On June 22, 2021, County Bancorp announced that it had signed an agreement to merge with Nicolet for approximately $219 million. Pursuant to the merger agreement, County Bancorp stockholders will have the choice to receive either $37.18 in cash or 0.48 shares of Nicolet common stock for each share of County Bancorp common stock owned. The deal is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Bragar Eagel & Squire is concerned that County Bancorp’s board of directors oversaw an unfair process and ultimately agreed to an inadequate merger agreement.
