Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Termination of a Material Definit
On October 25, 2012, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Bryn Mawr Bank Corporation (the "Company") authorized and directed the issuance, and declared a dividend of one common share purchase right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Shares"), of the Company outstanding as of the close of business on December 1, 2012 (the "Record Date"). In addition, one Right will automatically attach to each share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment) that will become outstanding between the Record Date and the earliest of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date and the Final Expiration Date (each, as defined below). The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement, dated as of November 16, 2012 (the "Rights Agreement"), between the Company and Computershare Shareowner Services LLC as Rights Agent (the "Rights Agent").
The following summary of the principal terms of the Rights Agreement is a general description only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed terms and conditions set forth in the Rights Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given such terms in the Rights Agreement. A copy of the Rights Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Distribution Date; Exercisability; Expiration; Issuance of Rights Certificates
Initially, the Rights will be represented by the Company's Common Share
certificates or by the registration of uncertificated Common Shares in the
Company's share register, if any, and no separate certificates evidencing the
Rights (the "Right Certificates") will be issued. Separate Right Certificates
will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Shares as of the close of
business on the earlier to occur of (i) the tenth business day following a
public announcement or disclosure indicating that a person or group of
affiliated or associated persons (an "Acquiring Person") has acquired beneficial
ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding Common Shares or such earlier date
as a majority of the Board became aware of such acquisition or (ii) the tenth
business day (or such later date as the Board may determine prior to such time
as any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person) following the commencement
of, or first public announcement of an intention to commence, a tender offer or
exchange offer the consummation of which would result in the beneficial
ownership by a person or group of 15% or more of the then outstanding Common
Shares (the earlier of such dates being the "Distribution Date"). After the
Distribution Date, but prior to the time a person becomes an Acquiring Person,
each Right will entitle the registered holder to purchase from the Company three
(3) Common Shares at a purchase price of $33.03 per Common Share (the "Purchase
Price"), subject to adjustment. An Acquiring Person will not include, among
other things, any person who or which would otherwise be deemed an Acquiring
Person upon the adoption of the Rights Agreement.
The Rights Agreement provides that, until the Distribution Date, (i) the Rights will be transferred with and only with the Common Shares, (ii) new Common Share certificates issued after the Record Date upon transfer or new issuance of Common Shares will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference, and the initial transaction statement or subsequent periodic statements with respect to uncertificated Common Shares, if any, that are registered after the Record Date upon transfer or new issuance of such Common Shares will also contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference and (iii) the surrender for transfer of any certificates for Common Shares, or the registration of transfer of ownership in the Company's share register with respect to uncertificated Common Shares, outstanding as of the Record Date will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the Common Shares represented by such certificate or registration.
The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights will expire on November 16, 2015 (the "Final Expiration Date"), unless the Final Expiration Date is amended or unless the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company, in each case, as described below.
As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, Right Certificates will be mailed to holders of record of the Common Shares as of the close of business on the Distribution Date, and thereafter, the separate Right Certificates alone will represent the Rights.
Flip-In
If a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person at any time after the date of the Rights Agreement (with certain limited exceptions), each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, Common Shares (or, in certain circumstances, other similar securities of the Company, cash, or assets of the Company) having
