| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On February 8, 2012, First Savings Bank, F.S.B (“First Savings”), the wholly-owned subsidiary of First Savings Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”), and First Federal Savings Bank of Elizabethtown, Inc. (“First Federal”) executed an Agreement to Purchase Assets and Assume Liabilities (the “Agreement”) with respect to the acquisition by First Savings of First Federal’s four retail banking offices in Indiana. The offices are located in the towns of Corydon, Elizabeth, Lanesville and Georgetown.
Under the terms of the Agreement, First Savings will assume certain deposit liabilities and other liabilities and purchase certain loans and other assets associated with the four banking offices. First Savings will not assume any brokered deposits. First Savings will pay a 3.65% premium on certain assumed deposits, which totaled approximately $99.7 million at December 31, 2011. First Savings also will purchase, at 99.2% of book value, certain performing loans provided that the loans are still performing as of the closing date of the transaction. At December 31, 2011, the loan portfolio to be acquired totaled approximately $35.4 million.
The transaction is expected to close in the early part of the third calendar quarter of 2012 in order to accommodate data processing conversion scheduling. The closing is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.
