Heritage Commerce Corp (HBC), the parent company of Heritage Bank of Commerce (HBC), has signed an agreement to acquire Presidio Bank in an all-stock transaction valued around $200.3m.

Under the terms of the agreement, Presidio shareholders will receive 2.470 shares of Heritage common stock against each Presidio share.

Additionally, three Presidio board members will join the board of directors of Heritage and HBC.

Presidio Bank acquisition

Once complete, Presidio will merge with and into Heritage Bank of Commerce. The merger will increase Heritage’s total assets to nearly $4bn on a pro forma basis. The number of branches will also increase to 17 in the San Francisco Bay Area, following branch consolidation.

Heritage president and CEO Walter Kaczmarek said: “Presidio Bank is a perfect fit for Heritage, as both of our values are aligned with fostering client relationships.

“The combination of our two high quality banking organisations provides the ability to create revenue and cost synergies while offering Presidio’s client base a broader product offering, increased lending limits, and an expanded branch delivery system that now surrounds the San Francisco Bay Area.”
