Under the terms of the Agreement, Independent Bank Group will issue shares of Independent Bank Group common stock to the shareholders of Carlile Bancshares and pay cash to Carlile Bancshares option holders. The number of shares of Independent Bank Group common stock to be issued to Carlile Bancshares shareholders is based upon aggregate merger consideration of $434 million divided by an agreed price of $47.40 per share of Independent Bank Group common stock, adjusted for the aggregate amount of cash to be paid to option holders.
