on Nasdaq.

 

In furtherance of the foregoing, TowneBank, as successor to Old Point, intends to file with the SEC certifications on Form 15 under the Exchange Act to deregister Old Point common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the corresponding immediate suspension of Old Point’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable, and to cease filing any further periodic reports with respect to Old Point since it no longer exists as a separate legal entity as a result of the Merger.
