In connection with the transaction, Huntington will also buy nearly $450m in deposits, for a deposit premium of 3.5 % based on deposit balances near the time the transaction closes.
Pending receipt of regulatory approvals as well as customary closing conditions, the transaction is expected to conclude during the second half of 2014.
Huntington chairman, president and CEO, Stephen Steinour, said, "We look forward to welcoming these new Michigan customers to Huntington as we enhance our branch service network in an important part of the state."
Following the acquisition, Huntington’s branch network will expand into Midland, Alma, Port Huron, Gratiot, St. Clair, Algonac and Richmond. The introduction of Huntington in-store Meijer branch locations will enable the lender to grow in the Saginaw and Bay City areas.
