Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Material Modification to Rights o
On January 22, 2009 the Board of Directors of BancFirst Corporation (the "Company") approved Amendment No. 1 to the Company's existing Rights Agreement, dated February 25, 1999 (the "Rights Agreement") between the Company and BancFirst (an Oklahoma banking corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) as Rights Agent. The material amendment to the Rights Agreement was to extend the final expiration date of the common share purchase rights (the "Rights") issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement from February 25, 2009 to February 25, 2019. Amendment No. 1 to the Rights Agreement is not in response to any specific effort to acquire control of the Company, and the Board of Directors of the Company is not aware of any such effort.
The Rights will only become exercisable if a person or group has acquired, or announced an intention to acquire, 15% or more of the outstanding Common Shares. The Rights are designed to enable the Company's shareowners to realize the full long-term value of their investment and to provide for fair and equal treatment for all shareowners in the event that an unsolicited attempt is made to acquire the Company. The Rights are intended to provide the Board of Directors of the Company with sufficient time to consider any and all alternatives to such an action.
The original Rights Agreement and Amendment No. 1 are filed herewith as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively. The foregoing description of the Rights Agreement and changes to the terms of the Rights does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by references to Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2.
The disclosure in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.
(d) Exhibits. The following exhibits are being filed herewith:
(4.1) Rights Agreement, dated February 25, 1999 between BancFirst Corporation and BancFirst.
