The number of shares of PCBK's common stock to be issued to CPBO shareholders is based on a fixed exchange ratio provided PCBK's stock price remains between $12.01 and $16.25 as measured by the 20-day closing price average of PCBK common stock up to and including the fifth trading day prior to the closing of the transaction. The value of the stock portion of the consideration will vary based on the value of PCBK's common stock.
