Supplemental disclosures include details on 2022 LOI (0.6400 exchange ratio, 29.6% premium) and 2024 LOI (0.5500, 35.2% premium).
BofA Securities fairness opinion and KBW fee structure (1% of merger consideration, $2M payable on opinion) added to proxy.
HTLF board's reason for merger supplemented to note fixed exchange ratio without collar; no admission of liability.
HTLF also received demand letters from other purported stockholders; supplemental disclosures aim to avoid merger delays.
