Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 21, 2026, Seneca Savings Bank, NA (the “Bank”), the wholly owned subsidiary of Seneca Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), and Seneca Savings Insurance Agency, Inc., doing business as Financial Quest and Financial Quest Retirement Plan Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank (“Financial Quest” and, together with the Bank, the “Sellers”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Boshart Wealth Management, LLC (the “Buyer”) and Gregory Boshart, the Buyer’s sole member and manager.
Under the Agreement, the Sellers will sell to the Buyer substantially all of the business assets of Financial Quest’s financial advisory and investment services business, including its retail investment advisory and brokerage business and its company-sponsored retirement plan services business (collectively, the “Business”) for the purchase price of $1,400,000. For three years following the closing, the Sellers and their affiliates may not compete with the Buyer in connection with the purchased assets, solicit or accept business from the Buyer’s clients, or solicit the Buyer’s employees. At the closing, the Bank will lease to the Buyer a portion of its premises for an initial term of one year at a monthly rent of $2,000 for the first six months and $2,500 for the remaining six months, with a six-month extension option and a mutual right to terminate on three months’ notice. The sale of the Business was completed on October 26, 2026.
The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Agreement has been included to provide stockholders with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, the Bank or the other parties. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement were made solely for purposes of the Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including qualification by disclosure schedules, and may be subject to standards of materiality that differ from those applicable to stockholders. Stockholders should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party.
