QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING
TREATMENT OF RESTRICTED STOCK IN THE MERGER
As described in a press release dated May 5, 2014, SP Bancorp, Inc. (“Company A”) has entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Green Bancorp, Inc. (“Company B”) and Searchlight Merger Sub Corp. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Company B) (“Merger Sub”) dated as of
May 5, 2014, pursuant to which, if the transaction is completed, Merger Sub will merge with and into Company A (the “Merger”), with Company A surviving and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Company B. The completion
of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including receipt of regulatory approval and approval by Company A’s stockholders. If the Merger is completed, all shares of Company A’s common stock will be exchanged
for cash. Your unvested shares of Company A restricted stock will be impacted by the completion of the Merger. This Q&A provides a brief overview regarding the treatment of your currently unvested shares of Company A restricted stock in
connection with the Merger. This Q&A is a summary of the treatment of unvested shares of Company A restricted stock under the Merger Agreement and, in the event of a conflict between this Q&A and the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement
controls. The examples provided in this Q&A are based on hypothetical numbers and amounts, and are for illustrative purposes only.
Please note that
the potential timing for completion of the Merger cannot be determined with certainty at this time. More information on the Merger (including any publicly filed information) will be posted at www.proxydocs.com/SPBC as such information becomes
available.
| Q1: |
Will my restricted stock vest in connection with the Merger? |
| A1: |
Yes, each unvested share of restricted stock that you hold immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Merger shall become 100% vested and free of any restrictions or
repurchase rights as of the Effective Time of the Merger. |
| Q2: |
What will happen to my restricted stock that vests upon completion of the Merger? |
| A2: |
Pursuant to Section 2.3(b) of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time of the Merger, each of your vested shares of restricted stock shall automatically, and without any required action on your part, be
cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (subject to deduction for any required withholding taxes) equal to the per share value of the Merger consideration. |
| Q3: |
Will I owe taxes when my restricted stock vests in connection with the Merger? |
| A3: |
It depends. If you made an 83(b) election within 30 days of the grant of your restricted stock, you will not owe any taxes at ordinary income rates with respect to the vesting of your restricted stock. However,
to the extent the value of the Merger consideration you receive in connection with the surrender of your restricted stock exceeds your basis in the restricted stock, you will owe taxes at capital gains rates on the excess value. No amount will be
withheld from your payment for any capital gains taxes due. You will be solely responsible for ensuring any taxes due are paid. |
If you did not make an 83(b) election within 30 days of the grant of your restricted stock, then you will owe taxes at ordinary income rates
and employment taxes on the cash payment you will receive in connection with the surrender of your restricted shares.
For example, assume you hold 500 shares of restricted stock and that the per share value of the
Merger consideration is $29.55. Based upon these facts, you would be eligible to receive aggregate Merger consideration of $14,775 in cash (($29.55 x 500 shares), prior to deduction of any required tax withholdings. The required tax withholdings are
based on the value of the Merger consideration you are entitled to receive, determined as of the effective date of the Merger. If you did not make an 83(b) election within 30 days of the grant of your restricted stock, then, based on the
supplemental withholding rate of 25%, a social security tax rate of 6.2% (assuming you have not reached the social security wage base limit as of the date the Merger is consummated), and Medicare tax rate of 1.45%, the amount of $4,824.04 would be
withheld from your cash payment to satisfy the Federal tax withholding obligations with respect to the Merger consideration you are eligible to receive.
Your individual tax situation may be different. You are advised to consult with your own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of your
receipt of the Merger consideration. Company A makes no representation, guarantee, or other undertaking regarding the tax consequences to you of your receipt of the Merger consideration.
| Q4: |
How will I pay any taxes due when my restricted stock vests? |
| A4: |
As shown in the example in Q&A 3 above, assuming you have not previously made an 83(b) election, the aggregate Merger consideration payable to you upon surrender of your restricted stock will be reduced by
the applicable Federal, state, and local withholding taxes due with respect to the Merger consideration you are eligible to receive. |
| Q5: |
When will I receive payment in connection with the surrender of my restricted stock? |
| A5: |
You will receive payment of the aggregate Merger consideration (less applicable withholding taxes) you are eligible to receive in connection with the surrender of your restricted stock as soon as reasonably
practicable after the Effective Time of the Merger, but in any event within ten days after the Effective Time of the Merger. |
| Q6: |
What if I hold other equity awards relating to Company A’s common stock, in addition to my restricted stock – will each award be treated separately or will they be aggregated for purposes of calculating my
taxes due? |
| A6: |
If you hold more than one type of equity award, for example, restricted stock and stock options, the Merger consideration payable with respect to your awards will be aggregated for purposes of determining your
required withholdings and for purposes of satisfying those withholding obligations. |
For example, assume you hold 500 shares
of restricted stock and an option to purchase 1,000 shares of Company A stock, with an exercise price equal to $19.40 per share. As in the example in Q&A 3 above, assume also that the per share value of the Merger consideration is $29.55.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time of the Merger, each outstanding stock option, whether vested or unvested, shall automatically, and without any required action on your part, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive
an amount in cash (subject to deduction for any required withholding taxes) equal to the product of (a) the excess, if any, of the per share value of the Merger consideration over the option’s exercise price multiplied by (b) the
number of such options being cancelled. Based upon these facts, you would be eligible to receive $14,775 in cash for your surrendered restricted stock and $10,150 in cash for your cancelled stock options (($29.55 – $19.40) x 1,000 shares), for
aggregate Merger consideration of $24,925, prior to
2
deduction of any required tax withholdings. The required tax withholdings are based on the value of the Merger consideration you are entitled to receive, determined as of the effective date of
the Merger. If you did not make an 83(b) election within 30 days of the grant of your restricted stock, then, based on the supplemental withholding rate of 25%, a social security tax rate of 6.2% (assuming you have not reached the social security
wage base limit as of the date the Merger is consummated), and Medicare tax rate of 1.45%, the amount of $8,138.01 would be withheld from your cash payment to satisfy the Federal tax withholding obligations with respect to the Merger consideration
you are eligible to receive.
As noted above, your individual tax situation may be different. You are advised to consult with your own tax
advisor regarding the tax consequences of your receipt of the Merger consideration. Company A makes no representation, guarantee, or other undertaking regarding the tax consequences to you of your receipt of the Merger consideration.
If you have additional questions (other than tax-related questions), please contact Jeffrey Weaver, President and Chief Executive Officer of Company A at
(972) 931-5311.
