FIRST INTERNET BANCORP COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF LANDMARK FINANCIAL CORPORATION
INDIANAPOLIS, IN (January 2, 2007) —First Internet Bancorp (“Bancorp”), having previously received all shareholder and regulatory approvals, today announced the completion of its acquisition of Landmark Financial Corporation, effective January 1, 2007. First Internet Bancorp now has two operating subsidiaries: First Internet Bank of Indiana (First IB), which includes the operations of the former Landmark Savings Bank, FSB, and Landmark Mortgage Company.
Under the terms of the agreement, shareholders of Landmark Financial Corporation receive approximately $4.00 per share. The transaction is valued at $12 million.
At this time, First Internet Bank of Indiana will continue to serve its nationwide customer base from its principal location on Indianapolis’ northwest side and will serve former Landmark Savings Bank customers from its branch office on Monument Circle. First IB expects to merge product offerings and systems by the end of the first quarter in order to serve customers uniformly from both locations. Landmark Mortgage Company, with offices in Carmel and southern Marion County, near Greenwood, will continue serving central Indiana as well as other markets.
David B. Becker, Chairman and CEO of First Internet Bancorp, said, “We are very pleased to have completed the acquisition so that we may now begin building upon the strengths of all our employees to provide our customers with superior banking and mortgage products and services."
