Verdant Commercial Capital, LLC. On September 30, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests in Verdant Commercial Capital, LLC (“Verdant”) in an all-cash transaction, which increased the Company’s scale and enhanced the Company’s existing equipment leasing business.
The following table presents the purchase price for the acquisition of Verdant as of September 30, 2025, inclusive of certain purchase price adjustments identified during the measurement period, which ended on September 30, 2026:

1 Represents September 30, 2025, Verdant book value adjusted for certain items, including provision for credit losses and debt prepayment fees, according to the terms of the acquisition agreement.
In the transaction, the Company acquired approximately $1.2 billion of loans and leases, including direct financing leases and equipment under operating lease arrangements. Total consideration for the transaction was approximately $566.9 million, comprising $500.0 million to settle certain debt of Verdant, cash of $36.1 million (adjusted for net purchase price adjustments identified during the measurement period), and potential performance-based cash consideration (“Contingent Consideration”), which was determined to have a fair value of $30.8 million as of September 30, 2025. This Contingent Consideration can be earned over a four-year period commencing with the date of acquisition, and the potential payment of which ranges from zero to $50.0 million based on the return on equity of Verdant. This Contingent Consideration is included in “Accounts payable and other liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. For additional information related to the Contingent Consideration, see Note 3—“Fair Value.”
Upon acquisition, the assets and liabilities of Verdant were adjusted to their respective fair values (with the exception of PCD assets, as further discussed below) as of the closing date of the transaction, including the identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill has been recorded representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is expected to be fully tax-deductible. The goodwill recognized is the result of expected synergies and operational efficiencies, among other factors, and has been assigned to the Banking Business Segment. The Company’s accounting for the acquisition was finalized as of September 30, 2026.
The following table provides the final Verdant purchase consideration allocation as of the date of acquisition, including any purchase price adjustments identified during the measurement period, which ended on September 30, 2026:

The fair value estimates used in valuing certain acquired assets and liabilities are based, in part, on inputs that are unobservable. For loans, these include, but are not limited to, forecasted future cash flows and discount rates and for equipment under operating lease arrangements, cost and market valuation approaches were utilized.
The following table details the intangible assets acquired in the acquisition:
(Dollars in thousands)September 30, 2025Weighted-Average Life (Years)
Vendor relationships$11,200 13.6
Trade name2,600 5.0
Developed technologies5,100 3.0
Total intangible assets acquired$18,900 9.6

The following valuation approaches were utilized to estimate the acquisition-date fair value for the intangible assets acquired:
•Vendor relationships: Fair value was estimated with an income approach using a multi-period excess earnings method which discounts expected future cash flows, taking into account historic customer attrition rates and contributory asset charges, among other factors.
•Trade name: Fair value was estimated with an income approach using a relief-from-royalty method which considers the hypothetical royalty rate the Company would have paid if it did not own the trade name, taking into account discounted expected future cash flows, market royalty rates and expected useful life, among other factors.
•Developed technologies: Fair value was estimated with a cost approach using a replacement cost methodology, taking into account replacement costs, among other factors.
The following table summarizes the PCD loans and leases acquired in the acquisition:

Verdant’s results are included in the Company’s consolidated results from September 30, 2025. Verdant net revenue included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was not significant and Verdant incurred a net loss of $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, reflecting the post-acquisition provision for credit losses on the loans and leases acquired.
The following table shows the Company and Verdant pro forma combined net interest income, non-interest income and net income. The pro forma financial information presented in the table below was computed by combining the historical financial information of the Company and Verdant along with the effects of the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations as though the Company acquired Verdant on July 1, 2024. Also included in the pro forma financial information are certain adjustments, including $1.3 million of acquisition-related costs, as well as adjustments related to amortization expense of the intangible assets acquired in the Verdant acquisition and the elimination of the amortization expense of Verdant’s intangible assets prior to its acquisition by the Company. The pro forma information does not reflect the potential benefits of cost and funding synergies, opportunities to earn additional revenues or other factors and therefore does not represent what the actual net revenues and net income would have been had the Company actually acquired Verdant as of this date.
