stock changes. We encourage you to read this document carefully

Q: |
|
Is the merger expected to be taxable to me? |
|
A: |
|
In general, the exchange of your Centrue Financial common stock
solely for UnionBancorp common stock will not cause you to
recognize any taxable gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes. However, you will have to recognize taxable income or
gain in connection with cash received in lieu of any fractional
shares of common stock of the combined company. |

|
|
Each of UnionBancorps and Centrue Financials

upon receipt of an opinion about the federal income tax

When do you expect the merger to be completed? |
|
A: |

We are working to complete the merger as quickly as possible. If
approved by the UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial stockholders,

However, it is possible that factors outside our control could
require us to complete the merger at a later time or not
complete it at all. |

SUMMARY
This brief summary highlights selected information from this
joint proxy statement-prospectus and does not contain all of the
information that is important to you. We urge you to carefully
read this entire document and the other documents we refer to in
this document. These will give you a more complete description
of the transaction we are proposing. For more information about
our two companies, see Where You Can Find More
Information. We have included page references in this
summary to direct you to other places in this joint proxy
statement-prospectus where you can find a more complete
description of the topics we have summarized.
General
This joint proxy statement-prospectus relates to the proposed
merger of Centrue Financial with and into UnionBancorp.
UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial believe that the merger will
enhance stockholder value by allowing Centrue Financial and
UnionBancorp stockholders to own stock in a combined company
with significantly greater capital and resources than either
company standing alone. The merger also creates a combined
company that will possess a significantly greater geographic
presence than either Centrue Financial or UnionBancorp on a
stand-alone basis and will allow the development of enhanced and
more competitive products and services.

The Merger
(page )
We have attached a copy of the merger agreement to this
document as Appendix A. Please read the merger
agreement. It is the legal document that governs the merger.
We propose a combination in which Centrue Financial will merge
with and into UnionBancorp. The combined entity will continue
under the name Centrue Financial Corporation and its
shares will be traded on the NASDAQ Global Market under the
symbol TRUE. The combined companys main office
will be located
in ,
Illinois. We expect to complete the merger in the fourth quarter
of 2006, although delays could occur.
At the same time or immediately following the merger, we also
intend to merge Centrue Bank into UnionBank. The resulting
institution will be an Illinois chartered commercial bank
headquartered
in ,
Illinois, which will operate under the name Centrue
Bank.
What You Will Receive in the Merger
(page )
UnionBancorp stockholders. You will not need to surrender
your stock certificates. Each of your shares of UnionBancorp
common stock will remain outstanding, and will represent shares
of common stock of the combined company.
Centrue Financial stockholders. Each of your shares of
Centrue Financial common stock will automatically become the
right to receive 1.2 shares of UnionBancorp common stock.
The total number of shares you will have the right to receive
will be equal to the number of shares of Centrue Financial
common stock you own multiplied by 1.2. For example, if you hold
100 shares of Centrue Financial common stock, you will be
entitled to receive 120 shares (100 x 1.2) of UnionBancorp
common stock. Based on the
$ closing
price of UnionBancorp common stock
on ,
2006, the value of 1.2 shares of UnionBancorp common stock
was
$ ,
and the total value of the merger consideration was
approximately
$ million.
However, because the exchange ratio is fixed, the market value
of the shares of UnionBancorp common stock you will receive in
the merger will fluctuate from time to time, causing the total
value of the merger consideration to fluctuate.
Each share of UnionBancorp common stock will include all rights
that are attached to or inherent in the then-outstanding shares
of UnionBancorp common stock. See Effect of the Merger on
Rights of Stockholders.
The number of shares of UnionBancorp common stock Centrue
Financial stockholders will receive in the merger is subject to
adjustments for reorganizations, recapitalizations, stock
dividends and similar events that occur before the merger is
completed. None of those adjustments would alter the value of
the exchange ratio.
3
You will need to surrender your Centrue Financial common stock
certificates to receive new certificates representing common
stock of the combined company. However, this will not be
necessary until you receive written instructions, which will
occur on or around the time of the merger.
UnionBancorp will not issue any fractional shares. Instead,
Centrue Financial stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any
fractional shares of common stock of the combined company owed
to them in exchange for their shares of Centrue Financial common
stock. The amount of cash for any fractional shares will be
based on the average closing prices of UnionBancorp common stock
for the five trading days immediately following the completion
of the merger.
Exchange of Stock Certificates
(page )
On or shortly after the effective date of the merger, Centrue
Financial stockholders will receive a letter and instructions on
how to surrender their stock certificates representing Centrue
Financial common stock in exchange for stock certificates of the
combined company. You must carefully review and complete these
materials and return them as instructed along with your Centrue
Financial common stock certificates. Please do not send any
stock certificates to the exchange agent, UnionBancorp or
Centrue Financial until you receive these instructions.
Effect of the Merger on Options
(page [ ])
In the merger, each stock option to buy Centrue Financial common
stock that is outstanding immediately before completing the
merger will become an option to buy UnionBancorp common stock
and will continue to be governed by the terms of the original
plans under which they were issued, except that all options that
were not previously exercisable will become immediately
exercisable (excluding those issued in connection with the
merger). The number of shares of UnionBancorp common stock
subject to each of these converted stock options, as well as the
exercise price of these stock options, will be adjusted to
reflect the exchange ratio applicable in the merger.
The merger agreement provides that, except for options issued in
connection with the merger, options to purchase UnionBancorp
common stock will become immediately exercisable upon the merger
becoming effective.
Ownership After the Merger
(page )
Based on the exchange ratio contained in the merger agreement,
upon completion of the merger, UnionBancorp will
issue shares
of its common stock to Centrue Financial stockholders. Based on
these numbers, after the merger, on a fully-diluted basis,
existing UnionBancorp stockholders would own
approximately %, and former
Centrue Financial stockholders would own
approximately %, of the
outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company.
Effective Time of the Merger
(page )
The merger will become final when a certificate of merger is
filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. If
our stockholders approve the merger at their special meetings,
and if UnionBancorp obtains all required regulatory approvals,
we anticipate that the merger will be completed in fourth
quarter of 2006, although delays could occur.
We cannot assure you that we can obtain the necessary
stockholder and regulatory approvals or that the other
conditions to completion of the merger can or will be satisfied.

Federal Income Tax Consequences
(page )
For federal income tax purposes, the exchange of shares of
Centrue Financial common stock for shares of UnionBancorp common
stock generally will not cause the holders of Centrue Financial
common stock to recognize any gain or loss. Holders of Centrue
Financial common stock, however, will recognize income, gain or
loss in connection with any cash received to redeem any
fractional share interest.
Tax matters can be complicated, and the tax consequences of
the merger to you will depend on your particular tax situation.
We urge you to consult your tax advisor to determine the tax
consequences of the merger to you.
Reasons for the Merger
(pages and )
Each of our boards of directors believes the merger will enhance
stockholder value by permitting the combined company to expand
its presence in northern and central Illinois.
We expect the merger to strengthen our position as a competitor
in the financial services business as a result of our increased
resources and the availability of enhanced and more competitive
products and services.
You can find a more detailed discussion of the background of the
merger and UnionBancorps and Centrue Financials

of Transaction Background of the Merger

Board Recommendation beginning on

Centrue Financials Reasons for the
Merger and Board Recommendation beginning on

The discussion of our reasons for the merger includes
forward-looking statements about possible or assumed future
results of our operations and the performance of the combined
company after the merger. For a discussion of factors that could
affect these future results, see A Warning About
Forward-Looking Statements on
page .
Opinion of Financial Advisors
(page )
UnionBancorp stockholders. Sandler
ONeill & Partners, L.P. has delivered a written
opinion to the UnionBancorp board of directors that, as of
June 30, 2006, the exchange ratio is fair to the holders of
UnionBancorp common stock from a financial point of view. We
have attached this opinion to this document as
Appendix B. You should read this opinion completely
to understand the procedures followed, matters considered and
limitations on the reviews undertaken by Sandler ONeill in
providing its opinion.
Centrue Financial stockholders. Keefe Bruyette &
Woods, Inc. has delivered a written opinion to the Centrue
Financial board of directors that, as of June 30, 2006, the
exchange ratio is fair to the holders of Centrue Financial
common stock from a financial point of view. We have attached
this opinion to this document as Appendix C. You
should read this opinion completely to understand the procedures
followed, matters considered and limitations on the reviews
undertaken by Keefe Bruyette in providing its opinion.
Conditions to Completion of the Merger
(page )
The completion of the merger depends on a number of conditions
being met. Subject to exceptions described in the merger
agreement, these include:
|
|
|
|
|
accuracy of the respective representations and warranties of
UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial in the merger agreement; |
5
|
|
|
|
|
compliance in all material respects by each of UnionBancorp and
Centrue Financial with their respective covenants and agreements
in the merger agreement; |
|
|
|
approval of regulatory authorities; |
|
|
|
approval of the merger agreement by each companys
stockholders; |
|
|
|
receipt by each of us of an opinion from UnionBancorps
accountants that, for federal income tax purposes, Centrue
Financial stockholders who exchange their shares for shares of
common stock of the combined company will not recognize any gain
or loss as a result of the merger, except in connection with the
payment of cash instead of fractional shares (this opinion will
be subject to various limitations and we recommend that you read
the more detailed description of tax consequences provided in
this document beginning on
page ); and |
|
|
|
the absence of any injunction or legal restraint blocking the
merger, or of any proceedings by a government body trying to
block the merger. |
A party to the merger agreement could choose to complete the
merger even though a condition to its obligation has not been
satisfied, as long as the law allows it to do so. We cannot be
certain when or if the conditions to the merger will be
satisfied or waived, or that the merger will be completed.
Termination and Termination Fees
(page )
The parties can mutually agree at any time to terminate the
merger agreement without completing the merger. Also, either
party can decide, without the consent of the other, to terminate
the merger agreement if the merger has not been completed by
March 1, 2007, unless the failure to complete the merger by
that time is due to a violation of the merger agreement by the
party that wants to terminate the merger agreement. Also, the
termination date can be extended for up to ninety days if the
sole reason that the closing has not occurred is due to the fact
that the regulatory approvals have not been received.
In addition, either UnionBancorp or Centrue Financial can
terminate the merger agreement if the conditions to its
respective obligation to complete the merger have not been
satisfied or if the board of directors for either UnionBancorp
or Centrue Financial determines a competing takeover proposal
from a third party is superior to the merger (provided certain
notice requirements have been satisfied).
Either UnionBancorp or Centrue Financial may be required to pay
the other party a termination fee if the merger agreement is
terminated due to certain circumstances outlined in the merger
agreement. For a discussion of these conditions and fees, see
Description of Transaction Termination and
Termination Fees.
Waiver and Amendment
(page )
UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial may jointly amend the merger
agreement and either party may waive its right to require the
other party to adhere to any term or condition of the merger
agreement. However, neither may do so after our stockholders
approve the merger, if the amendment or waiver would materially
and adversely affect the rights of UnionBancorp or Centrue
Financial stockholders.
Regulatory Approvals
(page )
We cannot complete the merger unless we obtain the prior
approval (or waiver of such approval) by the Federal Reserve
Board and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional
Regulation. Once the Federal Reserve Board approves or waives
approval of the merger, we have to wait anywhere from 15 to
30 days before we can complete the merger, during which
time the U.S. Department of Justice can challenge the
merger on antitrust grounds.
6
We have filed all of the required waiver requests, applications
or notices with the Federal Reserve Board and the Illinois
Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
We have also filed applications with the Illinois Department of
Financial and Professional Regulation and the FDIC for approval
of the merger of the subsidiary banks, UnionBank and Centrue
Bank.
Management and Operations After the Merger
(page )
The present management groups of both companies will share the
responsibility of managing the combined company after the
completion of the merger. The board of directors of the combined
company will be comprised of ten members, five from UnionBancorp
and five from Centrue Financial.
Following the merger, Dennis J. McDonnell will be chairman of
the board of directors, Thomas A. Daiber will be President and
Chief Executive Officer, Scott A. Yeoman will be Chief Operating
Officer and Kurt R. Stevenson will be Chief Financial Officer of
the combined company.
Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger
(page )
Some of our directors and officers have interests in the merger
that differ from, or are in addition to, their interests as
stockholders in our companies. These interests exist because of
employment agreements that certain officers of our companies
have and rights that the directors and officers have under some
of our benefit plans. These employment agreements and plans will
provide the officers with severance benefits if their current
employment status changes as a result of the merger, except that
both of our companies have agreed to amend or replace most of
these employment agreements prior to the completion of our
merger to provide that the merger will not require the payment
of severance benefits if the merger is completed.
The members of our boards of directors knew about these
additional interests and considered them when they approved the
merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates.
Accounting Treatment
(page )
The merger will be accounted for as a purchase
transaction in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.
Expenses
(page )
Each of UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial will pay its own
expenses in connection with the merger, including filing,
registration and application fees, printing fees and fees and
expenses of its own financial or other consultants, accountants
and counsel.
Material Differences in the Rights of Stockholders
(page )
Both Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp are incorporated in and
governed by Delaware law. Upon our completion of the merger,
Centrue Financial stockholders will become stockholders of the
combined company and their rights will be governed by the
combined companys certificate of incorporation and
by-laws, which are, except as noted in this document, the
currently effective certificate of incorporation and by-laws of
UnionBancorp. There are material differences between the rights
of the stockholders of UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial, which
we describe in this document. By approving the merger,
UnionBancorps stockholders are approving the adoption of
an amended and restated certificate of incorporation attached as
Exhibit A to the merger agreement.

Comparative Per Share Data
The following table presents comparative historical per share
data of UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial and unaudited pro
forma per share data that reflect the combination of Centrue
with and into UnionBancorp using the purchase method of
accounting. The historical financial data of Centrue Financial
for the year ended December 31, 2005 has been adjusted for
the retrospective adoption of Statements of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 123R, Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123R) as described in their Quarterly
Reports on
Form 10-Q for the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and for the six months
ended June 30, 2006.
The information listed as equivalent pro forma for
Centrue Financial was obtained by multiplying the pro forma
amounts for UnionBancorp by the exchange ratio of 1.2.
We expect that we will incur merger and integration charges as a
result of combining our companies. We also anticipate that the
merger will provide the combined company with financial benefits
that include reduced operating expenses and the opportunity to
earn more revenue. The pro forma information, while helpful in
illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined
company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect these
expenses or benefits and, accordingly, does not attempt to
predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily
reflect what the historical results of the combined company
would have actually been had our companies been combined as of
the dates or for the periods presented.

The Equivalent Price Per Share of UnionBancorp at
each specified date in the above table represents the product
achieved when the closing sales price of a share of UnionBancorp
common stock on that date is multiplied by the exchange ratio of
1.2.
The market price of UnionBancorp common stock will likely
fluctuate between the date of this document and the date on
which the merger is completed and after the merger. Because the
exchange ratio of 1.2 is fixed, the value of the merger
consideration will fluctuate as the price of UnionBancorp common
stock changes. Stockholders should obtain current market price
quotations for shares of UnionBancorp common stock prior to
making any decisions with respect to the merger. In addition,
the value of the shares of the combined companys common
stock that Centrue Financial stockholders will receive in the
merger may increase or decrease after the merger.
By voting to adopt the merger agreement and approve the
transactions it contemplates, Centrue Financial stockholders
will be choosing to invest in the combined UnionBancorp/ Centrue
Financial, because they will receive UnionBancorp common stock
in exchange for their shares of Centrue Financial common stock.
An investment in the combined companys common stock
involves significant risk. In addition to the other information
included in this joint proxy statement-prospectus, including the

Financials board of directors.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial information is based on the historical financial
statements of UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial and has been
prepared to illustrate the effects of the merger of Centrue
Financial with and into UnionBancorp. The unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated statement of financial condition as of
June 30, 2006 and the unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 and for the year ended December 31, 2005
give effect to this merger, accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 has been
derived from the unaudited interim financial statements of
UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial included or incorporated by
reference in this joint proxy statement-prospectus. The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 is based on
the audited financial statements of UnionBancorp and Centrue
Financial included or incorporated by reference in this joint
proxy statement-prospectus. The historical financial data of
Centrue Financial for the year ended December 31, 2005 have
been adjusted for the retrospective adoption of SFAS 123R
as described in their 2006 quarterly filings. These unaudited
pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations give
effect to the transaction as if it has been consummated as of
January 1, 2005. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any
anticipated cost savings or revenue enhancements in connection
with the transaction.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements should be considered together with the historical
financial statements of UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial,
including the respective notes to those statements, included or
incorporated by reference in this joint proxy
statement-prospectus. The pro forma information is based on
certain assumptions described in the accompanying Notes to
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
and does not necessarily indicate the consolidated financial
position or the results of operations in the future or the
consolidated financial position or the results of operations
that would have been realized had the merger transaction been
consummated during the periods or as of the date for which the
pro forma information is presented.

Selected Historical Financial Data
The following tables present selected consolidated financial
data as of June 30, 2005, and 2006, and for the six-month
periods then ended, and as of December 31, 2001, 2002,
2003, 2004 and 2005 for each of the five years then ended, for
each of UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial. The information for
UnionBancorp is based on the historical financial information
that is contained in reports UnionBancorp has previously filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which can be found
in its Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and its
Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 2005, and its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005. The information for Centrue
Financial is based on the historical financial information that
is included with this proxy statement-prospectus beginning on
page F-46 and that is contained in reports Centrue Financial has
previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
which can be found in its
Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 2006 and its
Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 2005. Effective January 1,
2006, Centrue Financial adopted SFAS 123R. SFAS 123R
requires that the grant date fair value of equity awards to
employees be recognized as compensation expense over the period
during which an employee is required to provide service in
exchange for such award. Centrue Financial elected to adopt
SFAS 123R using modified retrospective
application, which requires the restatement of prior
period financial information based on the amounts previously
included in the pro forma disclosures for those periods required
prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R. As a result, the prior
period selected historical financial information of Centrue
Financial presented below has been restated accordingly. In
addition, the historical financial information for Centrue
Financial for the year ended December 31, 2005, which is
included in this proxy statement beginning on page F-45, and
related disclosure in the Managements Discussion and
Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2005 beginning on
page , have been restated in
accordance with the retrospective adoption of SFAS 123R.
See the notes to Centrue Financials historical financial
statements included with this proxy statement-prospectus for a
more detailed description of the adoption of SFAS 123R.
UnionBancorp elected to adopt SFAS 123R using the
modified prospective transition method, which does
not require restatement of prior period financial information.

You should read the following tables in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements described above.
Historical results do not necessarily indicate the results that
you can expect for any future period. We believe that we have
included all adjustments (which include only normal recurring

RISK FACTORS
By voting in favor of the merger, you will be choosing to invest
in the common stock of a combined UnionBancorp and Centrue
Financial. In addition to the information contained elsewhere in
this joint proxy statement-prospectus or incorporated in this
joint proxy statement-prospectus by reference, you should
carefully consider the following factors in making your decision
as to how to vote on the merger.
|
|
|
The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to
reflect changes in UnionBancorps stock value prior to the
effective time of the merger. |
The merger agreement provides that each share of Centrue
Financial common stock will be converted into the right to
receive 1.2 shares of UnionBancorp common stock. The
exchange ratio of 1.2 shares of UnionBancorp stock per
share of Centrue Financial stock is fixed and will not be
adjusted to reflect any changes in the value of UnionBancorp
common stock between the date of the merger agreement and the
effective time of the merger. As a result, the value of the
merger consideration to be paid to Centrue Financials
stockholders will not be known at the time of the Centrue
Financial special meeting, and you will not know when you vote
the exact value of the shares of UnionBancorp common stock that
you will receive. You are urged to obtain current market price
quotations for UnionBancorp common stock prior to voting on the
merger.
Moreover, the value of the combined companys common stock
may also rise or fall after the merger. Stock price changes may
result from a variety of factors, including completion of the
merger, general market and economic conditions, changes in our
respective businesses, operations and prospects and regulatory
considerations. Many of these factors are beyond the combined
companys control, and it is possible that the market value
of the combined companys common stock at the time of the
merger and afterward may be substantially higher or lower than
current market value.
|
|
|
The interests of certain management officials may be
different from those of other stockholders. |
Thomas A. Daiber, the President and Chief Executive Officer of
Centrue Financial, Scott A. Yeoman, the President and Chief
Executive Officer of UnionBancorp, and Kurt R. Stevenson, the
Chief Financial Officer of UnionBancorp, have entered into
employment agreements in connection with the merger. We
anticipate that other senior officers will enter into employment
agreements that are substantially similar to those of
Messrs. Daiber, Yeoman, and Stevenson. In addition, five of
the members of UnionBancorps current board of directors
and five of the members of Centrue Financials board of
directors will together serve as the entire board of directors
of the combined company after the completion of the merger.
Following the merger, they will also serve on the board of the
combined bank subsidiary, and receive payments for their
service. Accordingly, our directors and some of our executive
officers may have interests in the merger that are different
from, or in addition to, yours. See Description of
Transaction Interests of Certain Persons in the
Merger.
|
|
|
Difficulties in combining the operations of Centrue
Financial and UnionBancorp may prevent the combined company from
achieving the expected benefits from its acquisition. |
The combined company may not be able to achieve fully the
strategic objectives and operating efficiencies it hopes to
achieve in the merger. The success of the merger will depend on
a number of factors, including the combined companys
ability to:
|
|
|
|
|
integrate the operations of Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp; |
|
|
|
maintain existing relationships with depositors so as to
minimize withdrawals of deposits after the merger; |
|
|
|
maintain and enhance existing relationships with borrowers so as
to limit unanticipated losses from loans of Centrue Financial
and UnionBancorp; |
|
|
|
control the incremental non-interest expense so as to maintain
overall operating efficiencies; |
21
|
|
|
|
|
retain and attract qualified personnel; and |
|
|
|
compete effectively in the communities served by Centrue
Financial and UnionBancorp and in nearby communities. |
|
|
|
Your interest will be diluted by the merger. |
After the merger, Centrue Financials stockholders will own
less than a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the
combined company and could therefore, for matters requiring a
majority vote, be outvoted by the existing and continuing
UnionBancorp stockholders if they all voted together as a group
on any such issue that is presented to the combined
companys stockholders. UnionBancorps stockholders
will own
approximately %
of the combined companys outstanding voting stock, but the
President and Chief Executive Officer of the combined company
and five of the combined companys ten-member board of
directors will be individuals who formerly served as directors
of Centrue Financial. Neither group of stockholders will have
the same control over the combined company as they currently
have over their respective companies.
In addition, there will be no restrictions in the combined
companys governing documents relating to the ability of
any person or group of persons to acquire common stock of the
combined company. Accordingly, your interests may be diluted
further to the extent that any person or group is able to
consolidate ownership.
|
|
|
Obtaining required approvals and satisfying closing
conditions may delay or prevent completion of the merger. |
Completion of the merger is conditioned upon the receipt of all
material governmental authorizations, consents, orders and
approvals. UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial intend to pursue
all required approvals in accordance with the merger agreement.
No assurance can be given that the required consents and
approvals will be obtained or that the required conditions to
closing will be satisfied, and, if all such consents and
approvals are obtained and the conditions are satisfied, no
assurance can be given as to the terms, conditions and timing of
the approvals or that they will satisfy the terms of the merger
agreement. See Description of Transaction
Conditions for the Completion of the Merger for a
discussion of the conditions to the completion of the merger and
Description of Transaction Regulatory
Approvals for a description of the regulatory approvals
necessary in connection with the merger.
These factors could contribute to the combined company not
achieving the expected benefits from the merger within the
desired time frames, if at all.
A WARNING ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We have each made forward-looking statements in this document
(and in documents to which we refer you in this document) that
are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking
statements include information about possible or assumed future
results of our operations or the performance of the combined
company after the merger is completed. When we use any of the
words believes, expects,
anticipates, estimates or similar
expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. These
statements are based on UnionBancorps and Centrue
Financials respective managements existing
expectations, which in turn are based on information that is
currently available to them and on the current economic,
regulatory and competitive environment, including factors such
as the strength of the U.S. and local economies; federal, state
and local laws, regulations and policies; interest rates and
regulatory policies; and expectations as to competitors and
customers. Many possible events or factors, including changes
from current conditions in the factors mentioned above, could
affect the future financial results and performance of each of
our companies and the combined company after the merger and
could cause those results or performance to differ materially
from those expressed in our forward-looking statements.
22
In addition to the factors listed above and the risks discussed
in the Risk Factors section of this joint proxy
statement-prospectus, factors that could have a material adverse
effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are
not limited to, the following:
|
|
|
|
|
the economic impact of past and any future terrorist threats and
attacks, acts of war or threats thereof and the response of the
United States to any such threats and attacks; |
|
|
|
technological changes implemented by us and by other parties,
including third party vendors, which may be more difficult or
more expensive than anticipated or which may have unforeseen
consequences to us and our customers; |
|
|
|
the availability of capital to fund the expansion of the
combined business; and |
|
|
|
other factors referenced in this joint proxy
statement-prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference. |
These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating
forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be
placed on such statements.
Any forward-looking earnings estimates included in this joint
proxy statement-prospectus have not been examined or compiled by
either of our independent public accountants, nor have either of
our independent accountants applied any procedures to our
estimates. Accordingly, our accountants do not express an
opinion or any other form of assurance on them. The
forward-looking statements included in this joint proxy
statement-prospectus are made only as of the date of this joint
proxy statement-prospectus. Further information concerning
UnionBancorp and its business, including additional factors that
could materially affect UnionBancorps financial results,
is included in UnionBancorps filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Further information concerning Centrue
Financial and its business, including additional factors that
could materially affect Centrue Financials financial
results, is included in Centrue Financials filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recommendation of Centrue Financials Board
The Centrue Financial board has unanimously approved the
merger agreement and the transactions it contemplates and
believes that the proposal to adopt the merger agreement and
approve the transactions it contemplates are in the best
interests of Centrue Financial and its stockholders. The Centrue
Financial board unanimously recommends that the Centrue
Financial stockholders vote FOR adoption of the merger

DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION
The following information describes material aspects of the
merger and related transactions. This description does not
provide a complete description of all the terms and conditions
of the merger agreement. It is qualified in its entirety by the
Appendices to this document, including the merger agreement,
which is attached as Appendix A to this joint proxy
statement-prospectus and which is incorporated into this joint
proxy statement-prospectus by reference. We urge you to read the
Appendices in their entirety.
General
The merger agreement provides for the merger of Centrue
Financial with and into UnionBancorp. At the time the merger
becomes effective, each share of Centrue Financial common stock
then issued and outstanding will be converted into and exchanged
for the right to receive 1.2 shares of UnionBancorp common
stock. By approving the merger, UnionBancorp stockholders are
also approving the adoption of an amended and restated
certificate of incorporation attached as Exhibit A to the
merger agreement.
No fractional shares of UnionBancorp common stock will be issued
to Centrue Financials stockholders. Rather, UnionBancorp
will redeem any of these fractional interests for cash in an
amount equal to the average of the closing sale prices of
UnionBancorp common stock for the five trading days immediately
following the completion of the merger. No interest will be paid
or accrued on cash payable to holders of Centrue Financial
common stock in lieu of fractional shares. No stockholder of
Centrue Financial will be entitled to dividends, voting rights
or any other rights as a stockholder of UnionBancorp in respect
of any fractional shares.
On their respective record dates, UnionBancorp had
[ ] shares
of common stock issued and outstanding and Centrue Financial had
[ ] shares
of common stock issued and outstanding. Based on the exchange
ratio contained in the merger agreement, on completion of the
merger, UnionBancorp will issue
[ ] shares
of its common stock to former Centrue Financial stockholders.
After the merger, former Centrue Financial stockholders would
own approximately
[ ]%
of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined
company.

Fluctuation in UnionBancorp Stock Price. Because the
exchange ratio of 1.2 shares of UnionBancorp common stock
is fixed, the value of the merger consideration will fluctuate
as the price of UnionBancorp common stock changes. Share prices
cannot be accurately predicted. The following table illustrates

Treatment of Centrue Financial Stock Options and Restricted
Stock
Upon completion of the merger, each outstanding option to
acquire Centrue Financial common stock will be converted into an
option to acquire that number of whole shares of the combined
companys common stock equal to the product of the number
of shares of Centrue Financial common stock that were subject to
the original Centrue Financial stock option multiplied by the
exchange ratio at a per share exercise price equal to the
exercise price per share of the original Centrue Financial stock
option divided by the exchange ratio (subject to certain
rounding adjustments set forth in the merger agreement). As soon
as practicable following the completion of the merger, the
combined company intends to file a registration statement to
register the issuance of the shares of the combined
companys common stock to be issued upon exercise of the
converted Centrue Financial stock options.
Centrue Financial has issued 12,400 shares of common stock
as restricted stock under its stock incentive plan.
When the merger is completed, each share of restricted stock
will vest and will become free of all restrictions, and each of
these shares will be converted into the right to receive
1.2 shares of UnionBancorp common stock.
Surrender of Stock Certificates
Shortly after the merger, all Centrue Financial stockholders
will receive a letter of transmittal, together with a return
envelope. The letter of transmittal will include instructions
for the surrender and exchange of certificates representing
Centrue Financial common stock in exchange for the combined
companys common
stock. will
serve as the exchange agent in the process. A letter of
transmittal will be deemed properly completed only if signed and
accompanied by stock certificates representing all shares of
Centrue Financial common stock or an appropriate guarantee of
delivery of the certificates.
Please do not send any certificates to the exchange agent,
Centrue Financial or UnionBancorp until you receive a letter of
transmittal and instructions.
28
Until you surrender your Centrue Financial stock certificates
for exchange after completion of the merger, you will not be
paid dividends or other distributions declared after the merger
with respect to any of the combined companys common stock
into which your Centrue Financial shares have been converted.
When Centrue Financial stock certificates are surrendered, we
will pay to the surrendering holder any of his or her respective
unpaid dividends or other distributions, without interest. After
the completion of the merger, no further transfers of Centrue
Financial common stock will be permitted. Centrue Financial
stock certificates presented for transfer after the completion
of the merger will be canceled and exchanged for common stock of
the combined company.
None of the exchange agent, UnionBancorp, Centrue Financial or
any other person will be liable to any former holder of Centrue
Financial common stock for any amount properly delivered to a
public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property,
escheat or similar laws.
If a certificate for Centrue Financial common stock has been
lost, stolen or destroyed, the exchange agent will issue the
consideration properly payable under the merger agreement upon
compliance by the holder of Centrue Financial common stock with
the conditions reasonably imposed by the exchange agent. These
conditions will include a requirement that the stockholder
provide a lost instruments indemnity bond in form, substance and
amount reasonably satisfactory to the exchange agent and us.
Effective Time of the Merger
Subject to the conditions to each partys obligations to
complete the merger, the merger will become effective when a
certificate of merger reflecting the merger is filed with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Unless we agree
otherwise, each party will use reasonable efforts to cause the
merger to become effective 10 business days after the later to
occur of:
|
|
|
|
|
the receipt of all required regulatory approvals and the
expiration of all statutory waiting periods relating to the
approvals; and |
|
|
|
the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to closing. |
We anticipate that the merger will become effective in the
fourth quarter of 2006; however, delays could occur.
We cannot assure you that the necessary stockholder and
regulatory approvals of the merger will be obtained or that
other conditions precedent to the merger can or will be
satisfied. Either partys board of directors may terminate
the merger agreement if the merger is not completed by
March 1, 2007, unless it is not completed because of the
failure by the party seeking termination to comply fully with
its obligations under the merger agreement, except that, in
general, the termination date can be extended for up to ninety
days if the sole reason that the closing has not occurred is due
to the fact that (1) the regulatory approvals have not been
received, or (2) the Registration Statement has not become
effective. See Conditions to Completion
of the Merger and Termination and
Termination Fees.
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the
Merger
The following is a summary of the material United States federal
income tax consequences of the merger generally applicable to
Centrue Financial stockholders. This discussion assumes you hold
your shares of Centrue Financial common stock as capital assets
within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and does not address all
aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be
relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances or if
you are subject to special rules, such as rules relating to:
|
|
|
|
|
stockholders who are not citizens or residents of the United
States; |
|
|
|
financial institutions; |
|
|
|
tax-exempt organizations; |
|
|
|
insurance companies; |
29
|
|
|
|
|
dealers in securities or currencies; |
|
|
|
traders in securities that elect to use a
mark-to-market method
of accounting; |
|
|
|
stockholders who acquired their shares of Centrue Financial
common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options
or otherwise acquired shares as compensation; and |
|
|
|
stockholders who hold their shares of Centrue Financial common
stock as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction,
constructive sale or conversion transaction. |
In addition, this summary does not address any state, local or
foreign tax consequences of the merger that may apply. The
following discussion is based on the Code, existing and proposed
regulations promulgated under the Code, published Internal
Revenue Service rulings and court decisions, all as in effect as
of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change,
possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change could affect
the continuing validity of this discussion.
Tax Opinion of Crowe Chizek and Company LLC. It is a
condition of the merger, that both UnionBancorp and Centrue
Financial have received an opinion from UnionBancorps
accountants that, for federal income tax purposes, Centrue
Financial stockholders who exchange their shares for shares of
common stock of the combined company will not recognize any gain
or loss as a result of the merger, except in connection with the
payment of cash instead of fractional shares. We have obtained
the opinion of Crowe Chizek and Company LLC (Crowe
Chizek) as to the expected federal income tax consequences
of the merger, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement. Subject to the conditions,
qualifications, representations and assumptions contained in
this document and in the tax opinion, Crowe Chizeks
opinion provides the following conclusions:
|
|
|
|
|
The acquisition by UnionBancorp of substantially all of the
assets of Centrue Financial in exchange for shares of
UnionBancorp common stock and the assumption of liabilities of
UnionBancorp and of Centrue Financial pursuant to the merger
will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Code. |
|
|
|
UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial will each be a party to
a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b)
of the Code. |
|
|
|
No gain or loss will be recognized by either UnionBancorp or
Centrue Financial as a result of the merger. |
|
|
|
No gain or loss will be recognized by the stockholders of
Centrue Financial as a result of the exchange of Centrue
Financial common stock for UnionBancorp common stock pursuant to
the merger. Assuming that the UnionBancorp common stock is a
capital asset in the hands of the respective Centrue Financial
stockholders and has been held for more than one year, any gain
or loss recognized as a result of the receipt of cash in lieu of
a fractional share will be a capital gain or loss equal to the
difference between the cash received and that portion of the
holders tax basis in the Centrue Financial common stock
allocable to the fractional share. |
|
|
|
The tax basis of UnionBancorp common stock to be received by the
stockholders of Centrue Financial will be the same as the tax
basis of the Centrue Financial common stock surrendered in
exchange therefor (reduced by any amount allocable to a
fractional share interest for which cash is received). |
|
|
|
The holding period of the UnionBancorp common stock to be
received by stockholders of Centrue Financial will include the
holding period of the Centrue Financial common stock surrendered
in exchange therefore on the date of the exchange. |
The tax opinion is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations
issued under the Code by the Internal Revenue Service, judicial
decisions and administrative pronouncements of the Internal
Revenue Service, all existing and in effect on the date of this
joint proxy statement-prospectus and all of which are subject to
change at any time, possibly retroactively. Any such change
could have a material impact on the conclusions reached in the
tax opinion. The tax opinion represents only Crowe Chizeks
best judgment as to the expected federal income tax consequences
of the merger and is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service
or the
30
courts. The Internal Revenue Service may challenge the
conclusions stated in the tax opinion or positions taken by
stockholders on their income tax returns. Stockholders of
Centrue Financial may incur the cost and expense of defending
positions taken by them with respect to the merger. A successful
challenge by the Internal Revenue Service could have material
adverse consequences to the parties to the merger, including
stockholders of Centrue Financial.
In rendering the tax opinion, Crowe Chizek has relied as to
factual matters solely on the continuing accuracy of the
following:
|
|
|
|
|
the description of the facts relating to the merger contained in
the merger agreement and this joint proxy statement-prospectus; |
|
|
|
the factual representations and warranties contained in the
merger agreement and this joint proxy statement-prospectus and
related documents and agreements; and |
|
|
|
factual matters addressed by representations made by executive
officers of UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial, as further
described in the tax opinion. |
Events occurring after the date of the tax opinion could alter
the facts upon which the opinion is based. In such case, the
conclusions reached in the tax opinion and in this summary could
be materially impacted.
The conditions relating to the receipt of the tax opinion may be
waived by both of us, although neither of us currently intends
to do so. If the condition relating to the receipt of the tax
opinion were waived and the material federal income tax
consequences of the merger were substantially different from
those described in this joint proxy statement-prospectus, we
would each resolicit the approval of our respective stockholders
prior to completing the merger.
Backup Withholding. Unless you provide a taxpayer
identification number (social security number or employer
identification number) and certify, among other things, that
such number is correct, or you provide proof of an applicable
exemption from backup withholding, the exchange agent will be
required to withhold 28% of any cash payable to Centrue
Financial stockholders in connection with the merger. Any amount
so withheld under the backup withholding rules is not an
additional tax and will be allowed as a refund or credit against
your United States federal income tax liability, provided that
you furnish the required information to the Internal Revenue
Service. Centrue Financial stockholders should complete and sign
the substitute
Form W-9 that will
be included as part of the transmittal letter that accompanies
the election form to provide the information and certification
necessary to avoid backup withholding, unless an applicable
exception exists and is established in a manner that is
satisfactory to the exchange agent.
Centrue Financial stockholders will be required to retain
records pertaining to the merger and will be required to file a
statement with your United States federal income tax return for
the taxable year in which the merger takes place that sets forth
certain facts relating to the merger, including your basis in
your Centrue Financial common stock that you surrender in
connection with the merger and the fair market value of the
UnionBancorp common stock that you receive in connection with
the merger. In addition, pursuant to the American Jobs Creation
Act of 2004, Centrue Financial, or UnionBancorp as Centrue
Financials successor, will be required to provide to the
Internal Revenue Service and Centrue Financial stockholders
information with respect to the merger, including information
regarding your identity (and the identities of other Centrue
Financial stockholders) and the fair market value of
UnionBancorp common stock received by you (and by each other
Centrue Financial stockholder) in the merger.
The foregoing discussion is not intended to be a complete
analysis or description of all potential federal income tax
consequences of the merger. In addition, the discussion does not
address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent
on, your individual circumstances. Moreover, the discussion does
not address any non-income tax or any foreign, state, or local
tax consequences of the merger. Accordingly, you are strongly
urged to consult with your own tax advisor to determine the
particular federal, state, local and foreign income and other
tax consequences to you of the merger.
31
Background of the Merger
The boards of directors of each of Centrue Financial and
UnionBancorp have regularly reviewed the business strategies of
their respective companies in light of general conditions in the
banking industry, local competitive and economic conditions, the
results of operations and future prospects, legislative changes
and other developments affecting the banking industry generally
and each of their respective companies specifically.
The Centrue Financial board of directors also has considered
from time to time the possible benefits of strategic business
combinations with other comparably-sized financial institutions,
including other bank holding companies, as a part of its ongoing
evaluation of available methods to increase stockholder value,
to strengthen its franchise through expansion of its existing
service area and to solidify its market position in existing
markets. Following a series of strategic planning meetings in
early 2003, the focus of the institution became to seek to
transform Centrue Financial into the premier financial
institution in the central Illinois markets between Chicago and
St. Louis. To this end, the senior management of Centrue
Financial has from time to time had informal discussions with
senior management of other financial institutions regarding
potential business combinations.
As a part of these discussions and the implementation of Centrue
Financials strategic plan, representatives of each of
Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp, together with a significant
individual stockholder of UnionBancorp, had an informal
conversation and information-sharing meeting regarding a very
preliminary exploration of the possibility of merging the two
franchises. A follow-up
meeting was held in the Fall of 2003 following Centrue
Financials acquisition of Aviston Financial Corporation
and the related retention of Thomas A. Daiber as Chief Executive
Officer. Although the parties recognized that potential
synergies could be reached given UnionBancorps expressed
desire to move their franchise toward Chicago and build a
full-service financial institution, the parties did not make any
further effort to pursue a transaction at that time. This
decision was based in part on the need for UnionBancorp to
address asset quality and earnings issues that had arisen in the
early 2000s and to implement a cohesive long-term strategy,
including focusing on the retention of a strong management team.
In addition, the parties agreed that there was a need on the
part of Centrue Financials new management team to
integrate operations following the Aviston acquisition prior to
undertaking a strategic transaction of this nature, as well as
to focus on asset quality and earnings issues.
Centrue Financials board of directors continued to
evaluate business combinations, undertaking the acquisition of
two smaller financial institutions located in central Illinois,
and also continued to explore the availability of additional
opportunities that would enhance stockholder value. In April
2005, Centrue Financial received an unsolicited, non-binding
expression of interest from senior management of an Illinois
financial institution, which included an offer to purchase
Centrue Financial for cash and stock consideration. Over a
series of meetings conducted during May 2005, Centrue Financial,
together with a financial advisor, analyzed the expression of
interest, and the parties conducted mutual due diligence.
Following review and discussion among the parties, the
negotiations were terminated due to relative valuation issues
and to an inability of the parties to reach agreement on
threshold issues such as management and director integration.
Following UnionBancorps employment of Scott A. Yeoman as
Chief Executive Officer in June 2005, Mr. Yeoman met with
Mr. Daiber and with the retiring Chief Executive Officer of
UnionBancorp, and the parties met again in November 2005, along
with the Chief Financial Officers of each institution. At that
time, the parties entered into a confidentiality agreement to
facilitate the exchange of information. Although the parties
again informally discussed the desirability of a proposed
affiliation, these discussions did not progress, primarily
because UnionBancorps board was in the midst of
consideration of UnionBancorps strategic direction, and
UnionBancorp was also in the midst of a reduction in force.
In the Fall of 2005, Centrue Financial received an unsolicited,
non-binding expression of interest from a financial institution
located in the St. Louis metropolitan area regarding an
offer to acquire Centrue Financial in a cash and stock
transaction. Representatives of each company met with one
another to discuss the desired synergies resulting from the
proposed acquisition, and the parties, including a new financial
advisor to Centrue Financial, conducted mutual due diligence.
Following this process and after discussions among the respective
32
parties regarding transaction terms, discussions, were
terminated due to, among other things, uncertainty with respect
to the combined companys ability to generate acceptable
earnings.
The board of directors in November 2005 again considered its
strategic alternatives, and agreed to further evaluate Centrue
Financials strategic plan. In January 2006, Centrue
Financial conducted an informal market check, with its financial
advisor contacting approximately 8-10 financial institutions,
including UnionBancorp, that Centrue Financial felt might have a
strategic or financial interest in the potential acquisition of
Centrue Financial at a market premium. The board of directors of
Centrue Financial determined as a result of this market check
that the timing did not seem appropriate to sell the company,
but that it might be willing to consider strategic combinations
structured as a merger of equals. In reaching this conclusion,
the Centrue Financial board considered that a merger of equals
would, if completed, likely be completed at a value that would
not represent an immediate premium over Centrue Financials
then current market value, while its previous considerations of
sale transactions had contemplated that Centrue Financial
stockholders would receive such a premium. However, the board
noted that at no time had any prior discussions or the informal
market check indicated that a sale transaction at an acceptable
value would be achievable. In addition, in making its decision
to focus on a merger of equals transaction, the board noted that
the evaluation of the price to be paid to Centrue Financial
stockholders would be able to be evaluated over a long-term
horizon, which would give the board flexibility to evaluate
transactions that would support its overall corporate strategy
and that may, if proper synergies were achieved, result in
increases in stockholder value in the long term. When
Mr. Yeoman again contacted Mr. Daiber in January, 2006
to discuss an affiliation structured as a merger of equals, the
parties began in earnest to discuss the proposed structure and
financial terms of such a transaction. At a UnionBancorp board
meeting held on March 16, 2006, Dennis J. McDonnell,
chairman of UnionBancorp, reported on conversations he had had
with Centrue Financial and discussed similarities between the
organizations and advantages to be gained in a merger of equals.
As a result of discussions held in April, 2006 among
representatives of each company, including a significant
individual stockholder of UnionBancorp, the parties agreed to
move forward with the consideration of a possible transaction in
which Centrue Financial would combine with UnionBancorp, with
the combined company retaining the name Centrue Financial
Corporation. In the combination, it was proposed that
UnionBancorp would issue stock to Centrue Financials
stockholders, with an exchange ratio based on an approximation
of market-to-market
value preceding the date of announcement of the transaction. It
was also proposed that the combined company would have a board
of directors comprised of ten members, five from each
constituent company, with equal representation on committees of
the board. The senior management team was proposed to consist of
Mr. Daiber as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Yeoman as
Chief Operating Officer, and Kurt R. Stevenson, the current
Chief Financial Officer of UnionBancorp, as the Chief Financial
Officer. Through a series of meetings and conversations held in
late April 2006, the parties developed a framework for the
financial terms and management integration, and expressed a
mutual interest in pursuing a transaction. The discussions among
the parties included the consideration of the possible
advantages of a combination, including the fact that each of the
franchises had little geographic overlap and represented the
opportunity to extend the combined market share over a larger
portion of central Illinois, with a possible long term goal of
ultimately expanding into the Chicago metropolitan area. At a
meeting of UnionBancorps board on April 25, 2006,
Mr. McDonnell apprised the entire UnionBancorp board of the
above discussions and after discussion among the board members,
the UnionBancorp board unanimously agreed that UnionBancorp
should continue conversations with Centrue Financial.
Mr. McDonnell sent a letter to Centrue Financial dated
May 18, 2006 setting forth the proposed material terms of a
possible merger of equals transaction between UnionBancorp and
Centrue Financial.
At a meeting of Centrue Financials board held on
May 24, 2006, the directors approved moving forward with
the consideration a possible merger, and authorized management
to proceed with mutual due diligence. In addition, the directors
authorized management to contact prospective investment bankers,
including Centrue Financials most recent financial
advisor, and ask the bankers to give presentations with respect
to the proposed transaction. UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial
met and had discussions several times over the ensuing days to
organize the due diligence process and to discuss organization,
vision and strategy for the
33
combined institution. In addition, the parties discussed with
their respective counsel the alternative structures for a merger
of equals transaction.
A meeting of UnionBancorps board was held on May 25,
2006 which was attended by all of UnionBancorps directors,
UnionBancorps Chief Financial Officer, Kurt R. Stevenson,
and representatives of UnionBancorps attorneys,
Howard & Howard Attorneys P.C. At the meeting,
Mr. McDonnell updated the board on the negotiations with
Centrue. Representatives of Howard & Howard discussed
in detail with the board members their fiduciary duties in
connection with merger transactions and answered questions from
the board. A possible timeline was also discussed should events
move forward including the due diligence process and the timing
of the preparation of a definitive agreement.
Messrs. Yeoman and Stevenson recommended that the company
engage Sandler ONeill & Partners, L.P. to act as
independent financial advisors to assist management in a
possible merger of equals transaction with Centrue Financial,
based on UnionBancorps previous experience with Sandler
ONeill and Sandler ONeills reputation and
expertise in the financial services industry. After discussion
and by unanimous vote, the Board authorized management to engage
Sandler ONeill as financial advisor to UnionBancorp.
UnionBancorp formally engaged Sandler ONeill by letter
dated May 25, 2006.
On June 1, 2006, the audit committee of Centrue
Financials board of directors met, with participation from
the remaining board members and legal counsel, Barack
Ferrazzano, to interview the investment bankers to represent
Centrue Financial in connection with the transaction. Following
the presentations offered at the meeting, the audit committee
selected Keefe Bruyette & Woods, Inc. to represent
Centrue Financial as the investment banker on the transaction,
based in part on their experience with merger of equals
transactions. Keefe Bruyette was directed to begin its financial
analysis of the transaction, and to engage in discussions with
UnionBancorps financial advisors, Sandler
ONeill & Partners, to assess whether any
modification to the proposed exchange ratio was appropriate. At
the conclusion of the meeting, the audit committee directed
Barack Ferrazzano to prepare a definitive merger agreement to be
presented to UnionBancorps counsel.
Beginning June 2, 2006, additional meetings were held
between Centrue Financial, UnionBancorp and their financial
advisors to discuss each organizations respective
financial performance, personnel and business plans. The parties
also discussed how the two organizations would combine in a
merger of equals, and how the transaction and resulting company
would be structured. Due diligence began June 5, 2006, and
continued through the following week. Over this period, Sandler
ONeill and Keefe Bruyette continued discussions with
respect to the exchange ratio, and Sandler ONeill
recommended to Keefe Bruyette a fixed exchange ratio of
1.2 shares of UnionBancorp common stock for each share of
Centrue Financial common stock, with this ratio based on the
previously discussed
market-to-market
methodology. Keefe Bruyette reported to Centrue Financial that
UnionBancorp was not receptive to a modification of the exchange
ratio methodology.
On June 12, 2006, UnionBancorp held a board meeting which
was attended by all but one of its directors,
Mr. Stevenson, Chief Financial Officer, and representatives
of Howard & Howard and Sandler ONeill. The
meeting was called to update the board on the status of
negotiations and due diligence. Mr. Yeoman advised that he
and Mr. Stevenson met twice with Mr. Daiber prior to
the commencement of the due diligence process. The meetings
ended on a positive note with all parties agreeing that there
would be synergies in a combined organization. Also discussed
were preliminary organizational chart items, line of business
structure and centralized operations and support functions.
Mr. Yeoman discussed the diligence process and reviewed the
findings identified by the due diligence team. Representatives
of Sandler ONeill then discussed the exchange ratio
analysis projecting a 1.20x exchange ratio and their pro forma
contribution analysis as of March 31, 2006 supporting a
merger of equals transaction. The board briefly discussed a
timeline of events should the companies move forward and the
prospective need to offer employment contracts to key
individuals to ensure the successful integration of the two
companies.
On June 13, 2006, Centrue Financials board of
directors held a meeting that included the participation of
Keefe Bruyette and Barack Ferrazzano. At this meeting, the
Centrue Financial board reviewed the strategic alliance process
to date, a summary of the
merger-of-equals
transaction proposal, and a financial analysis presented by
Keefe Bruyette of Centrue Financial, UnionBancorp and the
proposed transaction. Management provided the board of directors
with the initial due diligence report, which included a
discussion of the loan
34
review, financial and related areas, insurance and benefit
plans, premises and equipment, retail overview, trust and
brokerage activities, regulatory matters and personnel. In
addition, Barack Ferrazzano delivered its initial legal due
diligence report, including addressing securities, contract and
benefit matters. The meeting also included a detailed discussion
by counsel of the terms of the proposed merger agreement and
employment agreements to be entered into with key management
personnel of the combined company. Barack Ferrazzano also
reviewed with the board its fiduciary obligations and the legal
standards applicable to a decision by the board to approve the
merger agreement and related transaction and recommend their
approval to stockholders. At the conclusion of the meeting,
counsel was requested to deliver the agreement to
UnionBancorps counsel and to negotiate a definitive
agreement. Barack Ferrazzano delivered the draft agreement to
Howard & Howard, counsel for UnionBancorp, later
that afternoon.
Management of Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp, along with
their respective financial advisors, continued to have
discussions regarding the proposed exchange ratio. The two
management teams also discussed other key issues such as
transaction structure, management, integration risk, systems
compatibility and other transitional issues. These discussions
continued through June 2006. Concurrently, Barack Ferrazzano and
Howard & Howard negotiated, with input from their
respective clients, the terms of the merger agreement and
related documents, including proposed employment agreements for
the top and lower-tier management personnel. Throughout this
time period, the boards of directors of Centrue Financial and
UnionBancorp were kept advised of the progress made and the
issues under discussion. In addition, the Centrue Financial
board of directors met on June 21 and June 22 to engage in
additional discussions regarding the terms of the proposed
transaction, including discussion of the status of the merger
agreement and the status of conversations among the parties
relating to employment agreement terms and management
integration matters.
UnionBancorps board met on June 22, 2006.
Mr. Stevenson, representatives of Howard & Howard,
representatives of UnionBancorps independent auditor,
Crowe Chizek and Company LLC, and representatives of Sandler
ONeill were also in attendance. Based on the current draft
of the merger agreement, a representative of Howard &
Howard discussed legal issues associated with the merger
agreement and the boards fiduciary duties in considering
the merger agreement and answered questions from the board.
Messrs. Yeoman and Stevenson presented an assessment of the
benefits and risks associated with the proposed merger and
provided an overview of Centrue Financial including a historical
review and branch location descriptions. The scope and outcome
of the due diligence investigation was discussed and board
members were provided with executive overviews from the line of
business managers who were directly involved in the due
diligence process. Discussions also included a review of
integration strategies and the proposed organizational chart.
Representatives of Sandler ONeill provided a detailed
discussion of the analysis of the proposed merger and also
answered questions from the board.
On June 26, 2006, Mr. Daiber and an independent
director of Centrue Financial met with Mr. Yeoman, an
independent director of UnionBancorp and the Chairman of the
Board of UnionBancorp, to discuss further specifics with respect
to the employment and compensation arrangements, including final
identification of the parties who would enter into employment
agreements and the compensation and benefit levels for those
individuals. The parties continued discussions on these matters
as well as board structure over the next several days, while
counsel for the respective parties worked to finalize the merger
agreement and other documentation, including the disclosure
schedules delivered in connection with the merger agreement.
On June 30, 2006, the Centrue Financial board of directors
held a special meeting to consider the negotiated terms of the
transaction. The meeting included extensive discussion of the
proposed transaction, the merger agreement and updated
explanatory materials similar to those previously reviewed by
the Centrue Financial board at the June 13, 2006 meeting.
Barack Ferrazzano again reviewed with the board its fiduciary
duties and other legal considerations involved in a decision to
approve the contemplated transactions. Keefe Bruyette reviewed
the financial terms of the transaction, provided a financial
analysis of the proposed transaction and orally expressed an
opinion that the exchange ratio was fair to Centrue
Financials stockholders from a financial point of view.
Keefe Bruyette confirmed this oral opinion in writing by letter
dated June 30, 2006. At the conclusion of this portion of
the meeting, the Centrue Financial board determined
35
that the proposed merger of equals with UnionBancorp was in the
best interests of its stockholders and unanimously approved the
merger agreement and related transactions.
UnionBancorp also held a special meeting on June 30, 2006
to consider and vote on the proposed merger agreement and the
transactions related to the merger agreement.
Mr. Stevenson, representatives of Howard & Howard,
representatives of Crowe Chizek, and representatives of Sandler
ONeill were also in attendance. Mr. Yeoman began by
summarizing the activities which had taken place since the last
meeting of the board relating to discussions between
representatives of UnionBancorp and representatives of Centrue
Financial. He also summarized the results of due diligence
investigations. A representative of Howard & Howard
again discussed the fiduciary duties of the board in considering
the merger agreement and reviewed the terms of the merger
agreement, voting agreement, employment agreements, and other
matters. Finally, Sandler ONeill reviewed the financial
terms of the transaction, provided a financial analysis of the
proposed transaction and orally expressed an opinion that the
exchange ratio was fair to UnionBancorps stockholders from
a financial point of view, which Sandler ONeill
subsequently confirmed in writing by letter dated June 30,
2006. After extensive discussion, UnionBancorps board
determined that the proposed merger of equals with Centrue
Financial was in the best interests of its stockholders and
unanimously approved the merger agreement and related
transactions.
The merger agreement was signed by both Centrue Financial and
UnionBancorp after the closing of stock markets on June 30,
2006, and was publicly announced on June 30, 2006.
UnionBancorps Reasons for the Merger and Board
Recommendation
The UnionBancorp board believes that the merger is fair to,
and in the best interests of, UnionBancorp and the UnionBancorp
stockholders. Accordingly, the UnionBancorp board has
unanimously approved the merger agreement and unanimously
recommends that the UnionBancorp stockholders vote FOR the
adoption of the merger agreement.
The UnionBancorp board believes that the consummation of the
merger presents a unique opportunity to combine with one of
central Illinois leading community banking franchises to
create an even stronger Illinois community banking franchise
with an enhanced geographic presence and product development
capabilities.
In reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement, the
UnionBancorp board consulted with UnionBancorps
management, as well as with its financial and legal advisors,
and considered a variety of factors, including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
the fact that the exchange ratio represented an at-market
transaction based on the ratio of the market price of Centrue
Financial common stock to the market price of UnionBancorp
common stock, which the UnionBancorp board believed presented a
unique and attractive opportunity, and that the exchange ratio
would be fixed thereby reducing the risk that the transaction
would become dilutive to UnionBancorps stockholders; |
|
|
|
the potential cost saving opportunities and the related
potential positive impact on the combined companys
earnings, including, specifically, the elimination of
UnionBancorps current need to upgrade its operating
platform by converting to the operating platform currently in
use at Centrue Financial; |
|
|
|
the opportunities for revenue enhancements through the
development of more extensive product offerings, including cash
management and private banking, by a combined company with
significantly greater resources than either standing alone, and
the ability to leverage UnionBancorps asset management
business over a larger franchise; |
|
|
|
the opportunity to build greater brand recognition and awareness; |
|
|
|
the governance arrangements with respect to the combined company
post-merger, including the fact that Mr. McDonnell would
serve as Chairman of the combined company, Mr. Yeoman would
serve as Chief Operating Officer, and Mr. Stevenson would
serve as Chief Financial Officer, as well as, the proposed
composition of the board of directors; |
36
|
|
|
|
|
the belief of UnionBancorps senior management that the
managements and employees of Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp
possess complementary skills and expertise and the potential
advantages of a larger institution when pursuing, or seeking to
retain, production and management talent; |
|
|
|
the benefit and convenience to the combined companys
customers resulting from the greater number of retail banking
outlets spread over a broader geographic area that would become
available to them for the conduct of their banking business, as
well as the increased penetration of the northern, central and
southwestern Illinois markets; |
|
|
|
the opportunity to leverage UnionBancorps recent success
in centralization, standardization, and consolidation of
non-sales related operations across Centrue Financials
diverse operations platforms, thereby enhancing
revenue-generating activities in all branch locations; |
|
|
|
the complementary nature and similarities in the markets served
by Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp; |
|
|
|
Centrue Financials community banking philosophy, and
stated commitment to local decision-making, and involvement by
its leaders in the communities that it serves; |
|
|
|
the tax-free nature of the transaction due to the all-stock
consideration to be utilized in the merger; |
|
|
|
the competence, experience, and integrity of Centrue
Financials senior officers; |
|
|
|
the growing accounting, legal and regulatory compliance costs
for publicly-traded institutions and the ability to spread such
costs over a significantly larger revenue base; |
|
|
|
the increasingly high costs of product development and
technology and the probability that such costs are likely to
continue to increase in the future; |
|
|
|
the belief that, following the merger, the combined entity will
be well-positioned to continue to grow through possible future
acquisitions or expansions while at the same time increasing its
attractiveness as a possible merger candidate; and
correspondingly, the ability to make strategic divestitures from
time-to-time which
should have a reduced impact on a larger-sized institution; |
|
|
|
the opinion of Sandler ONeill that, as of June 30,
2006, the exchange ratio in the merger was fair from a financial
point of view to UnionBancorp stockholders (see
Fairness Opinion of UnionBancorps
Financial Advisor); |
|
|
|
the anticipated increase in the liquidity of the combined
companys stock resulting from a significantly expanded
stockholder base and the potential increase in interest from
institutional investors and securities analysis; and |
|
|
|
the likelihood that the merger will be approved by the
appropriate regulatory authorities in a timely manner (see
Regulatory Approvals). |
The foregoing discussion of the information and factors
considered by the UnionBancorp board is not intended to be
exhaustive, but includes all material factors considered by the
UnionBancorp board. In reaching its determination to approve and
recommend the merger, the UnionBancorp board did not assign any
relative or specific weights to the foregoing factors, and
individual directors may have given differing weights to
different factors. The UnionBancorp board is unanimous in its
recommendation that UnionBancorp stockholders vote for approval
and adoption of the merger agreement.
Centrue Financials Reasons for the Merger and Board
Recommendation
The Centrue Financial board of directors believes that the
merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, Centrue
Financial and its stockholders. Accordingly, the Centrue
Financial board has unanimously approved the merger agreement
and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote FOR
the approval of the merger agreement and the transactions it
contemplates.
37
Centrue Financials board has concluded that the proposed
merger offers stockholders an extremely attractive opportunity
to achieve the boards strategic business objectives. These
objectives included increasing stockholder value and growing the
size of the business to one of the premier financial
institutions in central Illinois.
In deciding to approve the merger agreement and the transactions
it contemplates, Centrue Financials board consulted with
management, as well as its legal counsel and financial advisors,
and considered numerous factors, including the following:
|
|
|
|
|
information with respect to the businesses, earnings,
operations, financial condition, prospects, capital levels and
asset quality of Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp, both
individually and as a combined company; in particular, the
Centrue Financial board focused on the strategic fit of the
business lines and the operating philosophies of the two
institutions; |
|
|
|
the perceived risks and uncertainties attendant to Centrue
Financials execution of its strategic growth plans as an
independent banking organization, including the need to hire and
retain management personnel, including a Chief Financial
Officer, in order to support and enhance future growth; |
|
|
|
the fact that the merger would combine two solid and emerging
banking franchises to create a $1.3 billion bank that would
have a top 50 deposit share in Illinois; |
|
|
|
the consistency of the merger with Centrue Financials
long-term strategic vision to seek profitable future expansion
in the far southern and southwestern Chicago suburbs, providing
the foundation for advancement into both the Chicago
metropolitan and St. Louis metropolitan areas, leading to
continued growth in overall stockholder value; |
|
|
|
the complementary nature of the businesses of Centrue Financial
and UnionBancorp and the anticipated improved stability of the
combined companys business and earnings in varying
economic and market climates relative to Centrue Financial on a
stand-alone basis; |
|
|
|
the combination of the significant management talent of both
organizations, which would provide for operational synergies and
efficiencies; |
|
|
|
the belief of Centrue Financials senior management and the
Centrue Financial board that the two companies share a common
vision with respect to delivering financial performance and
stockholder value and that their executive officers and
employees possess complementary skills and expertise; |
|
|
|
the advantages of a combination with an institution such as
UnionBancorp that already has a significant market share in the
northern central Illinois markets and the opportunities for
increased efficiencies and significant cost savings resulting
from a combination with UnionBancorps current
organization, resulting in increased profitability of the
combined entity over time, as compared to a possible combination
without a similar market presence; |
|
|
|
the fact that the combined company would continue to be publicly
held following the merger, providing the combined companys
stockholders with continued access to a public trading market,
and that stockholders would be expected to have increased
liquidity for their shares as a result of the higher market
capitalization of the combined company; |
|
|
|
the fact that the market capitalization of the combined
institution, as compared with Centrue Financials market
capitalization as a stand-alone entity, was expected to provide
the company with increased access to capital markets to finance
the combined companys capital requirements, and in
addition would provide for enhanced market visibility; |
|
|
|
the fact that the higher market capitalization of the combined
company was expected to enhance the attractiveness of the
companys stock going forward, which would make the stock
more attractive as consideration to be used in future
acquisition opportunities that may allow for increased
stockholder value; |
38
|
|
|
|
|
the current and prospective economic and competitive
environments facing Centrue Financial and other financial
institutions, characterized by intensifying competition from
both banks and nonbank financial service organizations, and the
growing costs associated with regulatory compliance in the
industry; |
|
|
|
the belief that the market value of UnionBancorps common
stock prior to the execution of the merger agreement offered
favorable prospects for future appreciation as a result of the
proposed merger and other strategic initiatives that would be
implemented by the combined company; |
|
|
|
the belief that the merger would result in stockholders of
Centrue Financial receiving stock in a high quality combined
company that should benefit stockholders through enhanced
operating efficiencies and better penetration of commercial and
consumer banking markets in Illinois; |
|
|
|
the belief that, while no assurances could be given, the
business and financial advantages contemplated in connection
with the merger were likely to be achieved within a reasonable
time frame, particularly in light of the fact that the
organizations have transition experience due to recent
successfully completed acquisitions, divestitures, charter
consolidations and/or data processing conversions; |
|
|
|
the opinion of Keefe Bruyette that, as of June 30, 2006,
the exchange ratio offered in the merger was fair from a
financial point of view to Centrue Financials stockholders
(see Fairness Opinion of Centrue
Financials Financial Advisor); and |
|
|
|
the likelihood that the merger will be approved by the relevant
bank regulatory authorities
(see Regulatory Approval). |
The above discussion of the information and factors considered
by the Centrue Financial board is not intended to be exhaustive,
but includes the material factors they considered. In arriving
at its determination to approve the merger agreement and the
transactions it contemplates, and recommend that the Centrue
Financial stockholders vote to approve them, the Centrue
Financial board did not assign any relative or specific weights
to the above factors, and individual directors may have given
differing weights to different factors. The Centrue Financial
board unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote to
approve the merger agreement and the related transactions.
Fairness Opinion of UnionBancorps Financial Advisor
By letter dated May 25, 2006, UnionBancorp retained Sandler
ONeill to act as its financial advisor in connection with
a possible business combination with Centrue Financial. Sandler
ONeill is a nationally recognized investment banking firm
whose principal business specialty is financial institutions. In
the ordinary course of its investment banking business, Sandler
ONeill is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial
institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and
acquisitions and other corporate transactions.
Sandler ONeill acted as financial advisor to UnionBancorp
in connection with the proposed transaction. At the
June 30, 2006 meeting at which UnionBancorps board
considered and approved the merger agreement, Sandler
ONeill delivered to the board its oral opinion, that, as
of such date, the exchange ratio was fair to UnionBancorp and
UnionBancorps shareholders from a financial point of view.
The full text of Sandler ONeills opinion is
attached as Appendix B to this joint proxy
statement/ prospectus. The opinion outlines the procedures
followed, assumptions made, matters considered and
qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by
Sandler ONeill in rendering its opinion. The description
of the opinion set forth below is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the opinion. Sandler ONeill urges
UnionBancorps shareholders to read the entire opinion
carefully in connection with their consideration of the proposed
merger.
Sandler ONeills opinion speaks only as of the
date of the opinion. The opinion was directed to
UnionBancorps board and is directed only to the fairness
of the Centrue exchange ratio to UnionBancorp and
UnionBancorps shareholders from a financial point of view.
It does not address the underlying business decision of
UnionBancorp to engage in the merger or any other aspect of the
merger and is not a recommendation to any UnionBancorp
shareholder as to how such shareholder should vote at the
special meeting with respect to the merger or any other
matter.
39
In connection with rendering its June 30, 2006 opinion,
Sandler ONeill reviewed and considered, among other things:
|
|
|
|
|
the merger agreement; |
|
|
|
certain publicly available financial statements and other
historical financial information of UnionBancorp that they
deemed relevant; |
|
|
|
certain publicly available financial statements and other
historical financial information of Centrue Financial that they
deemed relevant; |
|
|
|
earnings per share estimates for UnionBancorp for the years
ending December 31, 2006 through 2009 as provided by, and
reviewed with, senior management of UnionBancorp; |
|
|
|
internal financial projections for Centrue Financial for the
years ending December 31, 2006 through 2008 provided by and
reviewed with senior management of Centrue Financial and as
reviewed with and adjusted by senior management of UnionBancorp
and estimated financial projections for the year ended
December 31, 2009 as discussed with senior management of
UnionBancorp; |
|
|
|
the pro forma financial impact of the Merger on UnionBancorp,
based on assumptions relating to transaction expenses, purchase
accounting adjustments and cost savings determined by the senior
management of UnionBancorp; |
|
|
|
the publicly reported historical price and trading activity for
UnionBancorps and Centrue Financials common stock,
including a comparison of certain financial and stock market
information for UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial and similar
publicly available information for certain other companies the
securities of which are publicly traded; |
|
|
|
to the extent publicly available, the financial terms of certain
recent merger of equals type business combinations in the
commercial banking industry; |
|
|
|
the current market environment generally and the banking
environment in particular; and |
|
|
|
such other information, financial studies, analyses and
investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as
they considered relevant. |
Sandler ONeill also discussed with certain members of
senior management of UnionBancorp the business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects of UnionBancorp
and held similar discussions with certain members of senior
management of Centrue Financial regarding the business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects of
Centrue Financial.
In performing its reviews and analyses and in rendering its
opinion, Sandler ONeill relied upon the accuracy and
completeness of all the financial and other information that was
available to them from public sources or that was provided to
Sandler ONeill by UnionBancorp or Centrue Financial or
their respective representatives and have assumed such accuracy
and completeness for purposes of such reviews and analysis and
in rendering its opinion. Sandler ONeill further relied on
the assurances of the managements of each UnionBancorp and
Centrue Financial that they are not aware of any facts or
circumstances that would make any of such information inaccurate
or misleading. Sandler ONeill was not asked to undertake,
and did not undertake, an independent verification of any such
information and Sandler ONeill assumes no responsibility
or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof. Sandler
ONeill did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal
of the specific assets, the collateral securing the assets or
the liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of UnionBancorp or
Centrue Financial or any of their subsidiaries, or the
collectibility of any such assets, nor was Sandler ONeill
furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. Sandler
ONeill did not make an independent evaluation of the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of UnionBancorp or
Centrue Financial nor has Sandler ONeill reviewed any
individual credit files relating to UnionBancorp or Centrue
Financial. Sandler ONeill assumed, with
UnionBancorps consent, that the respective allowances for
loan losses for both UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial were
adequate to cover such losses.
40
With respect to the earnings estimates for UnionBancorp and
Centrue Financial reviewed with the managements of UnionBancorp
and Centrue Financial respectively and used by Sandler
ONeill in its analyses, UnionBancorps and Centrue
Financials managements confirmed to Sandler ONeill
that they reflected the best currently available estimates and
judgments of the respective managements of the respective future
financial performances of UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial,
respectively. With respect to the projections of transaction
expenses and cost savings determined by and reviewed with the
senior management of UnionBancorp, such senior management
confirmed to Sandler ONeill that they reflected the best
currently available estimates and judgments of such senior
management and Sandler ONeill assumed that such
performances would be achieved. Sandler ONeill expressed
no opinion as to such financial projections or the assumptions
on which they were based. Sandler ONeill also assumed that
there has been no material change in UnionBancorps and
Centrue Financials assets, financial condition, results of
operations, business or prospects since the date of the most
recent financial statements made available to Sandler
ONeill. Sandler ONeill assumed in all respects
material to its analysis that UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial
would remain as going concerns for all periods relevant to
Sandler ONeills analyses, that all of the
representations and warranties contained in the Agreement and
all related agreements were true and correct, that each party to
the agreements will perform all of the covenants required to be
performed by such party under the agreements, that the
conditions precedent in the agreements are not waived and that
the Merger will be a tax-free reorganization for federal income
tax purposes. Finally, with Unions consent, Sandler
ONeill relied upon the advice UnionBancorp received from
its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal,
accounting and tax matters relating to the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated by the Agreement.
Sandler ONeills opinion was necessarily based upon
financial, economic, market and other conditions as they existed
on, and could be evaluated as of, the date of its opinion.
Events occurring after the date of its opinion could materially
affect Sandler ONeills opinion. Sandler ONeill
has not undertaken to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw its
opinion or otherwise comment upon events occurring after the
date of its opinion. Sandler ONeill expressed no opinion
as to what the value of UnionBancorps common stock will be
when it is issued to Centrue Financials shareholders
pursuant to the Agreement or the prices at which
UnionBancorps and Centrue Financials common stock
may trade at any time.
In rendering its June 30, 2006 opinion, Sandler
ONeill performed a variety of financial analyses. The
following is a summary of the material analyses performed by
Sandler ONeill, but is not a complete description of all
the analyses underlying Sandler ONeills opinion. The
summary includes information presented in tabular format. In
order to fully understand the financial analyses, these tables
must be read together with the accompanying text. The tables
alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial
analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex
process involving subjective judgments as to the most
appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the
application of those methods to the particular circumstances.
The process, therefore, is not necessarily susceptible to a
partial analysis or summary description. Sandler ONeill
believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and
that selecting portions of the factors and analyses to be
considered without considering all factors and analyses, or
attempting to ascribe relative weights to some or all such
factors and analyses, could create an incomplete view of the
evaluation process underlying its opinion. Also, no company
included in Sandler ONeills comparative analyses
described below is identical to UnionBancorp or Centrue
Financial and no transaction is identical to those described in
the registration statement. Accordingly, an analysis of
comparable companies or transactions involves complex
considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial
and operating characteristics of the companies and other factors
that could affect the public trading values or merger
transaction values, as the case may be, of UnionBancorp and
Centrue Financial and the companies to which they are being
compared.
In performing its analyses, Sandler ONeill also made
numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance,
business and economic conditions and various other matters, many
of which cannot be predicted and are beyond the control of
UnionBancorp, Centrue Financial and Sandler ONeill. The
analyses performed by Sandler ONeill are not necessarily
indicative of actual values or future results, which may be
significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such
analyses. Sandler ONeill prepared its analyses solely for
purposes of rendering its opinion and provided such analyses to
the UnionBancorp board at the boards
41
June 30, 2006 meeting. Estimates on the values of companies
do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the
prices at which companies or their securities may actually be
sold. Such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty and
actual values may be materially different.
Summary of Proposal. Sandler ONeill reviewed the
financial terms of the proposed transaction. Using a fixed
exchange ratio of 1.20 share of UnionBancorp common stock
for each share of Centrue Financial common stock and based upon
3,742,651 common shares outstanding, 301,675 options outstanding
at a weighted-average exercise price of $15.74 for UnionBancorp,
and 2,238,164 common shares outstanding and 204,800 options
outstanding at a weighted-average exercise price of $25.28 for
Centrue Financial. Sandler ONeill calculated the following
pro forma ownership ratios:

Net Present Value Analysis. Sandler ONeill
performed an analysis that estimated the net present value per
share of Centrue Financial common stock through
December 31, 2009 under various circumstances and assuming
that Centrue Financial performs in accordance with
managements financial projections and forecasted growth
for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and
the estimated financial projections for 2009 as discussed with
senior management of UnionBancorp. To approximate the terminal
value of Centrue Financial common stock at December 31,
2009, Sandler ONeill applied price to last twelve months
earnings per share multiples of 14.0x to 18.0x and multiples of
tangible book value ranging from 125% to 200%. The terminal
values were then discounted to present values using different
discount rates ranging from 9.0% to 15.0% chosen to reflect
different assumptions regarding required rates of return of
holders or prospective buyers of Centrue Financial common stock.
In addition, the terminal value of Centrue Financials
common stock at December 31, 2009 was calculated using the
same range of price to last twelve months earnings multiples
(14.0x to 18.0x) applied to a range of discounts and premiums to
managements projections. The range applied to the
projected net income was 25% under projections to 25% over
projections, using a discount rate of 12.10% for the tabular
analysis. As illustrated in the following tables, this analysis
indicated an imputed range of values per share for Centrue
Financial common stock of $20.95 to $32.50 when applying the
price to earnings multiples to the matched financial
projections, $17.18 to $36.82 when applying
44
the price to earnings multiples to the -25% to +25% projection
range, and $15.33 to $29.58 when applying multiples of tangible
book value to the matched financial projections.

Sandler ONeill also performed an analysis that estimated
the net present value per share of UnionBancorp common stock
through December 31, 2009 under various circumstances and
assuming that UnionBancorp performs in accordance with
managements financial projections for the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. To approximate the
terminal value of UnionBancorp common stock at December 31,
2009, Sandler ONeill applied price to last twelve months
earnings per share multiples of 14.0x to 18.0x and multiples of
tangible book value ranging from 125% to 200%. The terminal
values were then discounted to present values using different
discount rates ranging from 9.0% to 15.0% chosen to reflect
different assumptions regarding required rates of return of

In connection with its analyses, Sandler ONeill considered
and discussed with the UnionBancorp board how the present value
analyses would be affected by changes in the underlying
assumptions. Sandler ONeill noted that the net present
value analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but the
results of such methodology are highly dependent upon the
numerous assumptions that must be made, and the results thereof
are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future
results.
46

history of the reported trading prices and volume of Centrue
Financials and UnionBancorps common stock and the

500 Index, the NASDAQ Bank Index, the Standard &
Poors Bank Index and the median performance of the Peer
Group. The composition of the Peer Group is discussed under the

Pro Forma Merger Analysis. Sandler ONeill analyzed
certain potential pro forma effects of the merger, assuming the
following: (1) the merger closes on December 31, 2006;
(2) 100.0% of Centrue Financial shares are exchanged for
Merger Sub common stock at a fixed exchange ratio of 1.20 and
100% of UnionBancorp shares are exchanged for Merger Sub common
stock at a fixed exchange ratio of 1.00; (3) Centrue
Financials 2006, 2007, and 2008 financial and growth
projections; (4) UnionBancorps 2006, 2007, 2008, and
2009 financial projections; (6) purchase accounting
adjustments, charges and transaction costs associated with the
merger and cost savings determined by the senior managements of
UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial. The analyses indicated that
for the year ending December 31, 2007 (the first full year
of combined operations), the merger would be accretive to
UnionBancorps projected earnings per share and, at
December 31, 2006 (the assumed closing date of the merger)
the merger would be dilutive to UnionBancorps tangible
book value per share. The actual results achieved by the
combined company may vary from projected results and the
variations may be material.
47
UnionBancorp has paid Sandler ONeill an initial retainer
of $25,000 as well as a fairness opinion fee in connection with
the delivery of its opinion of $100,000 and will pay Sandler
ONeill an additional fee of $75,000 upon the closing of
the transaction. UnionBancorp has also agreed to reimburse
certain of Sandler ONeills reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with its engagement and to indemnify
Sandler ONeill and its affiliates and their respective
partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, and
controlling persons against certain expenses and liabilities,
including liabilities under securities laws.
In the ordinary course of its business as a broker-dealer,
Sandler ONeill may purchase securities from and sell
securities to UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial and their
respective affiliates. Sandler ONeill may also actively
trade the debt and/or equity securities of UnionBancorp or
Centrue Financial or their respective affiliates for its own
account and for the accounts of its customers and, accordingly,
may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.
Fairness Opinion of Centrue Financials Financial
Advisor
In May 2006, the Centrue Financial board of directors retained
Keefe Bruyette as its financial advisor in connection with
Centrue Financials consideration of a possible merger
transaction with a third party and to render an opinion with
respect to the fairness from a financial point of view of the
consideration to be received by Centrue Financials
stockholders. As Centrue Financials financial advisor,
Keefe Bruyette assisted Centrue Financial in analyzing
UnionBancorps proposal and negotiating certain terms of
the merger included in the merger agreement. In connection with
Keefe Bruyettes engagement, Centrue Financial asked Keefe
Bruyette to evaluate the fairness of the merger consideration to
Centrue Financials stockholders from a financial point of
view. On June 13, 2006, Keefe Bruyette delivered its
preliminary oral opinion to Centrue Financials board of
directors that, as of June 13, 2006, and based upon and
subject to various matters set forth in that opinion, the merger
consideration was fair to Centrue Financials stockholders
from a financial point of view. On June 30, 2006, Keefe
Bruyette delivered its final oral opinion to Centrue
Financials board of directors, subsequently confirmed in
writing, that as of June 30, 2006, and based upon and
subject to various matters set forth in that opinion, the merger
consideration was fair to Centrue Financials stockholders
from a financial point of view.
With Keefe Bruyettes consent, the full text of Keefe
Bruyettes opinion, dated June 30, 2006, which sets
forth a description of the procedures followed, assumptions
made, matters considered and limits on the review undertaken in
connection with such opinion, is attached to this document as
Appendix C and is incorporated herein by reference.
Centrue Financial stockholders are urged to read the opinion in
its entirety. Keefe Bruyettes opinion is directed to
Centrue Financials board of directors and relates only to
the fairness of the consideration provided in the merger
agreement from a financial point of view and does not address
any other aspect of the proposed merger or any related
transaction, and does not constitute a recommendation to any
stockholder as to how such a stockholder should vote with
respect to the merger or any other matter. The following summary
of the opinion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the opinion. This summary does not purport to be a
complete description of the analysis performed by Keefe Bruyette
and should not be construed independent of the other information
considered by Keefe Bruyette in rendering its opinion. Selecting
portions of Keefe Bruyettes analysis or isolating certain
aspects of the comparable transactions without considering all
analyses and factors could create an incomplete or potentially
misleading view of the evaluation process.
In rendering its opinion, Keefe Bruyette reviewed, analyzed and
relied upon the following material relating to the financial and
operating condition of Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp:
|
|
|
|
|
a draft of the merger agreement; |
|
|
|
historical financial and other information concerning
UnionBancorp, including UnionBancorps annual reports to
stockholders and annual reports on
Form 10-K for the
three fiscal years ended December 31, 2005, and certain
quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q; |
48
|
|
|
|
|
historical financial and other information concerning Centrue
Financial, including annual reports to stockholders and annual
reports on
Form 10-K for the
three fiscal years ended December 31, 2005, and certain
quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q; |
|
|
|
discussions with senior management of Centrue Financial and
UnionBancorp with respect to their past and current business
operations, regulatory matters, financial condition and future
prospects; |
|
|
|
earnings per share estimates for Centrue Financial for the years
ending December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, as prepared by
management and discussed with Centrue Financial management; |
|
|
|
earnings per share estimates for UnionBancorp for the years
ending December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, as prepared by
management and discussed with UnionBancorp management; |
|
|
|
historical stock prices and trading volumes of the common stock
of Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp; |
|
|
|
the pro forma financial impact of the merger on UnionBancorp and
Centrue Financial, based on assumptions relating to transaction
expenses, purchase accounting adjustments, cost savings and
other synergies determined by the senior management of
UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial; |
|
|
|
certain publicly available information of other financial
institutions that Keefe Bruyette deemed comparable or otherwise
relevant to its inquiry, and a comparison of Centrue Financial
and UnionBancorp from a financial point of view with certain of
those institutions; |
|
|
|
financial terms of certain recent business combinations in the
banking industry that Keefe Bruyette deemed comparable or
otherwise relevant to its inquiry; and |
|
|
|
other financial studies, analyses and investigations and such
other information as Keefe Bruyette deemed appropriate to enable
it to render its opinion. |
Keefe Bruyette also considered such financial and other factors
as it deemed appropriate under the circumstances and took into
account its assessment of general economic, market and financial
conditions and its experience in similar transactions, as well
as its experience in securities valuation and its knowledge of
financial institutions, including banks, bank holding companies,
thrifts and other financial services companies generally. Keefe
Bruyettes opinion was based upon conditions as they
existed on the date of the opinion and could only be evaluated
as of such date thereof. In addition, the opinion was based upon
information made available to Keefe Bruyette through the date of
its opinion. The analyses performed by Keefe Bruyette are not
necessarily indicative of actual value or future results, which
may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by
such analyses and do not purport to be appraisals or reflect the
prices at which a business may be sold.
In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, Keefe
Bruyette relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness
of all of the financial and other information provided to it or
publicly available, and Keefe Bruyette did not attempt to verify
such information independently. Keefe Bruyette relied upon the
management of Centrue Financial as to the reasonableness and
achievability of the financial and operating forecasts (and the
assumptions and bases therefor) provided to Keefe Bruyette and
assumed that such forecasts reflected the best available
estimates and judgments of Centrue Financial and
UnionBancorps management and that such forecasts would be
realized in the amounts and in the time periods estimated by
management. Keefe Bruyette also assumed, without independent
verification, that Centrue Financials aggregate allowance
for loan losses is adequate to cover such losses. Keefe Bruyette
did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of the
property of Centrue Financial or UnionBancorp, nor did Keefe
Bruyette examine any individual loan credit files.
For purposes of rendering its opinion, Keefe Bruyette assumed
that, in all respects material to its analyses:
|
|
|
|
|
the merger will be completed substantially in accordance with
the terms set forth in the merger agreement; |
49
|
|
|
|
|
the representations and warranties of each party in the merger
agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred
to in the merger agreement are true and correct; |
|
|
|
each party to the merger agreement and all related documents
will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be
performed by such party under such documents; |
|
|
|
all conditions to the completion of the merger will be satisfied
without any waivers; and |
|
|
|
in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory,
contractual, or other consents or approvals for the merger, no
restrictions, including any divestiture requirements or
amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a
material adverse effect on the future results of operations or
financial condition of Centrue Financial, UnionBancorp or the
combined entity, as the case may be, or the contemplated
benefits of the merger. |
The following summary contains the material financial analyses
employed by Keefe Bruyette in connection with providing its
opinion, including summaries relating to the consideration
structure and transaction overview, selected comparable public
company analysis for Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp, a pro
forma merger analysis, selected merger transactions comparison
and discounted cash flow analysis. For purposes of such
analyses, the financial information used by Keefe Bruyette for
Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp and the comparable companies
was as of, and for the quarter and twelve months ended,
March 31, 2006, and market price information was as of
June 27, 2006, unless otherwise noted. This summary does
not purport to be a complete description of all analyses
employed by Keefe Bruyette.
Transaction Overview. In providing an overview of the
merger, Keefe Bruyette noted that each Centrue Financial
stockholder would be receiving $24.06 per share (based on
the closing price of UnionBancorp common stock on June 27,
2006) or an implied total consideration of $54.3 million
(based on the number of Centrue Financial common shares
outstanding on June 27, 2006 of 2,233,939, and an

Pro Forma Merger Analysis. Keefe Bruyette performed a pro
forma financial analysis for the merger. Assumptions regarding
the core deposit intangible amortization, earnings, fair market
value adjustments and cost savings were used to calculate the
projected financial impact that the merger would have on certain
pro forma financial results of Centrue Financial and
UnionBancorp stockholders. The following assumptions were made:
|
|
|
|
|
2.7 million shares of UnionBancorp common stock issued as
stock consideration, based on the number of shares of Centrue
Financial common stock outstanding as of June 27, 2006,
including shares underlying restricted stock units but excluding
shares underlying stock options; |
|
|
|
UnionBancorp 2006 and 2007 GAAP earnings per share of $1.34 and
$1.46 per UnionBancorp management; |
|
|
|
Centrue Financial 2006 and 2007 GAAP earnings per share of $1.75
and $2.10 per Centrue Financial management; |
|
|
|
Cost savings of 9.3% of the combined entitys projected
non-interest expense; 64% of cost saves achieved in 2007 and
100% achieved in 2008; |
|
|
|
Transaction related expenses of $2.7 million after-tax; |
|
|
|
Core deposit intangibles equal to 3% of Centrue Financials
core deposits totaling $7.6 million of intangibles, taxed
at 35%, amortized using straight-line over 10 years; |
|
|
|
$2.8 million in net asset
(held-to-maturity and
available-for-sale securities) adjustments resulting in $360,000
in after tax GAAP amortization income in 2007 and 2008. |
Keefe Bruyette also calculated the year end 2007 and 2008
projected pro forma GAAP and cash earnings per share
accretion/(dilution) to UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial,
while including the purchase accounting fair market value
adjustments estimated by Centrue Financial management.

Comparable Acquisitions Analysis. Keefe Bruyette analyzed
a group of select bank and thrift merger of equals transactions.
The analysis compared the announced deal value of these
transactions relative to the last twelve months earnings,
estimated earnings, stated book value, stated tangible book
value, core deposit premium, and one month market premium. The
information analyzed was compiled by Keefe Bruyette from
internal sources as well as from a data firm that monitors and
publishes transaction summaries and descriptions of mergers and
acquisitions in the financial services industry.
The merger transaction group included 10 bank and thrift mergers
with transaction values ranging from approximately
$173.4 million to $1.9 billion announced between
October 28, 1991 and June 27, 2006 which were selected
based on their merger of equals characteristics.

No company or transaction used as a comparison in the above
analysis is identical to Centrue Financial or the merger.
Accordingly, a review of these results is not solely
mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and
judgments concerning differences in financial and operating
characteristics of the companies and transactions examined.
Discounted Cash Flow and Terminal Value Analysis. Keefe
Bruyette estimated the present value of Centrue Financials
common stock based on continued independence and Centrue
Financials stake in the combined entity by calculating the
present value of Centrue Financials projected cash flows
and the projected cash flows of the combined entity. Keefe
Bruyettes analysis assumes that excess capital above a
6.0% tangible equity/tangible assets ratio represents free cash
flow available for dividends. For purposes of this analysis,
Keefe Bruyette applied a discount rate of 14.0%. Keefe Bruyette
relied on financial projections provided by Centrue
Financials management and UnionBancorps management
and assumed terminal values of 14 times projected forward
earnings. The analysis resulted in an estimated standalone value
of $51.0 million or $22.73 per share representing
continued independence, and an estimated pro forma value of
$68.1 million or $30.18 per share representing Centrue
Financials portion of the combined entity.
Keefe Bruyette also ran sensitivity analysis on the discounted
cash flows using terminal values of 12 to 16 times projected
forward earnings. In the standalone scenario for Centrue
Financial the three other variables used were discount rates
ranging from 13.0% to 15.0%, cost savings ranging from 0.0% to
4.0% and tangible equity/tangible asset targets ranging from
5.0% to 7.0%. The analysis resulted in the standalone values for
Centrue Financial ranging from $36.3 million to
$69.4 million. In the pro forma scenario for the combined
entity the three other variables used were discount rates
ranging from 13.0% to 15.0%, cost savings ranging from 7.0% to
11.0% and tangible equity/tangible asset targets ranging from
5.5% to 7.5%. The analysis resulted in values for Centrue
Financials portion of the combined entity ranging from
$51.1 million to $78.6 million.
Keefe Bruyette stated that the discounted cash flow present
value analysis is widely used valuation methodology, but noted
that it relies on numerous assumptions including asset and
earnings growth rates, terminal values and discount rates. The
analysis did not purport to be indicative of the actual values
or expected values of Centrue Financial common stock or the
common stock of the combined entity.

the delivery of Keefe Bruyettes opinion (the Opinion
Fee). Centrue Financial also has agreed to reimburse Keefe
Bruyette for certain reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with its engagement and to indemnify
Keefe Bruyette and Keefe Bruyettes affiliates and their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
controlling persons against certain expenses and liabilities,
including liability under the federal securities laws.
Conduct of Business Pending the Merger and Certain
Covenants
Under the merger agreement, UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial
have each agreed to certain restrictions on their activities
until the merger is completed or the merger agreement is
terminated. In general, we are required to conduct our
operations in the ordinary course of business. The following is
a summary of the more significant restrictions and obligations
imposed upon us. Subject to the exceptions set forth in the
merger agreement, UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial must:
|
|
|
|
|
not issue any additional shares of stock; |
|
|
|
confer with each other on material operational matters; |
|
|
|
make loans only in accordance with sound credit practices and on
arms-length terms and obtain the consent of the other before
making any new loans greater than $3,000,000; |
|
|
|
cause our respective allowances for loan and lease losses to be
adequate in all material respects; |
|
|
|
file, on a timely basis, all required regulatory
filings; and |
|
|
|
not take any action that would cause a breach of any of our
representation and warranties. |
We have also agreed to provide the other with certain documents
before the closing date, including:
|
|
|
|
|
interim financial statements; and |
|
|
|
reasonable notice of any fact or condition creating a breach of
the merger agreement. |
Centrue Financial has agreed that it will not encourage any
third-party proposals to acquire Centrue Financial and will not
participate in negotiations regarding a proposal to acquire
Centrue Financial. However, Centrue Financial may provide
information and negotiate with a third party if Centrue
Financials board of directors determines that failure to
do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties. Centrue
Financial is required under the merger agreement to provide
UnionBancorp notice of any proposal it receives to acquire
Centrue Financial.
Correspondingly, UnionBancorp has agreed that it will not
encourage any third-party proposals to acquire UnionBancorp and
will not participate in negotiations regarding a proposal to
acquire UnionBancorp. However, UnionBancorp may provide
information and negotiate with a third party if
UnionBancorps board of directors determines that failure
to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties.
UnionBancorp is required under the merger agreement to provide
Centrue Financial notice of any proposal it receives to acquire
UnionBancorp.
57
In addition, both parties have agreed:
|
|
|
|
|
to use all reasonable efforts and to cooperate in the
preparation and filing of all applications, notices and
documents required to obtain regulatory approval and/or consents
from governmental authorities for the merger and the merger
agreement; |
|
|
|
to use reasonable and diligent good faith efforts to satisfy the
conditions required to close the merger and to complete the
merger as soon as practicable; |
|
|
|
that neither will intentionally act in a manner that would cause
a breach of the merger agreement or that would cause a
representation made in the merger agreement to become untrue; |
|
|
|
to provide the other party with reasonable access to information
under the condition that the information be kept
confidential; and |
|
|
|
to coordinate publicity of the transactions contemplated by the
merger agreement with the media and their respective
stockholders. |
Centrue Financial has agreed to file all applications and
notices to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for the
transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.
Each of us has agreed to cooperate with the other in connection
with obtaining the requisite regulatory and Securities and
Exchange Commission approvals.
The foregoing is an outline of the types of covenants made by
UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial contained in the merger
agreement, a copy of which is included at
Appendix A. You should carefully review the entire
agreement and in particular Articles 6, 7 and 8,
containing the detailed covenants of the parties.

an opinion from Sandler ONeill & Partners, L.P.
to the effect that the merger is fair to UnionBancorps

the employment agreements between each of Thomas A. Daiber,
Scott A. Yeoman and Kurt R. Stevenson and UnionBancorp must be

have been received. |
Centrue Financial is only required to complete the merger if the
following conditions are satisfied:
|
|
|
|
|
UnionBancorps representations and warranties in the merger
agreement must be accurate as of the date of the merger
agreement and as of the date the merger becomes effective,
except for any untrue or incorrect representations and
warranties that do not have a material adverse effect on
UnionBancorp on a consolidated basis or on Centrue
Financials rights under the merger agreement; |
|
|
|
UnionBancorp must have performed and complied with all of its
covenants and obligations under the merger agreement, except

or on Centrue Financials rights under the merger agreement; |
|
|
|
all proceedings to be taken by UnionBancorp in connection with
the merger, and all documents relating to these proceedings,

for Centrue Financial; |
|

have been approved by UnionBancorps and Centrue

|
|
|
there must not be pending any proceeding involving any challenge
to, or seeking damages or other relief in connection with, the
merger, or that may have the effect of preventing, delaying,
making illegal or otherwise interfering with the merger, in
either case that would reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on UnionBancorp or its stockholders or on Centrue
Financials rights under the merger agreement; |
|
|
|
there must not have been since the date of the merger agreement
any event or occurrence that would be reasonably likely to have
a material adverse effect on UnionBancorp or any of its
subsidiaries; |

Neither party can be certain as to when or if all of the
conditions to the merger can or will be satisfied or waived by
the party permitted to do so. If the merger is not completed by
March 1, 2007 or such later date as the parties may agree,
either of our boards of directors may terminate the merger
agreement and abandon the merger; provided, however, that the
party responsible for a condition not being met prior to
March 1, 2007 or such later date as the parties may agree,
may not terminate the merger agreement if the merger is not
completed by March 1, 2007 or such later date as the
parties may agree. See Description of
Transaction Waiver, Amendment and Termination.
The foregoing is an outline of the types of conditions
precedent to the obligations of UnionBancorp and Centrue
Financial contained in the merger agreement, a copy of which is
included at Appendix A. You should carefully review
the entire agreement and in particular Articles 9
and 10, containing the detailed conditions to each
partys obligation to close.
Termination and Termination Fees
Ability to Terminate the Merger Agreement. At any time
before the merger becomes effective, the boards of directors of
Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp may mutually agree to
terminate the merger agreement. In addition, the merger
agreement may be terminated as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
by UnionBancorp, if any of the conditions to its obligation to
complete the merger, as described above, has not been satisfied
or has become impossible, and UnionBancorp has not waived the
condition; |
|
|
|
by Centrue Financial, if any of the conditions to its obligation
to consummate the merger, as described above, has not been
satisfied or has become impossible, and Centrue Financial has
not waived the condition; |
|
|
|
by either UnionBancorp or Centrue Financial, if the closing of
the merger has not occurred, other than through the failure of
the party seeking to terminate the merger agreement to perform
any of its required obligations under the merger agreement, by
March 1, 2007 or such later date as the parties may agree,
except that, in general, the termination date can be extended
for up to ninety days if the sole reason that the closing has
not occurred is due to the fact that the regulatory approvals
have not been received; |
|
|
|
by Centrue Financial, but subject to the special termination fee
described below, if Centrue Financial receives an acquisition
proposal that is determined by the Centrue Financial board of
directors to be on terms that are more favorable to the
stockholders of Centrue Financial than the merger, and prior
written notice, together with a summary of the terms of, and the
identity of the person making, the proposal are provided to
UnionBancorp (a Superior Centrue Financial
Proposal); and |
|
|
|
by UnionBancorp, but subject to the special termination fee
described below, if UnionBancorp receives an acquisition
proposal that is determined by the UnionBancorp board of
directors to be on terms that are more favorable to the
stockholders of UnionBancorp than the merger, and prior written
notice, together with a summary of the terms of, and the
identity of the person making, the proposal are provided to
Centrue Financial (a Superior UnionBancorp Proposal). |
Effect of Termination. If the merger is terminated, the
merger agreement will become void and have no effect, except
that certain provisions of the merger agreement, including those
relating to the obligation to pay expenses and maintain the
confidentiality of certain information obtained in connection
with the merger and the merger agreement, will survive, and
except that either party may be required to make certain
payments upon termination as described below.
60
|
|
|
Centrue Financial Termination Payments. |
|
|
|
|
|
If the merger agreement is terminated by UnionBancorp because
Centrue Financial has not satisfied its conditions or the
closing has not occurred by March 1, 2007 and, in either
case, Centrue Financial knowingly breached its covenants,
agreements, representations or warranties under the merger
agreement (unless such breach is a result of the failure by
UnionBancorp to perform and comply with any of its obligations)
then, provided UnionBancorp is in compliance with its
obligations under the merger agreement, Centrue Financial must
pay $2,700,000 to UnionBancorp. (Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the termination date can be extended for up to ninety days if
the sole reason that the closing has not occurred is due to the
fact that the regulatory approvals have not been received.) |
|
|
|
If the merger agreement is terminated by Centrue Financial or
UnionBancorp because Centrue Financials stockholders fail
to approve the merger (a Centrue Financial Stockholder
Termination); then, provided UnionBancorp is in compliance
with its obligations under the merger agreement, Centrue
Financial must pay $500,000 to UnionBancorp. |
|
|
|
In addition to the $500,000 payment described above (if any), if
there is a Centrue Financial Stockholder Termination and, within
twelve months after such Centrue Financial Stockholder
Termination, Centrue Financial enters into an agreement with any
party other than UnionBancorp providing for the acquisition of
Centrue Financial, then, provided UnionBancorp was in compliance
with its obligations under the merger agreement, Centrue
Financial must pay $2,200,000 to UnionBancorp. |
|
|
|
If Centrue Financial terminates the merger agreement as a result
of a Superior Centrue Financial Proposal, then Centrue Financial
must pay $2,700,000 to UnionBancorp. |
|
|
|
UnionBancorp Termination Payments. |
|
|
|
|
|
If the merger agreement is terminated by Centrue Financial
because UnionBancorp has not satisfied its conditions or the
closing has not occurred by March 1, 2007 and, in either
case, UnionBancorp knowingly breached its covenants, agreements,
representations or warranties under the merger agreement (unless
such breach is a result of the failure by Centrue Financial to
perform and comply with any of its obligations) then, provided
Centrue Financial is in compliance with its obligations under
the merger agreement, UnionBancorp must pay $2,700,000 to
Centrue Financial. (Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
termination date can be extended for up to ninety days if the
sole reason that the closing has not occurred is due to the fact
that the regulatory approvals have not been received.) |
|
|
|
If the merger agreement is terminated by UnionBancorp or Centrue
Financial because UnionBancorps stockholders fail to
approve the merger (a UnionBancorp Stockholder
Termination); then, provided Centrue Financial is in
compliance with its obligations under the merger agreement,
UnionBancorp must pay $500,000 to Centrue Financial. |
|
|
|
In addition to the $500,000 payment described above (if any), if
there is a UnionBancorp Stockholder Termination and, within
twelve months after such UnionBancorp Stockholder Termination,
UnionBancorp enters into an agreement with any party other than
Centrue Financial providing for the acquisition of UnionBancorp,
then, provided Centrue Financial was in compliance with its
obligations under the merger agreement, UnionBancorp must pay
$2,200,000 to Centrue Financial. |
|
|
|
If UnionBancorp terminates the merger agreement as a result of a
Superior UnionBancorp Proposal, then UnionBancorp must pay
$2,700,000 to Centrue Financial. |
The foregoing is an outline of the termination provisions
contained in the merger agreement, a copy of which is included
at Appendix A. You should carefully review the
entire agreement and in particular Article 11, containing
the detailed termination provisions.
61
Waiver and Amendment
To the extent permitted by law, our boards of directors may
agree in writing to amend the merger agreement, whether before
or after our stockholders have approved the merger agreement.
However, no amendment agreed to after the merger agreement has
been approved by our stockholders may materially and adversely
affect the rights of UnionBancorps or Centrue
Financials stockholders. In addition, before or at the
time the merger becomes effective, either UnionBancorp or
Centrue Financial, or both, may waive any default in the
performance of any term of the merger agreement by the other or
may waive or extend the time for the compliance or fulfillment
by the other of any of its obligations under the merger
agreement. Either of UnionBancorp or Centrue Financial may also
waive any of the conditions precedent to their respective
obligations under the merger agreement, unless a violation of
any law or governmental regulation would result. To be
effective, a waiver must be in writing and signed by one of
UnionBancorps or Centrue Financials duly authorized
officers.
Regulatory Approvals
It is a condition to the completion of the merger that the
parties receive all necessary regulatory approvals of the
merger. Neither UnionBancorp nor Centrue Financial is aware of
any material governmental approvals or actions that are required
to complete the merger, except as described below. If any other
approval or action is required, UnionBancorp will also seek this
approval or action.
As a result of the merger, UnionBancorp will own directly all of
the outstanding stock of Centrue Bank. UnionBancorp intends to
merge Centrue Bank with and into UnionBank simultaneous with the
merger between UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial. The merger of
Centrue Financial into UnionBancorp is subject to the prior
approval or waiver of such approval by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve (the Federal Reserve) and the
merger of Centrue Bank with and into UnionBank is subject to the
prior approval of the Federal Reserve and the Illinois
Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (the
DFPR).
On July 28, 2006, UnionBank filed applications with the
Federal Reserve and the DFPR for prior approval of the merger of
Centrue Bank and UnionBank. It is expected that both the Federal
Reserve and the DFPR will approve the merger of Centrue Bank and
UnionBank in the 4th calendar quarter of 2006.
On ,
2006, UnionBancorp received a waiver of the requirement for
filing an application for approval of the merger under the
federal Bank Holding Company Act from the Federal Reserve.
The merger may not be completed until 30 days following the
date of the Federal Reserve approval, although the
U.S. Department of Justice may reduce that period to
15 days. During this period, the U.S. Department of
Justice is given the opportunity to challenge the transaction on
antitrust grounds. The commencement of any antitrust action
would stay the effectiveness of the approval of the agencies,
unless a court of competent jurisdiction specifically ordered
otherwise.
We are not aware of any other regulatory approvals required for
completion of the merger, and there can be no assurance that any
approvals will be obtained. The approval of any application
merely implies the satisfaction of regulatory criteria for
approval, which does not include review of the merger from the
standpoint of the adequacy of the consideration to be received
by Centrue Financial stockholders.
There can be no assurances that the requisite regulatory
approvals or waivers will be received in a timely manner, in
which event the consummation of the merger may be delayed. If
the merger is not consummated on or before May 30, 2007,
either UnionBancorp or Centrue Financial may terminate the
merger agreement. We can give you no assurance as to the receipt
or timing of these approvals or waivers.

Thomas A. Daiber |
|
President and Chief Executive Officer |
Scott A. Yeoman |
|
Chief Operating Officer |
Kurt R. Stevenson |
|
Chief Financial Officer |
Thomas A. Daiber, 48, was named President and
Chief Executive Officer of Centrue Financial and Chief Executive
Officer of Centrue Bank in October of 2003. Prior to joining
Centrue Financial, Mr. Daiber had served as Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Aviston Financial
Corporation and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the
State Bank of Aviston, headquartered in Aviston, Illinois, from
October, 2002 to October, 2003. Mr. Daiber served as
Allegiant Bancorp, Inc.s Chief Financial Officer from May,
1999 until March, 2003. Mr. Daiber was employed by
Allegiant Bancorp in St. Louis, Missouri beginning in
March, 1997 and served as its Director of Internal Auditing
prior to becoming Chief Financial Officer.
Scott A. Yeoman, 48, was named President and Chief
Executive Officer of UnionBancorp in June of 2005. Prior to
joining UnionBancorp, Mr. Yeoman served as the President
and Chief Executive Officer of Associated Bank Lakeshore, a
subsidiary of Associated Banc Corp, in Manitowoc, Wisconsin from
1998 through 2004. Mr. Yeoman joined the organization with
over 20 years of commercial banking experience.
Kurt R. Stevenson, 39, was promoted to Senior Executive
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer in the first quarter
of 2006. He had previously served as UnionBancorps Senior
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer since 2003. Prior to
that, Mr. Stevenson served as UnionBancorps Vice
President and Chief Financial Officer since June of 2000. Also
in 2000 and 2001, Mr. Stevenson served on the Board of
Directors of UnionFinancial Services, Inc., prior to its
integration with UnionTrust Corporation. Before stepping into
his new role, he had been acting as UnionBancorps Vice
President and Controller since 1996 and had served in various
operational capacities since joining the organization. In 2002,
Mr. Stevenson was also named Cashier of UnionBank, in

employment with the Ottawa National Bank in 1987 and,
subsequently, began work with UnionBancorp following the
acquisition of Ottawa National Bank by UnionBancorp in 1991.
See Where You Can Find More Information. For
additional information regarding the interests of certain
persons in the merger, see Description of
Transaction Interests of Certain Persons in the
Merger.
Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger
General. Some members of our respective management and
boards of directors may be deemed to have interests in the
merger that are in addition to their interests as stockholders
generally. The board of directors of each of UnionBancorp and
Centrue Financial were aware of these interests and considered
them, together with the other matters described in this joint
proxy statement-prospectus, in adopting the merger agreement and
approving the merger.
Stay Bonuses. The merger agreement allows UnionBancorp
and Centrue Financial to pay special stay bonuses to employees
of UnionBancorp or Centrue Financial who enter into a Stay Bonus
Agreement in a form that is mutually agreed upon by UnionBancorp
and Centrue Financial. UnionBancorp may also make new grants of
employee stock options to employees of UnionBancorp or Centrue
Financial, as mutually agreed upon. UnionBancorp and Centrue
Financial implemented this stay bonus program (a) to help
maintain their respective franchises in the event the proposed
merger is not completed, (b) to deliver value to the
combined company and (c) to minimize the likelihood that
valued employees would leave immediately prior to or shortly
after the closing of the merger.
Existing UnionBancorp Employment Agreements. UnionBancorp
has change of control agreements with a number of its senior
officers, including Scott A. Yeoman, who serves as President and
Chief Executive Officer of UnionBancorp and Kurt R. Stevenson,
who serves as Chief Financial Officer of UnionBancorp. The
64
agreements provide that if, within two years after a change of
control occurs, the executives employment is terminated
without good cause or the executive voluntarily
terminates employment with good reason, then the
executive shall receive a cash payment equal to two times the
executives salary. In Mr. Yeomans case, if, at
any time during the two year period, he obtains employment,
payments will be reduced by the amount of compensation being
earned in the new position. The pending merger of Centrue
Financial and UnionBancorp would constitute a change of control
for purposes of these agreements, which could entitle the
respective executive to the severance amount in the event his
employment later terminates. However, Mr. Yeoman and
Mr. Stevenson have each entered into an employment
agreement with UnionBancorp, which will become effective upon
the completion of the merger, and the agreement contains a
provision stating that the existing employment agreement with
UnionBancorp will terminate when the new agreement becomes
effective. These new employment agreements are described further
below.
Existing Centrue Financial Employment Agreements. Centrue
Financial has employment agreements with a number of its senior
officers, including Thomas A. Daiber, who serves as President
and Chief Executive Officer of Centrue Financial. The agreement
provides that Mr. Daiber will receive a severance payment
if his employment terminates under certain circumstances after a
change of control of Centrue Financial. The pending
merger of Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp would constitute a
change of control for purposes of his agreement, which could
result in his being entitled to the severance amount in the
event his employment later terminates. Mr. Daiber has
entered into an employment agreement with UnionBancorp, which
will become effective upon the completion of the merger. The
agreement contains a provision stating that the existing
employment agreement with Centrue Financial will terminate when
the new agreement becomes effective. This new employment
agreement is described further below.
New Employment Agreements with Thomas A. Daiber, Scott A.
Yeoman and Kurt R. Stevenson. UnionBancorp has entered into
employment agreements with Thomas A. Daiber, Scott A. Yeoman and
Kurt R. Stevenson. These agreements will become effective as of
the effective time of the merger. Except as described below,
each agreement is substantially identical. Initially the
agreements are effective for a three-year term. On the second
anniversary of the agreements effective date, the term
will be extended an additional day so that the term is always
one year, unless either party gives written notice of
non-renewal to the other party. The agreements provide for
annual base salary of not less than $290,000 for
Mr. Daiber, $220,000 for Mr. Yeoman and $170,000 for
Mr. Stevenson. The executives will have the opportunity to
receive annual performance bonuses of up to 50% of base salary
in the case of Mr. Daiber and Mr. Yeoman and up to 30%
of base salary in the case of Mr. Stevenson. The agreements
provide for the award of incentive stock options to each
executive on July 7, 2006. Mr. Daiber is being awarded
options to purchase 10,417 shares of Centrue Financial
stock, which will convert into the right to
purchase 12,500 shares of UnionBancorp stock after the
merger. Mr. Yeoman is being awarded options to
purchase 10,000 shares of UnionBancorp stock and
Mr. Stevenson is being awarded options to
purchase 7,500 shares of UnionBancorp stock. One-fifth
of the options will become exercisable on the first anniversary
of the employment agreements and an additional one-fifth will
become exercisable on each successive anniversary. The options
shall become fully exercisable upon a change of control, other
than the merger of Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp, the
executives death, disability, termination of
executives employment by the employer without cause, or
the executives termination of employment due to a
constructive discharge. Each executive will be entitled to not
less than twenty-three days of paid time off as well as benefits
at least as favorable to the benefits provided to all other
employees of UnionBancorp and UnionBank.
Each agreement provides that in the event of a termination of
the executives employment by UnionBancorp without cause or
by the executive due to constructive discharge prior to the end
of the term of the agreement, the executive will be entitled to
certain severance benefits including payments of the
executives annual compensation for the greater of
twenty-four months or the remaining period left in the
employment agreements term. Annual compensation is the
executives base salary plus the performance bonus for the
most recent performance period. The executive would also be
entitled to receive reimbursement for premiums the executive
pays for the continuation of medical benefits for the executive
and the executives dependents. During the twelve months
following a change of control of UnionBancorp other than the
merger of Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp, if the executive
voluntarily terminates his employment due to
65
constructive discharge or if UnionBancorp terminates the
executives employment for any reason other than cause, the
executive will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal
to three times the executives annual compensation, which
is the sum of the executives base salary and the
performance bonus for the most recent performance period, plus
reimbursement for premiums the executive pays for the
continuation of medical benefits for the executive and the
executives dependents.
The employment agreements include customary provisions
prohibiting the executive from competing with UnionBancorp and
other activities that would be harmful to UnionBancorp. Payments
under the employment agreements will be reduced to the extent
necessary to prevent any portion of the payments from being
treated as a nondeductible excess parachute payment under the
federal tax laws.
New Employment Agreements with Senior Officers.
UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial are entering into additional
employment agreements with up to twelve additional senior
officers of Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp. These agreements
will become effective as of the effective time of the merger.
Except as described below, each agreement is substantially
identical. Initially the agreements are effective for a one-year
term. On the first anniversary of the date the agreements become
effective, the term will be extended an additional year, unless
either party gives written notice of non-renewal to the other
party. The agreements specify a minimum annual base salary for
each senior officer ranging from $100,000 to $135,000. Each
senior officer will have the opportunity to receive annual
performance bonuses of up to 25% of base salary. The agreements
provide for the award of incentive stock options to each senior
officer on July 7, 2006. Taking into account the adjustment
to the number of shares subject to stock options that will occur
as a result of the merger of Centrue Financial with
UnionBancorp, a total 73,000 shares will be subject to
options awarded to these senior officers. One-fifth of the
options will become exercisable on the first anniversary of the
effective date of the merger and an additional one-fifth will
become exercisable on each successive anniversary. The options
shall become fully exercisable upon a change of control of
UnionBancorp other than the merger of Centrue Financial with
UnionBancorp, the senior officers death, disability,
termination of senior officers employment by the employer
without cause, or, during the first twelve months the agreements
are effective, the senior officers termination of
employment due to a constructive discharge. Each senior officer
will be entitled to not less than twenty-three days of paid time
off as well as benefits at least as favorable to the benefits
provided to all other employees of UnionBancorp and UnionBank.
Each agreement provides that in the event of a termination of
the senior officers employment by UnionBancorp without
cause during such period, during the first twelve months of the
agreement, or by the senior officer due to constructive
discharge during such period, the senior officer will be
entitled to certain severance benefits including payments of the
senior officers annual compensation for twelve months.
Annual compensation is the senior officers base salary and
the performance bonus for the most recent performance period.
The senior officer would also be entitled to receive
reimbursement for premiums the senior officer pays for the
continuation of medical benefits for the senior officer and the
senior officers dependents. During the twelve months
following a change of control of UnionBancorp, not including the
merger of Centrue Financial and UnionBancorp, if the senior
officer voluntarily terminates his employment due to
constructive discharge or if UnionBancorp terminates the senior
officers employment for any reason other than cause, the
senior officer will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment
equal to the senior officers annual compensation, which is
the sum of the senior officers base salary and the
performance bonus for the most recent performance period, plus
reimbursement for premiums the senior officer pays for the
continuation of medical benefits for the senior officer and the
senior officers dependents.
The employment agreements include customary provisions
prohibiting the senior officer from competing with UnionBancorp
and other activities that would be harmful to UnionBancorp.
Payments under the employment agreements will be reduced to the
extent necessary to prevent any portion of the payments from
being treated as a nondeductible excess parachute payment under
the federal tax laws.
Treatment of Centrue Financial Stock Options. The Centrue
Financial stock option plan and the stock option agreements with
plan participants provide that all options that were not
previously exercisable will become immediately exercisable upon
a change of control. The merger of Centrue Financial and
UnionBancorp will constitute a change of control under the
Centrue Financial stock option plan. Accordingly,
66
the options to
purchase shares
of Centrue Financial common stock which are currently not
exercisable will become exercisable no later than the effective
date of the merger. The options awarded to executives and senior
officers pursuant to the employment agreements described above
will not become exercisable as a result of the merger. Centrue
Financial stock options will be converted into UnionBancorp
stock options in the merger, with the number of shares and
exercise price adjusted for the exchange ratio.
Treatment of UnionBancorp Stock Options. The merger
agreement provides that options to purchase UnionBancorp common
stock will become immediately exercisable upon the merger
becoming effective. Accordingly, the options to
purchase shares
of UnionBancorp common stock which are currently not exercisable
will become exercisable no later than the effective date of the
merger. The options awarded to executives and senior officers
pursuant to the employment agreements described above will not
become exercisable as a result of the merger.
Directors Deferred Compensation Plan. Each of
Centrue Financials independent directors participates in
the Centrue Financial Non-Employee Directors Deferred
Compensation Plan pursuant to which such directors have been
allocated shares of Centrue Financial common stock in connection
with their services. At the effective time of the merger, each
director participant will become vested in all shares allocated
to him under the plan, and these shares will be converted into
shares of UnionBancorp common stock at the 1.2 exchange ratio.
As of the date of this document, 15,990 shares of Centrue
Financial common stock have been allocated under the plan, and
it is expected that an aggregate of 2,375 additional shares will
be allocated per fiscal quarter to the director participants.
Indemnification for Directors and Officers; Insurance.
UnionBancorp has agreed to honor for at least six years from the
effective date of the merger all of Centrue Financials
obligations with respect to indemnification currently provided
by Centrue Financial in its certificate of incorporation or
bylaws in favor of the current and former officers and directors
with respect to matters occurring prior to the effective time.
In addition, UnionBancorp has agreed to acquire and maintain for
a period of six years extended coverage of acts or omissions
occurring at or prior to the effective time with respect to
those persons who are currently covered by Centrue
Financials director and officer liability policies of
insurance on terms that are substantially similar to those
contained in the director and officer liability policies in
effect on the date of the merger agreement.
Consulting Agreement. Effective July 25, 2006,
Centrue Bank entered into a consulting agreement with UnionBank,
whereby UnionBank has agreed to consult and advise Centrue Bank
with respect to the preparation and maintenance of certain of
Centrue Banks accounting, tax and financial reports,
including Centrue Banks general ledger system. UnionBank
receives an hourly fee of $75.00 plus out of pocket expenses in
connection with the engagement and has been indemnified by
Centrue Bank against any liabilities incurred by UnionBank as a
result of the engagement.
Additional Agreements
UnionBancorp Voting Agreement. Each of the directors of
Centrue Financial has entered into a voting agreement with
UnionBancorp. Under this agreement, these stockholders have
agreed to vote their respective shares of Centrue Financial
common stock:

Furthermore, each of these stockholders has also agreed not to

merger or other business combination involving Centrue
Financial. The shares subject to the voting agreement represent

67
common stock on the record date. The voting agreement will
terminate upon the earlier of the consummation of the merger or
termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms.
Centrue Financial Voting Agreement. Each of the directors

Financial. Under this agreement, these stockholders have agreed

|
|
against any action or agreement that would result in a material
breach of any term or any other obligation of UnionBancorp under
the merger agreement; and |
|
|
|
against any action or agreement which would impede or interfere
with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. |
Furthermore, each of these stockholders has also agreed not to
solicit, initiate or encourage any inquiries or proposals for a
merger or other business combination involving UnionBancorp. The
shares subject to the voting agreement represent approximately
[ ]%
of the outstanding shares of UnionBancorp common stock on the
record date. The voting agreement will terminate upon the
earlier of the consummation of the merger or termination of the
merger agreement in accordance with its terms.
Accounting Treatment
The merger will be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting under U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. Under this method of accounting, UnionBancorp will
record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Centrue
Financial at their fair market values. Any difference between
the purchase price and the fair market value of the net tangible
and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities is recorded
as goodwill, which, in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 142, will not be amortized for
financial accounting purposes, but will be evaluated annually
for impairment.
Expenses
Each of UnionBancorp and Centrue Financial will pay its own
expenses in connection with the merger, including filing,
registration and application fees, printing fees and fees and
expenses of its own financial or other consultants, accountants
and counsel. UnionBancorp is responsible for the payment of the
expenses for the tax opinion to be rendered in connection with
the merger.
Resales of UnionBancorp Common Stock
UnionBancorp common stock to be issued to Centrue Financial
stockholders in the merger will be registered under the
Securities Act. All shares of UnionBancorp common stock received
by Centrue Financial stockholders in the merger will be freely
transferable after the merger by persons who are not considered
to be affiliates of either UnionBancorp or Centrue
Financial. These affiliates would generally include
any persons or entities who control, are controlled by or are
under common control with either Centrue Financial or
UnionBancorp at the time of the special meeting (generally,
executive officers, directors and 10% or greater stockholders).
Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act restricts the
sale of UnionBancorp common stock received in the merger by
affiliates of Centrue Financial and certain of their family
members and related entities. Under the rule, until the first
anniversary of the effective date of the merger, affiliates of
Centrue Financial may publicly resell the UnionBancorp common
stock they receive in the merger, but only within certain
limitations as to the amount of UnionBancorp common stock they
can sell in any three-month period and as to the manner of sale.
After this first anniversary, affiliates of Centrue Financial
who are not affiliates of UnionBancorp may resell their shares
without restriction. UnionBancorp must continue to satisfy its
reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, for affiliates to continue to be able to
resell under Rule 145 the shares of UnionBancorp common
stock they received in the merger.
68
Affiliates would also be permitted to resell UnionBancorp common
stock received in the merger pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act or an available
exemption from the registration requirements. This joint proxy
statement-prospectus does not cover any resales of UnionBancorp
common stock received by persons who may be deemed to be
affiliates of Centrue Financial.
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS
General
UnionBancorp is a Delaware corporation governed by Delaware law
and UnionBancorps certificate of incorporation and bylaws.
Centrue Financial is a Delaware corporation governed by Delaware
law and Centrue Financials certificate of incorporation
and bylaws.
In the merger, stockholders of Centrue Financial will receive
shares of UnionBancorp common stock that will include all rights
attaching to shares of UnionBancorp common stock. By approving
the merger, UnionBancorp stockholders are also approving the
adoption of an amended and restated certificate of incorporation
attached as Exhibit A to the merger agreement, the
provisions of which are discussed below.
There are significant differences between the rights of
UnionBancorps stockholders and the rights of Centrue
Financials stockholders. The following is a summary of the
principal differences between those rights.
The following summary is not intended to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Delaware General
Corporation Law, as well as UnionBancorps certificate of
incorporation and bylaws and Centrue Financials
certificate of incorporation and bylaws.
Anti-Takeover Provisions Generally
UnionBancorps certificate of incorporation and bylaws
contain provisions designed to assist UnionBancorps board
of directors in playing a role in any attempt by a group or
person to acquire control of UnionBancorp. These provisions are
intended to enable UnionBancorps board of directors to
protect the interests of UnionBancorp and its stockholders under
certain circumstances. Aided by these provisions, UnionBancorp
may determine that a sale of control is in the best interests of
UnionBancorps stockholders or will enhance the
boards ability to maximize the value to be received by the
stockholders upon a sale of control of UnionBancorp.
Although UnionBancorps management believes that these
provisions are beneficial to UnionBancorps stockholders,
they may also tend to discourage some takeover bids. As a
result, UnionBancorps stockholders may be deprived of
opportunities to sell some or all of their shares at prices that
represent a premium over prevailing market prices. On the other
hand, defeating undesirable acquisition offers can be a very
expensive and time-consuming process. To the extent that these
provisions discourage undesirable proposals, UnionBancorp may be
able to avoid those expenditures of time and money.
These provisions may also discourage open market purchases of
UnionBancorp common stock by a company that may desire to
acquire UnionBancorp. Those purchases may increase the market
price of UnionBancorp common stock temporarily and enable
stockholders to sell their shares at a price higher than they
might otherwise obtain. In addition, these provisions may
decrease the market price of UnionBancorp common stock by making
the stock less attractive to persons who invest in securities in
anticipation of price increases from potential acquisition
attempts. The provisions may also make it more difficult and
time consuming for a potential acquirer to obtain control of
UnionBancorp through replacing the board of directors and
management. Furthermore, the provisions may make it more
difficult for UnionBancorps stockholders to replace the
board of directors or management, even if a majority of the
stockholders believe that replacing the board of directors or
management is in the best interests of UnionBancorp. Because of
these factors, these provisions may tend to perpetuate the
incumbent board of directors and management.
69
Authorized Capital Stock
UnionBancorp. Under UnionBancorps current
certificate of incorporation, it is authorized to issue
10,000,000 shares of common stock, $1.00 par value per
share, and 200,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value
per share. As of
[ ],
2006,
[ ] shares
of UnionBancorp common stock were issued, including
[ ] shares
that are held by UnionBancorp as treasury shares.
2,762.24 shares of UnionBancorp Series A convertible
preferred stock and 831 shares of Series B preferred
stock are issued and outstanding. If the merger is approved, as
part of the merger, UnionBancorps certificate of
incorporation will be amended and restated as more fully
described below to, among other things and to increase the
number of authorized shares of common stock from 10,000,000 up
to 15,000,000. The increase in the number of authorized common
shares will give the board of the combined company greater
flexibility to declare common stock splits or stock dividends
when considered desirable and still leave sufficient shares
available for issuance in connection with future acquisitions,
financings, and for other general corporate purposes.
The ability of the board to issue additional shares of common
stock without additional stockholder approval may be deemed to
have an anti-takeover effect. The combined company could use the
additional shares of common stock to oppose a hostile takeover
attempt or to delay or prevent changes of control or changes in
or removal of its management. Any issuance of additional shares
also could have the effect of diluting the earnings per share
and book value per share of the outstanding shares of the
combined companys common stock as well as stock ownership
and voting rights of stockholders.
Under UnionBancorps certificate of incorporation,
UnionBancorps board of directors is authorized to issue
preferred stock from time to time in one or more series, subject
to applicable provisions of law. The board of directors is
authorized to fix the designations, voting powers, preferences
and relative participating, optional and other special rights
qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such shares. In
the event of a proposed merger, tender offer or other attempt to
gain control of UnionBancorp that the board of directors does
not approve, it may be possible for the board of directors to
authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock with
rights and preferences that would impede the completion of such
a transaction. Under the current certificate of incorporation,
UnionBancorps board of directors designated
2,765 shares of UnionBancorp preferred stock as
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (2,762.24 shares
outstanding), 1,092 shares as Series B Preferred Stock
(831 of which are outstanding), and 4,500 shares as
Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock (none of
which are outstanding). The 2,762.24 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that are outstanding,
are currently convertible into 172,140 shares of
UnionBancorp common stock.
Centrue Financial. Centrue Financial is authorized to
issue 5,500,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par
value per share, and 500,000 shares of preferred stock,
$0.01 par value per share. As of
[ ],
2006, shares
of Centrue Financial common stock were issued and outstanding,
and shares
were held by Centrue Financial as treasury shares. No shares of
Centrue Financial preferred stock are issued and outstanding.
Centrue Financials board of directors has substantially
the same powers with respect to the issuance of preferred stock
as does UnionBancorps board of directors. Under a
certificate of designation, 3,500 shares of Centrue
Financial preferred stock have been designated as Series A
Junior Participating preferred stock. These shares are reserved
for issuance under the Centrue Financial rights plan. See
Rights Plan below.
Voting Rights
UnionBancorp. Generally, holders of UnionBancorp common
stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters
submitted to a vote of stockholders.
As stated above, UnionBancorps board of directors is
authorized to issue up to 200,000 shares of preferred stock
and may designate various characteristics and rights of
UnionBancorp preferred stock including, among other things, the
voting powers of such series. UnionBancorps board of
directors may also authorize the conversion of shares of other
classes of UnionBancorp preferred stock into any number of
shares of UnionBancorp common stock and thus dilute the voting
power of the outstanding shares of UnionBancorp
70
common stock. Therefore, subject to the boards fiduciary
duties, UnionBancorp could issue convertible preferred stock
with the purpose or effect of deterring or preventing a takeover
of UnionBancorp.
The holders of each share of Series A Preferred Stock are
not entitled to vote, except as required by law or to approve
the authorization or issuance of any shares of any class or
series of stock ranking senior to or on parity with such
Series A Preferred Stock in respect of dividends and
distributions upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
UnionBancorp. Where the Series A Preferred Stockholders
vote to approve such issuance or authorization of new shares,
the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote as a
class. In addition, holders of Series A Preferred Stock
have full voting rights (a) if two dividend payments on
such shares have accrued but remain unpaid; (b) upon
conversion of the preferred shares into shares of common stock;
or (c) if the holders of common stock vote on a proposal to
merge or otherwise enter a transaction with a third party where
UnionBancorp is not the surviving entity.
The holder of each share of Series B Preferred Stock are
not entitled to vote except as required by law. Holders of
shares of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, as
a class, to approve the authorization or issuance of any shares
of any class or series of stock ranking senior to, or on parity
with the Series B Preferred Stock in respect of dividends
and distribution upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up
of UnionBancorp.
UnionBancorps certificate of incorporation does not
provide for cumulative voting rights in the election of
directors. Thus, the owners of a majority of the shares of
common stock outstanding may elect all of the directors up for
election in any given year, if they choose to do so, and the
owners of the balance of such shares would not be able to elect
any directors.
Centrue Financial. Generally, holders of Centrue
Financial common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. However, Centrue
Financials certificate of incorporation provides that in
no event will any record owner of any outstanding Centrue
Financial common stock that is beneficially owned, directly or
indirectly, by any person who beneficially owns more than 10% of
the then-outstanding shares of common stock, be entitled or
permitted to any vote in respect of the shares held in excess of
10%. This limit does not inhibit any person from soliciting or
voting proxies from other beneficial owners for more than 10% of
the common stock. This provision may be enforced by Centrue
Financials board of directors to limit the voting rights
of persons owning more than 10% of Centrue Financials
common stock, and thus could be used in a proxy contest or other
solicitation to defeat a proposal that is desired by a majority
of the stockholders.
As stated above, Centrue Financials board of directors is
authorized to issue up to 500,000 shares of preferred stock
and may designate various characteristics and rights of Centrue
Financial preferred stock, including voting and conversion
rights. Centrue Financials board of directors may also
authorize the conversion of shares of other classes of Centrue
Financial preferred stock into any number of shares of Centrue
Financial common stock and thus dilute the voting power of the
outstanding shares of Centrue Financial common stock. Therefore,
subject to the boards fiduciary duties, Centrue Financial
could issue convertible preferred stock with the purpose or
effect of deterring or preventing a takeover of Centrue
Financial.
Centrue Financials certificate of incorporation also does
not provide for cumulative voting rights in the election of
directors.
Classification of Board of Directors
UnionBancorp. UnionBancorps certificate of
incorporation provides for the division of its board of
directors into three classes of approximately equal size.
UnionBancorps directors are elected for three-year terms,
and the terms of office of approximately one-third of the
members of the classified board of directors expire each year.
This board classification may make it more difficult for a
stockholder to acquire immediate control of UnionBancorp and
remove management by means of a proxy contest. Because the terms
of approximately one-third of the incumbent directors expire
each year, at least two annual elections would be
71
necessary for stockholders to replace a majority of
UnionBancorps directors, while a majority of directors of
a non-classified board could be replaced in one annual meeting.
Centrue Financial. Centrue Financials certificate
of incorporation also provides for a classified board, with the
same effects.
Size of the Board of Directors; Vacancies; Removal
UnionBancorp. UnionBancorps certificate of
incorporation provide that the size of the board of directors
shall consist of fifteen directors but may be increased or
decreased by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 70%
of all shares of UnionBancorp then entitled to vote in the
election of directors, or by a two-thirds vote of the directors
then in office. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws also
provide that any vacancy occurring on the board of directors may
be filled for the remainder of the unexpired term by a majority
vote of the directors then in office even though less than a
quorum of the board of directors.
As noted above, under the Delaware General Corporation Law, if a
board is classified, a director may be removed only for cause
unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise.
UnionBancorps certificate of incorporation and bylaws
provide that a director may be removed only for cause and only
by the affirmative vote of at least 70% of the outstanding
shares of capital stock of UnionBancorp entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors, subject to the right of
any holders of preferred stock to elect directors.
UnionBancorps certificate of incorporation does not
contain a definition of cause. The purpose of this
provision is to prevent a majority stockholder from
circumventing the classified board system by removing directors
and filling the vacancies with new individuals selected by that
stockholder. This provision may have the effect of impeding
efforts to gain control of the board of directors by anyone who
obtains a controlling interest in UnionBancorps common
stock.
Centrue Financial. Centrue Financials certificate
of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may impede
changes in majority control of the board of directors. Centrue
Financials bylaws provide that the size of the board of
directors may be increased or decreased only by a majority vote
of the whole board or by a vote of holders of at least 80% of
the shares eligible to be voted at a duly constituted meeting of
stockholders called for such purpose. The bylaws also provide
that any vacancy occurring in the number of directors may be
filled for the remainder of the unexpired term by a majority
vote of the directors then in office.
As discussed above, under the Delaware General Corporation Law,
members of a classified board of directors may only be removed
for cause, unless the certificate of incorporation provides
otherwise. Centrue Financials certificate of incorporation
provides that a director may only be removed for cause, and then
only by the affirmative vote of holders of at least 80% of the
shares eligible to vote. Centrue Financials certificate of
incorporation does not include a definition of
cause. This provision has the same effect as the
comparable provision in UnionBancorps certificate of
incorporation.
Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
UnionBancorp. Under UnionBancorps bylaws, the only
business that may be conducted at an annual meeting of
stockholders is the business brought before the meeting by the
board of directors or by any stockholder who is entitled to vote
and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in
UnionBancorps bylaws. For business to be brought before an
annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given
timely notice in writing to the secretary of UnionBancorp. To be
timely, a stockholders notice must be given to the
secretary of UnionBancorp not less than 30 days prior to
the anniversary date of the previous years meeting.
UnionBancorps bylaws provide that nominations for election
to UnionBancorps board of directors may be made only by a
majority of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of
the Board, or if there is no such committee at the time, by a
majority of the board, or by any stockholder entitled to vote
for the election of directors who complies with the notice
procedures set forth in the bylaws. The stockholders
notice must set forth, as to each person the stockholder
proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director,
such persons name, address, qualifications, beneficial
ownership of UnionBancorp stock, any other
72
information relating to such person required to be disclosed on
Schedule 13D pursuant to Regulation 13D-G under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act), in connection with the acquisition of stock, and
pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, in
connection with the solicitation of proxies with respect to
nominees for election of directors and, as to the stockholder
giving the notice, and any other beneficial stockholders known
by such stockholder to support such nominees his or her name and
address, and the class and number of shares of
UnionBancorps capital stock owned by such stockholder.
Centrue Financial. Under Centrue Financials bylaws,
the only business that may be conducted at an annual meeting of
stockholders is the business brought before the meeting by the
board of directors or by any stockholder who is entitled to vote
and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in Centrue
Financials bylaws. For business to be brought before an
annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given
timely notice in writing to the secretary of Centrue Financial.
To be timely, a stockholders notice must be delivered or
mailed and received at the principal executive offices of
Centrue Financial not less than 30 days prior to the date
of the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less
than 40 days notice or prior public disclosure of the
meeting date is given or made to stockholders, such notice by
the stockholder to be timely must be delivered no later than
10 days after the earlier of the date of the notice of the
meeting or public disclosure of the date of the meeting.
A stockholders notice to the secretary must set forth as
to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the
annual meeting:
|
|
|
|
|
a brief description of the matter the stockholder desires to
present; |
|
|
|
the name and record address of the stockholder who proposed the
matter; |
|
|
|
the class and number of shares of Centrue Financials
capital stock that are beneficially owned by the stockholder; and |
|
|
|
any material interest of the stockholder in the matter. |
Centrue Financials bylaws provide that nominations for
election to Centrue Financials board of directors may be
made only by the board of directors or by any stockholder
entitled to vote for the election of directors who complies with
the notice procedures set forth in the bylaws and described
above. The stockholders notice must set forth, as to each
person the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or
re-election as a director, such persons name and
qualifications and, as to the stockholder giving the notice, his
or her name and address, and the class and number of shares of
Centrue Financials capital stock owned by the nominated
stockholder.
Special Meetings of Stockholders
UnionBancorp. UnionBancorps bylaws provide that
special meetings may be called at any time by at least
662/3%
of the board of directors then in office. Stockholders are not
authorized to call special meetings.
Centrue Financial. Centrue Financials certificate
of incorporation and bylaws provide that a special meeting of
stockholders may be called only by a resolution of the board of
directors adopted by a majority of the total number of directors
Centrue Financial would have if there were no vacancies.
Stockholders are not authorized to call special meetings.
Action by Written Consent
UnionBancorp. UnionBancorps certificate of
incorporation prohibits its stockholders from taking action by
written consent. This prohibition could be used to delay the
taking of any action requiring stockholder approval which is not
approved by the board of directors, whether or not a majority of
the stockholders believes such action may be desirable.
Centrue Financial. Centrue Financials certificate
of incorporation also prohibits its stockholders from taking
action by written consent.
73
Dividends
UnionBancorp. UnionBancorps ability to pay
dividends on its common stock is governed by Delaware corporate
law. Under Delaware corporate law, unless there are restrictions
in the corporations certificate of incorporation,
dividends may be declared from the corporations surplus,
or if there is no surplus, from its net profits for the fiscal
year in which the dividend is declared and the preceding years.
Dividends may not be declared, however, if the
corporations capital is less than the amount of all
capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all
classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets. In
addition, UnionBancorps ability to pay dividends on its
common stock is subject to the rights of holders of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to annual cumulative
dividends of $75.00 per share and to the rights of holders
of Series B Preferred Stock to annual cumulative dividends
of $60.00 per share.
Centrue Financial. Generally, Centrue Financials
ability to pay dividends is also governed by Delaware corporate
law. Centrue Financial stockholders are entitled to dividends as
and when declared by the board of directors. In April of 2004,
Centrue Financials board of directors voted to eliminate
its quarterly dividend. The reinstatement and declaration of
dividends by the Centrue Financial board of directors is
discretionary, and depends on Centrue Financials earnings
and financial condition, regulatory limitations, tax
considerations and other factors, including limitations imposed
by the terms of Centrue Financials outstanding junior
subordinated debentures.
Centrue Financial issued approximately $10.3 million of
these debentures in April of 2002 to Kankakee Capital
Trust I, which contemporaneously issued $10.0 million
of preferred securities to MM Community Funding III, Ltd.
in a private placement. In April of 2004, Centrue Financial
issued approximately $10.3 million of additional debentures
to Centrue Statutory Trust II, which contemporaneously
issued $10.0 million of preferred securities to First
Tennessee Bank National Association in a private placement. All
of the common stock of Kankakee Capital Trust I and Centrue
Statutory Trust II is owned by Centrue Financial and the
debentures are the only assets of the trusts. When the
debentures mature, the preferred securities must be redeemed.
The debentures issued to Kankakee Capital Trust I mature on
April 7, 2032, and the debenture issued to Centrue
Statutory Trust II mature on April 22, 2034. The
debentures and preferred securities pay interest and dividends,
respectively, quarterly. Under the terms of the debentures,
Centrue Financial may be prohibited, under certain
circumstances, from paying dividends on shares of its common
stock. None of these circumstances currently exist.
Evaluation of Proposals
UnionBancorp. UnionBancorps certificate of
incorporation and bylaws do not include any provisions regarding
the board of directors evaluation of tender or exchange
offers, business combinations or sales of the assets of
UnionBancorp.
Centrue Financial. Centrue Financials certificate
of incorporation provides that the board, when evaluating any
offer by another person to: (a) make a tender or exchange
offer for any equity security; (b) merge or consolidate
Centrue Financial with another corporation or entity; or
(c) purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all
of the properties and assets of Centrue Financial, may, in
connection with the exercise of its judgment in determining what
is in the best interests of Centrue Financial and its
stockholders, give consideration to all relevant factors,
including the social and economic effect of acceptance of the
offer on Centrue Financials present and future employees
and those of its subsidiaries, on the communities in which
Centrue Financial and its subsidiaries operate or are located,
on the ability of Centrue Financial to fulfill its corporate
objectives and on the ability of its subsidiary financial
institution to fulfill its objectives under applicable rules and
regulations.
Special Voting Requirements; Business Combinations
UnionBancorp. UnionBancorps certificate of
incorporation requires that any merger or consolidation of
UnionBancorp into another company, sale of all or substantially
all of UnionBancorps assets, or dissolution of
UnionBancorp must be approved by the holders of at least 70% of
the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless such merger,
sale or dissolution is approved by a majority vote of
outstanding shares and the action has
74
been approved by two-thirds of all directors, or unless the
provision is applicable to a merger or consolidation of
UnionBancorp with another corporation of which UnionBancorp is
the owner of at least 80% of the outstanding shares of each
class of stock.
In addition, UnionBancorps certificate of incorporation
expressly adopted Section 203(d) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law which prohibits UnionBancorp from engaging in a
business combination, as defined by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, with an interested stockholder, defined as a
person who owns, directly or indirectly, 15% or more of
UnionBancorp voting stock, for a three year period from the date
the person became an interested stockholder, referred to as the
acquisition date, unless:
|
|
|
|
|
prior to the acquisition date the UnionBancorp board approved
the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the
stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; |
|
|
|
upon completion of the transaction in which the stockholder
became an interested stockholder, the stockholder owns at least
85% of UnionBancorps voting stock, excluding stock held by
officers and directors and employee stock plans in which the
participants do not have the right to determine confidentially
whether shares held by the plan will be tendered in an exchange
offer or a tender offer; or |
|
|
|
on or after the acquisition date, the business combination is
approved by the UnionBancorp board and by the UnionBancorp
stockholders, at a meeting duly called for that purpose,
provided that stockholders owning at least two-thirds of
UnionBancorps voting stock approve the business
combination. When determining whether this two-thirds vote
requirement has been satisfied, voting stock held by the
interested stockholder is not included. |
Upon approval of the merger, UnionBancorps amended and
restated certificate of incorporation will no longer include a
provision expressly adopting Section 203(d) of the Delaware
General Corporation Law, however, such statute will nevertheless
apply as provided therein.
Centrue Financial. Centrue Financial is also subject to
Section 203(d) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Centrue Financials certificate of incorporation requires
that certain business combinations between Centrue Financial (or
any majority-owned subsidiary) and a 10% or more stockholder
either:
|
|
|
|
|
be approved by holders of at least 80% of the total number of
outstanding voting shares, voting as a single class, of Centrue; |
|
|
|
be approved by at least two-thirds of the continuing board of
directors, meaning persons serving prior to the 10% stockholder
becoming a 10% stockholder, and be approved by holders of a
majority of the total number of outstanding voting
shares; or |
|
|
|
meet certain price conditions, and be approved by holders of a
majority of the total number of outstanding voting shares. |
Amendment of Governing Documents
UnionBancorp. Generally, UnionBancorp may amend it
certificate of incorporation in the manner permitted by Delaware
law. The Delaware General Corporation law provides that
amendments to a corporations certificate must be approved
by holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of
a corporations voting stock. However, amending certain
provisions of UnionBancorps certificate of incorporation,
relating to the powers and composition of the board of directors
and the stockholder vote required to amend the certificate of
incorporation or approve certain business combinations requires
the affirmative vote of 70% of the outstanding shares, unless
the amendment of such provision is approved by a majority vote
of outstanding shares and the action has been approved by
two-thirds of all directors, or unless the provision is
applicable to a merger or consolidation of UnionBancorp with
another corporation of which UnionBancorp is the owner at least
80% of the outstanding shares of each class of stock.
UnionBancorps bylaws provide that they may be amended only
in the manner provided for in the certificate of incorporation.
Upon approval of the merger, UnionBancorps amended and
restated certificate of
75
incorporation will authorize the amendment of
UnionBancorps bylaws by a majority of the board of
directors. UnionBancorps bylaws provide that the bylaws
may be amended in either of the following ways:
|
|
|
|
|
by holders of
662/3%
of the outstanding shares of stock of UnionBancorp; or |
|
|
|
by a vote of a majority of the board of directors. |
Centrue Financial. Centrue Financials certificate
of incorporation may be amended in the manner prescribed by the
Delaware General Corporation Law unless a proposed amendment is
approved by a resolution of less than two-thirds of the number
of directors, in which case the amendment must be approved by
holders of at least 80% of the then-outstanding shares.
Centrue Financials bylaws may be amended by a majority
vote of the board of directors or the affirmative vote of
holders of at least 80% of the then-outstanding shares.
Limitations on Director Liability
UnionBancorp. The certificate of incorporation of
UnionBancorp provides that no director will be liable to
UnionBancorp or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director, except:
|
|
|
|
|
for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to
UnionBancorp or its stockholders; |
|
|
|
for acts or omissions not in good faith that involve intentional
misconduct or knowing violation of the law; |
|
|
|
under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
which relates to unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock
purchase or redemption and expressly sets forth a negligence
standard with respect to such liability; and |
|
|
|
for any transaction from which the director derived any improper
benefit. |
Centrue Financial. Centrue Financials certificate
of incorporation provides that a director will not be personally
liable to Centrue Financial or its stockholders for any breach
of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:
|
|
|
|
|
for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty; |
|
|
|
for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
|
|
|
under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
which relates to unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock
purchase or redemption and expressly sets forth a negligence
standard with respect to such liability; and |
|
|
|
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. |
If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to further
limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors, then the
liability of directors of Centrue Financial will be limited or
eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law as so amended.
Indemnification
UnionBancorp. UnionBancorps bylaws provide
indemnification generally consistent with Delaware Law. Under
Delaware law, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person
who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason
of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or
76
she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful.
UnionBancorps certificate of incorporation provides that
UnionBancorp must indemnify all persons who it may indemnify
pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law to the fullest extent permitted thereby.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or
persons controlling UnionBancorp under the provisions described
above, UnionBancorp has been informed that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is
therefore unenforceable.
Centrue Financial. The certificate of incorporation of
Centrue Financial provides that Centrue Financial must
indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law, but subject to the limits of federal
law applicable to bank holding companies, any person made or
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director or officer of Centrue Financial or is or
was serving at Centrue Financials request as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other
enterprise, against liabilities and expenses reasonably incurred
or paid by such person in connection with any such action, suit
or proceeding.
Centrue Financial may maintain insurance, at its expense, to
protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of
Centrue Financial or another corporation or enterprise against
any expense or loss, whether or not Centrue Financial would have
the power to indemnify such person under the Delaware General
Corporation Law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or
persons controlling Centrue Financial under the provisions
described above, Centrue Financial has been informed that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
Dissenters Rights
UnionBancorp and Centrue. Under Section 262 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders of a Delaware
corporation generally are entitled to dissent from a merger or
consolidation and receive payment in cash of the fair value of
their stock, as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.
However, dissenters rights are not granted under Delaware
law with respect to any transaction involving the sale, lease or
exchange of substantially all of the assets of a corporation. In
addition, dissenters rights are not available in certain
circumstances with respect to shares of stock that are listed on
a national securities exchange, such as the shares of
UnionBancorp or Centrue Financial common stock. Neither
UnionBancorps nor Centrue Financials certificate of
incorporation and bylaws provide for any additional
dissenters rights.
See Special Meeting Dissenters
Rights for additional information.
Rights Plan
UnionBancorp. UnionBancorps Rights Agreement
expired on August 4, 2006.
Centrue Financial. The board of directors of Centrue
Financial adopted a Rights Plan in 1999 which created one
preferred share purchase right that is attached to each share of
Centrue Financial common stock. Each right entitles the holder,
under certain limited circumstances, to purchase from Centrue
Financial one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior
Participating preferred stock of Centrue Financial at a price of
$95.00.
Until the earlier to occur of: (a) 10 days following a
public announcement that a person or group of affiliated persons
(with certain exceptions, an acquiring person) has
acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding
shares of common stock; or (b) 10 business days (or such
later date as may be determined by action of the board of
directors prior to such time as any person or group of
affiliated persons
77
becomes an acquiring person) following the commencement of, or
announcement of an intention to make, a tender offer or exchange
offer the completion of which would result in the beneficial
ownership by a person or group of 15% or more of the outstanding
shares of common stock (the earlier of such dates being called
the distribution date), the rights will be
evidenced, with respect to any common stock certificate
outstanding as of the record date, by that common stock
certificate together with a summary of rights.
The rights are not exercisable until the distribution date. The
rights will expire on May 11, 2009, unless the expiration
date is advanced or extended or unless the rights are earlier
redeemed or exchanged by Centrue Financial.
Because of the nature of the preferred stocks dividend,
liquidation and voting rights, the value of the one
one-thousandth interest in a share of preferred stock
purchasable upon exercise of each right should approximate the
value of one share of common stock.
If any person or group of affiliated or associated persons
becomes an acquiring person, each holder of a right, other than
rights beneficially owned by the acquiring person (which will
thereupon become void), will thereafter have the right to
receive upon exercise of a right and the payment of
$95.00 per right, that number of shares of common stock
having a market value of $190.00.
If after a person or group has become an acquiring person
Centrue Financial is acquired in a merger or other business
combination transaction or 50% or more of its consolidated
assets or earning power are sold, proper provisions will be made
so that each holder of a right (other than rights beneficially
owned by an acquiring person, which will become void) will
thereafter have the right to receive upon the exercise of a
right and the payment of $95.00 per right, that number of
shares of common stock of the person with whom Centrue Financial
has engaged in the foregoing transaction (or its parent) that at
the time of such transaction have a market value of $190.00.
At any time after any person or group becomes an acquiring
person and prior to the earlier of one of the events described
in the previous paragraph or the acquisition by this acquiring
person of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock,
the board of directors of Centrue Financial may exchange the
rights (other than rights owned by acquiring person, which will
become void), in whole or in part, for shares of common stock or
preferred stock (or a series of Centrue Financials
preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences and
privileges), at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock,
or a fractional share of preferred stock (or other preferred
stock) equivalent in value thereto, per right.
With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the purchase price
will be required until cumulative adjustments require an
adjustment of at least 1% in the purchase price. No fractional
shares of preferred stock or common stock will be issued (other
than fractions of preferred stock that are integral multiples of
one one-thousandth of a share of preferred stock, which may, at
the election of Centrue Financial, be evidenced by depositary
receipts), and in lieu thereof an adjustment in cash will be
made based on the current market price of the preferred stock or
the common stock.
At any time prior to the time an acquiring person becomes such,
the board of directors of Centrue Financial may redeem the
rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per
right (the redemption price). Immediately upon any
redemption of the rights, the right to exercise the rights will
terminate and the only right of the holders of rights will be to
receive the redemption price.
For so long as the rights are then redeemable, Centrue Financial
may, except with respect to the redemption price, amend the
rights agreement in any manner. After the rights are no longer
redeemable, Centrue Financial may, except with respect to the
redemption price, amend the rights agreement in any manner that
does not adversely affect the interests of holders of the rights.
Until a right is exercised or exchanged, the holder thereof, as
such, will have no rights as a stockholder of Centrue Financial,
including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive
dividends. Centrue Financial amended its right agreement
immediately prior to the execution of the merger agreement in
order to specifically exclude the merger from the terms of
Centrue Financials rights plan.
78
Summary of Amendments to UnionBancorps Certificate of
Incorporation
General. By approving the merger agreement, UnionBancorp
stockholders will also be approving and adopting the certificate
of incorporation attached as Exhibit A to the merger
agreement which provides for the following amendments to
UnionBancorps current certificate of incorporation:
|
|
|
|
|
a change in UnionBancorps corporate name from
UnionBancorp, Inc. to Centrue Financial Corporation; |
|
|
|
an increase in the number of authorized shares of UnionBancorp
common stock from 10 million to 15 million; |
|
|
|
elimination of subsection (ii) of Article VIs
requirement that certain amendments to the bylaws be approved by
a supermajority vote of the stockholders; and |
|
|
|
elimination of Article XV of the certificate of
incorporation which expressly adopted Section 203 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law concerning business
combinations with interested persons, which was described in
detail above. |
Change in Corporate Name. By approving the merger
agreement, UnionBancorps board of directors has approved a
proposal to change UnionBancorps corporate name to Centrue
Financial Corporation. Following the merger, the combined
company will work on transforming the combined company
(including its subsidiary bank) into the premier financial
institution in the northern and central Illinois markets between
Chicago and St. Louis. If the merger is approved and the
name is changed, the combined company will also change the name
of UnionBank to Centrue Bank.
Increase in Authorized Common Stock. UnionBancorp is
currently authorized to issue 10 million shares of common
stock. As
of ,
2006, the record date for the special meeting:
|
|
|
|
|
shares of UnionBancorp common stock were issued and outstanding; |
|
|
|
shares of UnionBancorp common stock were reserved for issuance
under UnionBancorps stock incentive plans; |
|
|
|
shares of UnionBancorp common stock were reserved for issuance
to Centrue Financials stockholders upon completion of the
merger; and |
|
|
|
shares were held in the treasury of UnionBancorp. |
Following the completion of the
merger, shares
will be issued and
outstanding, shares
will be reserved for issuance pursuant to UnionBancorps
stock incentive plans,
and shares
will be held in treasury. UnionBancorp also intends to reserve a
sufficient number of shares for issuance upon exercise of
the Centrue
Financial options currently outstanding. An increase in the
number of authorized shares of UnionBancorp common stock is
therefore not necessary so that UnionBancorp will have a
sufficient number of shares available for issuance upon
completion of the merger.
The UnionBancorp board believes that the authorization of
additional shares of UnionBancorp common stock is advisable to
provide the combined company with the flexibility to issue
additional shares of common stock through stock splits and stock
dividends in appropriate circumstances, and to take advantage of
opportunities to issue stock to raise additional capital to fund
possible acquisitions or for other purposes. Currently there are
no plans, understandings, agreements or arrangement concerning
the issuance of additional shares of common stock, except for
the shares to be issued (1) as a result of the merger and
(2) upon the exercise of stock options.
Uncommitted authorized but unissued shares of the combined
companys common stock may be issued from time to time to
those persons and for consideration as the board of directors as
then-comprised may determine, and holders of then-outstanding
shares of common stock of the combined company may or may not be
given the opportunity to vote with respect to the issuance,
depending upon the nature of any transaction, applicable law,
NASDAQs rules and regulations and the judgment of the
combined companys board regarding the submission of the
issuance to a vote of the stockholders of the combined company.
79
Elimination of Subsection (ii) of Article VI
and Article XV. Currently, subsection (ii) of
Article VI of UnionBancorps certificate of
incorporation requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least seventy percent of all shares of the corporation to amend
Article II, Section 5 of the bylaws (referenced
section does not exist), Sections 1, 2, and 3, of
Article III (concerning Place of Meetings,
Annual Meetings, and Notice,
respectively), and Section 1 of Article VIII
(concerning Records). The board believes that the
provisions requiring a supermajority vote of the stockholders to
amend these bylaws sections are not necessary.
Likewise, the UnionBancorp board has proposed the elimination of
Article XV of the certificate of incorporation which
expressly adopts Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, which is described in detail above. Because
UnionBancorps common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global
Market, by the terms of Section 203 itself, the statute
applies to UnionBancorp. Therefore, the UnionBancorp board has
determined that a provision expressly opting in to
Section 203 is no longer necessary.
BUSINESS OF UNIONBANCORP
General
UnionBancorp, a Delaware corporation, is a regional financial
services organization based in Ottawa, Illinois, which
wholly-owns one bank subsidiary. UnionBancorp serves customers
at nineteen locations from the far western suburbs of the
Chicago metropolitan area across central and northern Illinois,
and offers banking, trust, insurance, investment and electronic
services and products.
UnionBancorp originally was formed in 1982 as the bank holding
company for UnionBank, an Illinois state bank with its main
office located in Streator, Illinois. UnionBancorps
operating strategy is to provide customers with the business
sophistication and breadth of products of a regional financial
services company, while retaining the special attention to
personal service and the local appeal of a community
establishment. In each of UnionBancorps nineteen
locations, customers have access to a wide range of products and
services aimed at meeting the demands of a diverse market base.
Geographically, UnionBancorp serves the financial needs of
contiguous counties located in north central Illinois. In recent
years, UnionBancorp has expanded its activities from north
central Illinois into markets surrounding the Chicago
metropolitan area, as well as into additional areas of northern
Illinois. UnionBank offers a wide range of commercial and retail
lending services to businesses and individuals, including, but
not limited to, commercial business loans, commercial and
residential real estate construction and mortgage loans, loan
participations, consumer loans, revolving lines of credit and
letters of credit.
UnionBank makes direct and indirect installment loans to
consumers and commercial customers, originates and services
residential mortgages and handles the secondary marketing of
those mortgages. Agricultural loans also play a role in
UnionBancorps overall lending portfolio, although most of
this lending activity is based in the north central portion of
UnionBancorps market area. UnionBank also offers a full
range of depository services including traditional savings,
checking and money market accounts. Credit and debit cards, as
well as home banking and bill pay options, target those
customers who seek the convenience of electronic services.
UnionBanks financial services division provides a variety
of additional financial solutions, namely trust and asset
management alternatives, a full line of personal and commercial
insurance products and personalized investment options.
UnionBancorp continues to devote special attention to these
financial services areas, as the demands of customers steadily
move towards non-traditional financial offerings.
At June 30, 2006, UnionBancorp reported, on a consolidated
basis, total assets of approximately $657 million, deposits
of approximately $523 million and stockholders equity
of approximately $65 million. UnionBancorps address
is 122 West Madison Street, Ottawa, Illinois 61350 and its
telephone number is (815) 431-2720.
Properties
At June 30, 2006, UnionBancorp operated 19 offices in
Illinois. The principal offices of UnionBancorp are located in
Ottawa, Illinois. All of UnionBancorps offices are owned
by UnionBank and are not subject to
80
any mortgage or material encumbrance, with the exception of two
offices that are leased and are located in LaSalle County.
UnionBancorp believes that its current facilities are adequate
for its existing business.

Managements Discussion and Analysis
|
|
|
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003. |
The following discussion provides an analysis of the results of
operations and financial condition of UnionBancorp and
subsidiary for the three years ended December 31, 2005.
Managements discussion and analysis (MD&A) should be
read in conjunction with Selected Consolidated Financial
Data, the consolidated financial statements of
UnionBancorp, and the accompanying notes thereto. Unless
otherwise stated, all earnings per share data included in this
section and throughout the remainder of this discussion are
presented on a fully diluted basis. All financial information is
in thousands (000s), except per share data.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. Note 1
to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended
December 31, 2005 contains a summary of our significant
accounting policies. Various elements of our accounting
policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation
techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective
assessments. Our policy with respect to the methodologies used
to determine the allowance for loan losses is our most critical
accounting policy. The policy is important to the presentation
of our financial condition and results of operations, and it
involves a higher decree of complexity and requires management
to make difficult and subjective judgments, which often require
assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. The use
of different judgments, assumptions and estimates could result
in material differences in our results of operations or
financial condition.
The following is a description of our critical accounting policy

Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses
represents managements estimate of probable credit losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. Estimating the amount of the
allowance for loan losses requires significant judgment and the
use of estimates related to the amount and timing of expected
future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on pools
of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and
consideration of current economic trends and conditions, all of
which may be susceptible to significant change. The loan
portfolio also represents the largest asset type on the
consolidated balance sheet. Loan losses are charged off against
the allowance, while recoveries of amounts previously charged
off are credited to the allowance. A provision for loan losses
is charged to operations based on managements periodic
evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other
pertinent factors.
The allowance for loan losses is based on an estimation computed
pursuant to the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Statement No. 5, Accounting
for Contingencies and FASB Statements Nos. 114 and 118,
Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,
the analysis of the allowance for loan losses consists of three
components: (i) specific credit allocation established for
expected losses resulting from analysis developed through
specific credit allocations on individual loans for which the
recorded investment in the loan exceeds its fair value;
(ii) general portfolio allocation based on historical loan
81
loss experience for each loan category; and
(iii) subjective reserves based on general economic
conditions as well as specific economic factors in markets in
which UnionBancorp operates.
The specific credit allocation component of the allowances for
loan losses is based on an analysis of individual loans and
historical loss experience for each loan category. The specific
credit allocations are based on regular analysis of all loans
over a fixed-dollar amount where the internal credit rating is
at or below a predetermined classification. These analyses
involve a high degree of judgment in estimating the amount of
loss associated with specific loans, including estimating the
amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral values.
The general portfolio allocation component of the allowance for
loan losses is determined statistically using a loss analysis
that examines historical loan loss experience. The loss analysis
is performed quarterly and loss factors are updated regularly
based on actual experience. The general portfolio allocation
element of the allowance for loan losses also includes
consideration of the amounts necessary for concentrations and
changes in portfolio mix and volume.
There are many factors affecting the allowance for loan losses;
some are quantitative while others require qualitative judgment.
The process for determining the allowance (which management
believes adequately considers all of the potential factors which
might possibly result in credit losses) includes subjective
elements and, therefore, may be susceptible to significant
change. To the extent actual outcomes differs from management
estimates, additional provision for credit losses could be
required that could adversely affect Unions earnings or
financial position in future periods.
General
UnionBancorp is a bank holding company organized under the laws
of the State of Delaware. UnionBancorp derives most of its
revenues and income from the banking operations of its bank
subsidiary, but also derives revenue from the Financial Services
Division of its bank subsidiary. UnionBancorp provides a full
range of services to individual and corporate customers located
in the north central and northwest Illinois areas. These
services include demand, time, and savings deposits; lending;
mortgage banking; insurance products; brokerage services; asset
management; and trust services. UnionBancorp is subject to
competition from other financial institutions, including banks,
thrifts and credits unions, as well as nonfinancial institutions
providing financial services. Additionally, UnionBancorp and
UnionBank are subject to regulations of certain regulatory
agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory
agencies.
Results of Operations
2005 compared to 2004. Net income equaled $4,173 or
$0.99 per diluted share for the year ended
December 31, 2005 as compared to net income of $4,803 or
$1.12 per diluted share for the year ended
December 31, 2004. This represents a 13.1% decrease in net
income and an 11.6% decrease in diluted per share earnings in
the current fiscal year over fiscal 2004.
Unions annual results were lower in 2005 versus 2004 due
to the $1,700 net gain on sale (after allocating a portion
of the intangible assets and goodwill, taxes and applicable
expenses) associated with Unions divestiture of five
western Illinois sales and service center locations recorded in
the third quarter of 2004. Also contributing to the change were
volume related decreases in net interest income and other fee
based revenue largely related to the sale of the West region.
Positively impacted earnings were decreases in the provision for
loan losses due to continued improvement in asset quality levels
and volume related decreases in noninterest expense categories
due to the sale of the West region.
Return on average assets was 0.63% for the year ended
December 31, 2005 compared to 0.65% for the same period in
2004. Return on average stockholders equity was 6.06% for
the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to 7.06% for the
same period in 2004.
82
2004 compared to 2003. Net income equaled $4,803 or
$1.12 per diluted share for the year ended
December 31, 2004 as compared to net income of $2,130 or
$0.48 per diluted share for the year ended
December 31, 2003. This represents a 125.5% increase in net
income and a 133.3% increase in diluted per share earnings in
the current fiscal year over fiscal 2003.
Unions annual results were positively impacted by the net
gain on sale (after allocating a portion of the intangible
assets and goodwill, taxes and applicable expenses) and volume
related decreases in most noninterest expense categories as a
result of the sale of the West region. Also contributing to the
improvement in net income was a decrease in the provision for
loan losses and gains taken in as a result of the sale of its
credit card portfolio and one additional branch office. These
positive variances were partially offset by decreases in
mortgage banking revenue due to the slowdown in refinancing
opportunities and volume related decreases in net interest
income and other fee based revenue due to the sale of the West
regions branches.
Return on average assets was 0.65% for the year ended
December 31, 2004 compared to 0.28% for the same period in
2003. Return on average stockholders equity was 7.06% for
the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to 3.16% for the
same period in 2003.

Net Interest Income/ Margin |
Net interest income is the difference between income earned on
interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred for
the funding sources used to finance these assets. Changes in net
interest income generally occur due to fluctuations in the
volume of earning assets and paying liabilities and rates earned
and paid, respectively, on those assets and liabilities. The net
yield on total interest-earning assets, also referred to as net
interest margin, represents net interest income divided by
average interest-earning assets. Net interest margin measures
how efficiently UnionBancorp uses its earning assets and
underlying capital. Unions long-term objective is to
manage those assets and liabilities to provide the largest
possible amount of income while balancing interest rate, credit,
liquidity and capital risks. For purposes of this discussion,
both net interest income and margin have been adjusted to a
fully tax equivalent basis for certain tax-exempt securities and
loans.
2005 compared to 2004. Net interest income, on a tax
equivalent basis, was $21,587 for the year ended
December 31, 2005, compared with $22,376 earned during the
same period in 2004. This represented a decrease of $789 or
3.5%. The decrease in net interest income is attributable to the
year-over-year reduction of income earned on interest earning
assets totaling $328 combined with the year-over-year increase
of interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities
totaling $461.
The $328 reduction in interest income resulted from a decrease
of $3,748 related to volume partially offset by $3,420
improvement due to rates. The majority of the change in interest
income was related to a decline in the average loan balance
caused by the sale of the West region as well as the loan
portfolio declining due to normal paydowns, softening of loan
demand, and exiting of high-balance, high-risk credits from
portfolio. This loss in volume overcame a 44 basis point
increase in yields earned on average loans.
The $461 increase in interest expense resulted from an increase
of $2,055 associated with rate partially offset by a $1,594
decrease due to volume. The majority of the change was
attributable to a 34 basis point increase in rates paid on
deposits due to the higher interest rate environment. This
increase was slightly offset by the lower expense caused by a
decline in average deposit balances related to the sale of the
West regions branches.
The net interest margin increased 22 basis points to 3.56%
for the year ended December 31, 2005 from 3.34% during the
same period in 2004. The increase resulted primarily from the
result of the overall rising interest rate environment and a
more disciplined approach to pricing.
83
2004 compared to 2003. Net interest income, on a tax
equivalent basis, was $22,376 for the year ended
December 31, 2004, compared with $26,066 earned during the
same period in 2003. This represented a decrease of $3,690 or
14.2%. The decrease in net interest income is attributable to
the year-over-year reduction of income earned on interest
earning assets totaling $6,336 exceeding the year-over-year
reduction of interest expense paid on interest bearing
liabilities totaling $2,646.
The $6,336 reduction in interest income resulted from decreases
of $3,756 related to rate and $2,580 due to volume. The majority
of the change in interest income was related to a 60 basis
point decline in yields earned on average loans as competitive
pricing on new and refinanced loans put downward pressure on
loan yields. Also contributing to the decrease was a decline in
average loan balances due to the sale of the West region.
The $2,646 reduction in interest expense resulted from decreases
of $1,633 associated with rate and $1,013 associated with
volume. The majority of the change was attributable to a
reduction in rates paid on time deposits due to the repricing of
maturing time deposits at a lower rate. Also contributing to the
decrease was a decline in average loan balances due to the sale
of the West region.
The net interest margin decreased 31 basis points to 3.34%
for the year ended December 31, 2004 from 3.65% during the
same period in 2003. The decline resulted primarily from a
decrease in yields earned on average loans as competitive
pricing on new and refinanced loans, as well as the repricing of
variable rate loans in a relative lower interest rate
environment, put downward pressure on loan yields.
84
The following table sets forth for each category of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities the
average amounts outstanding, the interest earned or paid on such
amounts, and the average rate paid during 2004, 2003 and 2002.
The table also sets forth the average rate earned on all
interest-earning assets, the average rate paid on all
interest-bearing liabilities, and the net yield on average
interest-earning assets for the same period. For purposes of
this discussion, both net interest income and margin have been
adjusted to a fully tax equivalent basis for certain tax-exempt
securities and loans.

Average balance and average rate on securities classified as
available-for-sale are based on historical amortized cost
balances. |
|
(2) |
Interest income and average rate on non-taxable securities are
reflected on a tax equivalent basis based upon a statutory
federal income tax rate of 34%. |
|
(3) |
Nonaccrual loans are included in the average balances. |
|
(4) |
Overdraft loans are excluded in the average balances. |
Unions net interest income is affected by changes in the
amount and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, referred to as volume change. It is
also affected by changes in yields earned on interest-earning
assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other
borrowed funds referred to as rate change. The
following table reflects the changes in net interest income
stemming from changes in interest rates and from asset and
liability volume, including mix. Any variance attributable
jointly to volume and rate changes is allocated to the volume
and rate variances in proportion to the relationship of the
absolute dollar amount of the change in each.

Provision for Loan Losses. The amount of the provision
for loan losses is based on managements evaluations of the
loan portfolio, with particular attention directed toward
nonperforming, impaired and other potential problem loans.
During these evaluations, consideration is also given to such
factors as managements evaluation of specific loans, the
level and composition of impaired loans, other nonperforming
loans, other
86
identified potential problem loans, historical loss experience,
results of examinations by regulatory agencies, results of the
independent asset quality review process, the market value of
collateral, the estimate of discounted cash flows, the strength
and availability of guarantees, concentrations of credits, and
various other factors, including concentration of credit risk in
various industries and current economic conditions.
2005 compared to 2004. The 2005 provision for loan losses
charged to operating expense totaled $250, a decrease of $1,674
in comparison to the $1,924 recorded during the same period for
2004. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was due to
the continued improvement in the management of the nonperforming
and action/watch list loans from year-end 2004 to year-end 2005,
including improved problem asset identification. Furthermore,
this was positively impacted by loan resolutions, either through
charge-off of nonbankable assets or through successful workout
strategies that were executed throughout 2005. Net charge-offs
for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $1,620 compared
with $1,029 in the same period of 2004. Annualized net
charge-offs increased to 0.39% of average loans for 2005
compared to 0.23% in the same period in 2004.
Management remains watchful of credit quality issues. Should the
economic climate deteriorate from current levels, borrowers may
experience difficulty, and the level of nonperforming loans,
charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require further
increases in the provision.
2004 compared to 2003. The 2004 provision for loan losses
charged to operating expense totaled $1,924, a decrease of
$6,312 in comparison to the $8,236 recorded during the same
period for 2003. The decrease in the provision for loan losses
was due to an improvement in nonperforming and action/watch list
loans from year-end 2003 to year-end 2004, as well as
resolutions, either through charge-off of nonbankable assets or
through successful workout strategies that were executed
throughout 2004. Unions 2003 provisions were largely
attributable to the deterioration of two impaired commercial
credits identified in
Unions 10-Q
report filed for the quarter ended June 20, 2003. As a
result of the deterioration of these two loan relationships,
UnionBancorp specifically provided $3,500 to its allowance for
loan losses during the third quarter of 2003 for the losses
incurred on these two credits. Net charge-offs for the year
ended December 31, 2004 were $1,029 compared with $5,675 in
the same period of 2003. Annualized net charge-offs decreased to
0.23% of average loans for 2004 compared to 1.18% in the same
period in 2003.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income consists of a wide
variety of fee-based revenues from bank-related service charges
on deposits and mortgage revenues. Also included in this
category are revenues generated by Unions insurance,
brokerage, trust and asset management services as well as
increases in cash surrender value on bank-owned life insurance.
The following table summarizes Unions noninterest income:

2005 compared to 2004. Noninterest income totaled $7,602
for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to
$14,102 for the same timeframe in 2004. This represented a
decrease of $6,500 or 46.1% in 2005
87
over the prior period. Excluding net securities gains and the
gains on sale of branches and Unions credit card
portfolio, noninterest income shows a year-over-year decrease of
$2,039 or 21.0%.
Excluding net securities gains and gains on sale of the branches
and the credit card portfolio, the decrease in noninterest
income was related to a $670 decline in mortgage banking income,
an $870 decrease in service charges and $416 decline in
insurance commissions. Decreases in service charges and other
fee based revenue were largely due to volume associated with the
sale of the West regions branches in 2004. The decrease in
insurance commission fees was due to account retention issues
and lower than anticipated new account production. The remaining
categories remained relatively stable with only slight
year-over-year changes.
Mortgage banking income, which includes gains generated from the
sale of loans and net servicing revenue (after amortization of
mortgage servicing rights), was lower in 2005 due to a decrease
in mortgage origination volume slightly offset by an increase in
revenue generated by the servicing rights portfolio due to the
slowdown in refinancing activity.
2004 compared to 2003. Noninterest income totaled $14,102
for the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared to
$13,719 for the same timeframe in 2003. This represented an
increase of $383 or 2.8% in 2004 over the prior period.
Excluding net securities gains and the gains on sale of the West
region, Unions credit card portfolio and Blandinsville,
noninterest income shows a year-over-year decrease of $3,722 or
27.7%.
Excluding net securities gains and gains on sale of the West
region, Blandinsville and the credit card portfolio, the
majority of the change to noninterest income was related to a
$1,927 decline in mortgage banking income. Mortgage banking
income, which includes gains generated from the sale of loans
and net servicing revenue (after amortization of mortgage
servicing rights), was lower in 2004 due to a decrease in
mortgage origination volume partially offset by an increase in
revenue generated by the servicing rights portfolio due to the
slowdown in refinancing activity.
Also contributing to the change was a decrease in merchant fee
income due to the sale of the credit card portfolio and volume
related decreases in service charges, nsf fees, and other fee
based revenue related to the sale of the West region. The
remaining categories remained relatively stable with only slight
year-over-year changes.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense is comprised
primarily of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy and
other operating expense. The following table summarizes

2005 compared to 2004. Noninterest expense totaled
$22,965 for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared
to $26,981 for the same timeframe in 2004. This represented a
decrease of $4,016 or 14.9% in 2005 from 2004. Approximately 40%
of the improvement in noninterest expense levels was due to
$1,621 in cost
88
savings from salaries and employee benefits expense related to
the sale of the West regions branches. Also contributing
to the change were volume related decreases in occupancy expense
of $890, furniture and equipment of $280 and other expense of
$798 related to the branch sales in 2004.
2004 compared to 2003. Noninterest expense totaled
$26,981 for the year ended December 31, 2004, as compared
to $28,607 for the same timeframe in 2003. This represented a
decrease of $1,626 or 5.7% in 2004 from 2003. A majority of the
savings in noninterest expense was due to $724 in cost savings
associated with the divestiture of the credit card portfolio
(included in other expenses) and a $610 decline in salaries and
employee benefits expense due to the sale of the West region and
other reductions in staffing levels. Also contributing to the
change were decreases in telephone costs related to the
reduction of the number of data lines utilized in Unions
infrastructure and savings in other real estate expense related
to the resolution of certain other real estate properties.
These cost savings were partially offset by increases in
occupancy and equipment expense related to a full year of
expenses from our Yorkville branch that was opened in December
of 2003 and the write-down of one of Unions sales and
service center buildings in association with its anticipated
closing. The remaining categories remained relatively stable
with only slight year-over-year changes.
Applicable Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the
periods included benefits for tax-exempt income, tax-advantaged
investments and general business tax credits offset by the
effect of nondeductible expenses. The following table shows
Unions income before income taxes, as well as applicable
income taxes and the effective tax rate for each of the past
three years:

UnionBancorp recorded income tax expense of $1,199 and $2,056
for 2005 and 2004, respectively. Effective tax rates equaled
22.3% and 30.0% respectively, for such periods. During the
second quarter of 2005, UnionBancorp recorded a $251 reduction
in state income taxes due to the receipt of a tax refund related
to amended tax returns outstanding from prior years. Excluding
this refund, the effective tax rate would have been 27.0%.
Unions effective tax rate was lower than statutory rates
due to several factors. First, UnionBancorp derives interest
income from municipal securities and loans, which are exempt
from federal tax and certain U.S. government agency
securities, which are exempt from Illinois State tax. Second,
the level of tax-exempt income has increased as a percentage of
taxable income. Third, state income taxes were lower due to a
refund from amended tax returns for prior years. Finally,
UnionBancorp has reduced tax expense through various tax
planning initiatives.
Preferred Stock Dividends. UnionBancorp paid $207 of
preferred stock dividends in 2005, $207 of preferred stock
dividends in 2004 and $193 of preferred stock dividends in 2003.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Management |
The business of UnionBancorp and the composition of its balance
sheet consist of investments in interest-earning assets
(primarily loans and securities) which are primarily funded by
interest-bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). All of
the financial instruments of UnionBancorp are for other than
trading purposes. Such financial instruments have varying levels
of sensitivity to changes in market rates of interest. The
operating income and net income of UnionBank depends, to a
substantial extent, on rate differentials, i.e., the
differences between the income UnionBank receives from loans,
securities, and other earning assets and the interest expense
they pay to obtain deposits and other liabilities. These rates
are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control
of UnionBank, including general economic conditions and the
policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities.
89
UnionBancorp measures its overall interest rate sensitivity
through a net interest income analysis. The net interest income
analysis measures the change in net interest income in the event
of hypothetical changes in interest rates. This analysis
assesses the risk of changes in net interest income in the event
of a sudden and sustained 100 to 200 basis point increase
in market interest rates or a 100 to 200 basis point
decrease in market rates. The interest rates scenarios are used
for analytical purposes and do not necessarily represent
managements view of future market movements.
The tables below present Unions projected changes in net
interest income for 2005 and 2004 for the various rate shock
levels.

Based on Unions model at December 31, 2005, the
effect of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest
rates would increase Unions net interest income by 4.34%
or approximately $959. The effect of an immediate 200 basis
point decrease in rates would decrease Unions net interest
income by $2,340 or 10.59%.

Based on Unions model at December 31, 2004, the
effect of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest
rates would increase Unions net interest income by 4.96%
or approximately $996. However, if this had been presented the
impact of a 200 basis point reduction would have been a
decrease of $2,516 or 12.53% to net interest income.

Nonperforming Assets. Unions financial statements
are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, including the
recognition of interest income on its loan portfolio, unless a
loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Loans are placed on
nonaccrual status when there are serious doubts regarding the
collectibility of all principal and interest due under the terms
of the loans. Amounts received on nonaccrual loans generally are
applied first to principal and then to interest after all
principal has been collected. It is the policy of UnionBancorp
not to renegotiate the terms of a loan because of a delinquent
status. Rather, a loan is generally transferred to nonaccrual
status if it is not in the process of collection and is
delinquent in payment of either principal or interest beyond
90 days. Loans which are 90 days delinquent but are
well secured and in the process of collection are not included
in nonperforming assets. Other nonperforming assets consist of
real estate acquired through loan foreclosures or other workout
situations and other assets acquired through repossessions.
The classification of a loan as nonaccrual does not necessarily
indicate that the principal is uncollectible, in whole or in
part. UnionBank makes a determination as to collectibility on a
case-by-case basis. UnionBank considers both the adequacy of the
collateral and the other resources of the borrower in
determining the steps to be taken to collect nonaccrual loans.
The final determination as to the steps taken is made based upon
the specific facts of each situation. Alternatives that are
typically considered to collect nonaccrual loans are
foreclosure, collection under guarantees, loan restructuring, or
judicial collection actions.
Each of Unions loans is assigned a rating based upon an
internally developed grading system. A separate credit
administration department also reviews grade assignments on an
ongoing basis. Management continuously monitors nonperforming,
impaired, and past due loans to prevent further deterioration of
these loans.
92
UnionBancorp has an independent loan review function which is
separate from the lending function and is responsible for the
review of new and existing loans.

The level of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2005
decreased to $4,004 versus the $4,202 that existed as of
December 31, 2004. The level of nonperforming loans to
total end of period loans was 0.96% at December 31, 2005,
as compared to 1.00% at December 31, 2004. The reserve
coverage ratio (allowance to nonperforming loans) was reported
at 208.84% as of December 31, 2005 as compared to 231.6% as
of December 31, 2004.
Subsequent to December 31, 2005, a loan relationship that
was classified as impaired as of year end paid off. The loan
relationship had an outstanding balance of $4,400 and
Unions allowance for loan loss calculation had a specific
reserve allocation of $1,500 on this relationship as of year end.
Other Potential Problem Loans. UnionBancorp has other
potential problem loans that are currently performing and do not
meet the criteria for impairment, but where some concern exists.
Excluding nonperforming loans and loans that management has
classified as impaired, these other potential problem loans
totaled $2,879 at December 31, 2005 as compared to $4,570
at December 31, 2004. The classification of these loans,
however, does not imply that management expects losses on each
of these loans. Rather, management believes that a higher level
of scrutiny and close monitoring is prudent under the
circumstances. Such classifications relate to specific concerns
for each individual borrower and do not relate to any
concentration risk common to all loans in this group.

owned and other collateral acquired at December 31, 2005:

Allowance for Loan Losses. At December 31, 2005, the
allowance for loan losses was $8,362 or 2.00% of total loans as
compared to $9,732 or 2.32% at December 31, 2004. In
originating loans, UnionBancorp recognizes that credit losses
will be experienced and the risk of loss will vary with, among
other things: general economic conditions; the type of loan
being made; the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term
of the
93
loan; and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of
the collateral for such a loan. The allowance for loan losses
represents Unions estimate of the allowance necessary to
provide for probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. In
making this determination, UnionBancorp analyzes the ultimate
collectibility of the loans in its portfolio, feedback provided
by internal loan staff, the independent loan review function,
and information provided by examinations performed by regulatory
agencies. UnionBancorp makes an ongoing evaluation as to the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
On a quarterly basis, management reviews the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses. Commercial credits are graded by the
loan officers and the loan review function validates the
officers grades. In the event that the loan review
function downgrades the loan, it is included in the allowance
analysis at the lower grade. The grading system is in compliance
with the regulatory classifications and the allowance is
allocated to the loans based on the regulatory grading, except
in instances where there are known differences (i.e., collateral
value is nominal, etc.). To establish the appropriate level of
the allowance, a sample of loans (including impaired and
nonperforming loans) are reviewed and classified as to potential
loss exposure.
Based on an estimation computed pursuant to the requirements of
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies,
and FASB Statements Nos. 114 and 118, Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, the analysis of the
allowance for loan losses consists of three components:
(i) specific credit allocation established for expected
losses resulting from analysis developed through specific credit
allocations on individual loans for which the recorded
investment in the loan exceeds its fair value; (ii) general
portfolio allocation based on historical loan loss experience
for each loan category; and (iii) subjective reserves based
on general economic conditions as well as specific economic
factors in the markets in which UnionBancorp operates.
The specific credit allocation component of the allowance for
loan losses is based on a regular analysis of loans over a
fixed-dollar amount where the internal credit rating is at or
below a predetermined classification. The fair value of the loan
is determined based on either the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loans effective
interest rate, the market price of the loan, or, if the loan is
collateral dependent, the fair value of the underlying
collateral less cost of sale.
The general portfolio allocation component of the allowance for
loan losses is determined statistically using a loss analysis
that examines historical loan loss experience. The loss analysis
is performed quarterly and loss factors are updated regularly
based on actual experience. The general portfolio allocation
element of the allowance for loan losses also includes
consideration of the amounts necessary for concentrations and
changes in portfolio mix and volume.
The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and
ultimate losses will vary from current estimates. These
estimates are reviewed quarterly, and as adjustments, either
positive or negative, become necessary, a corresponding increase
or decrease is made in the provision for loan losses. The
composition of the loan portfolio has not significantly changed
since year-end 2003. The methodology used to determine the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is consistent with
prior years, and there were no reallocations.
Management remains watchful of credit quality issues. Should the
economic climate deteriorate from current levels, borrowers may
experience difficulty, and the level of nonperforming loans,
charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require further
increases in the provision.

In years prior to 2004, management considered the unallocated
portion of the allowance necessary to allow for inherent
subjective reserves that are needed based on general economic
conditions and specific economic factors. Since 2004, management
has included the subjective portion of the allowance as a part
of the allocation process to the respective loan categories.
Management does not deem this process to be a change in
methodology, but rather a refinement in their loan loss
calculation. Management believes that there would be no change
in the balance of the allowance for loan losses if this approach
was used in all of the years presented.
Securities Activities. Unions consolidated
securities portfolio, which represented 31.4% of Unions
average earning asset base as of December 31, 2005, as
compared to 32.7% as of December 31, 2004, is managed to
minimize interest rate risk, maintain sufficient liquidity, and
maximize return. The portfolio includes several callable agency
debentures, adjustable rate mortgage pass-throughs, and
collateralized mortgage obligations. Corporate bonds consist of
investment grade obligations of public corporations. Equity
securities consist of Federal Reserve stock, Federal Home
Loan Bank stock, and trust preferred stock. Unions
financial planning anticipates income streams generated by the
securities portfolio based on normal maturity and reinvestment.
Securities classified as available-for-sale, carried at fair
value, were $196,440 at December 31, 2005 compared to
$191,661 at December 31, 2004. UnionBancorp does not have
any securities classified as trading or
held-to-maturity.

As of December 31, 2005, average time deposits over
$100,000 represented 28.5% of total average deposits, compared
with 25.8% of total average deposits as of December 31,
2004. Unions large denomination time deposits are
generally from customers within the local market areas of its
subsidiary bank and provide a greater degree of stability than
is typically associated with brokered deposit customers with
limited business relationships.

deposits of $100,000 or more at December 31, 2005:

UnionBancorp manages its liquidity position with the objective
of maintaining sufficient funds to respond to the needs of
depositors and borrowers and to take advantage of earnings
enhancement opportunities. In addition to the normal inflow of
funds from core-deposit growth together with repayments and
maturities of loans and investments, UnionBancorp utilizes other
short-term funding sources such as brokered time deposits,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase, overnight
federal funds purchased from correspondent banks and the
acceptance of short-term deposits from public entities, and
Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
UnionBancorp monitors and manages its liquidity position on
several bases, which vary depending upon the time period. As the
time period is expanded, other data is factored in, including
estimated loan funding requirements, estimated loan payoffs,
investment portfolio maturities or calls, and anticipated
depository buildups or runoffs.
UnionBancorp classifies all of its securities as
available-for-sale, thereby maintaining significant liquidity.
Unions liquidity position is further enhanced by
structuring its loan portfolio interest payments as monthly and
by the significant representation of retail credit and
residential mortgage loans in Unions loan portfolio,
resulting in a steady stream of loan repayments. In managing its
investment portfolio, UnionBancorp provides for staggered
maturities so that cash flows are provided as such investments
mature.
Unions cash flows are comprised of three classifications:
cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing
activities, and cash flows from financing activities. Cash flows
used in investing activities offset by those provided by
operating activities and financing activities, resulted in a net
increase in cash and cash equivalents of $1,556 from
December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2005.
During 2005, UnionBancorp experienced net cash inflows of $3,104
in financing activities primarily due to an increase in deposits
and $8,289 from operating activities due to proceeds from net
loans sales and net income. In contrast, net cash outflows of
$9,837 were used in investing activities due to purchases of
securities.
UnionBanks securities portfolio, federal funds sold, and
cash and due from bank deposit balances serve as the primary
sources of liquidity for Union. At December 31, 2005, 33.4%
of UnionBanks interest-bearing liabilities were in the
form of time deposits of $100,000 and over. Management believes
these deposits to be a stable source of funds. However, if a
large number of these time deposits matured at approximately the
same time and were not renewed, UnionBanks liquidity could
be adversely affected. Currently, the maturities of
UnionBanks large time deposits are spread throughout the
year, with 37.1% maturing in the first quarter of 2006, 19.0%
maturing in the second quarter of 2006, 22.7% maturing in the
third and fourth quarters of 2006, and the remaining 21.2%
maturing thereafter. UnionBank monitors those maturities in an
effort to minimize any adverse effect on liquidity.
Unions borrowings included notes payable at
December 31, 2005 in the principal amount of $9,200 payable
to Unions principal correspondent bank and $268 payable to
individuals related to the purchase of the Howard Marshall
Agency. The note to Unions principal correspondent bank is
renewable annually, requires quarterly interest payments, and is
collateralized by Unions stock in the Bank. The note
related to the purchase of the Howard Marshall Agency requires
monthly principal and interest payments.
Unions principal source of funds for repayment of the
indebtedness is dividends from UnionBank. At December 31,
2005, approximately $2,500 was available for dividends without
regulatory approval.

Stockholders Equity. UnionBancorp is committed to
managing capital for maximum shareholder benefit and maintaining
strong protection for depositors and creditors.
Stockholders equity at December 31, 2005 was $66,075,
a decrease of $4,172 or 5.9%, from December 31, 2004. The
stockholders equity decrease was largely the result of the
purchase of $5,739 in treasury stock and dividends paid to
shareholders offset partially by 2005 net income. Average
equity as a percentage of average assets was 10.39% at
December 31, 2005, compared to 9.27% at December 31,
2004. Book value per common share equaled $17.23 at
December 31, 2005, a decrease from $17.30 reported at the
end of 2004.
Stock Repurchase Programs. On May 2, 2003, the Board
of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan whereby
UnionBancorp may repurchase from time to time up to 5% of its
outstanding shares of common stock in the open market or in
private transactions over an 18 month period. On
September 23, 2004, the Board of Directors extended
Unions stock repurchase program through May 2, 2006.
On July 5, 2005, UnionBancorp announced the approval of a
new program to commence at the conclusion of the previously
authorized repurchase program. Under the terms of the plan,
UnionBancorp is able to repurchase, from time to time, up to 5%
of its outstanding shares of common stock in the open market or
in private transactions. Purchases are dependent upon market
conditions and the availability of shares. The extension of the
repurchase program enables UnionBancorp to optimize its use of
capital relative to other investment alternatives and benefits
both UnionBancorp and the shareholders by enhancing earnings per
share and return on equity. As of December 31, 2005,
UnionBancorp has repurchased 268,754 shares at a weighted
average cost of $21.35.
Capital Measurements. UnionBank is expected to meet a
minimum risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8%,
of which at least one-half (or 4%) must be in the form of
Tier 1 (core) capital. The remaining one-half (or 4%)
may be in the form of Tier 1 (core) or Tier 2
(supplementary) capital. The
100
amount of loan loss allowance that may be included in capital is
limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. The ratio of
Tier 1 (core) and the combined amount of Tier 1
(core) and Tier 2 (supplementary) capital to
risk-weighted assets for UnionBancorp was 12.1% and 13.3%,
respectively, at December 31, 2005. UnionBancorp is
currently, and expects to continue to be, in compliance with
these guidelines.
As of December 31, 2005, the Tier 2 risk-based capital
was comprised of $6,266 in allowance for loan losses (limited to
1.25% of risk-weighted assets). The Series A Preferred
Stock is convertible into common stock, subject to certain
adjustments intended to offset the amount of losses incurred by
UnionBancorp upon the post-closing sale of certain securities
acquired in conjunction with the 1996 acquisition of Prairie.

Impact of Inflation, Changing Prices, and Monetary
Policies |
The financial statements and related financial data concerning
UnionBancorp have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
which require the measurement of financial position and
operating results in terms of historical dollars without
considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money
over time due to inflation. The primary effect of inflation on
the operations of UnionBancorp is reflected in increased
operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all
of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are
monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates have
a more significant effect on the performance of a financial
institution than do the effects of changes in the general rate
of inflation and changes in prices. Interest rates do not
necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude
as the prices of goods and services. Interest rates are highly
sensitive to many factors which are beyond the control of Union,
including the influence of domestic and foreign economic
conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United
States government and federal agencies, particularly the FRB.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six
Month Periods Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. |
The following discussion provides an analysis of the
UnionBancorp and subsidiary results of operations and financial
condition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006
as compared to the same period in 2005. Managements
discussion and analysis (MD&A) should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes presented elsewhere in this report as well as
UnionBancorps 2005 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
Annualized results of operations during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the full year of 2006. Unless
otherwise stated, all earnings per share data included in this
section and throughout the remainder of this discussion are
presented on a diluted basis. All financial information is in
thousands (000s), except per share data.

|
|
Second Quarter Highlights |
|
|
|
|
|
Earnings per share were unchanged compared to the second quarter
of 2005. |
|
|
|
UnionBancorps earnings were positively impacted by a $300
negative provision for loan losses largely based on continued
improvements in the quality of the loan portfolio, which was
partially offset by a loss on sale of securities of $88 in order
to better position the securities portfolio. Excluding these
items, net income for the quarter would have equaled $1,163 or
$0.29 per diluted share. |
|
|
|
The second quarter of 2005 results were positively impacted by a
$251 reduction in state income taxes and $90 of interest
received due to the receipt of a tax refund related to amended
tax returns outstanding from prior years. Excluding these items,
net income for the second quarter of 2005 would have equaled
$1,076 or $0.25 per diluted share. |
|
|
|
Due to the flat yield curve, the net interest margin decreased
to 3.37% during the second quarter of 2006 as compared with
3.59% for the same period in 2005 and 3.50% in the first quarter
of 2006. |
|
|
|
The loan portfolio decreased to $403.5 million as compared
to $417.5 million at December 31, 2005. Of this
decrease in balances, approximately $7.7 million or 55% was
related to the pay-off of action list credits refinanced with a
competitor. |
|
|
|
The level of nonperforming loans to end of period loans totaled
0.70% as of June 30, 2006 compared to 0.95% at
June 30, 2005 and 0.96% on December 31, 2005. |
|
|
|
Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2006 were 0.09% of
average loans as compared to 0.19% for the same period 2005. |
|
|
|
UnionBancorps Board of Directors approved the payment of a
$0.12 quarterly cash dividend on UnionBancorps common
stock, marking the
85th consecutive
quarter of dividends paid to stockholders. |
Net income equaled $1,294 or $0.33 per diluted share for
the three months ended June 30, 2006, versus $1,382 or
$0.33 per diluted share for the same period in 2005. For
the six months ended June 30, 2006 net income equaled
$2,940 or $0.74 per diluted share compared to $2,346 or
$0.55 per diluted share earned in the same period during
2005.
UnionBancorps quarterly results were positively impacted
by a negative provision of $300 to the allowance for loan
losses. This action was largely based on continued improvements
in the quality of the loan portfolio, favorable loan loss
experience and managements beliefs regarding the
probability and estimations of future losses inherent in the
loan portfolio. Additionally, quarterly earnings were assisted
by continued management of noninterest expense levels led to
decreased expense levels, and fewer FTEs drove salary and
benefit costs lower and lower accounting and professional fees.
These items were partially offset by increased interest expense
due to higher rates and an adverse shift in the deposit base
from lower paying core deposit accounts to higher paying time
deposit accounts. Also contributing to the change in earnings
were decreases in revenue generated from the mortgage banking
division and insurance and brokerage product lines due to lower
production volumes.
Return on average assets was 0.79% for the second quarter of
2006 compared to 0.83% for the same period in 2005. Return on
average assets was 0.89% for the six month period ended
June 30, 2006 compared to 0.71% for the same period in 2005.
Return on average stockholders equity was 7.93% for the
second quarter of 2006 compared to 7.94% for the same period in
2005. Return on average stockholders equity was 9.03% for
the six month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to 6.73%
for the same period in 2005.

Net Interest Income/Margin |
Net interest income is the difference between income earned on
interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred for
the funding sources used to finance these assets. Changes in net
interest income generally occur due to fluctuations in the
volume of earning assets and paying liabilities and the rates
earned and paid, respectively, on those assets and liabilities.
The net yield on total interest-earning assets, also referred to
as net interest margin, represents net interest income divided
by average interest-earning assets. Net interest margin measures
how efficiently UnionBancorp uses its earning assets and
underlying capital. UnionBancorps long-term objective is
to manage those assets and liabilities to provide the largest
possible amount of income while balancing interest rate, credit,
liquidity and capital risks. For purposes of this discussion,
both net interest income and margin have been adjusted to a
fully tax equivalent basis for certain tax-exempt securities and
loans.
Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, was $5,078 for
the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared with $5,438
earned during the same three-month period in 2005. This
represented a decrease of $360 or 6.6% from the prior year
period. The change in net interest income is attributable to the
increase in interest expense paid on interest bearing
liabilities totaling $1,260 partially offset by an increase in
interest income earned on interest earning assets totaling $900.
The $900 increase in interest income resulted from an increase
of $976 due to rate partially offset by a decrease of $76 due to
volume. The majority of the change in interest income was
related to the increases in rates experienced from the loan and
investment portfolios. Additionally, the volume within the
security portfolio was $7,049 higher for the second quarter of
2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. These increases
were slightly offset by lower volume in the loan portfolio.
The $1,260 increase in interest expense resulted from increases
of $1,182 associated with rate and $78 associated with volume.
The majority of the change was attributable to a 107 basis
point increase in rates paid on time deposits, a 114 basis
point increase in rates paid on money market accounts and a
68 basis point increase in rates paid on NOW accounts.
The net interest margin decreased 22 basis points to 3.37%
in the second quarter 2006 as compared with 3.57% for the same
period in 2005. The expectation of a flat yield curve is likely
to maintain pressure on margins for the remainder of 2006.
Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, for the six
months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $10,392, representing a
decrease of $289 or 2.7% compared to the $10,681 earned during
the same period in 2005. Net interest income decreased largely
due to the increase in interest expense paid on interest bearing
liabilities totaling $2,403 exceeding the increase in the
interest income earned on interest-earning assets totaling
$2,114. The net interest margin for the first six months of 2006
decreased 12 basis points to 3.44% compared to 3.56% for
the same period in 2005.
103
UnionBancorps net interest income is affected by changes
in the amount and mix of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as volume
change. It is also affected by changes in yields earned on
interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing
deposits and other borrowed funds referred to as rate
change. The following table details each category of
average amounts outstanding for interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, average rate earned on all
interest-earning assets, average rate paid on all
interest-bearing liabilities, and the net yield on average
interest-earning assets. In addition, the table reflects the
changes in net interest income stemming from changes in interest
rates and from asset and liability volume, including mix. The
change in interest attributable to both rate and volume has been
allocated to the changes in the rate and the volume on a pro
rata basis.

Provision for Loan Losses. UnionBancorp recorded a
negative provision of $300 to the allowance for loan losses for
the second quarter of 2006 which is a decrease of $300 from the
$0 recorded during the same period a year ago. A negative $1,100
provision for the loan losses was charged to operation expense
for the six months ended June 30, 2006 which was a decrease
of $1,200 from $100 recorded during the same period a year ago.
The decrease in the provision was largely based on continued
improvements in the quality of the loan portfolio, favorable
loan loss experience and managements beliefs regarding the
probability and estimations of future losses inherent in the
loan portfolio. Nonperforming loans decreased $1,029 from $3,835
as of June 30, 2005 to $2,806 as of June 30, 2006. In
comparison to December 31, 2005, nonperforming loans
decreased $1,198 from $4,004.
Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2006 were $358
compared with $789 for the comparable period in 2005. Annualized
net charge-offs were 0.09% of average loans for the second
quarter of 2006 compared with 0.19% of average loans for same
period in 2005. Net charge-off for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 were $414 compared with $673 for the
comparable period in 2005. Annualized net charge-offs also
decreased to 0.10% of average loans for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 compared to 0.16% in the same period in 2005.
See Nonperforming Assets and Other Potential
Problem Loans for further information.
The amount of the provision for loan losses is based on
managements evaluations of the loan portfolio, with
particular attention directed toward nonperforming, impaired and
other potential problem loans. During these evaluations,
consideration is also given to such factors as managements
evaluation of specific loans, the level and composition of
impaired loans, other nonperforming loans, other identified
potential problem loans, historical loss experience, results of
examinations by regulatory agencies, results of the independent
asset quality review process, the market value of collateral,
the estimate of discounted cash flows, the strength and
availability of guarantees, concentrations of credits, and
various other factors, including concentration of credit risk in
various industries and current economic conditions.
Management remains watchful of credit quality issues.
Should the economic climate deteriorate from current levels,
borrowers may experience difficulty, and the level of
nonperforming loans, charge-offs and delinquencies could rise
and require further increases in the provision.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income consists of a wide
variety of fee-based revenues from bank-related service charges
on deposits and mortgage revenues. Also included in this
category are revenues generated by UnionBancorps
insurance, brokerage, trust and asset management product lines
as well as increases in cash surrender value on bank-owned life
insurance.

Noninterest income totaled $1,697 for the three months ended
June 30, 2006, compared to $2,031 for the same period in
2005. Exclusive of the net gains on sale of assets and net
securities gains for both periods, noninterest income equaled
$1,794 for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared
to $2,030 for the same period in 2005. This represented a
decrease of $236 or 11.6%. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was
primarily attributable to a production level decrease in revenue
generated from the mortgage banking division, lower brokerage
and insurance revenue and losses related to investment activity.
Noninterest income totaled $3,457 for the six months ended
June 30, 2006, compared to $3,881 for the same time frame
in 2005. Excluding all net gains on sale of assets and net
securities gains for both periods, noninterest income decreased
$324 or 8.4%. The change was largely reflective of the same
items discussed regarding the second quarter.

Noninterest expense totaled $5,129 for the three months ended
June 30, 2006, as compared to $5,627 for the same period in
2005. This represented a decrease of $498 or 8.9%. This
improvement in noninterest expense was primarily due to the
reduction of salary and benefit costs, and lower accounting and
professional fees. These savings were offset by a modest
increase in furniture and fixture expense.
Noninterest expense totaled $10,463 for the six months ended
June 30, 2006, decreasing by $710 or 6.4% from the same
period in 2005. The change was largely reflective of the same
items discussed regarding the second quarter.
108
Applicable Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the
periods included benefits for tax-exempt income, tax-advantaged
investments and general business tax credits offset by the
effect of nondeductible expenses. The following table shows

UnionBancorp recorded an income tax expense of $525 and of $302
for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. Effective tax rates equaled 28.9% and 17.9%
respectively, for such periods. During the second quarter of
2005, UnionBancorp recorded a $251 reduction in state income
taxes due to the receipt of a tax refund related to amended
returns outstanding from prior years. Excluding this refund, the
effective tax rate would have been 32.8% for that period.
Income tax expense for the periods included benefits for
tax-exempt income, tax-advantaged investments and general
business tax credits offset by the effect of nondeductible
expenses. UnionBancorps effective tax rate was lower than
statutory rates due to UnionBancorp deriving interest income
from municipal securities and loans, which are exempt from
federal tax and certain U.S. government agency securities,
which are exempt from Illinois State tax. Additionally,
UnionBancorp has reduced tax expense through various tax
planning initiatives.
UnionBancorp recorded income tax expense of $1,288 and $627 for
the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Effective tax rates equaled 30.5% and 21.1% respectively, for
such periods.
Preferred Stock Dividends. UnionBancorp paid $52 in
preferred stock dividends for the three months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. UnionBancorp paid
$104 in preferred stock dividends for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Management |
The business of UnionBancorp and the composition of its balance
sheet consist of investments in interest-earning assets
(primarily loans and securities) which are primarily funded by
interest-bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings). All of
the financial instruments of UnionBancorp are for other than
trading purposes. Such financial instruments have varying levels
of sensitivity to changes in market rates of interest. The
operating income and net income of UnionBank depends, to a
substantial extent, on rate differentials, i.e., the
differences between the income UnionBank receives from loans,
securities, and other earning assets and the interest expense
they pay to obtain deposits and other liabilities. These rates
are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control
of UnionBank, including general economic conditions and the
policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities.
109
UnionBancorp measures its overall interest rate sensitivity
through a net interest income analysis. The net interest income
analysis measures the change in net interest income in the event
of hypothetical changes in interest rates. This analysis
assesses the risk of changes in net interest income in the event
of a sudden and sustained 100 to 200 basis point increase
in market interest rates or a 100 basis point decrease in
market rates. The interest rates scenarios are used for
analytical purposes and do not necessarily represent
managements view of future market movements. The tables
below present UnionBancorps projected changes in net
interest income for the various rate shock levels at
June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively:

Based upon UnionBancorps model at June 30, 2006, the
effect of an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest
rates would increase UnionBancorps net interest income by
$347 or 1.52%. The effect of an immediate 200 basis point
decrease in rates would decrease UnionBancorps net
interest income by $1,430 or 6.28%.

Based upon UnionBancorps model at December 31, 2005,
the effect of an immediate 200 basis point increase in
interest rates would increase UnionBancorps net interest
income by $959 or 4.34%. The effect of an immediate
200 basis point decrease in rates would decrease
UnionBancorps net interest income by $2,340 or 10.59%.
General. As of June 30, 2006, UnionBancorp had total
assets of $656,831, total gross loans of $403,455, total
deposits of $522,695 and total stockholders equity of
$65,304. Total assets decreased by $19,391 or 2.9% from year-end
2005. Total gross loans decreased by $14,070 or 3.4% from
year-end 2005. Total deposits declined by $21,146 or 3.9% from
year-end 2005.
Nonperforming Assets. UnionBancorps financial
statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting,
including the recognition of interest income on its loan
portfolio, unless a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Loans
are placed on nonaccrual status when there are serious doubts
regarding the collectibility of all principal and interest due
under the terms of the loans. Amounts received on nonaccrual
loans generally are applied first to principal and then to
interest after all principal has been collected. It is the
policy of UnionBancorp not to renegotiate the terms of a loan
because of a delinquent status. Rather, a loan is generally
transferred to nonaccrual status if it is not in the process of
collection and is delinquent in payment of either principal or
interest beyond 90 days. Loans that are 90 days
delinquent but are well secured and in the process of collection
are not included in nonperforming assets. Other nonperforming
assets consist of real
110
estate acquired through loan foreclosures or other workout
situations and other assets acquired through repossessions.
The classification of a loan as nonaccrual does not necessarily
indicate that the principal is uncollectible, in whole or in
part. UnionBank makes a determination as to collectibility on a
case-by-case basis. UnionBank considers both the adequacy of the
collateral and the other resources of the borrower in
determining the steps to be taken to collect nonaccrual loans.
The final determination as to the steps taken is made based upon
the specific facts of each situation. Alternatives that are
typically considered to collect nonaccrual loans are
foreclosure, collection under guarantees, loan restructuring, or
judicial collection actions.
Each of UnionBancorps loans is assigned a rating based
upon an internally developed grading system. A separate credit
administration department also reviews grade assignments on an
ongoing basis. Management continuously monitors nonperforming,
impaired, and past due loans to prevent further deterioration of
these loans. UnionBancorp has an independent loan review
function which is separate from the lending function and is
responsible for the review of new and existing loans.
The following table summarizes nonperforming assets and loans
past due 90 days or more and still accruing for the
previous five quarters.

The level of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2006 decreased
to $2,806 versus the $4,004 that existed as of December 31,
2005 and from $3,835 at June 30, 2005. The level of
nonperforming loans to total end of period loans was 0.70% at
June 30, 2006, as compared to 0.96% at December 31,
2005 and 0.95% at June 30, 2005. The reserve coverage ratio
(allowance to nonperforming loans) was reported at 244.05% as of
June 30, 2006 as compared to 208.84% as of
December 31, 2005 and 238.83% as of June 30, 2005.
Other Potential Problem Loans. UnionBancorp has other
potential problem loans that are currently performing, but where
some concerns exist as to the ability of the borrower to comply
with present loan repayment terms. Excluding nonperforming loans
and loans that management has classified as impaired, these
other potential problem loans totaled $1,218 at June 30,
2006, as compared to $6,857 at June 30, 2005 and $2,879 at
December 31, 2005. The classification of these loans,
however, does not imply that management expects losses on each
of these loans, but believes that a higher level of scrutiny and
close monitoring is prudent under the circumstances. Such
classifications relate to specific concerns for each individual
borrower and do not relate to any concentration risk common to
all loans in this group.
Allowance for Loan Losses. At June 30, 2006, the
allowance for loan losses was $6,848 or 1.70% of total loans as
compared to $8,362 or 2.00% at December 31, 2005, and
$9,159 or 2.26% at June 30, 2005. The decrease in the
allowance was largely based on continued improvements in the
quality of the loan portfolio, favorable loan loss experience
and managements beliefs regarding the probability and
estimations of future losses inherent in the loan portfolio. In
originating loans, UnionBancorp recognizes that credit losses
will be experienced and the risk of loss will vary with, among
other things, general economic conditions; the type of loan
being made; the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term
of the loan; and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the
quality of the collateral for such a loan. The allowance for
loan losses represents UnionBancorps estimate of the
allowance necessary to provide for probable incurred losses in
the loan
111
portfolio. In making this determination, UnionBancorp analyzes
the ultimate collectibility of the loans in its portfolio,
incorporating feedback provided by internal loan staff, the
independent loan review function, and information provided by
examinations performed by regulatory agencies. UnionBancorp
makes an ongoing evaluation as to the adequacy of the allowance
for loan losses.
On a quarterly basis, management reviews the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses. Commercial credits are graded by the
loan officers and the Loan Review function validates the
officers grades. In the event that the loan review
function downgrades the loan, it is included in the allowance
analysis at the lower grade. The grading system is in compliance
with the regulatory classifications and the allowance is
allocated to the loans based on the regulatory grading, except
in instances where there are known differences (i.e., collateral
value is nominal, etc.). To establish the appropriate level of
the allowance, a sample of loans (including impaired and
nonperforming loans) are reviewed and classified as to potential
loss exposure.
Based on an estimation computed pursuant to the requirements of
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies,
and FASB Statements Nos. 114 and 118, Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, the analysis of the
allowance for loan losses consists of three components:
(i) specific credit allocation established for expected
losses resulting from analysis developed through specific credit
allocations on individual loans for which the recorded
investment in the loan exceeds its fair value; (ii) general
portfolio allocation based on historical loan loss experience
for each loan category; and (iii) subjective reserves based
on general economic conditions as well as specific economic
factors in the markets in which UnionBancorp operates.
The specific credit allocation component of the allowance for
loan losses is based on a regular analysis of loans over a
fixed-dollar amount where the internal credit rating is at or
below a predetermined classification. The fair value of the loan
is determined based on either the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loans effective
interest rate, the market price of the loan, or, if the loan is
collateral dependent, the fair value of the underlying
collateral less cost of sale.
The general portfolio allocation component of the allowance for
loan losses is determined statistically using a loss migration
analysis that examines historical loan loss experience. The loss
migration analysis is performed quarterly and loss factors are
updated regularly based on actual experience. The general
portfolio allocation element of the allowance for loan losses
also includes consideration of the amounts necessary for
concentrations and changes in portfolio mix and volume.
The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates, and
ultimate losses will vary from current estimates. These
estimates are reviewed monthly, and as adjustments, either
positive or negative, become necessary, a corresponding increase
or decrease is made in the provision for loan losses. The
composition of the loan portfolio has not significantly changed
since year-end 2004. The methodology used to determine the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is consistent with
prior years, and there were no reallocations.
Management remains watchful of credit quality issues. Should the
economic climate deteriorate from current levels, borrowers may
experience difficulty, and the level of nonperforming loans,
charge-offs and delinquencies could rise and require further
increases in the provision.
UnionBancorp manages its liquidity position with the objective
of maintaining sufficient funds to respond to the needs of
depositors and borrowers and to take advantage of earnings
enhancement opportunities. In addition to the normal inflow of
funds from core-deposit growth together with repayments and
maturities of loans and investments, UnionBancorp utilizes other
short-term funding sources such as brokered time deposits,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase, overnight
federal funds purchased from correspondent banks and the
acceptance of short-term deposits from public entities, and
Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
UnionBancorp monitors and manages its liquidity position on
several bases, which vary depending upon the time period. As the
time period is expanded, other data is factored in, including
estimated loan funding
112
requirements, estimated loan payoffs, investment portfolio
maturities or calls, and anticipated depository buildups or
runoffs.
UnionBancorp classifies all of its securities as
available-for-sale, thereby maintaining significant liquidity.
UnionBancorps liquidity position is further enhanced by
structuring its loan portfolio interest payments as monthly and
by the significant representation of retail credit and
residential mortgage loans in UnionBancorps loan
portfolio, resulting in a steady stream of loan repayments. In
managing its investment portfolio, UnionBancorp provides for
staggered maturities so that cash flows are provided as such
investments mature.
UnionBancorps cash flows are comprised of three
classifications: cash flows from operating activities, cash
flows from investing activities, and cash flows from financing
activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities and
investing activities offset by those used in financing
activities, resulted in a net increase in cash and cash
equivalents of $5,907 from December 31, 2005 to
June 30, 2006.
During the first six months of 2006, UnionBancorp experienced
net cash in flows of $3,931 in operating activities due to
negative provision and net income and $16,854 in investing
activities largely due to the decrease in net loans and
securities. In contrast, net cash outflow of $14,878 in
financing activities primarily due to a decrease in deposits and
borrowed funds.

Stockholders Equity. UnionBancorp is committed to
managing capital for maximum shareholder benefit and maintaining
strong protection for depositors and creditors.
Stockholders equity at June 30, 2006 was $65,304, a
decrease of $771 or 1.2%, from December 31, 2005. The
decrease in stockholders equity was the result of the
dividends paid to shareholders and a decrease in accumulated
other comprehensive income partially offset by net income for
the period. Average quarterly equity as a percentage of average
quarterly assets was 9.94% at June 30, 2006, compared to
10.39% at December 31, 2005. Book value per common share
equaled $17.31 at June 30, 2006 compared to $17.23 at
December 31, 2005.
113
Stock Repurchase. On May 2, 2003, the Board of
Directors approved a stock repurchase plan whereby UnionBancorp
may repurchase from time to time up to 5% of its outstanding
shares of common stock in the open market or in private
transactions over an 18 month period. On September 23,
2004, the Board of Directors extended UnionBancorps stock
repurchase program through May 2, 2006. On June 16,
2005, the Board of Directors amended the repurchase plan to
enable UnionBancorp to acquire an additional 5% of its
outstanding shares of common stock in the open market or in
private transactions. On March 16, 2006, the Board of
Directors approved an additional 5% stock repurchase program
that begins when the existing plan is completed. Under the
revised plan, UnionBancorp can repurchase approximately
188,000 shares of its outstanding shares of common stock.
Under the terms of the plan, UnionBancorp is able to repurchase,
from time to time, up to 5% of its outstanding shares of common
stock in the open market or in private transactions. Purchases
are dependent upon market conditions and the availability of
shares. The extension of the repurchase program enables
UnionBancorp to optimize its use of capital relative to other
investment alternatives and benefits both UnionBancorp and the
shareholders by enhancing earnings per share and return on
equity. During the quarter ending June 30, 2006, no shares
were repurchased and to date, UnionBancorp has repurchased
364,879 shares at a weighted average cost of $21.16.
Capital Measurements. UnionBancorp is expected to meet a
minimum risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8%,
of which at least one-half (or 4%) must be in the form of
Tier 1 (core) capital. The remaining one-half (or 4%)
may be in the form of Tier 1 (core) or Tier 2
(supplementary) capital. The amount of loan loss allowance
that may be included in capital is limited to 1.25% of
risk-weighted assets. The ratio of Tier 1 (core) and
the combined amount of Tier 1 (core) and Tier 2
(supplementary) capital to risk-weighted assets for
UnionBancorp was 12.4% and 13.7%, respectively, at June 30,
2006. UnionBancorp is currently, and expects to continue to be,
in compliance with these guidelines.

Impact of Inflation, Changing Prices, and Monetary
Policies |
The financial statements and related financial data concerning
UnionBancorp have been prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require
the measurement of financial position and operating results in
terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the
relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation.
The primary effect of inflation on the operations of
UnionBancorp is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike
most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and
liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature.
As a result, changes in interest rates have a more significant
effect on the performance of a financial institution than do the
effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and changes
in prices. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same
direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and
services. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors
which are beyond the control of Union, including the influence
of domestic and foreign economic conditions and the monetary and
fiscal policies of the United States government and federal
agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve Board.

Recent Regulatory and Accounting Developments |
In February, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155,
Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments An Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155).
SFAS 155 simplifies the accounting for certain hybrid
financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative that
otherwise would have required bifurcation. SFAS 155 also
eliminates the interim guidance in FASB Statement No. 133,
which provides that beneficial interest in securitized financial
assets are not subject to the provisions of FASB Statement
No. 133. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial
instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an
entitys first fiscal year that begins after
September 15, 2006, which for UnionBancorp will be as of
the beginning of fiscal 2007. UnionBancorp does not believe that
the adoption of SFAS 155 will have a significant effect on
its financial statements as UnionBancorp does not have any
hybrid financial instruments at this time.
In March, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156,
Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets
An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140
(SFAS 156). SFAS 156 requires that all
separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities
be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. The
statement permits, but does not require, the subsequent
measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at
fair value. SFAS 156 is effective as of the beginning of
the entitys first fiscal year that begins after
September 15, 2006. UnionBancorp is currently evaluating
any potential impact of the adoption of this SFAS.
In June, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
An interpretation of FASB No. 109
(FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The
Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. UnionBancorp is currently evaluating the
impact of the adoption of FIN 48, with respect to its
results of operations, financial position and liquidity.
Neither UnionBancorp nor UnionBank are involved in any pending
legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring
in the normal course of business, which, in the opinion of
management, in the aggregate, are not material to
UnionBancorps consolidated financial condition.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management
The following table sets forth certain information with respect

owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock, by each

officers as a group.
The following table is based on information supplied to
UnionBancorp by the directors, officers and stockholders

Exchange Commission. Shares of common stock subject to options

option holder for the purpose of computing the percentage
ownership of the option holder. However, these shares are not
treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the
percentage ownership of any other person. The table lists
applicable percentage ownership based on
[ ] shares
outstanding as of
[ ],
2006. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for each person
listed below is 122 W. Madison Street, Ottawa,

its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. These loans
and lines of credit were made in the ordinary course of business
on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time for transactions
with other persons and did not involve more than the normal risk
of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. During

BUSINESS OF CENTRUE FINANCIAL
General
Centrue Financial, a Delaware corporation, is a financial
holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956. At June 30, 2006, Centrue Financial had consolidated
assets of $634.5 million, deposits of $462.3 million
and stockholders equity of $43.3 million. Centrue
Financials primary business activity is acting as the
holding company for Centrue Bank, a state chartered commercial
bank. Beginning on February 25, 2005, Centrue
Financials common stock has been listed on the Nasdaq
National Market System under the symbol TRUE. Prior
to February 25, 2005, it was traded on the American Stock
Exchange under the symbol CFF. On October 9,
2003, Centrue Financial acquired Aviston Financial Corporation.
At the time of the acquisition, Aviston Financial had
approximately $96.5 million in total assets. Subsequent to
the acquisition, the remaining corporation changed its name to
Centrue Financial Corporation. On March 5, 2004, Centrue
Financial acquired Parish Bank and Trust Company in Momence
Illinois, a community bank with approximately $21 million
in total assets. On April 8, 2005, Centrue Financial
acquired Illinois Community Bancorp, Inc., a bank holding
company in Effingham, Illinois with approximately
$30 million in total assets. Centrue Financial also opened
a new branch in the growing Fairview Heights market in May 2005
and has announced plans to continue to open additional branches
in and near its current markets over the next few years. In
March 2006, Centrue Financial relocated its headquarters to
Fairview Heights, Illinois.
Centrue Bank was initially chartered as an Illinois state
savings and loan association in 1885. Centrue Bank converted to
a federally chartered savings and loan association in 1937 and
changed its name to Kankakee Federal Savings Bank in connection
with its conversion to stock form in 1992. Centrue Bank changed
its name to KFS Bank, F.S.B., as of December 1, 2002. Upon
the acquisition of Aviston Financial in October 2003, Centrue
Bank merged into the State Bank of Aviston, became a state
chartered commercial bank and changed its name to Centrue Bank.
Centrue Bank has one subsidiary, Centrue Service Corp., and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Centrue Insurance Agency, Inc., which
engage in the business of providing securities brokerage
services and insurance and annuity products to its customers. It
is anticipated that
120
Centrue Service Corp. and Centrue Insurance Agency, Inc. will be
dissolved in connection with the merger of Centrue Bank and
UnionBank.
Centrue Financials focus is to serve residential and small
businesses from south suburban Chicago, Illinois, to
metropolitan St. Louis, Missouri with a wide array of
financial services. Centrue Financial is principally engaged in
originating commercial business, commercial real estate,
mortgage, consumer, multi-family, and construction loans, and
attracting deposits from the general public. Centrue Financial
also offers debit card services, on-line banking and bill
payment services and, on an agency basis through Centrue Service
Corp. and a relationship with a third party, securities
brokerage services and insurance and annuity products to Centrue
Financials customers.
Since 2003, Centrue Financial has recruited new management,
strengthened its policies and procedures and worked to clean up
inherited asset quality issues. In addition to the Aviston,
Parish and Illinois Community Bank transactions, Centrue
Financial has opened new branches in Bradley, Dwight and
Fairview Heights, Illinois as well as a loan production office
in Plainfield, Illinois to broaden its geographic presence.
Centrue Financial has recruited experienced bankers to generate
new business and add depth to the management team. Management
continues to emphasize providing excellent customer service
while striving to meet its growth objectives and profitability
goals. Centrue Financial is organized into four geographic
regions, each led by its own regional president and management
team. Each regional president has responsibility for staffing,
loans, deposits and pricing in his or her respective region.
Also, certain operational and decision making activities have
been transferred to the regional level in order to improve
efficiency, competitiveness and overall customer service.
Centralized operations, including accounting, remain at Centrue
Financials former headquarters in Kankakee. Management
believes this organizational structure has allowed Centrue
Financial to maintain its community focus, and improve customer
service and efficiency, while growing Centrue Financials
asset base.
Centrue Financials executive offices are located at 303
Fountains Parkway, Fairview Heights, Illinois 62208 and its
telephone number at that address is (618) 624-1323.

Managements Discussion and Analysis
|
|
|
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 |
Centrue Financial is the holding company for Centrue Bank. All
references to Centrue Financial in the following discussion
include Centrue Bank and Centrue Banks wholly-owned
service corporation, Centrue Service Corporation
(CSC), unless indicated otherwise. In October 2003,
Kankakee Bancorp, Inc. merged with Aviston Financial Corporation
and subsequent to the merger, the remaining corporation changed
its name to Centrue Financial Corporation. At the time of the
merger, Aviston Financial had approximately $96.5 million
in total assets. The subsidiary banks were merged to
form Centrue Bank, a state-chartered commercial bank. On
March 5, 2004, Centrue Financial acquired Parish Bank and
Trust Co. located in Momence, Illinois. At the time of the
acquisition, Parish had approximately $21 million in total
assets. On April 8, 2005, Centrue Financial acquired
Illinois Community Bancorp, Inc., located in Effingham,
Illinois. At the time of the acquisition, Illinois Community had
approximately $29.9 million in total assets. Centrue
Financial also opened a new branch in the growing Fairview
Heights market in May 2005 and has announced plans to open
additional branches in the St. Louis Metro East area over
the next few years.
Centrue Financial completed its second full year as Centrue
Financial in 2005. Since the 2003 merger, a new experienced
management team has been assembled by Thomas A. Daiber, who
joined Centrue Financial as CEO during the merger. Virtually
every senior officer position has been filled with a new
executive. During 2005, Centrue Financial made significant
progress in cleaning up the asset quality issues it inherited in
2003 and has reduced nonperforming loans by 66% from its peak in
June 2004. Through the addition of a Chief Credit Officer and
implementation of sound lending policies and practices, Centrue
Financials asset quality has continued to improve.
Following the expected liquidation of two large nonperforming
assets in 2006, management expects Centrue Financials
asset quality measurements to be at peer group levels.
While operating as one significant business unit, Centrue
Financial has a regional president for each of its four
operating regions that has responsibility for managing the daily
activity within each respective market. Management believes that
customer service is enhanced through its practice of empowering
its employees to make decisions while serving the customer.
Centrue Financial continues to work to improve its operational
efficiency and profitability while continuing to implement its
previously announced strategy to expand within its markets and
surrounding communities. During 2005, Centrue Financial entered
two new markets and significantly expanded its presence in a
third. As a result, the staffing level of Centrue Financial
increased by thirty four full time equivalents during the year
primarily due to the addition of the staff at the acquired
Effingham location and due to staffing of the new Fairview
Heights branch as well as the new loan production office in
Plainfield. We also added management depth during 2005 with the
addition of an experienced Chief Operating Officer and new
managers for the mortgage, consumer lending, operations and
compliance departments.
Net income decreased 11.7% to $4.1 million in 2005 compared
to record income of $4.6 million in 2004. The results for
2005 included costs associated with a data processing
conversion, expenses related to stock options, the opening of
the new Fairview Heights branch, the acquisition and integration
of Illinois Community Bank in Effingham and other merger and
acquisition activity. Assets grew 4.8% from $611.9 million
at the end of 2004 to $641.5 million at the end of 2005.
Centrue Financial has had an aggressive capital management plan
over the last four years. As part of this strategy, Centrue
Financial made open market purchases of its own stock totaling
1,045,335 common shares of stock at a total cost of
$23.8 million. Centrue Financial repurchased 167,224 common
shares at a total cost of $3.2 million ($19.15 per
share) in 2002, 466,540 shares of stock at a total cost of
$9.3 million ($19.95 per share) in 2003,
232,706 shares of stock at a total cost of
$6.5 million ($27.99 per share) in 2004 and an
additional 178,865 shares of stock at a total cost of
$4.8 million ($26.93 per share) in 2005. Centrue
Financial
123
executed a 2 for 1 stock split in the form of a dividend during
October of 2003. All references in this discussion to the prices
and number of shares have been adjusted for this split. In
addition, Centrue Financial is continuously evaluating balance
sheet opportunities to augment and leverage its capital base to
maximize stockholders return on equity. Centrue Financial
will continue to evaluate opportunities in 2006 in an effort to
enhance earnings.
Centrue Financials results of operations are dependent
primarily on net interest income, which is the difference, or
spread, between the interest income earned on its
loans and investments and its cost of funds, consisting of
interest paid on its deposits and on borrowed funds. Centrue
Financials operating expenses principally consist of
employee compensation and benefits, occupancy, marketing and
other general and administrative expenses. Centrue
Financials results of operations are also significantly
affected by general economic and competitive conditions,
particularly changes in market interest rates, government
policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
Centrue Financials mission is to be the premier bank
serving the communities between Chicago, Illinois and
St. Louis, Missouri with a return on equity within the
upper quartile of our peer group. Our regional banking
philosophy is to support and empower our employees to provide
superior customer service.
In seeking to accomplish this mission, management has adopted a
business strategy designed to accomplish a number of goals,
including:
|
|
|
|
|
increase return on equity and increase stockholders value; |
|
|
|
maintain Centrue Banks capital at a level that exceeds
regulatory requirements; |
|
|
|
attain a high level of asset quality; |
|
|
|
manage Centrue Financials exposure to changes in market
interest rates; |
|
|
|
maximize Centrue Financials net interest margin; and |
|
|
|
to the extent available, take advantage of loan and deposit
growth opportunities in Centrue Financials principal
market areas. |
Centrue Financial has attempted to achieve these goals by
focusing on a number of areas, including:
|
|
|
|
|
management of Centrue Financials capital to enhance
stockholders value; |
|
|

Critical Accounting Policies |
In the ordinary course of business, Centrue Financial has made a
number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of
results of operations and financial condition in preparing its
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual
results could differ significantly from those estimates under
different assumptions and conditions. Centrue Financial believes
the following discussion, including the allowance for loan
losses, goodwill, real estate held for sale, mortgage servicing
rights and deferred taxes, addresses Centrue Financials
most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most
important to the portrayal of Centrue Financials financial
condition and results and require managements most
difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result
of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that
are inherently uncertain.
Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for
loan losses is a material estimate that is particularly
susceptible to significant changes in the near term and is
established through a provision for loan losses. The allowance
is based upon past loan experience and other factors which, in
managements judgment, deserve current recognition in
estimating loan losses. The evaluation includes a review of all
loans on which full collectibility may not be reasonably
assured. Other factors considered by management include the size
and character of the loan portfolio, concentrations of loans to
specific borrowers or industries, existing economic conditions
and historical losses on each portfolio category. In connection
with the determination of the allowance for loan losses,
management obtains independent appraisals for significant
properties, which collateralize loans. Management believes it
uses the best information available to make such determinations.
If circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used
in making determinations, future adjustments to the allowance
for loan losses may be necessary and results of operations could
be affected. While Centrue Financial believes it has established
its existing allowance for loan loses in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing
Centrue Banks loan portfolio, will not request an increase
in the allowance for loan losses. Because future events
affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with
certainty, there can be no assurance that increases to the
allowance will be necessary if loan quality deteriorates.
Goodwill Costs in excess of the estimated
fair value of identified net assets acquired through purchase
transactions are recorded as an asset by Centrue Financial. This
amount was originally amortized into expense on a straight-line
basis assuming a life of twenty years. Effective January 1,
2002, Centrue Financial ceased amortization in accordance with
newly adopted accounting standards generally accepted in the
United States of America. Centrue Financial performed an initial
impairment assessment as of January 1, 2002 and annual
impairment assessments as of September 30. No impairment of
goodwill was identified as a result of these tests. In making
these impairment assessments, management must make subjective
assumptions regarding the fair value of Centrue Financials
assets and liabilities. It is possible that these judgments may
change over time as market conditions or Company strategies
change, and these changes may cause Centrue Financial to record
impairment charges to adjust the goodwill to its estimated fair
value.
Real Estate Held for Sale Real estate held
for sale is recorded at the propertys fair value less
estimated cost to sell at the date of foreclosure (cost).
Initial valuation adjustments, if any, are charged against the
allowance for loan losses. Property is evaluated to ensure the
recorded amount is supported by its current fair value.
Subsequent declines in estimated fair value are charged to
expense when incurred.
Mortgage Servicing Rights Centrue Financial
recognizes as a separate asset the rights to service mortgage
loans for others. The value of mortgage servicing rights is
amortized in relation to the servicing revenue expected to be
earned. Mortgage servicing rights are periodically evaluated for
impairment based
125
upon the fair value of those rights. Estimating the fair value
of the mortgage servicing rights involves judgment, particularly
of estimated prepayments speeds of the underlying mortgages
serviced. Net income could be affected if managements
assumptions and estimates differ from actual prepayments.
Deferred Income Taxes Deferred income tax
assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the
financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that
will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based
on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which
the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred
tax assets are also recognized for operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount expected to
be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable
for the period plus or minus the change during the period in
deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of
all Centrue Financials accounting policies. In many cases,
the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is
specifically dictated by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, with no need for
managements judgment in their application. There are also
areas in which managements judgment in selecting any
available alternative would not produce a materially different
result.
During 2005, interest rates continued to rise at a rapid pace.
For the second straight year, the Federal Open Market Committee
(the FOMC) increased the federal funds target
200 basis points from 2.25% at the beginning of the year,
up to 4.25% at the end of the year. Additionally, the Wall
Street Journal prime rate increased from 5.25% to 7.25% by the
end of 2005. In January 2006, the FOMC increased the federal
funds rate an additional 25 basis points, which in turn
caused a 25 basis point increase in the prime rate. The
federal funds rate is the rate at which financial institutions
borrow from each other, while the prime rate is one of the rates
at which banks lend money to their customers. Of Centrue
Financials commercial loans at December 31, 2005,
approximately 36.9% are tied to the prime rate and immediately
reprice. The increase in rates should continue to have a
positive impact on Centrue Banks ability to generate
interest income on commercial loans, however, the increase in
rates also places pressure on interest bearing liabilities. At
the beginning of 2006, the slope of the U.S. Treasury yield
curve has flattened and is slightly inverted. Centrue Financial
expects to continue to see net interest margin pressure due to
the fact that long-term rates have remained largely unchanged
while short-term rates have increased 200 basis points
during 2005.
Centrue Financials results of operations depend primarily
on the level of its net interest and non-interest income and its
control of operating expenses. Net interest income depends upon
the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities and the interest rate earned from or paid on them.

Net Interest Income Analysis. The following table
presents for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of
interest income from average interest-earning assets and
resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average
interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and
rates. All average balances are monthly average balances.
Non-accruing loans have been included in the table as loans
carrying a zero yield.

The following schedule presents the dollar amount of changes in
interest income and interest expense for major components of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It
distinguishes between the increase related to higher outstanding
balances and that due to the levels of interest rates. For each
category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to:
(i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied
by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in
rate multiplied by old volume).
For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate
and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated
proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due
to rate.

Comparison of Operating Results for 2005 to 2004 |
General. Net income was $4.1 million, or
$1.73 per share (diluted), for the year ended
December 31, 2005 compared to $4.6 million, or
$1.85 per share (diluted), for the year ended
December 31, 2004. The 11.7% decrease in net income
occurred primarily due to an increase in noninterest expenses of
$2.9 million, partially offset by increases in net interest
income of $285,000, noninterest income of $1.2 million, as
well as decreases in the provision for loan losses of $549,000
and income tax expense of $337,000. The results for 2005
included costs associated with a data processing conversion,
expenses related to stock options, the opening of the new
Fairview Heights branch, the acquisition and integration of
Illinois Community Bank in Effingham and other merger and
acquisition activity.
Net Interest Income. Tax equivalent net interest income
was $19.4 million for the year ended December 31,
2005, an increase of $346,000, or 1.5%, compared to 2004. Tax
equivalent net interest income increased primarily due to an
increase in interest income of $2.8 million or 9.2%,
partially offset by an increase in interest expense of
$2.4 million or 22.7%. The increase in interest income
resulted from an increase in the average balance of
interest-earning assets of $12.0 million as well as an
increase of 37 basis points in the average rate of interest
on interest earning assets. The increase in interest expense
resulted primarily from an increase in the average rate of
interest on interest-bearing liabilities of 41 basis
points, as well as an increase in the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities of $13.1 million. During 2005
the FOMC increased interest rates by 200 basis points. This
increase raised short-term interest rates as well as the prime
rate which was the primary driving force in the increase in the
rates for both the interest earning assets and the interest
bearing liabilities.
128
Interest Income. Tax equivalent interest income totaled
$32.5 million for 2005, an increase of $2.8 million or
9.3%, as compared to $29.7 million for 2004. This resulted
from a $12.0 million increase in average interest-earning
assets from $557.7 million during 2004 to
$569.7 million during 2005, as well as an increase in the
yield earned on interest-earning assets from 5.33% during 2004
to 5.70% during 2005.
Tax equivalent interest on loans was $26.9 million for
2005, an increase of $1.9 million, or 7.6%, as compared to
2004. This was primarily attributable to an increase in the
yield on loans from 5.76% during 2004 to 6.18% during 2005, as
well as an increase of $961,000 in average outstanding loans.
The increase in yields on loans resulted from an increase in
overall interest rates, including the prime rate which resulted
in loans repricing to higher interest rates during 2005.
Tax equivalent interest earned on investment securities and
other interest-earning assets and dividends on Federal Home
Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB) stock totaled
$5.6 million for 2005, compared to $4.8 million for
2004. This represented an increase of 18.0% during 2005. The
increase was primarily due to a rise in average yield on these
assets from 3.83% in 2004 to 4.15% in 2005, as well as an
increase in the average balance of these assets from
$124.3 million in 2004 to $135.4 million in 2005. The
overall increase in average yields was primarily due to variable
rate securities repricing due to increases in overall interest
rates.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $13.1 million
for 2005, $2.4 million or 22.7% more than in 2004. This was
due to an increase in average rates to 2.50% for 2005 from 2.09%
for 2004, as well as an increase of $13.1 million in the
average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to
$521.8 million for 2005 compared to $508.7 million for
2004.
During 2005, average interest bearing deposits decreased by
$2.8 million, to $442.0 million for 2005, compared to
$444.8 million for 2004. The rate paid on interest bearing
deposits increased 38 basis points to 2.14% from 1.76%. The
increase in the average cost of deposits was due to the higher
interest rate environment, partially offset by a continued focus
by Centrue Financial to shift to lower yielding deposits.
Certificate of deposit accounts decreased $7.6 million from
2004 to 2005 and the ratio of certificate of deposit accounts to
total interest bearing deposits decreased from 58.8% in 2004 to
57.4% in 2005. The decrease in average balances was primarily
due to the focus by Centrue Financial to reduce higher yielding
deposits, partially offset by balances acquired in the Illinois
Community acquisition that occurred in April of 2005.
Interest expense on borrowings was $3.6 million for 2005,
$757,000 or 26.6% more than in 2004. The increase in interest
expense on borrowings was primarily due to an increase in
average balances of $15.8 million from $64.0 million
in 2004 to $79.8 million in 2005, as well as an increase in
the average rate of 7 basis points from 4.44% in 2004 to
4.51% in 2005. The increase in the average balance was primarily
due to an increase in the average balance of customer repurchase
agreements of $9.8 million.
Provision for Loan Losses. Centrue Financial recorded a
$651,000 provision for loan losses during 2005 compared to a
$1.2 million provision during 2004. Charge-offs during 2005
decreased to $2.7 million from $3.6 million during
2004. Recoveries during 2005 increased to $822,000 from $295,000
in 2004. The ratio of net charge-offs to average outstanding
loans dropped to 0.44% in 2005 from 0.77% in 2004. The decrease
in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to a decrease
in nonperforming loans as well as lower net charge-offs. The new
management team has worked diligently over the past two years to
reduce the level of nonperforming loans. This effort has
resulted in the reduction of net charge offs and nonperforming
loans in 2005. Management has implemented a new asset quality
program in an effort to ensure that Centrue Financial is
adequately reserved for loan losses. In line with the
improvements garnered as a result of the asset quality program,
it was determined that Centrue Financial could lower the
provision for loan losses for 2005.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed
adequate by management to absorb probable losses in the loan
portfolio. Managements methodology to determine the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses considers specific
credit reviews, past loan loss experience, current economic
conditions and trends, and the volume, growth and composition of
the loan portfolio. Based upon Centrue Financials
quarterly analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses, considering remaining collateral of loans with more than
a normal degree of risk, historical loan loss percentages and
economic conditions, it is managements belief that the
$4.5 million allowance for loan losses at December 31,
2005 was adequate.
129
However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for loan
losses will be adequate to cover all future losses.
Each credit on Centrue Financials internal loan
watch list is evaluated periodically to estimate
potential losses. In addition, minimum loss estimates for each
category of watch list credits are provided for based on
managements judgment which considers past loan loss
experience and other factors. For installment and real estate
mortgage loans, specific allocations are based on past loss
experience adjusted for recent portfolio growth and economic
trends. The total of the estimated loss exposure resulting from
the analysis is considered the allocated portion of the
allowance for loan losses. The amounts specifically provided for
individual loans and pools of loans are supplemented by an
unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses. This
unallocated amount is determined based on managements
judgment which considers, among other things, the risk of error
in the specific allocations, other potential exposure in the
loan portfolio, economic conditions and trends, and other
factors. Further information is included in the asset quality
section of this disclosure.
The allowance for loan losses is charged when management
determines that the prospects of recovery of the principal of a
loan have significantly diminished. Subsequent recoveries, if
any, are credited to the allowance for loan losses. All
installment loans that are 90 to 120 days past due are
charged off monthly unless the loans are insured for credit loss
or where scheduled payments are being received. Real estate
mortgage loans are written down to fair value upon foreclosure.
Commercial and other loan charge-offs are made based on
managements on-going evaluation of non-performing loans.

The Company will continue to report and monitor the adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses based on managements
analysis of its loan portfolio and general economic conditions.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased
$1.2 million for 2005 to $7.2 million, compared to
$6.0 million for 2004. The 20.3% increase in noninterest
income was the result of an increase of $1.5 million in fee
income, offset by decreases of $283,000 in gain on sales of
loans and a $127,000 decrease in gain on sale of real estate
held for sale. The increase in fee income during 2005 was the
result of the implementation of a new overdraft protection
program that began in June of 2004. The decrease in the gain on
sale of loans was primarily due to a lower volume of loan
originations during 2005, including loans that the Company sold
during 2004 in order to reduce interest rate risk in the
mortgage loan portfolio. Additionally, the 2004 results included
a gain on the sale of the credit card portfolio of $127,000. The
gain on sale of loans for 2005 was primarily generated from new
mortgage loan originations.
Noninterest Expenses. Noninterest expenses were
$20.0 million for 2005, as compared to $17.1 million
for 2004. This represented an increase of $2.9 million or
17.1%. The increase in noninterest expenses primarily resulted
from increases in compensation and benefits of
$1.9 million, occupancy expenses of $203,000, furniture and
equipment of $381,000, legal and professional fees of $184,000
and other expenses of $268,000.
130
The acquisition of Illinois Community contributed increases of
$411,000 in compensation and benefits, $93,000 in occupancy
expense, $73,000 in furniture and equipment expense and $231,000
in other expense. The remaining $1.5 million increase in
compensation and benefits was primarily due to the addition of
key personnel, the addition of personnel upon the opening of the
Fairview Heights location, as well as merit increases from 2004
to 2005. The remaining $110,000 increase in occupancy expense
was primarily due to the opening of the Fairview Heights,
Illinois office. The remaining $308,000 increase in furniture
and equipment was primarily due to the write-down of $420,000 of
fixed assets and prepaid expenses related to the Companys
former data processing system which became obsolete after the
conversion to Jack Henry and Associates Silverlake system
in June of 2005, partially offset by reduced furniture and
equipment expenses for the remaining portion of the year. Legal
and professional fees increased primarily due to the
Companys merger and acquisition activity.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $1.5 million
for 2005, as compared to $1.8 million for 2004. The
Companys effective tax rate was 26.7% for 2005 and 28.3%
for 2004. These decreases were the result of the decrease in
pre-tax income, as well as an increase in non-taxable income
resulting from an increase in municipal investment income. A
summary of the significant tax components is provided in
Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included with the historical financial statements of Centrue
Financial beginning on page F-46.

Comparison of Operating Results for 2004 to 2003 |
General. Net income was $4.6 million, or
$1.85 per share (diluted), for 2004 compared to
$1.0 million, or $0.49 per share (diluted), for 2003.
The 346.9% increase in net income occurred primarily due to an
increase in net interest income of $3.3 million, a decrease
of $2.9 million in provision for loan losses, and an
increase in noninterest income of $301,000 offset by an increase
in noninterest expenses of $1.2 million, as well as an
increase in income taxes of $1.7 million.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income was
$18.7 million for 2004, an increase of $3.3 million,
or 21.1%, during 2004 compared to 2003. Net interest income
increased primarily due to an increase in interest income of
$1.9 million or 7.0% as well as a decrease in interest
expense of $1.3 million or 11.2%. The increase in interest
income resulted from an increase in the average balance of
interest-earning assets of $64.1 million, partially offset
by a decrease of 26 basis points in the average rate of
interest on interest earning assets. The decrease in interest
expense resulted primarily from the decrease in the average rate
of interest on interest-bearing liabilities of 48 basis
points, which was partially offset by an increase in the average
balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $41.5 million.
During 2004, the interest rate environment shifted higher
beginning at the end of the second quarter of the year and
continued higher throughout the end of 2004. This increase
raised short-term interest rates as well as the prime rate and
had a positive effect on net interest income during the second
half of 2004.
Interest Income. Tax equivalent interest income totaled
$29.7 million for 2004, an increase of $2.1 million or
7.7%, as compared to $27.6 million for 2003. This resulted
from a $64.1 million increase in average interest-earning
assets from $493.6 million during 2003 to
$557.7 million during 2004, partially offset by a decrease
in the yield earned on interest-earning assets from 5.59% during
2003 to 5.33% during 2004.
Tax equivalent interest on loans was $25.0 million for
2004, an increase of $1.5 million, or 6.1%, as compared to
2003. This was primarily attributable to an increase of
$67.1 million in average outstanding loans as well as a
decrease in the yield on loans from 6.42% during 2003 to 5.76%
during 2004. The decrease in yields on loans resulted from loans
repricing to lower interest rates during 2003 and early 2004.
Tax equivalent interest earned on investment securities and
other interest-earning assets and dividends on FHLB stock
totaled $4.8 million for 2004, compared to
$4.1 million for 2003. This represented an increase of
17.2% during 2004. This was primarily due to an increase in
average yield on these assets from 3.19% in 2003 to 3.83% in
2004, which was partially offset by a decrease in the average
balance of these assets from $127.3 million in 2003 to
$124.3 million in 2004. The overall increase in average
yields was primarily due to Centrue Financial shifting lower
yielding federal funds sold to higher yielding investment
securities.
131
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $10.7 million
for 2004, $1.3 million or 11.2% less than in 2003. This was
due to a decrease in average rates to 2.09% for 2004 from 2.57%
for 2003, which was partially offset by an increase of
$41.5 million in the average balance of interest-bearing
liabilities to $508.7 million for 2004 compared to
$467.2 million for 2003.
During 2004, average interest bearing deposits increased by
$39.7 million, to $444.8 million for 2004, compared to
$405.1 million for 2003. The rate paid on interest bearing
deposits decreased 52 basis points to 1.76% from 2.28%. The
decrease in the average cost of deposits was due to the lower
interest rate environment as well as a continued focus by
Centrue Financial to shift to lower yielding deposits. The
increase in average balances was primarily due to the Aviston
Financial merger that occurred in October of 2003 and the Parish
acquisition that occurred in March of 2004.
During both 2004 and 2003, $2.8 million of Centrue
Financials interest expense related to borrowings. While
interest expense on borrowed funds remained constant, the
average balance of borrowed funds increased$1.9 million
from $62.1 million in 2003 to $64.0 million in 2004.
The increase in the average balance was partially offset by a
decrease of four basis points in the average interest rate on
borrowed funds to 4.44% in 2004 from 4.48% in 2003.
Provision for Loan Losses. Centrue Financial recorded a
$1.2 million provision for loan losses during 2004 compared
to a $4.1 million provision during 2003. Charge-offs during
2004 decreased to $3.6 million from $6.2 million
during 2003. Recoveries during 2004 decreased to $295,000 from
$632,000 in 2003. The ratio of net charge-offs to average
outstanding loans was 0.77% in 2004 and 1.53% in 2003. The
decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to
the higher amount of net charge-offs taken during 2003 compared
to 2004. The majority of the charge-offs taken in 2004 had
previously been reserved for during 2003 and prior years.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $301,000
for 2004 to $6.0 million, compared to $5.7 million for
2003. The 5.3% increase in noninterest income was the result of
an increase of $1.5 million in fee income, offset by
decreases of $385,000 in gain on sales of loans, $478,000 in
gain on sale of branch, and a $247,000 decrease in other income.
The increase in fee income during 2004 was the result of an
overall restructuring of fees to be more competitive with other
local banks as well as the implementation of a new overdraft
protection program that began in June of 2004. The decrease in
the gain on sale of loans was primarily due to the large amount
of mortgage refinancing that took place in 2003 as a result of
the low interest rate environment. The gain on sale of loans for
2004 was primarily generated from new mortgage loan
originations. The gain on sale of branch in 2003 was due to
Centrue Financial selling a branch in Hoopeston, Illinois. The
decrease in other income was due to several immaterial changes.
Noninterest Expenses. Noninterest expenses were
$17.1 million for 2004, as compared to $15.9 million
for 2003. This represented an increase of $1.2 million or
7.4%. The increase in noninterest expenses primarily resulted
from increases in compensation and benefits of $645,000,
furniture and equipment of $425,000, and other expenses of
$201,000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in
legal and professional fees of $224,000. The increases in
compensation and benefits, furniture and equipment, and other
expenses were primarily due to additional personnel and
locations resulting from the Aviston Financial merger which
occurred in October 2003. Legal and professional fees decreased
due to legal costs incurred in 2003 relating to Centrue
Financials name change and fees relating to merger and
acquisition activity which were not allowed to be capitalized.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $1.8 million
for 2004, as compared to $106,000 for 2003. Centrue
Financials effective tax rate was 28.3% for 2004 and 9.3%
for 2003. These increases were the result of the increase in
pre-tax income, partially offset by an increase in non-taxable
income resulting from an increase in municipal investment income
as well as the reduction in the valuation allowance for deferred
taxes. The valuation allowance for deferred taxes was reduced
due to the Companies belief that net operating losses for state
income taxes will be realized prior to their expiration date.
Financial Condition. Total assets increased by
$29.6 million or 4.8% to $641.5 million at
December 31, 2005, from $611.9 million at
December 31, 2004. The increase in total assets was due
primarily to the
132
acquisition of Illinois Community Bank with specific increases
in cash and cash equivalents of $5.0 million, net loans of
$9.6 million, loans held for sale of $8.0 million,
office properties and equipment of $4.3 million and,
goodwill of $2.0 million, offset by a decrease in real
estate held for sale of $1.3 million.
General. The principal lending activity of Centrue
Financial is to offer financial services to our commercial,
consumer and residential customers located in our primary market
areas. These financial services include 1-4 family residential,
multi-family, commercial business, commercial real estate,
consumer loans and all types of construction loans. In addition,
to increase overall profitability and to diversify our
portfolio, we continue to focus our loan growth rate on
commercial and commercial real estate lending which will move us
to be more in line with our commercial banking peers. From time
to time, Centrue Financial has also utilized loan purchases to
supplement loan originations.
Net loans increased by $9.5 million or 2.3% to
$428.5 million at December 31, 2005 from
$419.0 million at December 31, 2004. Loans held for
sale increased to $8.4 million at December 31, 2005
from $416,000 at December 31, 2004. The increase in net
loans and loans held for sale was primarily attributable to the
acquisition of Illinois Community as well as new loan
originations, partially offset by paydowns on previously
existing loans. During the last few years, Centrue Financial has
re-focused its loan efforts on the commercial portfolio and as a
result experienced a high volume of commercial related loan
originations. Centrue Financial expects to continue to focus on
increasing the commercial and commercial real estate loan
portfolio during 2006.
Loan Composition. The following table provides
information concerning the composition of Centrue
Financials loan portfolio in dollar amounts and in
percentages (before deductions for deferred fees and discounts
and allowances for loan losses) as of the dates indicated. Loans
held for sale are included in
one-to-four family real
estate loans.

Office properties and equipment increased $4.3 million to
$22.6 million at December 31, 2005 compared to
$18.3 million at December 31, 2004. The increase was
primarily attributable to the acquisition of Illinois Community
as well as the completion of construction of a new branch office
in Fairview Heights, Illinois, and various equipment upgrades.
Goodwill increased $2.0 million to $14.4 million at
December 31, 2005 compared to $12.4 million at
December 31, 2004. The increase in goodwill was a result of
the purchase of Illinois Community and represented the full
amount of goodwill created in the transaction. Accounting for
goodwill and the measurement of impairment is discussed in more
detail in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included beginning on page F-46.
Real estate held for sale decreased $1.3 million to
$1.7 million at December 31, 2005 compared to
$3.0 million at December 31, 2004. The decrease in
real estate held for sale was primarily attributable to the sale
of a portion of Centrue Financials largest real estate
owned property. Additionally, the amount of loans transferred to
real estate held for sale decreased from $3.3 million in
2004 to $1.2 million in 2005.
Deposits increased by $12.1 million or 2.4% to
$507.9 million at December 31, 2005, from
$495.8 million at December 31, 2004. During 2004,
Centrue Financial also began a sweep repurchase program which
totaled $8.6 million at the end of 2004 and increased to
$16.3 million at the end of 2005. While not considered
deposits, the sweep repurchase program allows business customers
to sweep their funds to interest bearing accounts while
maintaining collateralized balances. The balances for the sweep
repurchase program are included in short-term borrowings. During
2004 and 2005, Centrue Financial attempted to reduce higher rate
134
interest-bearing liabilities in the face of intense competition
in the various markets in which Centrue Financial operates and
was able to increase checking and sweep accounts and decrease
certificate of deposit accounts. In 2006, Centrue Financial will
continue to look for ways to reduce its overall cost of funds,
including pursuing lower rate deposits.
The following table sets forth the composition of deposits and
the percentage of each category to total deposits for the
periods presented.

Centrue Financial utilizes borrowings primarily for three
purposes. The first is to leverage Centrue Financials
capital in order to generate additional net interest income. The
second is the management of short term cash requirements. The
third is to assist in funding acquisitions of other financial
institutions. The decision to borrow money to leverage capital
is based on several factors, including the current
asset/liability mix, the regulatory capital position of Centrue
Bank and the adequacy of available interest rate spreads subject
to the limits established by Centrue Financial. Borrowings for
leveraging purposes are derived from securities sold under
agreements to repurchase and advances from the FHLB. Borrowings
related to short term cash management are in the form of
advances from the FHLB, customer repurchase agreements, and as
required, federal funds purchased. As a member of the FHLB,
Centrue Bank is authorized to apply for advances from the FHLB.
Each FHLB credit program has its own interest rate, which may be
fixed or variable, and range of maturities. The FHLB may
prescribe the acceptable uses for these advances, as well as
limitations on the size of the advances and repayment
provisions. Borrowings related to funding acquisitions are in
the form of notes payable from other financial institutions.
Generally, these borrowings are short-term in nature.
Short-term borrowings increased $12.8 million from
$14.2 million in 2004 to $27.0 million in 2005.
Short-term borrowings consist of overnight advances from the
FHLB, customer sweep repurchase agreements, and federal funds
purchased. The increase was due to an increase of
$7.8 million of customer repurchase agreements and an
increase in short-term FHLB borrowings of $10.7 million,
partially offset by a $3.5 million decrease of federal
funds purchased.
Long-term borrowings increased $3.2 million from
$55.5 million in 2004 to $58.7 million in 2005.
Long-term borrowings
consist of advances from the FHLB, notes payable, funds from
securities sold under agreements to repurchase and junior
subordinated debt owed to unconsolidated trusts (trust preferred
securities). The increase in long-term borrowings was primarily
due to an increase in borrowings from the FHLB of
$12.6 million, partially offset by securities sold under
agreements to repurchase which decreased $9.2 million.
Stockholders equity on a per share basis increased by 4.7%
from $18.19 at December 31, 2004, to $19.05 at
December 31, 2005. Total stockholders equity
decreased by $203,000 or 0.5% to $43.1 million at
December 31, 2005. The decrease in stockholders
equity was due mainly to common stock repurchases and a decrease
in unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities. During
2005, Centrue Financial repurchased 178,865 shares of
common stock at a total cost of approximately $4.8 million.

Centrue Financials asset quality management program,
particularly with regard to loans, is designed to analyze
potential risk elements and to support the growth of a
profitable and high quality loan portfolio. The existing loan
portfolio is monitored in a number of ways, including through
Centrue Financials loan rating system. The loan rating
system is also used to determine the adequacy of the allowance
for loan losses. Centrue Financials loan analysis process
proactively identifies, monitors and works with borrowers for
whom there are indications of future repayment difficulties.
Centrue Financials lending philosophy is to invest in
loans in the communities served by its banking offices so it can
effectively monitor and control risk. The majority of the loan
portfolio is comprised of retail loans and loans to
small-to-midsize
businesses. The loan portfolio does not include any loans to
foreign countries.
Non-performing assets include foreclosed assets, loans that have
been placed on non-accrual status, loans 90 days or more
past due that continue to accrue interest and restructured
troubled debt. During the year ended December 31, 2005,
total non-performing assets decreased by $4.4 million, or
44.5%, to $5.6 million from $10.0 million at
December 31, 2004. The decrease in nonperforming assets was
mainly attributable to significant efforts over the past two
years which resulted in the final resolution of several
long-standing nonperforming loans.
The following table represents the amount of loans that were on
non-accrual, past due 90 days and still accruing and
forgone interest for each of the last five fiscal years.

Centrue Financial recognized large loan loss provisions of
approximately 1% of total loans in both 2003 and 2002 on a group
of commercial real estate and real estate development loans that
were made in previous years. During 2003, Centrue Financial
adopted a new loan policy and implemented new loan approval,
documentation and monitoring processes. Centrue Financial also
recruited and employed an experienced commercial lending team
including three new regional presidents, each of whom is an
experienced commercial lender, as well as three other seasoned
commercial lenders. In 2004, Centrue Financial recruited a Chief
Credit Officer to strengthen our monitoring of credit quality
and the overall loan portfolio. His duties include
responsibility for all credit administration activities and to
oversee an independent review of new and existing loans in the
portfolio. Centrue Financial management performs a quarterly
analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
Management classifies problem loans into one of four categories:
Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss. During the
year ended December 31, 2005, total adversely classified
loans decreased by $8.8 million to $10.6 million from
$19.4 million at December 31, 2004. This decrease was
due in part to Centrue Financials implementation of an
ongoing comprehensive loan review, as well as the adoption and
implementation of a new comprehensive loan policy that has
identified problem loans in a more timely manner. The new
program was designed to assist management in focusing collection
efforts in problem areas and is expected to continue to result
in lower charge-offs. Classified loans began decreasing in 2004
and decreased dramatically during 2005. Centrue Financial will
continue to work to reduce the volume of classified loans in
2006.
136
Certain loans may require frequent management attention and are
reviewed on a monthly or more frequent basis. Although payments
on these loans may be current or less than 90 days past
due, the borrowers presently have or have had a history of
financial difficulties and management has a concern as to the
borrowers ability to comply with the present loan payment
terms. Management believes such loans present more than the
normal risk of collectibility. As such, these loans may result
in classification at some future point in time as nonperforming.
At December 31, 2005, such loans amounted to approximately
$9.7 million, as compared to $12.4 million at
December 31, 2004.

The balance in the allowance for loan losses and the related
amount charged to operations is based upon periodic evaluations
of the loan portfolio by management. These evaluations consider
several factors including, but not limited to, general economic
conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loan loss
experience, and managements estimate of future potential
losses.
Beginning in 2003, Centrue Financial undertook a comprehensive
review of its loan procedures and implemented a new
comprehensive loan policy. This process indicated the need for
additional allocations of commercial related loans during 2004.
During 2005, Centrue Financial again reviewed how it
specifically allocated the allowance and made adjustments based
upon its review of specific loans. The allowance for loan losses
is a material estimate that is particularly susceptible to
significant changes in the near term and is established through
a provision for loan losses. The allowance is based upon past
loan experience and other factors which, in managements
judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating loan losses.
The evaluation includes a review of all loans on which full
collectibility may not be reasonably assured. Other
137
factors considered by management include the size and character
of the loan portfolio, concentrations of loans to specific
borrowers or industries, existing economic conditions and
historical losses on each portfolio category. In connection with
the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management
obtains independent appraisals for significant properties, which
collateralize loans. Management establishes historical loss
percentages and evaluates problem loans and adjusts allocations
as necessary. Management believes it uses the best information
available to make such determinations. If circumstances differ
substantially from the assumptions used in making
determinations, future adjustments to the allowance for loan
losses may be necessary and results of operations could be
affected. While Centrue Financial believes it has established
its existing allowance for loan loses in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing
Centrue Banks loan portfolio, will not request an increase
in the allowance for loan losses. Because future events
affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with
certainty, there can be no assurance that increases to the
allowance will not be necessary if loan quality deteriorates.
The following table represents the allocation of the allowance
for loan losses by loan category.

Asset/ Liability Management |
In an attempt to manage its exposure to changes in interest
rates, management closely monitors Centrue Financials
interest rate risk. Centrue Bank has a funds management
committee that consists of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Operating Officer, a Regional President, the Corporate
Controller and Centrue Bank Controller. The committee meets
monthly and reviews Centrue Banks interest rate risk
position and evaluates its current asset/liability pricing and
strategies. The committee adjusts pricing and strategies as
needed and makes recommendations to Centrue Banks board of
directors regarding significant changes in strategy. In
addition, on a quarterly basis, the board reviews the
Banks asset/liability position, including simulations of
the effect on the Banks capital of various interest rate
scenarios.
Centrue Financials exposure to market risk is reviewed on
a regular basis by the funds management committee. Interest rate
risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest
rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss
of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair
market values. The Funds Management Committee generally uses
three types of analysis in measuring and reviewing Centrue
Financials interest rate sensitivity. These are Static GAP
analysis, Dynamic Gap Analysis and Economic Value of Equity
(EVE).
The Static GAP analysis consists of examining the matching of
assets and liabilities and the extent to which such assets and
liabilities are interest rate sensitive and by
monitoring an institutions interest rate sensitivity gap.
An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive
within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice
within that time period. The interest rate sensitivity gap is
defined as the difference between
138
the amount of interest-earning assets anticipated, based upon
certain assumptions, to mature or reprice within a specific time
period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities
anticipated, based upon certain assumptions, to mature or
reprice within that same time period. A gap is considered
positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets
exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap
is considered negative when the amount of interest rate
sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate
sensitive liabilities. During a period of rising interest rates,
a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net
interest income while a negative gap would tend to adversely
affect net interest income. During a period of falling interest
rates, a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net
interest income while a negative gap would tend to result in an
increase in net interest income.
The following condensed GAP report summarizing Centrue
Financials interest rate sensitivity sets forth the
interest rate sensitivity of Centrue Banks assets and
liabilities at December 31, 2005. Except as stated below,
the amounts of assets and liabilities shown which reprice or
mature during a particular period are determined in accordance
with the earlier of the term to repricing or maturity of the
asset or liability. Based on Centrue Financials historical
trends, interest bearing demand deposits, money market deposits,
and savings deposits have been proven to be a very stable source
of funds, even through interest rate fluctuations. Accordingly,
Centrue Financial management believes these deposits are not
100% rate sensitive within the three months or less time frame.
As a result, interest bearing demand and savings deposits have
been allocated between the five repricing categories as follows:
three months or less 20%, after three through twelve
months 20%, after one through three
years 20%, after three through five
years 20%, and after five years 20%.
Money market deposits have been allocated between the categories
as follows: after three through twelve months 50%
and after one through three years 50%. Certificate
accounts are assumed to reprice at the date of contractual
maturity.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis
presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain
assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to
repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in
market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types
of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in
market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may
lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain
assets, such as ARMs, have features which restrict changes in
interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the
asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates,
prepayment and early withdrawal levels could deviate
significantly from those assumed in calculating the table.
Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their
adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the event of an interest
rate increase.
The dynamic interest rate risk analysis calculates risk to net
interest income under three different scenarios, including flat,
upward and downward rate shifts. The analysis assumes that rates
change over a 12 month time frame. The analysis calculates
net interest spread, net interest margin, loan to deposit, cost
of funds, ratio of earning assets and capital. The model assumes
that as principal runs off, principal is reinvested into the
same category. Other assumptions which are varied include: loan
rates, investment yields and growth rates. This is accomplished
using a simulation model. Modeling techniques encompass
contractual maturity, prepayment assumptions covering interest
rate increases and decreases and index-driven repricing
characteristics. The model projects changes in net interest
income over a one-year period should interest rates rise, fall
or remain constant. These effects are analyzed assuming interest
rate increases or decreases of 100, 200 and 300 basis
points. The model also incorporates key assumptions involving
Centrue Financials ability to control and direct deposit
rates, particularly on non-maturity categories. As of
December 31, 2005, the simulation model indicated that over
a twelve month horizon if interest rates were to increase
100 basis points, net income would increase $303,000. If
interest rates were to decrease 100 basis points, net
income would decrease $220,000.
The economic value of equity calculation uses information about
Centrue Financials assets, liabilities and off-balance
sheet items, market interest rate levels and assumptions about
the behavior of the assets and liabilities, to calculate Centrue
Financials equity value. The economic value of equity is
the market value of assets minus the market value of
liabilities, adjusted for off-balance sheet items divided by the
market value of assets. The economic value of equity is then
subjected to immediate and permanent upward changes of
300 basis points in market interest rate levels, in
100 basis point increments, and a downward change of
100 basis points. The resulting changes in equity value and
net interest income at each increment are
140
measured against pre-determined, minimum EVE ratios for each
incremental rate change, as approved by the board in the
interest rate risk policy.
The following table presents Centrue Banks EVE ratios for
the various rate change levels at December 31, 2005 and
2004:

The preceding table indicates that at December 31, 2005, in
the event of an immediate and permanent 100 basis point
increase in prevailing market interest rates, Centrue
Banks EVE ratio, would be expected to increase and that in
the event of an immediate and permanent decrease in prevailing
market interest rates, Centrue Banks EVE ratio would be
expected to decrease.
At December 31, 2005, the EVE increases in a rising rate
scenario because Centrue Financial is asset sensitive and would
have more interest earning assets repricing than
interest-bearing liabilities. This effect is increased by
periodic and lifetime limits on changes in rate on most
adjustable-rate, interest-earning assets. The EVE decreases in a
falling rate scenario because of the limits on Centrue
Financials ability to decrease rates on some of its
deposit sources, such as money market accounts and NOW accounts,
and by the ability of borrowers to repay loans ahead of schedule
and refinance at lower rates.
The EVE ratio is calculated by Centrue Financials fixed
income investment advisor, and reviewed by management, on a
quarterly basis utilizing information about Centrue
Financials assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet
items, which is provided by Centrue Financial. The calculation
is designed to estimate the effects of hypothetical rate changes
on the EVE, utilizing projected cash flows, and is based on
numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market
interest rates, loan prepayments speeds and deposit decay rates.
Actual changes in the EVE, in the event of market interest rate
changes of the type and magnitude used in the calculation, could
differ significantly. Additionally, the calculation does not
account for possible actions taken by Funds Management to
mitigate the adverse effects of changes in market interest rates.
In managing its asset/liability mix, Centrue Financial, at
times, depending on the relationship between long-term and
short-term interest rates, market conditions and consumer
preferences, may place somewhat greater emphasis on maximizing
its net interest margin than on better matching the interest
rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities in an effort to
improve its net income. While Centrue Financial does have some
exposure to changing interest rates, management believes that
Centrue Financial is positioned to protect earnings throughout
changing interest rate environments and that Centrue
Financials market risk is reasonable at this time.
Centrue Financial currently does not enter into derivative
financial instruments, including futures, forwards, interest
rate risk swaps, option contracts, or other financial
instruments with similar characteristics and Centrue Financial
has no market risk sensitive instruments held for trading
purposes. However, Centrue Financial is party to financial
instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of
business to meet the financing needs of its customers such as
commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Commitments
to extend credit and letters of credit are not recorded as an
asset by Centrue Financial until the commitment is accepted and
funded or the letter of credit is exercised.

Liquidity and Capital Resources |
Centrue Financials primary sources of funds are deposits,
proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and on
investment securities. While maturities and scheduled
amortization of loans and investment securities are a
predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage loan
prepayments are greatly
141
influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and
competition. In a period of declining interest rates, mortgage
loan prepayments generally increase. As a result, the proceeds
from mortgage loan prepayments are invested in lower yielding
loans or other investments which have the effect of reducing
interest income. In a period of rising interest rates, mortgage
loan prepayments generally decrease and the proceeds from such
prepayments are invested in higher yielding loans or investments
which would have the effect of increasing interest income.
Centrue Financials liquidity, represented by cash and cash
equivalents, is a result of its operating, investing and
financing activities. The primary investing activities of
Centrue Financial are the origination of loans, the purchase of
investment securities, and, to a lesser extent, the purchase of
loans and loan participations. Centrue Financial manages the
investing activities primarily by investing in or selling loans
and investment securities. During 2005, Centrue Financial
acquired Illinois Community. This transaction was an investing
activity that was not part of the day to day operations of
Centrue Financial. All other transactions such as the purchase
of fixed assets and the reinvestment of investment security
maturities are common activities of Centrue Financial.
Centrue Financials investing activities have a direct
correlation to the financing activities. Factors that influence
Centrue Financials financing activities involve the
collection of deposits and advances and repayments of
borrowings. Centrue Financial has the ability to borrow funds
from the FHLB. Additionally, Centrue Financial has approximately
$20 million available on a line of credit from a third
party financial institution. The issuance or purchase of stock
also has a direct effect on Centrue Financials financing
activities. Additional financing activities that Centrue
Financial may engage in include the purchase and issuance of
common stock, as well as, the payment of dividends on common
stock. During 2005, Centrue Financial repurchased
178,865 shares of its common stock.
Centrue Financial maintains a certain level of cash and other
liquid assets to fund normal volumes of loan commitments,
deposit withdrawals and other obligations. The following table
summarizes significant contractual obligations and other
commitments at December 31, 2005 (in thousands):

Fixed rate callable borrowings are included in the period of
their modified duration rather than in the period in which they
are due. Borrowings include fixed rate callable advances of
$5 million and $2 million maturing in 2008 and 2011
which are callable in 2006. Trust preferred debentures of
$10 million mature in both 2032 and 2034, but are callable
in 2007 and 2009. |
Centrue Financials most liquid assets are cash, cash in
banks and highly liquid, short-term investments. The levels of
these assets are dependent on Centrue Financials
operating, financing, lending and investing
142
activities during any given period. Securities
available-for-sale may also be utilized to meet liquidity needs.
At December 31, 2005 and 2004, these liquid assets totaled
$18.3 million and $13.3 million, respectively.
Liquidity management for Centrue Financial is both a daily and
long-term function of Centrue Financials management
strategy. Excess funds are generally invested in short-term
investments such as federal funds. In the event that Centrue
Financial should require funds beyond its ability to generate
them internally, additional sources of funds are available,
including FHLB advances. At December 31, 2005, Centrue
Financial had outstanding long-term borrowings totaling
$58.7 million, of which $37.5 million were advances
from the FHLB, $20.0 million were junior subordinated debt
owed to unconsolidated trusts, and $1.2 million were funds
from notes payable.
At December 31, 2005, Centrue Financial had outstanding
commitments to originate mortgage loans of $3.8 million, of
which 95% were at fixed interest rates. These commitments
provided that the loans would be secured by properties located,
for the most part, in Centrue Financials primary market
areas. Centrue Financial anticipates that it will have
sufficient funds available to meet its current loan commitments.
Certificates of deposit that were scheduled to mature in one
year or less from December 31, 2005, totaled
$168.0 million. Based upon the historically stable nature
of Centrue Financials deposit base, management believes
that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with
Centrue Financial. Centrue Financial also had unused lines of
credit provided to customers of $56.9 million at
December 31, 2005.
At December 31, 2005, Centrue Financial and Bank met all
capital requirements as set by federal and state regulatory
agencies. See Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements and the discussion of Centrue
Financials financial condition above.
The Federal Reserve Boards policy is that a bank holding
company should pay cash dividends only to the extent that its
net income for the past year is sufficient to cover both the
cash dividends and a rate of earnings retention that is
consistent with the holding companys capital needs, asset
quality and overall financial condition, and that it is
inappropriate for a bank holding company experiencing serious
financial problems to borrow funds to pay dividends.
Furthermore, under certain circumstances, the Federal Reserve
Board may prohibit a bank holding company from paying any
dividends if a bank subsidiary of the holding company is
classified under prompt corrective action as
undercapitalized.
Centrue Financials primary source for cash dividends is
the dividends received from our subsidiary bank. Centrue Bank is
subject to various regulatory policies and requirements relating
to the payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain
capital above regulatory minimums. Centrue Bank, in general, may
not pay dividends in excess of its net profits. Centrue Bank
declared and paid dividends totaling $10.4 million,
$2.5 million and $1.9 million to Centrue Financial,
its sole stockholder, during 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Cash dividends in the total amount of $.075 and $.30 per
share were paid by Centrue Financial during 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Centrue Financial discontinued payment of its
quarterly cash dividend in 2004 in an effort to focus on the
repurchase of shares, as well as to strengthen the capital of
Centrue Financial for possible future acquisitions. The payment
of future dividends, if any, will depend primarily upon Centrue
Financials earnings, financial condition and need for
funds, as well as restrictions imposed by regulatory authorities
regarding dividend payments and net worth requirements.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six
Months Periods Ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. |
Centrue Financials total assets were $634.5 million
at June 30, 2006, a decrease of $7.0 million or 1.1%,
from $641.5 million at December 31, 2005. Fluctuations
in asset accounts were represented by an increase in net loans
of $6.7 million and decreases in cash and cash equivalents
of $3.4 million, investment securities of
$4.0 million, loans held for sale of $5.2 million and
real estate held for sale of $1.7 million.
143
Net loans increased $6.7 million or 1.6% to
$435.2 million from $428.5 million. Loan growth was
partially offset by the payoff of a $4.0 million commercial
credit which Centrue Financial decided not to renew under the
previous terms of the note due to changes in the borrowers
financial condition and strategic plans and a $2.6 million
payoff of a purchased loan participation.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $3.4 million and
investment securities decreased $4.0 million, both of which
were a result of meeting short-term liquidity needs. Loans held
for sale declined $5.2 million as $4.8 million of
loans were transferred to the regular mortgage loan portfolio.
The decrease in real estate held for sale of $1.7 million
was primarily due to the sale Centrue Financials largest
real estate owned property.
Deposits decreased $45.6 million to $462.3 million
from $507.9 million at December 31, 2005. The net
decrease in deposits was primarily attributable to a
$43.6 million reduction in certificates of deposit over
$100,000 as a result of a strategy of not being as aggressive in
bidding on the renewal of these deposits in light of the
availability of lower wholesale funding rates from other funding
sources.
Partially compensating for the deposit decline were increases in
total borrowings of $39.4 million. This increase included
gains in customer repurchase agreements, a deposit alternative,
which increased $10.7 million and increases in total
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago
(FHLB) of $26.2 million.
Stockholders equity increased slightly from
$43.1 million to $43.3 million. There were
2,232,889 shares of common stock outstanding at
June 30, 2006, compared to 2,262,939 shares at
December 31, 2005. Equity per share of common stock
increased by $0.33 to $19.38 at June 30, 2006 from $19.05
at December 31, 2005.
Centrue Financials asset quality management program,
particularly with regard to loans, is designed to analyze
potential risk elements and to support the growth of a high
quality loan portfolio. The existing loan portfolio is monitored
via Centrue Financials loan rating system. The loan rating
system is used to assist in determining the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses. Centrue Financials loan
analysis process allows us to proactively identify, monitor and
work with borrowers for whom there are indications of future
repayment difficulties. Centrue Financials lending
philosophy is to invest in the communities served by its banking
centers so that it can effectively monitor and control credit
risk.

Nonperforming loans decreased $775,000 from the end of 2005,
while foreclosed assets decreased $1.7 million. The decline
in the total nonperforming loans marks the 8th consecutive
quarterly decline and it is attributable to Centrue
Financials implementation of an ongoing comprehensive loan
review as well as the adoption and implementation of a new loan
policy that identifies problem loans in a timelier manner.
144
Management is in various stages of workout or liquidation with
the remaining nonperforming loans. The drop in foreclosed assets
came primarily from the sale of Centrue Financials largest
real estate owned property.
One measure of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is
the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans. The
ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was .97%
and 1.02% at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
respectively. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to
non-performing loans increased to 140.88% at June 30, 2006
compared to 117.33% at December 31, 2005. The increase in
this ratio, which excludes foreclosed assets and restructured
troubled debt, was the result of the $775,000 decrease in
nonperforming loans.
Centrue Financials Chief Credit Officer joined Centrue
Financial in 2004 to strengthen the monitoring of credit quality
and improve the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio.
His duties include responsibility for all credit administration
activities and to oversee an independent review of new and
existing loans in the portfolio. Centrue Financial management
performs a quarterly analysis of the adequacy of the allowance
for loan losses. Problem loans are classified into one of four
categories: Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss.
Centrue Financials implementation of an ongoing
comprehensive loan review, as well as the adoption and
implementation of a new comprehensive loan policy has assisted
management in identifying problem loans in a timely manner. The
new program was designed to facilitate the focus of collection
efforts in problem areas which should result in lower
charge-offs. Classified loans began decreasing in 2004 and
decreased dramatically during 2005 and the first half of 2006.
Centrue Financial will continue to work to reduce the volume of
classified loans through the remainder of 2006.
Centrue Financial recognized charge offs in the amount of
$298,000 and $626,000 during the second quarter and first
six-months of 2006 and $797,000 and $874,000 for the second
quarter and first six-months of 2005. Centrue Financial had
recoveries of $84,000 and $284,000 for the second quarter and
first six-months of 2006 and $187,000 and $379,000 for the
second quarter and first six-months of 2005. The provision for
loan losses was $75,000 and $150,000 for the second quarter and
first six months of 2006, compared to $251,000 and $501,000 for
the second quarter and first six months of 2005.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed
adequate by management to absorb probable losses in the loan
portfolio. Managements methodology to determine the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses considers specific
credit reviews, past loan loss experience, current economic
conditions and trends, and the volume, growth and composition of
the loan portfolio. Based upon Centrue Financials
quarterly analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses, considering remaining collateral of loans with more than
a normal degree of risk, historical loan loss percentages and
economic conditions, it is managements belief that the
allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2006 was adequate.
However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for loan
losses will be adequate to cover all losses.
Each credit on Centrue Financials internal loan
watch list is evaluated periodically to estimate
potential losses. In addition, minimum loss estimates for each
category of watch list credits are provided for based on
managements judgment which considers past loan loss
experience and other factors. For installment and real estate
mortgage loans, specific allocations are based on past loss
experience adjusted for recent portfolio growth and economic
trends. The total of the estimated loss exposure resulting from
the analysis is considered the allocated portion of the
allowance for loan losses. The amounts specifically provided for
individual loans and pools of loans are supplemented by an
unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses. This
unallocated amount is determined based on managements
judgment which considers, among other things, the risk of error
in the specific allocations, other potential exposure in the
loan portfolio, economic conditions and trends, and other
factors.
The allowance for loan losses is charged when management
determines that the prospects of recovery of the principal of a
loan have significantly diminished. Subsequent recoveries, if
any, are credited to the allowance for loan losses. All
installment loans that are 90 to 120 days past due are
charged off monthly unless the loans are insured for credit loss
or where scheduled payments are being received. Real estate
mortgage loans are written down to fair value upon foreclosure.
Commercial and other loan charge-offs are made based on
managements on-going evaluation of non-performing loans.

Critical Accounting Policies |
In the ordinary course of business, Centrue Financial has made a
number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of
results of operations and financial condition in preparing its
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. See,
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years
Ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003-Critical Accounting
Policies for a discussion of Centrue Financials most
critical accounting policies.
Stock Compensation Plans. In January 2006, Centrue
Financial adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement
No. 123R (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123R) which amends SFAS 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.
SFAS 123R requires new, modified and unvested share-based
payment transactions with employees to be measured at fair value
and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period.
The fair value of each option award is estimated using a
Black-Scholes option valuation model that requires Centrue
Financial to develop estimates for assumptions used in the
model. The Black-Scholes valuation model uses the following
assumptions: expected volatility, expected term of option,
risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. Expected volatility
estimates are developed by Centrue Financial based on historical
volatility of Centrue Financials stock. Centrue Financial
uses historical data to estimate the expected term of the
options. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the
expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury
yield in effect at the grant date. The dividend yield represents
the expected dividends on Centrue Financial stock.

Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 and
2005 |
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2006, net income
increased to $938,000 from $720,000 for the same period in 2005.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased
to $1.6 million from $1.9 million for the same period
in 2005. Return on average assets for the second quarter and
first six months of 2006 was 0.60% and 0.51% compared to 0.45%
and 0.60% for 2005. Return on average equity for the second
quarter and first six months of 2006 was 8.73% and 7.55%,
compared to 6.72% and 8.90% for 2005.
With the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123R beginning in 2006, Centrue Financial elected to
use the modified retrospective method of application which
requires the restatement of earnings for prior periods.
Accordingly, the results for the second quarter and first six
months of 2005 were restated to include additional compensation
expense of $185,000 and $234,000, respectively. Net income for
the second quarter and first six months of 2005 was decreased by
$133,000 and $182,000, respectively as a result of this
restatement.
The second quarter of 2005 operating results included
non-recurring expenses of $666,000 ($0.22 per share, after
tax). The non-recurring expenses included $464,000 of fixed
asset and prepaid expense write downs and other conversion costs
that were incurred from Centrue Financials core processing
system conversion. Management converted its systems to Jack
Henry & Associates Silverlake data processing
system which allowed Centrue Financial to expand its products
and improve delivery of services to its customer base. The
non-recurring expenses also included $202,000 of professional
fees due to a terminated transaction associated with Centrue
Financials merger and acquisition activity.
Net interest income for the three month and six month periods
decreased $553,000 and $544,000 from 2005. Interest income
increased by $545,000 and $1.6 million for the three month
and six month periods. The net interest margin for the second
quarter of 2006 decreased to 3.15% compared to 3.49% on a tax
equivalent basis for 2005. For the six month periods, the net
interest margin decreased to 3.29% compared to 3.52% on a tax
equivalent basis for 2005.
For the second quarter of 2006, tax equivalent interest income
increased $557,000, to $8.6 million (see Table 2). The
increase was primarily attributable to an increase in interest
rates that was partially offset by a decrease in average earning
assets. Average earning assets decreased $8.6 million to
$564.4 million from $573.1 million in 2005. The
average tax equivalent rate earned on earning assets increased
48 basis points to
146
6.13% from 5.65%. The decrease in the average balance of
interest-earning assets was primarily due to a decline in
average loans of $6.0 million. Influencing this decline was
the payoff of a $4.0 million commercial credit which
Centrue Financial decided not to renew under the previous terms
of the note due to changes in the borrowers financial
condition and strategic plans and a $2.6 million payoff of
a purchased loan participation. The increase in the yield earned
on interest-earning assets was due to the rising interest rate
environment which has seen multiple increases in the federal
funds rate and prime lending rates over the past several months.
Interest expense in the second quarter increased
$1.1 million to $4.2 million from $3.1 million in
2005. The increase was primarily attributable to a rising
interest rate environment as the rates paid on deposits
increased during the period. This increase was partially offset
by a decline in average interest bearing liabilities of
$10.1 million to $513.6 million from $523.7 for the
second quarter of 2005. The rise in rates also led to a shift in
deposits away from the Savings category to the Demand and NOW
account categories as customers migrated their deposits to
higher rate NOW accounts. As illustrated in Table 2, the
rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased
90 basis points to 3.27% from 2.37% in 2005.
The second quarter net interest margin dropped from 3.49% in
2005 to 3.15% in 2006. This compression occurred as the rates
paid on interest bearing liabilities increased faster than the
yield on loans and investments. Centrue Financials loan
and investment rate increases tend to lag deposit and borrowing
rates in an increasing rate environment. A flat yield curve has
also contributed to this margin decline.

Presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis, assuming a combined
Federal and State tax rate of 38.7%. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, tax equivalent
interest income increased $1.6 million, to
$17.1 million (see Table 3). The increase was attributable
to an increase in interest rates and volume. Average
149
earning assets increased $8.1 million to
$566.4 million from $558.3 million in 2005. The
average tax equivalent rate earned on earning assets increased
48 basis points to 6.10% from 5.62%. The increase in the
average balance of interest-earning assets was primarily due to
the growth in loans. The increase in the yield earned on
interest-earning assets was due to the rising interest rate
environment which has seen multiple increases in the federal
funds rate and prime lending rates over the past several months.
Interest expense during the first half of the year increased
$2.1 million to $7.9 million from $5.8 million in
2005. The increase was a combination of higher rates being paid
on virtually all funding sources combined with an increase of
$5.7 million in the average interest-bearing liabilities.
The rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased
79 basis points to 3.09% from 2.30% in 2005. The
$5.7 million increase in average interest-bearing
liabilities was a combination of lower base line deposits being
offset by growth in borrowings. The increase in the average rate
on interest-bearing liabilities resulted from a generally rising
interest rate environment and the need to remain competitive
with local competition.
The provision for loan losses was $75,000 and $150,000 for the
second quarter and first six months of 2006, compared to
$251,000 and $501,000 for the second quarter and first six
months of 2005.

Noninterest income was $2.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2006 as compared to $1.7 million for
the same period in 2005. The increase in noninterest income was
primarily driven by an increase in fee income of $302,000, net
gains on the sale of loans of $166,000 and a net gain on the
sale of real estate of $189,000. Fee income increased primarily
from overdraft fee increases during the quarter while the gain
on sale of real estate came from the disposition of a major real
estate holding. The increase in the net gain on the sale of
loans came from higher mortgage production in the quarter.

Total noninterest expenses decreased $149,000, from the
comparable 2005 period. Compensation and benefits increased
$48,000, primarily from normal merit increases offset by a
decrease of FTEs from 199 in the second quarter of 2005 to 187
for the second quarter of 2006 and the restatement of
compensation expense for 2005. Furniture and equipment expense
in 2005 was unusually high as a result of a one-time write-down
of $420,000 from fixed assets and prepaid expenses related to
Centrue Financials former data processing system. The
system became obsolete with the conversion to the Jack
Henry & Associates Silverlake system in June of
2005. This change also drove the increase in data processing
fees of $302,000 as the delivery of data processing services was
converted from an in-house system to an outsourced system in
June 2005. This new system has improved Centrue Financials
efficient use of technology, along with providing improved
service to customers. A portion of the increased data processing
expense was offset by fewer FTEs in the operations area. Legal
and professional fees in 2005 included $202,000 of fees from a
terminated transaction associated with Centrue Financials
merger and acquisition activity.

Noninterest income was $4.0 million for the six-months
ended June 30, 2006, compared to $3.3 million for the
same period in 2005. The increase in noninterest income was
primarily driven by an increase in fee income, up $370,000, net
gains on the sale of loans, up $142,000 and a net gain on the
sale of real estate, up $163,000. These gains were somewhat
offset by a decline in the sale of securities of $179,000. Fee
income increased primarily from overdraft fee increases during
the period while the gain on sale of real estate came from the
151
disposition of a major real estate holding. The increase in the
net gain on the sale of loans came from higher mortgage
production in the period. Fewer securities sales led to the
decline in gains on the sale of securities.

Noninterest expense was $10.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2006. This compares to $9.8 million for
the same period in 2005. Major factors in this change were
compensation and benefits which increased $844,000, occupancy
expenses which increased $168,000, data processing which
increased $488,000 and furniture and equipment expenses which
decreased $589,000. Compensation and benefits increases can be
tied to the opening of the new Fairview Heights office at the
end of May 2005, as well as the addition of several new officers
in the later half of 2005, including a new Chief Operating
Officer and new managers for the mortgage, compliance, consumer
lending and operations areas, all to add further depth to
Centrue Financials management team.
Furniture and equipment decreased because 2005 included a
write-down of $420,000 of fixed assets and prepaid expenses
related to Centrue Financials former data processing
system which became obsolete after the data processing
conversion in June 2005 and a shift to an outsourced delivery of
data processing services. That shift drove higher costs in the
data processing expense category. Occupancy expenses increased
primarily due to the opening of the new Fairview Heights branch,
as well as a loan production office in Plainfield. Legal and
professional fees in 2005 included $202,000 of fees from a
terminated transaction associated with Centrue Financials
merger and acquisition activity.
Income tax expense increased $174,000 for the second quarter
ended June 30, 2006 while it declined by $94,000 for the
six month period. The effective income tax rate for the second
quarter increased to 27.2% in 2006 from 19.6% in 2005. The
increased effective rate was a function of a higher portion of
taxable income being taxed at the highest marginal tax rate. The
decrease in income tax expense for the six month period was due
to lower pretax income at a nearly even effective tax rate.
Centrue Financial and its subsidiary Centrue Bank are subject to
various regulatory capital requirements administered by the
federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum
capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory
and possibly additional discretionary actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material
effect on Centrue Financial and Centrue Banks financial
statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action, Centrue Financial and
Centrue Bank subsidiary must meet specific capital guidelines
that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. Centrue Financials and Centrue
Banks capital amounts and classifications are also subject
to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components,
risk weightings, and other factors.
152
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure
capital adequacy require Centrue Financial and Centrue Bank
subsidiary to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in
the table below) of Tier 1 capital (as defined by the
regulations) to average assets (as defined) and Total and
Tier I capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as
defined). Management believes, as of June 30, 2006, that
Centrue Financial and Centrue Bank meet all capital adequacy
requirements to which they are subject.
As of June 30, 2006, the most recent notification from
Centrue Banks primary regulators, categorized Centrue Bank
as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized,
Centrue Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the
Table 8 below. There are no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed Centrue
Banks category.

Legal Proceedings
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which Centrue
Financial or Centrue Bank is a party other than ordinary routine
litigation incidental to their respective businesses.
Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants
None.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Asset/ Liability Management. In an attempt to manage its
exposure to changes in interest rates, management closely
monitors Centrue Financials interest rate risk. Centrue
Bank has a funds management committee, which meet monthly and
review interest rate risk positions and evaluate current
asset/liability
153
pricing and strategies. The committees adjust pricing and
strategies as needed and make recommendations to Centrue
Banks board of directors regarding significant changes in
strategy. In addition, on a quarterly basis, the board reviews
Centrue Banks asset/liability position, including
simulations of the effect on Centrue Banks capital of
various interest rate scenarios.
In managing its asset/liability mix, Centrue Financial, at
times, depending on the relationship between long-term and
short-term interest rates, market conditions and consumer
preferences, may place somewhat greater emphasis on maximizing
its net interest margin than on better matching the interest
rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities in an effort to
improve its net income. While Centrue Financial does have some
exposure to changing interest rates, management believes that
Centrue Financial is positioned to protect earnings throughout
changing interest rate environments.
Centrue Financial currently does not enter into derivative
financial instruments, including futures, forwards, interest
rate risk swaps, option contracts, or other financial
instruments with similar characteristics. However, Centrue
Financial is party to financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the
financing needs of its customers such as commitments to extend
credit and letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit and
letters of credit are not recorded as an asset by Centrue
Financial until the commitment is accepted and funded or the
letter of credit is exercised.
Centrue Financials net income and economic value of equity
(EVE), in the normal course of business, are exposed
to interest rate risk, and can vary based on changes in the
general level of interest rates. All financial products carry
some amount of interest rate risk, and substantial portions of
both Centrue Financials assets and liabilities are
financial products. These include investment securities, loans,
deposits and borrowed money. Off-balance sheet items, such as
loan commitments, letters of credit, commitments to buy or sell
loans or securities, and derivative financial instruments, also
carry some amount of interest rate risk.
The Funds Management Committee generally uses three types of
analysis in measuring and reviewing Centrue Financials
interest rate sensitivity. These are Static GAP analysis,
Dynamic Gap Analysis and EVE. The Static GAP analysis measures
assets and liabilities as they reprice in various time periods.
The economic value of equity calculation uses information about
Centrue Financials assets, liabilities and off-balance
sheet items, market interest rate levels and assumptions about
the behavior of the assets and liabilities, to calculate Centrue
Financials equity value. The economic value of equity is
the market value of assets minus the market value of
liabilities, adjusted for off-balance sheet items divided by the
market value of assets. The economic value of equity is then
subjected to immediate and permanent upward changes of
300 basis points in market interest rate levels and a
downward change of 200 basis points, in 100 basis
point increments. The resulting changes in equity value and net
interest income at each increment are measured against
pre-determined, minimum EVE ratios for each incremental rate
change, as approved by the board in the interest rate risk
policy.
The following table presents Centrue Banks EVE ratios for
the various rate change levels at June 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005:

The preceding table indicates that in the event of an immediate
and permanent increase in prevailing market interest rates,
Centrue Banks EVE ratio, would be expected to increase and
that in the event of an
154
immediate and permanent decrease in prevailing market interest
rates, Centrue Banks EVE ratio would be expected to
decrease.
The EVE increases in a 100 and 200 basis point rise because
Centrue Financial is asset sensitive and would have more
interest earning assets repricing than interest-bearing
liabilities. This effect is increased by periodic and lifetime
limits on changes in rate on most adjustable-rate,
interest-earning assets. The EVE decreases in the 300 basis
point rise scenarios due to the extension of the duration on the
various loan products which increase the price volatility. The
EVE decreases in a falling rate scenario because of the limits
on Centrue Financials ability to decrease rates on some of
its deposit sources, such as money market accounts and NOW
accounts, and by the ability of borrowers to repay loans ahead
of schedule and refinance at lower rates.
The EVE ratio is calculated by Centrue Financials fixed
income investment advisors, and reviewed by management, on a
quarterly basis utilizing information about Centrue
Financials assets, liabilities and
off-balance sheet
items, which is provided by Centrue Financial. The calculation
is designed to estimate the effects of hypothetical rate changes
on the EVE, utilizing projected cash flows, and is based on
numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market
interest rates, loan prepayment speeds and deposit decay rates.
Actual changes in the EVE, in the event of market interest rate
changes of the type and magnitude used in the calculation, could
differ significantly. Additionally, the calculation does not
account for possible actions taken by Funds Management to
mitigate the adverse effects of changes in market interest rates.

Centrue Bank sponsors a qualified, tax-exempt pension plan
qualifying under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue
Code. Virtually all employees are eligible to participate after
meeting certain age and service requirements. Eligible employees
are permitted to contribute 1% to 50% of their compensation to
the 401(k) plan. Pursuant to the plan, Centrue Bank matches 50%
of a participants deferral into the 401(k) plan limited up
to 3% of each participants salary. Participants can choose
between several different investment options under the 401(k)
plan, including shares of Centrue Financial common stock.
The total contributions under the 401(k) plan, including profit
sharing contributions, by Centrue Financial to the named
executive officers are reflected in the Summary Compensation
Table above.
Stock Incentive Plans
1992 Stock Option Plan. In 1992, Centrue Financial
adopted an incentive stock option plan for the benefit of
directors, officers, and employees of Centrue Financial and
Centrue Bank. The plan was approved by stockholders and provided
for the issuance of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock
options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. The
total number of shares reserved under the plan was 350,000, all
of which have been granted, although some grants remain
outstanding and have not yet been exercised.
2003 Stock Incentive Plan. In 2003, Centrue Financial
adopted a new incentive stock option plan for the benefit of its
directors, officers, and employees. This plan provides for the
issuance of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options,
restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. The stockholders
approved the plan in 2003 and 233,000 shares were
originally reserved for issuance under the plan. In 2004, the
stockholders approved an increase in the amount to
400,000 shares. Centrue Financials board believed
this increase was necessary because of the boards
increased emphasis on the use of equity based compensation for
its employees and directors and also for use in conjunction with
potential futures mergers and acquisitions.
In 2005, Centrue Financial awarded stock options to purchase an
aggregate of 58,000 shares of Centrue Financial common
stock to fifteen employees. Additionally, in 2005, each
independent director received options to
purchase 5,000 shares of Centrue Financial common
stock. In 2005, Centrue Financial also awarded an aggregate of
2,200 shares of restricted shares, at a market price of
$28.20 per share, to seven management level employees of
the bank. The restricted shares in equal installments on
April 8, 2005 and 2006. The stock options and restricted
shares awarded to the named executive officers during 2005 are
included in the tables above.

In December 2005, the Executive Committee reviewed

Director Compensation
Each director of Centrue Financial is also currently a director
of Centrue Bank. In 2005, non-employee directors earned $2,500
for every regularly scheduled Centrue Financial board and
stockholder meeting attended and $500 for each committee meeting
attended. Each non-employee director also earned $2,000 for each
Centrue Bank board meeting attended and $500 for each committee
meeting attended. Additionally, each non-employee director
earned $1,000 for each ad hoc and telephonic board meeting
attended and $1,000 for each loan committee meeting attended.
The Chairman of the Board received a retainer of
$18,750 per calendar quarter and the Chairman of the Audit
Committee received a retainer of $10,000 per calendar
quarter. After each annual meeting of stockholders, each
independent director also receives options to
purchase 5,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the
2003 Stock Incentive Plan.
Pursuant to the Centrue Financial Corporation Non-Employee
Directors Deferred Fee Plan, a director may elect to
receive his or her director fees either in cash on a quarterly
basis with no deferral of income, or to defer receipt of all or
a portion of such compensation until a time following
termination of such directors service on the board or age
sixty-five (65). Amounts deferred are converted into phantom
stock units with each such unit representing a share of our
common stock plus any dividends. Distributions of amounts
credited under the directors account may be made in shares
of our common stock or, at the election of the participating
director, in cash. During 2005, Mr. Griffith deferred
$50,000, Mr. Smith deferred $45,500, and Mr. Hejna
deferred $80,000 of their director fees pursuant to the plan and
at December 31, 2005, the aggregate liability for the
deferred fees with respect to all participating directors was
$268,233. Mr. Hejna serves as our independent board member
on the loan committee and his deferred fees included $35,000
from loan committee meetings for which he is compensated $1,000
for each meeting attended.
Transactions with Management
Directors and officers of Centrue Financial and Centrue Bank,
and their associates, were customers of and had banking
transactions with Centrue Financial and Centrue Bank during 2005
and additional transactions may be expected to take place in the
future. All loans by Centrue Bank to its senior officers and
directors are subject to the rules and regulations of the
Illinois Department of Financial & Professional
Regulation, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the
Securities and Exchange Commission. A commercial bank is
generally prohibited from making loans to its senior officers
and directors at favorable rates or on terms not comparable to
those prevailing to the general public. All outstanding loans,
commitments to loan, transactions in repurchase agreements and
certificates of deposit and depository relationships, in the
opinion of management, were made in the ordinary course of
business, on substantially the same terms, including interest
rates and collateral as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with other persons and did not involve
more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other
unfavorable features.

UNIONBANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In Thousands, Except Per Share Data)
|
|
Note 1. |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements of UnionBancorp, Inc. and subsidiary
(Union) have been prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary to fairly
present the results for the interim periods presented have been
included. The preparation of financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
recorded amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reported period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. For further information with respect to
significant accounting policies followed by Union in the
preparation of its consolidated financial statements, refer to
Unions Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005. The annualized results of
operations during the three and six months ended June 30,
2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for
the year ending December 31, 2006. All financial
information is in thousands (000s), except per share data.

|
Note 2. |
Earnings Per Share |
Basic earnings per share for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005 were computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted
earnings per share for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005 were computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of shares outstanding, adjusted
for the dilutive effect of the stock options. Computations for
basic and diluted earnings per share are provided below:

There were approximately 60,000 and 40,000 options outstanding
at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, that were not
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share
because the options exercise prices were greater than the
average market price of the common stock and were, therefore,
antidilutive.
Unions consolidated securities portfolio, which
represented 32.1% of Unions 2006 second quarter average
earning asset base, is managed to minimize interest rate risk,
maintain sufficient liquidity, and maximize return. The
portfolio includes several callable agency debentures,
adjustable rate mortgage pass-

throughs, and collateralized mortgage obligations. Corporate
bonds consist of investment grade obligations of public
corporations. Equity securities consist of Federal Reserve
stock, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, and trust preferred
stock. Securities classified as available-for-sale, carried at
fair value, were $182,914 at June 30, 2006 compared to
$196,440 at December 31, 2005. Union does not have any
securities classified as trading or
held-to-maturity.

In originating loans, Union recognizes that credit losses will
be experienced and the risk of loss will vary with, among other
things, current economic conditions; the type of loan being
made; the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the
loan; and in the case of a collateralized loan, the quality of
the collateral for such loan. The allowance for loan losses
represents Unions estimate of the allowance necessary to
provide for probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. In
making this determination, Union analyzes the ultimate
collectibility of the loans in its portfolio, incorporating
feedback provided by internal loan staff, the independent loan
review function and information provided by examinations
performed by regulatory agencies. Union makes an ongoing
evaluation as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
Transactions in the allowance for loan losses for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 are summarized

The intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the
exercise price of the underlying awards and the market price of
our common stock as of the reporting date. The intrinsic value
of options exercised during the second quarter of 2006 and 2005
was $174 and $308. Union recorded $68 in stock compensation
expense during the six months ended June 30, 2006 to
salaries and employee benefits.
The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated using
the Black-Scholes based stock option valuation model. This model
requires the input of subjective assumptions that will usually
have a significant impact on the fair value estimate. Expected
volatilities are based on historical volatility of Unions
stock, and other factors. Expected dividends are based on
dividend trends and the market price of Unions stock price
at grant. Union uses historical data to estimate option
exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model.
The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of
the options is bases on the U.S. Treasury yield curves in
effect at the time of grant. There were no grants during the six
months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.
Union elected to adopt the modified prospective application
method as provided by SFAS 123R, and, accordingly Union
recorded compensation costs as the requisite service rendered
for the unvested portion of previously issued awards that remain
outstanding at the initial date of adoption and any awards
issued, modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the effective
date of SFAS 123R.
Prior to January 1, 2006, Union accounted for share-based
compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and
related interpretations. Union also followed the disclosure
requirements of SFAS 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. No stock-based compensation
was recognized on employee stock options in the consolidated
statement of income before January 1, 2006. Accordingly,
financial statement amounts for the prior periods presented in
this Form 10-Q
have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of
expensing share-based compensation.
SFAS 123R requires the recognition of stock based
compensation for the number of awards that are ultimately
expected to vest. As a result, recognized stock option
compensation expense was reduced for estimated forfeitures prior
to vesting primarily based on historical annual forfeiture rates
of approximately three percent. Estimated forfeitures will be
reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new
facts and circumstances. Prior to January 1, 2006, actual
forfeitures were accounted for as they occurred for purposes of
required pro forma stock compensation disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
UnionBancorp, Inc.
Ottawa, Illinois
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of UnionBancorp,
Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related
statements of income, stockholders equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of UnionBancorp, Inc. at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.

UNIONBANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In Thousands, Except Share Data)
|
|
Note 1. |
Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies |
UnionBancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company organized under the
laws of the state of Delaware. Union provides a full range of
banking services to individual and corporate customers located
in the north central and west central areas of Illinois. These
services include demand, time, and savings deposits; lending;
mortgage banking; insurance products; brokerage services; and
trust services. Union is subject to competition from other
financial institutions and nonfinancial institutions providing
financial services. Additionally, UnionBancorp, Inc. and its
subsidiary UnionBank (collectively referred to as
Union) are subject to regulations of certain
regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those
regulatory agencies.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the UnionBancorp, Inc. and UnionBank. Intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles and with general practice in the banking industry. In
preparing the financial statements, management makes estimates
and assumptions based on available information that affects the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses
during the reporting period, and actual results could differ.
The allowance for loan losses, value of mortgage servicing
rights, deferred taxes, and fair values of financial instruments
are particularly subject to change.
Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity, other than trust
cash on deposit with UnionBank, are not assets of Union and,
accordingly, are not included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, deposits with other
financial institutions under 90 days, and federal funds
sold. Loan disbursements and collections, repurchase agreements,
federal funds purchased, Federal Home Loan Bank advances,
Bank owned life insurance and transactions in deposit accounts
are reported, net.
Securities classified as available-for-sale are those securities
that Union intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but
not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security
classified as available-for-sale would be based on various
factors, including significant movements in interest rates,
changes in the maturity mix of Unions assets and
liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations,
and other similar factors. Securities available-for-sale are
carried at fair value with unrealized gains or losses, net of
the related deferred income tax effect, reported in other
comprehensive income. Securities such as Federal Home
Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock are carried
at cost. Declines in the fair value of securities below their
cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized
losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management
considers: (1) the length of time and extent that fair
value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition
and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) Unions
ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient
to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
Interest income is reported net of amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts. Gains or losses from the sale of
securities are determined using the specific identification
method. Securities are written down to fair value when a decline
in fair value is not temporary.

Loan commitments and related financial
instruments |
Financial instruments include off-balance-sheet credit
instruments such as commitments to make loans and commercial
letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The
face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss,
before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such
financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at
the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest,
deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses.
Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.
Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued
at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan
is well-secured and in the process of collection. Consumer and
credit card loans are typically charged off no later than
120 days past due. Past due status is based on the
contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on
nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of
principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on
nonaccrual are reversed against interest income. Interest
received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or
cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.
Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and
interest amounts contractually due are brought current and
future payments are reasonably assured.
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary
market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market, as
determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Net
unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance
and charged to earnings.
Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing
rights retained. The carrying value of mortgage loans sold is
reduced by the cost allocated to the servicing right. Gains and
losses on sales of mortgage loans are based on the difference
between the selling price and the carrying value of the related
loan sold.
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for
probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against
the allowance when management believes and confirms the loan
balance to be uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are
credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance
balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and
volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower
situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions,
and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for
specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any
loan that, in managements judgment, should be charged-off.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The
specific component relates to loans that are individually
classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as
substandard or doubtful. The general component covers
non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience
adjusted for current factors.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information
and events, it is probable that Union will be unable to collect
the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
Factors considered by management in determining impairment
include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of
collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.
Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment
shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management
determines the significance of payment delays and payment
shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration
all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower,
including the length of delay, the reasons for the delay, the
borrowers prior payment record, and the amount of the
shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.
Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for
F-20
UNIONBANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
commercial and commercial real estate loans by either the
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
loans effective interest rate, the loans obtainable
market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance
homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.
Accordingly, Union does not separately identify individual
consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.
|
|
|
Mortgage servicing rights |
Servicing assets represent purchased rights and the allocated
value of retained servicing rights on loans sold. Servicing
assets are expensed in proportion to, and over the period of,
estimated net servicing revenues. Impairment is evaluated based
on the fair value of the assets, using groupings of the
underlying loans as to interest rates and then, secondarily, as
to geographic and prepayment characteristics. Fair value is
determined using prices for similar assets with similar
characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash
flows using market-based assumptions. Any impairment of a
grouping is reported as a valuation allowance, to the extent
that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for a
grouping.
Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are
initially recorded at fair value when acquired, establishing a
new cost basis. If fair value declines, a valuation allowance is
recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed.
Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation. Building and related
components are depreciated using the straight-line method with
useful lives ranging from 15 to 39 years. Furniture,
fixtures, and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line
(or accelerated) method with useful lives ranging from 3 to
10 years. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to
income as incurred; significant improvements are capitalized.
|
|
|
Bank-owned life insurance |
Union has invested in bank-owned life insurance policies, for
which Union is also the beneficiary, on certain members of
management. Bank-owned life insurance is recorded at its cash
surrender value or the amount that can be realized. These
policies have an aggregate face value of $36.2 million and
$37.0 million with an approximate cash surrender value of
$15.5 million and $15.0 million at December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively.
|
|
|
Goodwill and other intangible assets |
Goodwill results from business acquisitions and represents the
excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired
tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible
assets. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment
and any such impairment will be recognized in the period
identified.
Other intangible assets consist of core deposit and acquired
customer relationship intangible assets arising from whole bank,
branch, and insurance company acquisitions. They are initially
measured at fair value and then are amortized over their
estimated useful lives, which is ten years.
Premises and equipment, core deposit, and other intangible
assets, and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment
when events indicate their carrying amount may not be
recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired,
the assets are recorded at fair value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities represent
amounts advanced by various customers. Securities are pledged to
cover these liabilities, which are not covered by federal
deposit insurance.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary
differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax
basis of Unions assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are
recognized for the estimated taxes ultimately payable or
recoverable based on enacted tax laws. Changes in enacted tax
rates and laws are reflected in the financial statements in the
periods they occur.
Basic earnings per share is based on weighted-average common
shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share assumes the
issuance of any dilutive potential common shares under stock
options and Series A convertible preferred shares using the
treasury stock method.
Employee compensation expense under stock options is reported
using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation
cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an
exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the
underlying common stock at date of grant. The following table
illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if
expense was measured using the fair value recognition provisions

Unions Certificate of Incorporation authorizes its Board
of Directors to fix or alter the rights, preferences,
privileges, and restrictions of 200,000 shares of preferred
stock.
Union has the following classes of preferred stock issued or
authorized:
|
|
|
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock: Union has
authorized 2,765 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock. There were 2,762.24 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued at
December 31, 2005 and 2004. Preferential cumulative cash
dividends are payable quarterly at an annual rate of
$75.00 per share. Dividends accrue on each share of
Series A Preferred Stock from the date of issuance and from
day to day thereafter, whether or not earned or declared. The
shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into
172,140 common shares. Series A Preferred Stock is not
redeemable for cash. Upon dissolution, winding up, or
liquidation of Union, voluntary or otherwise, holders of
Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, out
of the assets of Union available for distribution to
stockholders, the amount of $1,000 per share, plus any
accrued but unpaid dividends, before any payment or distribution
may be made on shares of common stock or any other securities
issued by Union that rank junior to the Series A Preferred
Stock. |
|
|
Series B Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Stock: Union
has authorized 1,092 shares of Series B Mandatory
Redeemable Preferred Stock. There were 831 shares of
Series B Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Stock issued at
December 31, 2005 and 2004. Preferential cumulative cash
dividends are payable quarterly at an annual rate of
$60.00 per share. Dividends accrue on each share of
Series B Preferred Stock from the date of issuance and from
day to day, thereafter, whether or not earned or declared. Each
original holder of Series B Preferred Stock (or upon such
holders death, their executor or personal representatives)
will have the option, exercisable at their sole discretion, to
sell, and Union will be obligated to redeem such holders
shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon the earlier to
occur of the death of the respective original holder of
Series B Preferred Stock or August 6, 2006. The per
share price payable by Union for such shares of Series B
Preferred Stock will be equal to $1,000 per share, plus any
accrued but unpaid dividends. Upon dissolution, wind up, or
liquidation of Union, voluntary or otherwise, holders of
Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, out
of the assets of Union available for distribution to
stockholders, the amount of $1,000 per share, plus any
accrued but unpaid dividends, before any payment or distribution
may be made on shares of common stock or any other securities
issued by Union that rank junior to the Series B Preferred
Stock. |
|
|
Union adopted FASB Statement 150, Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments With Characteristics of Both Liabilities
and Equities, during the fourth quarter of 2004. |
|
|
Statement 150 requires reporting mandatorily redeemable
shares as liabilities, as well as obligations not in the form of
shares to repurchase shares that may require cash payment and
some obligations that may be settled by issuing a variable
number of equity shares. |
|
|
Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock: Union
has authorized 4,500 shares of Series C Junior
Participating Preferred Stock. There were no shares issued at
December 31, 2005 and 2004. The Series C Preferred
Stock is only issuable upon exercise of rights issued pursuant
to Unions Stockholder Rights Plan. Each share of
Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock is entitled
to, when, as, and if declared, a minimum preferential quarterly
dividend payment of $3.00 per share but will be entitled to
an aggregate dividend of 1,000 times the dividend declared per
share of common stock. In the event of liquidation, dissolution,
or winding up of Union, the holders of the Series C
Preferred Stock will be entitled to a minimum preferential
payment of $1,000 per share (plus any accrued but unpaid
dividends) and will be entitled to an aggregate payment of 1,000
times the payment made per share of common |

stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock will have
1,000 votes, voting together with the common stock. Finally, in
the event of any merger, consolidation, or other transaction in
which outstanding shares of common stock are converted or
exchanged, each share of Series C Preferred Stock will be
entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per share of
common stock. These rights are protected by customary
antidilution provisions. |
On July 17, 1996, Union declared a dividend of one
preferred share purchase right (a Right) for each
outstanding share of common stock. Each Right entitles the
registered holder to purchase from Union one one-thousandth of a
share of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock, no
par value, of Union at a price of $50.00 per one
one-thousandth of a share of preferred stock (the Purchase
Price), subject to adjustment.
The Rights are not exercisable until the earlier to occur of:
(i) 10 days after a person or group (Acquiring
Person) has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more
of the outstanding shares of common stock or (ii) 10
business days (or such later date as determined by the Board of
Directors) following the commencement of a tender offer or
exchange offer (the Distribution Date). Unless
extended, the Rights will expire on August 4, 2006. At any
time prior to the time an Acquiring Person becomes such, the
Board of Directors of Union may redeem the Rights in whole, but
not in part, at a price of $.01 per Right.
Banking regulations require the maintenance of certain capital
levels and may limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by
the subsidiary bank to the holding company or by the holding
company to stockholders.

Fair value of financial instruments |
Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using
relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully
disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve
uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding
interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors,
especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items.
Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could
significantly affect the estimates.
Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising
in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities
when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range
of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe
there now are such matters that will have a material effect on
the financial statements.
Comprehensive income includes both net income and other
comprehensive income elements, including the change in
unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale,
net of tax.
|

Adoption of new accounting standards |
SFAS 123R, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, Revised, requires all public companies
to record compensation cost for stock options provided to
employees in return for employee service. The cost is measured
at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost is
expensed over the employee service period, which is normally the
vesting period of the options. The Securities and Exchange
Commission in April 2005 amended the compliance dates for
SFAS 123R from periods beginning after September 15,
2005 to
F-24
UNIONBANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
those beginning after January 1, 2006. Compensation cost
will also be recorded for prior option grants that vest after
the date of adoption. The effect of the results of operations
will depend on the level of future option grants and the
calculation of the fair value of the options granted at such
future date, as well as the vesting periods provided, and so
cannot currently be predicted. Existing options that will vest
after adoption date are expected to result in additional
compensation expense of approximately $83,000 during the balance
of 2006, $41,000 in 2007, $29,000 in 2008, and $29,000 in 2009.
There will be no significant effect on financial position as
total equity will not change.
In June 2005, the FASB decided not to provide additional
guidance on the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment, and
issued FSP 115-1 with references to existing
other-than-temporary impairment guidance, such as
SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 59, Accounting for
Noncurrent Marketable Equity Securities, and APB
Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting
for Investments in Common Stock. FSP FAS 115-1
will codify the guidance set forth in EITF Topic D-44 and
clarify that an investor should recognize an impairment loss no
later than when the impairment is deemed other than temporary,
even if a decision to sell has not been made. FSP FAS 115-1
will be effective for other-than-temporary impairment analysis
conducted in periods beginning after December 15, 2005.
SOP 03-3 requires that valuation allowance for loans acquired in
a transfer, including in a business combination, reflect only
losses incurred after acquisition and should not be recorded at
acquisition. It applies to any loan acquired in a transfer that
showed evidence of credit quality deterioration since it was
made. The effect of these other new standards on Unions
financial position and results of operations is not expected to
be material upon and after adoption.
Internal financial information is primarily reported and
aggregated in the following lines of business: banking, mortgage
banking, financial services, and other.

Business Acquisitions and Divestitures |
On May 22, 2003, Union sold its Internet Service Provider
(ISP) product line. Union sold the related assets of
the product line, subscriber accounts, and the
sainet.net and udnet.net domains for
approximately $364. Union recorded a gain of approximately $237
on the sale.
On May 3, 2004, Union sold the deposits and premises of a
UnionBank/ West branch location. At the date of sale, the branch
had approximately $12,535 in deposits, $1,720 in loans, and $336
in fixed assets. The sale price was $440.
On September 10, 2004, Union completed the sale of five
branch offices located in western Illinois. Per the terms of the
agreement announced on May 24, 2004, First Bankers Trust
Company of Quincy, Illinois acquired the physical assets,
$88,600 in deposits, and $40,226 of the net loan portfolio of
UnionBanks Quincy, Macomb, Paloma, Carthage and Rushville,
Illinois offices. This transaction effectively exited UnionBank
from the western Illinois marketplace. The sales price was
approximately $4.4 million. Union also allocated

Union evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment
at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic
and market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is
given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair
value has been less than cost, the financial condition and
near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of
Union to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of
time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair
value. In analyzing an issuers financial condition, Union
may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal
government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating
agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the
issuers financial condition. The unrealized losses on all
securities have not been recognized into income because the
securities are of high credit quality and management has the
intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future and the
decline in fair value is largely due to increases in market
interest rates.

ranging from 13.6% to 15.3%, depending on the stratification of
the specific right.

Unions Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the
Plan) covers all full-time employees who have completed
six months of service and have attained the minimum age of
twenty and one-half years. Vesting in the Plan is based on years
of continuous service. A participant is fully vested after seven
years of credited service. As of December 31, 2005, the
Plan owned 308,250 shares of Unions common stock. All
shares held by the Plan are allocated to plan participants.
Union expenses all cash contributions made to the Plan.
Contributions were $223, $269, and $262 for the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003.
Effective January 1, 1999, Union established a 401(k)
salary reduction plan (the 401(k) plan) covering substantially
all employees. Eligible employees may elect to make tax deferred
contributions within a specified range of their compensation as
defined in the 401(k) plan. Union contributes at its discretion.
Contributions to the 401(k) plan are expensed currently and
approximated $415, $339, and $344 for the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003.

Stock Option Plans |
In April 1993, Union adopted the UnionBancorp 1993 Stock Option
Plan (the 1993 Option Plan). A total of
490,206 shares were issued pursuant to stock options issued
to employees and outside directors under this plan. The 1993
Stock Option Plan was terminated on April 12, 2003.
In 1999, Union adopted the UnionBancorp, Inc. Non-qualified
Stock Option Plan (the 1999 Option Plan). Under the
1999 Option Plan, nonqualified options may be granted to
employees and eligible directors of Union and its subsidiaries
to purchase Unions common stock at 100% of the fair market
value on the date the option is granted. Union has authorized
50,000 shares for issuance under the 1999 Option Plan.
During 1999, 40,750 of these shares were granted and are 100%
fully vested. The options have an exercise period of ten years
from the date of grant. There are 9,250 shares available to
grant under this plan.
In April 2003, Union adopted the UnionBancorp 2003 Stock Option
Plan (the 2003 Option Plan). Under the 2003 Option
Plan, nonqualified options, incentive stock options, and/or
stock appreciation rights may be granted to employees and
outside directors of Union and its subsidiaries to purchase
Unions common

stock at an exercise price to be determined by the 2003 Option
Plans administrative committee. Pursuant to the 2003
Option Plan, 200,000 shares of Unions unissued common
stock have been reserved and are available for issuance upon the
exercise of options and rights granted under the 2003 Option
Plan. The options have an exercise period of ten years from the
date of grant. There are 110,000 shares available to grant
under this plan.
A summary of the status of the option plans as of
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 and changes during the
years ended on those dates is presented below.

Grants under the option plans are accounted for following APB
Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized for incentive stock option
grants under the option plans. The compensation cost charged to
income for nonqualified stock option grants was $0, $2, and $21
for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003.

Earnings Per Share |
A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators for earnings
per common share computations for the years ended
December 31 is presented below (shares in thousands). The
Convertible Preferred Stock is antidilutive for all years
presented and has not been included in the diluted earnings per
share calculation. In addition, options to
purchase 60,000 shares and 40,000 shares of
common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2005 and
December 31, 2004 respectively but were not included in the
computation of diluted

Regulatory Matters |
Union is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered
by the federal banking agencies. Under capital adequacy
guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, Union must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices.
Upon receiving regulatory approval, Union merged UnionBank and
UnionBank/ Central in March of 2003, UnionBank and UnionBank/
West and UnionBank/ Northwest in March of 2004 and UnionBank and
UnionFinancial Services & Trust Company in October of
2004.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure
capital adequacy require Union to maintain minimum amounts and
ratios of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets
and of Tier I capital to average assets. Management
believes, as of December 31, 2005, that Union meets all of
the capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of December 31, 2005, the most recent notification from
the corresponding regulatory agency categorized UnionBank as
well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized,
UnionBank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based, and

Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table.
There are no conditions or events since that notification that
management believes have changed UnionBanks categories.

Unions ability to pay dividends is dependent on the
subsidiary bank, which is restricted by various laws and
regulations. These regulations pose no practical restrictions to
paying dividends at historical levels. At December 31,
2005, UnionBank had $2.5 million of retained earnings
available for dividends under these regulations.

Note 15. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are
described as follows:
|
|
|
The carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and due
from banks, federal funds sold, short-term borrowings, Federal
Home Loan Bank stock, accrued interest receivable and
payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate
loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. Security
fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes and, if
no such information is available, on the rate and term of the
security and information about the issuer. For fixed rate loans
or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with
infrequent repricing or repricing limits, the fair value is
based on discounted |
F-39

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
|
cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated
life and credit risk. Fair values for impaired loans are
estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying
collateral values. The fair value of loans held for sale is
based on market quotes. The fair value of debt and redeemable
stock is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair
value of off-balance-sheet items is based on the current fees or
cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such
arrangements. |
The estimated fair values of Unions financial instruments
were as follows:

In addition, other assets and liabilities of Union that are not
defined as financial instruments are not included in the above
disclosures, such as property and equipment. Also, nonfinancial
instruments typically not recognized in financial statements
nevertheless may have value but are not included in the above
disclosures. These include, among other items, the estimated
earnings power of core deposit accounts, the earnings potential
of loan servicing rights, the earnings potential of the trust
operations, the trained work force, customer goodwill, and
similar items.

Note 16. |
Commitments, Contingencies, and Credit Risk |
In the normal course of business, there are various contingent
liabilities outstanding, such as claims and legal actions, which
are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. In
the opinion of management, no material losses are anticipated as
a result of these actions or claims.
UnionBank is party to financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet
the financing needs of its customers. These financial
instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying
degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount
recognized in the balance sheet.
The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent
of involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.
UnionBanks exposure to credit loss in the event of
nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument
for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit
written is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments. UnionBank uses the same credit policies in making
commitments

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a
customer as long as there is no violation of any condition
established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require
payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do
not necessarily represent future cash requirements. For
commitments to extend credit, UnionBank evaluates each
customers creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The
amount of collateral obtained is based on managements
credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but
may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant, and
equipment; and income producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by
UnionBank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third
party. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of
credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending
loan commitments to customers. The standby letters of credit are
unsecured.
Union has employment agreements with certain executive officers
and certain other management personnel. These agreements
generally continue until terminated by the executive or Union
and provide for continued salary and benefits to the executive
under certain circumstances. The agreements provide the
employees with additional rights after a change of control of
Union occurs.
Union leases certain branch properties under operating leases.
Rent expense was $190, $196, and $269 for 2005, 2004 and 2003.
Rent commitments, before considering renewal options that
generally are present, were as follows:

|
(A) |
|
The net income for the quarter was impacted by nonrecurring
expenses primarily related to organizational restructuring. The
impact to earnings was a decrease of approximately
$0.05 per diluted share. |
|
(B) |
|
The net income for the quarter was impacted by a reduction in
state income taxes related to the receipt of a tax refund
related to amended returns outstanding from prior years. The
impact to earnings was an increase of approximately
$0.06 per diluted share. |
|
(C) |
|
The net income for the quarter was impacted by the sale of 5
branches in the western Illinois region with a pretax gain of
$4.2 million. |
|
(D) |
|
A reclassification was made to the third quarter information to
allocate a portion of the allowance for loan losses to the loans
sold as part of the branch sales during the quarter. This
reclassification had no impact on the balance sheet or income,
as noninterest income was increased by $174 and the provision
for loan losses was increased by $174. |

CENTRUE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
June 30, 2006
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Centrue Financial
Corporation (the Company) have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. The
December 31, 2005 balance sheet has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date, but does not include
all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
for complete financial statements. Operating results for the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 2006. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the annual report for the Company on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Centrue Bank, an
Illinois chartered commercial bank (the Bank). All
material intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated.
The Company is a financial holding company that engages in its
business through its subsidiaries, in a single significant
business segment.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management
is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the
consolidated balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the
period. Actual results could differ significantly from those
estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible
to significant change relate to the determination of the
allowance for loan losses, valuation of mortgage servicing
rights, goodwill, and real estate acquired in connection with
foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the
determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation
of real estate acquired by foreclosure, management obtains
independent appraisals for significant properties.
Certain 2005 amounts have been reclassified where appropriate to
conform to the consolidated financial statement presentation
used in 2006.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment
SFAS 123R which amends SFAS 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.
The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified
retrospective method. The modified retrospective method requires
that compensation cost be recognized beginning with the
effective date based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for
all share-based payments granted after the effective date and
based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards
granted to employees prior to the effective date of
SFAS 123R. The modified retrospective method also allows
companies to adjust prior year financials based on the amounts
previously reported under the SFAS 123 pro forma
disclosures for all prior periods for which SFAS 123 was
effective. See Note 6 for a more detailed description of
the Companys adoption of SFAS 123R.
Note 2 Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share of common stock have been determined by
dividing net income for the period by the average number of
shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share
of common stock have been determined by dividing net income for
the period by the average number of shares of common stock and
common stock equivalents outstanding. Average unearned
restricted stock shares have been excluded from common shares
outstanding for both basic and diluted earnings per share.
Common stock equivalents assume exercise of stock options, and
the purchase of treasury stock with the option proceeds at the
average market

CENTRUE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
price for the period (when dilutive). The Company has an
incentive stock option plan for the benefit of directors,
officers and employees. Diluted earnings per share have been
determined considering the stock options granted, net of stock
options which have been exercised.

Fixed rate callable borrowings are included in the period of
their modified duration rather than in the period in which they
are due. Borrowings include two fixed rate callable advances of
$5 million each that mature in years 2008 and 2016 which
are callable within the next 12 months and a variable rate,
pre-payable advance of $20 million maturing in fiscal year
2008. Trust preferred debentures of $10 million mature in
both 2032 and 2034, but are callable in 2007 and 2009. |

The unrealized losses at June 30, 2006, relate principally
to declines in interest rates since the investments were
purchased. Based on managements review of the investment
portfolio, investment securities that have been in a continuous
loss position for more than 12 consecutive months are due to
changes in interest rates and as such, and since management has
the ability to hold investment securities until maturity, all
declines are deemed to be temporary.
Note 5 Junior Subordinated Debt Owed to
Unconsolidated Trusts
The Company issued $10.0 million in each of April 2002 and
April 2004 in cumulative trust preferred securities through
newly formed special-purpose trusts, Kankakee Capital
Trust I (Trust I) and Centrue Statutory Trust II
(Trust II). The proceeds of the offerings were invested by
the trusts in junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures
of Trust I and Trust II. Trust I and
Trust II are wholly-owned unconsolidated subsidiaries of
the Company, and their sole assets are the junior subordinated
deferrable interest debentures. Distributions are cumulative and
are payable quarterly at a variable rate of 3.70% and 2.65% over
the LIBOR rate, respectively, (at a rate of 9.10% and 8.05% at
June 30, 2006) per annum of the stated liquidation amount
of $1,000 per preferred security. Interest expense on the
trust preferred securities was $442,000 and $334,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and $839,000 and
$633,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. The obligations of the trusts are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, by the
Company. The trust preferred securities for Trust I are
mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the debentures on
April 7, 2032, or to the extent of any earlier redemption
of any debentures by the Company, and are callable beginning
April 7, 2007. The trust preferred securities for
Trust II are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of
the debentures on April 22, 2034, or to the extent of any
earlier redemption of any debentures by the Company, and are
callable beginning April 22, 2009. Holders of the capital
securities have no voting rights, are unsecured, and rank junior
in priority of payment to all of the Companys indebtedness
and senior to the Companys capital stock. For regulatory
purposes, the trust preferred securities qualify as Tier I
capital subject to certain provisions.

Note 6 Stock Plans
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted
SFAS 123R using the modified retrospective method to
account for share-based payments to employees and the
Companys Board of Directors. In accordance with the
modified retrospective method, the Company has adjusted
previously reported results to reflect the effect of expensing
stock options granted during those periods.
The cumulative adjustment associated with the adoption of
SFAS 123R increased the Companys deferred tax asset
$182,000, surplus $1.1 million and decreased retained
earnings $901,000 as of December 31, 2005. The results for
the second quarter and first 6 months of 2005 were also
restated to include additional compensation expense of $185,000
and $234,000, respectively. Net income after tax for the second
quarter and first six months of 2005 was decreased by $133,000
and $182,000, respectively, as a result of the restatement.
The primary type of share-based payment utilized by the Company
is stock options. Stock options are awards which allow the
employee to purchase shares of the Companys stock at a
fixed price. Stock options are granted at an exercise price
equal to the Company stock price at the date of grant. Stock
options issued by the Company generally have a contractual term
of seven to ten years and vest over five years for non-director
options and immediately at the time of issuance for director
options. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated
vesting if there is a change in control (as defined by the Plan).

2006, and changes during the six months then ended is presented

The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants
using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the key input
assumptions are described fully in the disclosure of its
critical accounting policies in Item 2 of this report on
Form 10-Q. The
Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach
utilized to develop the underlying assumptions are consistent
with SFAS 123R and appropriately estimates the fair value
of Centrues stock option grants. Estimates of fair value
are not intended to predict actual future events of the value
ultimately realized by employees who receive share-based awards,
and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness
of original estimates of fair value made by the Company under
SFAS 123R. Key assumptions for the 2006 grants are shown
below:

Note 7 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments an amendment of FASB Statements
No. 133 and 140 (FAS 155). FAS 155 permits fair
value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that
contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require
bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and
principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of
Statement 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate
interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests
that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial
instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring
bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the
form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and amends
Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying
special purpose entity from holding a derivative financial
instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than
another derivative financial instrument. FAS 155 is
effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after
the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins
after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the
adoption of FAS 155 to have a material effect on the
results of operations or the statement of condition.
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 156 Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (FAS 140
and FAS 156). FAS 140 establishes, among other things,
the accounting for all separately recognized servicing assets
and servicing liabilities. This Statement amends FAS 140 to
require that all separately recognized servicing assets and
servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if
practicable. This Statement permits, but does not require, the
subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets
and servicing liabilities at fair value. Under this Statement,
an entity can elect subsequent fair value measurement to account
for its separately recognized servicing assets and servicing
liabilities. Adoption of this Statement is required as of the
beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after
September 15, 2006. Upon adoption, the Company will apply
the requirements for recognition and initial measurement of
servicing assets and servicing liabilities prospectively to all
transactions. The Company will adopt FAS 156 for the fiscal
year beginning January 1, 2007 and currently has not
determined if it will adopt FAS 156 using the fair value
election.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and
reporting for income taxes recognized in accordance with
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the
financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and
disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be
taken in income tax returns. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of FIN 48 and is required to adopt this
Interpretation in the first quarter of 2007.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Centrue Financial Corporation
Fairview Heights, Illinois
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Centrue Financial Corporation and Subsidiary as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated
statements of income, stockholders equity, and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of Centrue Financial Corporation
and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
As described in Note 14 to the financial statements, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, effective
January 1, 2006, which was applied retrospectively to prior
periods.

Note 1. |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Through Centrue Bank (the Bank), Centrue Financial
Corporation (the Company), provides a full range of
banking services to individual and corporate customers through
its twenty locations throughout Illinois. The Bank is subject to
competition from other financial institutions and nonfinancial
institutions providing financial products. Additionally, the
Company and the Bank are subject to the regulations of certain
regulatory agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those
regulatory agencies.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank and the
Banks wholly-owned subsidiary, Centrue Service
Corporation. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America and conform to
predominate practice within the banking industry.
|
|
|
Industry Segment Information |
The primary source of income for the Company is interest from
the origination of consumer, commercial and real estate mortgage
loans along with interest on the investment in securities
portfolio. The Company accepts deposits from customers in the
normal course of business and within their primary market areas.
The Company operates primarily in the banking industry which
accounts for more than 99% of its revenues, operating income and
assets, with the remaining operations coming from activities of
the Centrue Financial Corporation and Centrue Service
Corporation. The Company uses the management
approach for reporting information about segments in the
annual and interim financial statements. The management approach
is based on the way the chief operating decision-maker organizes
segments within a Company for making operating decisions and
assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products
and services, geography, legal structure, management structure
and any other manner in which management disaggregates a
company. Based on the management approach model, the Company has
determined that its business is comprised of a single operating
segment.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions which significantly affect the amounts reported in
the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates
which are particularly susceptible to change in a short period
of time include the determination of the allowance for loan
losses and valuation of mortgage servicing rights, goodwill,
deferred tax assets and real estate held for sale. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue,
expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although
certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized
gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported
as a separate component of the equity section of the balance
sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of
comprehensive income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

Cash and Cash Equivalents |
For reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents represent
highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or
less at the time of purchase and includes cash on hand, due from
bank accounts (including cash items in process of clearing),
money market funds and federal funds sold. Cash flows from
loans, deposits and short-term borrowings are reported net.
Securities classified as available-for-sale are those securities
that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of
time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a
security classified as available-for-sale would be based on
various factors, including significant movements in interest
rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Companys assets
and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital
considerations and other similar factors. Securities
available-for-sale are carried at fair value. The difference
between fair value and cost, adjusted for amortization of
premium and accretion of discounts, results in an unrealized
gain or loss. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of the
related deferred tax effect. Gains or losses on the sale of
securities are determined on the basis of the specific security
sold and are included in earnings. Premiums and discounts are
recognized in interest income using the interest method over
their contractual lives.
Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale securities
below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are
reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating
other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers
(1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair
value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition
and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent
and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the
issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any
anticipated recovery in fair value.
Loans originated or purchased are identified as either held for
sale or portfolio at origination or purchase. Loans held for
portfolio are originated or purchased with the intent to hold
them to maturity for the purpose of earning interest income.
Since the Bank has the ability to hold such loans as intended,
they are recorded at cost. Interest is credited to income as
earned using the simple interest method applied to the daily
balances of the principal outstanding.
The accrual of interest income on loans is discontinued at the
time the loan is 90 days past due or earlier when, in the
opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to the
borrowers ability to meet payments of interest or
principal when they become due. Interest income on these loans
is recognized to the extent interest payments are received and
the principal is considered fully collectible.
Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are
being amortized as an adjustment of the yield over the
contractual life of the related loan, adjusted for prepayments,
using the interest method.
Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market
are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value, as
determined by aggregate outstanding commitments from investors
or current investor yield requirements. Net unrealized losses
are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to
income.
Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with the
mortgage servicing rights retained by the Company. The carrying
value of mortgage loans sold is reduced by the cost allocated to
the associated mortgage servicing rights. Gains or losses on
sales of mortgage loans are recognized based on the difference
between the selling price and the carrying value of the related
mortgage loans sold.

|
Allowance for Loan Losses |
The allowance for loan losses (allowance) is
established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a
provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are
charged against the allowance when management believes that the
uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent
recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance is evaluated on a regular basis by management and
is based upon managements periodic review of the
collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience,
the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations
that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, estimated
values of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic
conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it
requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision
as more information becomes available.
While management uses the best information available to make its
evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary
if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In
addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the
allowance. These agencies may require the Bank to make additions
to the allowance based on their judgments of collectibility
based on information available to them at the time of their
examination.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information
and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to
collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
Factors considered by management in determining impairment
include payment status, collateral value and the probability of
collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.
Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment
shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management
determines the significance of payment delays and payment
shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration
all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower,
including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay,
the borrowers prior payment record and the amount of the
shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.
Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial
and construction loans by either the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loans effective
interest rate, the loans obtainable market price or the
fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans are
collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company
does not separately identify individual consumer and residential
loans for impairment disclosures.
|
|
|
Real Estate Held for Sale |
Real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure represents specific assets to which the Company has
acquired legal title in satisfaction of indebtedness. Such real
estate is recorded at the lower of propertys fair value at
the date of foreclosure or cost. Initial valuation adjustments,
if any, are charged against the allowance for loan losses.
Property is evaluated regularly to ensure the recorded amount is
supported by its current fair value. Subsequent declines in
estimated fair value are charged to expense when incurred.
Revenues and expenses related to holding and operating these
properties are included in operations.
|
|
|
Office Properties and Equipment |
Office properties and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Estimated lives are 15 to 39 years for buildings
and leasehold improvements and 3 to 15 years for furniture
and equipment.
|
|
|
Non-Marketable Equity Securities |
The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Chicago (the FHLB), is required to maintain an
investment in capital stock of the FHLB in an amount equal to 1%
of its outstanding home loans.
F-65
CENTRUE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
No ready market exists for the FHLB stock, and it has no quoted
market value. For disclosure purposes, such stock is assumed to
have a market value which is equal to cost.
Intangible assets consist of core deposit intangibles from
business acquisitions. This amount is amortized into other
expense on a straight-line basis over periods of 10 to
15 years. On a periodic basis, the Company reviews the
intangible assets for events or circumstances that may indicate
a change in recoverability of the underlying basis.
Goodwill resulted from the acquisition of Coal City National
Bank in 1998, Aviston Financial Corporation in 2003, Parish
Bank & Trust Company in 2004 and Illinois Community
Bancorp in 2005. The Coal City amount was originally amortized
into expense on a straight-line basis assuming a life of twenty
years. The Company performed an annual impairment assessment on
all goodwill as of September 30th.
The cost of mortgage-servicing rights acquired is amortized in
proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing
revenues. Impairment of mortgage-servicing rights is assessed
based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are
estimated using discounted cash flows based on a current market
interest rate. For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights
are stratified based on the year of origination and original
life and compared to current market interest rates, prepayment
speeds and other relevant factors. The amount of impairment
recognized is the amount by which the capitalized mortgage
servicing rights for a stratum exceeds their fair value.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for
differences between the financial statement and tax basis of
assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible
amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates
applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected
to affect taxable income. Deferred tax assets are also
recognized for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to an amount expected to be realized. Income
tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus
or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and
liabilities.
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income for
the year by the average number of shares outstanding. Shares of
unearned restricted stock are not considered outstanding in this
calculation.
Diluted earnings per share are determined by dividing net income
for the year by the average number of shares of common stock and
dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential
common shares assume exercise of stock options and use of
proceeds to purchase treasury stock at the average market price
for the period.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation |
The Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans
which are more fully described in Note 14. The Company
accounts for its equity awards in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-based
payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires public
companies to recognize compensation expense related to
stock-based equity awards in their income statement. Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment SFAS 123R which
amends SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
Issued Employees. The Company adopted SFAS 123R using the
modified retrospective method. The modified retrospective method
requires that compensation cost be recognized beginning with the
effective date based on the requirements of SFAS 123R for
all share-based payments granted after the effective date and
based on the requirements of SFAS 123 for all awards
granted to employees prior to the effective date of
SFAS 123R. The modified retrospective method also allows
companies to adjust prior year financials based on the amounts
previously reported under the SFAS 123 pro forma
disclosures for all prior periods for which SFAS 123 was
effective.
Certain amounts in the 2004 and 2003 consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2005
presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on
previously reported net income or stockholders equity.
|
|
Note 2. |
Business Acquisitions |
On April 8, 2005, the Company acquired for 50% cash and 50%
common stock of the Company, all of the outstanding shares of
Illinois Community Bancorp, Inc (ICBI) for a total
cost of $4.1 million, including related expenses of
$744,000. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. As such, the results of operations of the
acquired entity are excluded from the consolidated financial
statements of income for the periods prior to the acquisition
date. The purchase price has been allocated based on the fair
values at the date of acquisition. This allocation resulted in
intangible assets of $424,000 and goodwill of $1.9 million.
The intangible assets are being amortized over ten years. At
closing, ICBI had assets of $29.9 million, including
$17.7 million of loans, deposits of $27.8 million and
stockholders equity of $1.3 million. This acquisition
was not considered material to the Company as a whole and
therefore, proforma information is not included.
On March 5, 2004, the Company acquired for cash all of the
outstanding shares of Parish Bank and Trust Company
(Parish Bank) for a total cost of $4.5 million,
including related expenses of $123,000. The

acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. As such, the results of operations of the acquired
entity are excluded from the consolidated financial statements
of income for the periods prior to the acquisition date. The

intangible assets are being amortized over ten years. At
closing, Parish Bank had assets of $21.5 million, including
$7.3 million of loans, deposits of $18.5 million and
stockholders equity of $2.9 million. This acquisition
was not considered material to the Company as a whole and
therefore, proforma information is not included.
On October 9, 2003, the Company acquired for stock all of
the outstanding shares of Aviston Financial Corporation
(Aviston Financial) for a total cost of
$14.1 million. The acquisition has been accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting. As such, the results of
operations of the acquired entity are excluded from the
consolidated financial statements of income for the periods
prior to the acquisition date. The purchase price has been
allocated based on the fair values at the date of acquisition.
This allocation resulted in intangible assets of $358,000 and
goodwill of $8.4 million. The intangible assets are being
amortized over ten years. At closing, Aviston Financial had
assets of $96.5 million, deposits of $80.6 million and

The amortized cost and fair value of securities classified as
available-for-sale at December 31, 2005, by contractual
maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from
contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to
prepay mortgage backed securities without prepayment penalties,
and certain securities require principal repayments prior to
maturity. Therefore, these securities and mutual fund shares are
not included in the maturity categories in the following
maturity summary.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary
impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently
when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. In
estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management
considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which
the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial
condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and
(3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its
investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to
allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
The unrealized losses on the Companys investment
securities were caused by interest rate increases. The
contractual cash flows of the municipal bonds, federal agency
and federal agency mortgage backed securities are guaranteed by
state agencies or an agency of the U.S. government.
Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be
settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the
Companys investment. The Companys corporate bonds
are all rated A1 or better by Moodys. Because the decline
in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and
not credit quality and because the Company has the ability and
intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value,
which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these
investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at
December 31, 2005.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, other borrowings of
$1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, consisted
of a note payable to an individual. The note payable bears an
imputed rate of interest of 5.25% and matures in 2012 with
semi-annual payments of $100,000, including interest.
The weighted average maturity date of Federal Home
Loan Bank advances was approximately 22 months and
25 months and the weighted average interest rates were
approximately 4.34% and 4.16% at December 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively.
At December 31, 2005 and 2004,
one-to-four family real
estate mortgage loans of approximately $181.0 million and
$181.8 million, respectively, were pledged to secure
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago.
The Company issued $10.0 million each in April 2002 and
April 2004 in cumulative trust preferred securities through
newly formed special-purpose trusts, Kankakee Capital
Trust I (Trust I) and Centrue Statutory Trust II
(Trust II). The proceeds of the offerings were invested by
the trusts in junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures
of Trust I and Trust II. Trust I and
Trust II are wholly-owned unconsolidated subsidiaries of
the Company, and their sole assets are the junior subordinated
deferrable interest debentures. Distributions are cumulative and
are payable quarterly at a variable rate of 3.70% and 2.65% over
the LIBOR rate, respectively, (at a rate of 8.15% and 7.15% at
December 31, 2005) per annum of the stated liquidation
F-75

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

amount of $1,000 per preferred security. Interest expense
on the trust preferred securities was $1.4 million,
$851,000 and $558,000 for the years ended December 31,
2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The obligations of the trusts
are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a subordinated
basis, by the Company. The trust preferred securities for
Trust I are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the
debentures on April 7, 2032, or to the extent of any
earlier redemption of any debentures by the Company, and are
callable beginning April 7, 2007. The trust preferred
securities for Trust II are mandatorily redeemable upon the
maturity of the debentures on April 22, 2034, or to the
extent of any earlier redemption of any debentures by the
Company, and are callable beginning April 22, 2009. Holders
of the capital securities have no voting rights, are unsecured,
and rank junior in priority of payment to all of the
Companys indebtedness and senior to the Companys
capital stock. For regulatory purposes, the trust preferred
securities qualify as Tier I capital subject to certain
provisions.
We established statutory trusts for the sole purpose of issuing
trust preferred securities and related trust common securities.
These trust preferred capital securities are included in our
consolidated Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital at
December 31, 2005. In December 2003, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board issued a revised version of
Interpretation No. 46 that required the deconsolidation of
these statutory trusts by most public companies no later than
March 31, 2004. We adopted the revised version of
Interpretation No. 46 as of December 31, 2003. In
March 2005, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
issued a final rule allowing bank holding companies to continue
to include qualifying trust preferred capital securities in
their Tier 1 Capital for regulatory capital purposes,
subject to a 25% limitation to all core (Tier I) capital
elements, net of goodwill less any associated deferred tax
liability. The final rule provides a five-year transition
period, ending March 31, 2009, for application of the
aforementioned quantitative limitation. As of December 31,
2005, 100% of the trust preferred securities described in
Note 13 of our audited consolidated financial statements
qualified as Tier I capital under the final rule adopted in
March 2005.
Future payments at December 31, 2005, for all long-term
borrowings were as follows:

Retained earnings at December 31, 2005 and 2004 included
approximately $9.0 million of the tax bad debt reserve
which accumulated prior to 1988, for which no deferred income
tax liability has been recognized. This amount represents an
allocation of income to bad debt deductions for tax purposes
only. Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than
tax bad debt losses or adjustments arising from carryback of net
operating losses would create income for tax purposes only,
which would be subject to the then-current corporate income tax
rate. The unrecorded deferred income tax liability on the above
amounts was approximately $3.1 million as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004.
As of December 31, 2005, the Company had Illinois net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $8.1 million
for income tax purposes. The difference between book and tax net
operating income results from interest income from certain
investments which is exempt from income tax for state income tax
purposes. The net operating loss carryforwards expire through
2015.
At December 31, 2005, the Company also had Federal net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2.8 million
for income tax purposes which expire through 2024.
Due to limitations inherent in the tax laws regarding
utilization of net operating losses and uncertainty as to the
Companys ability to utilize the net operating losses
before they expire, the Company has established valuation
allowances of $963,000 and $229,000 against the federal and
state net operating losses, respectively.

Note 13. |
Stockholders Equity and Regulatory Capital |
The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject
to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the
federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum
capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory
and possibly additional discretionary actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material
effect on the Company and the Banks financial statements.
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework
for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures
of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company
and the Banks capital amounts and classifications are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt
corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding
companies.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure
capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain
minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of
Tier 1 capital (as defined by the regulations) to average
assets (as defined) and Total and Tier I capital (as
defined) to risk-weighted
F-78
CENTRUE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
assets (as defined). Management believes, as of
December 31, 2005, that the Company and the Bank meet all
capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 2005, the most recent notification from
the Banks primary regulators, categorized the Bank as well
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must
maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and
Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below.
There are no conditions or events since that notification that
management believes have changed the Banks category.

A liquidation account in the amount of $17.7 million was
established for the benefit of eligible deposit account holders
who continue to maintain their deposit accounts in the Bank
after the December 30, 1992 conversion from a mutual
savings and loan association to a stock savings bank. In the
unlikely event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, each
eligible deposit account holder would be entitled to receive a
liquidation distribution from the liquidation account, in the
proportionate amount of the then-current adjusted balance for
deposit accounts held, before any distribution may be made with
respect to the Banks capital stock. The Bank may not
declare or pay a cash dividend to the Company on, or repurchase
any of, its capital stock if the effect thereof would cause the
net worth of the Bank to be reduced below the amount required
for the liquidation account. Due to various natural events, such
as death, relocation and general attrition of accounts, the
balance in the liquidation account has been reduced to $861,000
as of December 31, 2005.
Federal and state banking regulations place certain restrictions
on dividends paid by the Bank to the Company. At
December 31, 2005, the Banks retained earnings
available for payment of dividends was
F-79

STATEMENTS (Continued)
$481,000. In addition, dividends paid by the Bank to the Company
would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the
Banks capital to be reduced below applicable minimum
capital requirements.

Note 14. |
Officer, Director and Employee Plans |
The Bank sponsors a qualified, tax-exempt deferred contribution
plan qualifying under section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code (the 401(k) Plan). Virtually all
employees are eligible to participate after meeting certain age
and service requirements. Eligible employees are permitted to
contribute 1% to 50% of their compensation to the 401(k) Plan.
The Company also has the option to contribute discretionary
profit sharing contributions. Expense related to the 401(k)
Plan, including plan administration, amounted to approximately
$159,000, $108,000 and $309,000, for the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The Company formerly had an Employee Stock Ownership (the
ESOP) plan which during 2004, was merged into the
Companys 401(k) Plan. All participant balances were
considered 100% vested upon the merger. During 2003, the Company
made a direct cash contribution totaling $120,000, to the ESOP.
Costs related to the merger of the ESOP into the 401(k) during
2004 amounted to approximately $17,000.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted
SFAS 123R using the modified retrospective method to
account for share-based payments to employees and the
Companys Board of Directors. In accordance with the
modified retrospective method, the Company has adjusted
previously reported results to reflect the effect of expensing
stock options granted during those periods.
The following table summarizes the impact of modified
retrospective application on the previously reported results for
the period shown:

The primary type of share-based payment utilized by the Company
is stock options. Stock options are awards which allow the
employee to purchase shares of the Companys stock at a
fixed price. Stock options are granted at an exercise price
equal to the Companys stock price at the date of grant.
Stock options issued by the Company generally have a contractual
tern of seven to ten years and vest over five years for
non-director options and immediately at the time of issuance for
director options. Certain option and share awards provide for
accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined
by the Plan).

The fair value of the stock options granted in 2005, 2004 and
2003 has been estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model with the following weighted average assumptions. The
Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options which have no
vesting restrictions. In addition, such models require the use
of subjective assumptions, including expected stock price
volatility. In managements opinion, such valuation models
may not necessarily provide the best single measure of option
value.

Stockholders Rights Plan |
On May 14, 1999, the Companys Board of Directors
adopted a Stockholders Rights Plan. The Plan provided for
the distribution of one Right on June 15, 1999, for each
share of the Companys outstanding
F-81
CENTRUE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
common stock as of May 24, 1999. The Rights have no
immediate economic value to stockholders because they cannot be
exercised unless and until a person, group or entity acquires
15% or more of the Companys common stock or announces a
tender offer. The Plan also permits the Companys Board of
Directors to redeem each Right for one cent under various
circumstances.
In general, the Rights Plan provides that if a person, group or
entity acquires a 15% or larger stake in the Company or
announces a tender offer, and the Companys Board chooses
not to redeem the Rights, all holders of Rights, other than the
15% stockholder or the tender offeror, will be able to purchase
a certain amount of the Companys common stock for half of
its market price.
During 2005 and 2004, the Company issued restricted stock awards
to certain employees and directors. The shares vest from one to
five-year periods. As the shares vest, they will be charged to
compensation expense at the market price at date of grant.

Compensation expense is recognized for financial statement
purposes over the period of performance. Compensation expense of
$209,000 and $225,000 was recognized for the year ended

Directors Deferred Compensation Plan |
The Company has a deferred compensation plan for nonemployee
directors of the Company in which a participating director may
defer directors fees in the form of phantom stock
units. For directors electing to participate in the plan,
a deferred compensation account, included in other liabilities
on the consolidated balance sheet, is credited with phantom
stock units. Phantom stock units shall also be increased by any
dividends or stock splits declared by the Company. At
December 31, 2005 and 2004, the liability for deferred
compensation was $268,000 and $101,000 which represented
approximately 10,149 and 3,585 phantom stock units, respectively.
|
|
Note 15. |
Commitments and Contingencies |
In the normal course of business, there are outstanding various
contingent liabilities such as claims and legal actions, which
are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. In
the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these
matters is not expected to have a material effect on the
financial position or on the results of operations of the
Company and its subsidiary.
|
|
Note 16. |
Financial Instruments |
The Bank is party to financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet
the financing needs of its customers. These financial
instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby
letters of credit, and financial guarantees. Those instruments
involve, to varying degrees, elements of
F-82
CENTRUE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
credit and interest rate risk. The contract or notional amounts
of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank
has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Banks exposure to credit loss, in the event of
nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments
for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit,
is represented by the contractual notional amount of those
instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making
commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance-sheet instruments.
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit
risk follows:

|

Such commitments are recorded in the financial statements when
they are funded or related fees are incurred or received. These
commitments are principally at variable interest rates.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a
customer as long as there is no violation of any condition
established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require
payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do
not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments
issued by the bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to
a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support
public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial
paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. In the
event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms
of the agreement with the third party, the Bank would be
required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of
future payments the Bank could be required to make is
represented by the contractual amount shown in the summary
above. If the commitment is funded, the Bank would be entitled
to seek recovery from the customer. At December 31, 2005
and 2004, no amounts have been recorded as liabilities for the
Banks potential obligations under these guarantees.
The Company and the Bank do not engage in the use of interest
rate swaps, futures, forwards, or option contracts.

The fair values utilized in the table were derived using the
information described below for the group of instruments listed.
It should be noted that the fair values disclosed in this table
do not represent market values of all assets and liabilities of
the Company and, thus, should not be interpreted to represent a
market or liquidation value for the Company.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company
in estimating the fair value disclosures for financial
instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit:
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and
short-term instruments approximate those assets fair
values.
Investment securities: Fair values for securities are
based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market
prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market
prices of comparable instruments. The carrying amounts of
accrued interest approximate their fair values.
Nonmarketable equity securities: Those securities are
carried at cost, as fair values are not readily determinable.
Loans: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently
and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are
based on carrying values. The fair values for fixed-rate loans
are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest
rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to
borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying amounts of
accrued interest approximate their fair value.
Loans held for sale: Fair values are based on quoted
market price.
Off-balance-sheet instruments: Fair values for the
Banks off-balance-sheet instruments (guarantees and loan
commitments) are based on fees currently charged to enter into
similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of
the agreements and the counterparties credit standing. The
fair value for such commitments is nominal.

CENTRUE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits
are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the
balance sheet date. The carrying amounts for variable-rate,
fixed-term money market accounts approximate their fair values
at the balance sheet date. Fair values for fixed-rate
certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash
flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being
offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected
monthly maturities on time deposits. The carrying amounts of
advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance
approximate their fair value.
Short-term borrowings: The carrying amounts of federal
funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements,
and other short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days
approximate their fair values.
Long-term borrowings: Rates currently available to the
Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are
used to estimate fair value of existing debt. The
Trust Preferred Debentures are privately held; therefore
the carrying amount approximates fair value.
Accrued interest payable: The carrying amounts of accrued
interest payable approximate their fair value.
On February 14, 2003, the Company sold its Hoopeston bank
branch at a premium resulting in a gain of $478,000. The branch
had approximately $6.4 million in loans and
$19.4 million in deposits.

Bank Merger. Union and Centrue agree to cooperate and to take
such steps as may be necessary to obtain all requisite
regulatory, corporate and other approvals to effect the Bank
Merger, subject to the consummation of, and to be effective
concurrently with, the Merger or as soon as practicable
A-8
thereafter. The resulting bank shall be Union, provided,
however, that the name of the Resulting Bank will be
Centrue Bank. In furtherance of such agreement, each

|
|
|
(a) respectively, to cause the board of directors of each
of Centrue Bank and UnionBank to approve the Bank Merger and to
submit the same to its respective sole stockholder for approval; |

Merger; and |
|
|
(c) to take, or cause to be taken, all steps necessary to
consummate the Bank Merger at the Effective Time or as soon
thereafter as is reasonably practicable. |
The Bank Merger shall be accomplished pursuant to a merger
agreement containing such terms and conditions as are ordinary
and customary for affiliated bank merger transactions of such
type. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary:
(x) the Bank Merger will be effective no earlier than the
Effective Time; and (y) none of Unions or
Centrues actions in connection with the Bank Merger will
unreasonably interfere with any of the operations of Centrue,
Centrue Bank, Union or UnionBank prior to the Effective Time.
Section 2.11 Absence
of Control. Subject to any specific provisions of this
Agreement, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement
that neither Union nor Centrue by reason of this Agreement shall
be deemed (until consummation of the Contemplated Transactions)
to control, directly or indirectly, the other party or any of
its respective Subsidiaries and shall not exercise, or be deemed
to exercise, directly or indirectly, a controlling influence
over the management or policies of such other party or any of
its respective Subsidiaries.
ARTICLE 3
CONVERSION OF SECURITIES IN THE MERGER
Section 3.1 Manner
of Merger.
(a) By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the
part of Union, each share of Union Common Stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
unaffected by the Merger and shall thereafter represent one
share of stock of the Surviving Corporation. By virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of Union, each share
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value (the
Series A Stock), and each share of
Series B Preferred Stock, no par value (the
Series B Stock), of Union issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
unaffected by the Merger and shall thereafter represent one
share of Series A Stock or Series B Stock,
respectively, of the Surviving Corporation.
(b) Subject to the provisions of this Article, by virtue of
the Merger and without any action on the part of Union or
Centrue, or the holder of any Centrue Common Stock, each share
of Centrue Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time, including each share of Centrue Common
Stock that is to be paid out at the Effective Time under the
Centrue Deferred Compensation Plan, shall become and
automatically be converted into 1.2 shares of Union Common
Stock (the Exchange Ratio), and shall
thereafter represent the right to receive and be exchangeable
for such number of shares, rounded to the nearest thousandth of
a share of Union Common Stock (the Exchange
Shares); provided, however, that all shares of
Centrue Common Stock held by Centrue as treasury stock shall not
be converted into shares of Union Common Stock, but instead
shall be canceled as a result of the Merger.
(c) After the Effective Time, no holder of Centrue Common
Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time will have any rights in respect of such Centrue
Common Stock except to receive shares of Union Common Stock for
the shares of Centrue Common Stock converted as provided in this
Section, plus an amount in cash, as provided below, for any
fractional share of Union Common Stock that such holder would
have been entitled to receive.
(d) If, subject to Section 7.15, Union declares
a stock dividend, stock split or other general distribution of
Union Common Stock to holders of Union Common Stock and the
ex-dividend or ex-distribution date for such stock dividend,
stock split or distribution occurs at any time after the date of
this Agreement and prior to
A-9
the Closing, then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted by
multiplying it by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which
shall be the total number of shares of Union Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such dividend, split or
distribution; and (ii) the denominator of which shall be
the total number of shares of Union Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such dividend, split, or distribution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to
Section 7.15, no adjustment shall be made to the
Exchange Ratio: (A) in the event of the issuance of
additional shares of Union Common Stock pursuant to the grant or
sale of shares to, or for the account of, employees of Union
pursuant to the Union Stock Option Plans, or Unions
qualified and non-qualified retirement and dividend reinvestment
plans; or (B) in the event of the issuance of additional
shares of Union Common Stock or other securities pursuant to a
public offering, private placement or an acquisition of one or
more banks, corporations or business assets for consideration
which the board of directors, or a duly authorized committee of
the board of directors, of Union in its reasonable business
judgment determines to be fair and reasonable.
(e) If, subject to Section 6.12, Centrue
declares a stock dividend, stock split or other general
distribution of Centrue Common Stock to holders of Centrue
Common Stock and the ex-dividend or ex-distribution date for
such stock dividend, stock split or distribution occurs at any
time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing,
then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted by multiplying it by a
fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the total
number of shares of Centrue Common Stock outstanding immediately
prior to such dividend, split or distribution; and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of
Centrue Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
dividend, split, or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
and subject to Section 6.12, no adjustment shall be
made to the Exchange Ratio: (A) in the event of the
issuance of additional shares of Centrue Common Stock pursuant
to the grant or sale of shares to, or for the account of,
employees of Centrue pursuant to the Centrue Stock Incentive
Plan, or Centrues qualified and non-qualified retirement
and dividend reinvestment plans; or (B) in the event of the
issuance of additional shares of Centrue Common Stock or other
securities pursuant to a public offering, private placement or
an acquisition of one or more banks, corporations or business
assets for consideration which the board of directors, or a duly
authorized committee of the board of directors, of Centrue in
its reasonable business judgment determines to be fair and
reasonable.
Section 3.2 Steps
of Transaction.
(a) The parties shall mutually select a Person to serve as
exchange agent (the Exchange Agent) for the
parties to effect the surrender of certificates representing
outstanding shares of Centrue Common Stock (the
Certificates) in exchange for Union Common
Stock and/or cash in redemption of fractional shares. The
Exchange Agent shall serve under the terms of an exchange agent
agreement reasonably acceptable to both parties. No later than
five Business Days after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent
shall mail or cause to be mailed to each then current holder of
record of a Certificate or Certificates a form of transmittal
letter (the Letter of Transmittal) providing
instructions for the transmittal of the Certificates and shall
specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and
title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the
Certificates (or a lost certificate affidavit and a bond in a
form reasonably acceptable to the Surviving Corporation).
(b) The Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange
Agent to deliver promptly to each holder of Centrue Common Stock
who submits a properly completed Letter of Transmittal
accompanied by the Certificates covered by such Letter of
Transmittal: (i) certificates representing the number of
whole shares of Union Common Stock into which the shares of
Centrue Common Stock previously represented by the Certificates
so surrendered were converted; plus (ii) an amount in cash,
as provided below, for any fractional share of Union Common
Stock that such holder would have been entitled to receive.
(c) Within sixty days after the Effective Time, the
Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to send to
each holder of record of Centrue Common Stock immediately prior
to the Effective Time who has not previously submitted his or
her Certificates, an additional Letter of Transmittal for use in
surrendering Certificates to the Exchange Agent and instructions
for use in effecting such surrender in exchange for shares of
Union Common Stock and cash for any fractional shares.
A-10
(d) No dividends or other distributions declared after the
Effective Time with respect to Union Common Stock and payable in
respect of shares of Centrue Common Stock held by any former
stockholder of record of Centrue shall be paid to a former
stockholder of Centrue who holds any unsurrendered Certificate
with respect to Centrue Common Stock until the stockholder shall
surrender the Certificate. Until so surrendered and exchanged,
each outstanding Certificate shall for all purposes, including
the exercise of voting rights, but not including the payment of
dividends or other distributions, if any, in respect of shares
of Centrue Common Stock held by former holders of record of
shares of Centrue Common Stock, represent the shares of Union
Common Stock into and for which such shares have been so
converted; provided, however, that upon surrender of a
Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder or holders
of the Certificate, the amount, without interest thereon, of
such dividends and other distributions, if any, which previously
have become payable with respect to the number of whole shares
of Union Common Stock represented by such Certificate.
(e) No fractional shares of Union Common Stock shall be
issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates; no
dividend or distribution of Union shall relate to any fractional
share interest; and such fractional share interests will not
entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a
stockholder of Union. Instead, each holder of shares of Centrue
Common Stock having a fractional interest in shares of Union
Common Stock arising upon the conversion of such shares of
Centrue Common Stock shall, at the time of surrender of the
Certificates, be paid by the Surviving Corporation an amount in
cash, without interest, determined by multiplying such
fractional share of Union Common Stock by the average of the
closing sale prices of Union Common Stock for the five trading
days immediately following the Closing Date.
(f) All shares of Union Common Stock, and any required cash
payments for fractional shares, into and for which shares of
Centrue Common Stock shall have been converted and exchanged
pursuant to this Agreement, shall be deemed to have been issued
in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such converted
and exchanged shares of Centrue Common Stock.
(g) At the Effective Time, Centrue shall deliver to the
Exchange Agent a certified copy of a list of its stockholders,
after which there shall be no further registration or transfers
on the stock transfer books of Centrue of the shares of Centrue
Common Stock, all of which were outstanding immediately prior to
the Effective Time. If after the Effective Time Certificates
representing shares of Centrue Common Stock are presented to the
Exchange Agent or Union, they shall be canceled and converted
into shares of Union Common Stock as provided in this Agreement.
(h) If a certificate representing shares of Union Common
Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the
Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it
shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the
Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed,
accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect
such transfer and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that
the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to Union any
transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a
certificate representing shares of Union Common Stock in any
name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate
surrendered, or otherwise required, or shall establish to the
satisfaction of Union that such Tax has been paid or is not
payable.
Section 3.3 Tax
Free Reorganization. The parties to this Agreement
intend for the Merger to qualify as a nontaxable reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) and related
sections of the Code and agree to cooperate and to take such
actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure such result and
no party shall file any Tax Return or take any action or
position inconsistent therewith, except as required pursuant to
any Legal Requirement.
Section 3.4 Options;
Restricted Stock.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Centrue shall take all
action necessary (including causing the board of directors or
any committee thereof to take such actions as are allowed by the
Centrue Stock Incentive Plan) to provide that each Centrue Stock
Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time, other than any Centrue Stock Options that are granted as
provided in the Daiber Employment Agreement or in
Exhibit G, shall vest upon the Effective Time and
become free of all restrictions. At and after the Effective
Time, each Centrue Stock Option that is outstanding and
unexercised immediately prior thereto shall cease to
A-11
represent a right to acquire shares of Centrue Common Stock and
shall be converted automatically into an option to acquire
shares of Union Common Stock (the Centrue Converted
Stock Options) in an amount and at an exercise price
determined as provided below and otherwise subject to the terms
of the agreements evidencing the grants of such options:
|
|
|
(i) the number of shares of Union Common Stock to be
subject to each Centrue Converted Stock Option shall be equal to
the product of the number of shares of Centrue Common Stock
subject to the original option and the Exchange Ratio,
provided that any fractional shares of Union Common Stock
shall be rounded up to the next highest whole share; and |
|
|
(ii) the exercise price per share of Union Common Stock
under the Centrue Converted Stock Option shall be equal to the
exercise price per share of Centrue Common Stock under the
original option divided by the Exchange Ratio, provided
that such exercise price shall be rounded to the nearest
whole cent; |
(b) The adjustment provided in this Section with respect to
any options that are incentive stock options (as
defined in Section 422 of the Code), shall be and is
intended to be effected in a manner which is consistent with
Section 424(a) of the Code. The duration and other terms of
the Centrue Converted Stock Options shall be the same as the
original option except that all references to Centrue shall be
deemed to be references to the Surviving Corporation.
(c) Prior to the Effective Time, Centrue shall take all
action necessary (including causing the board of directors or
any committee thereof to take such actions as are allowed by the
Centrue Stock Incentive Plan) to provide that each share of
Centrue Restricted Stock that is outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall vest upon the Effective Time and
become free of all restrictions. At the Effective Time, each
share of Centrue Restricted Stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into
the right to receive the Exchange Shares as provided in and in
accordance with the terms set forth in Section 3.1.
(d) Prior to the Effective Time, Union shall take all
action necessary (including causing the board of directors or
any committee thereof to take such actions as are allowed by the
Union Stock Option Plans) to provide that each Union Stock
Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time, other than any Union Stock Options that are granted as
provided in the Yeoman Employment Agreement, the Stevenson
Employment Agreement or in Exhibit G, shall vest
upon the Effective Time and become free of all restrictions. At
and after the Effective Time, each Union Stock Option that is
outstanding and unexercised immediately prior thereto shall
otherwise be unaffected by the Merger and shall thereafter
continue to represent a right to acquire shares of Union Common
Stock subject to the terms of the agreements evidencing the
grants of such options.

the aggregate in nature or in cost. Except where any failure
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect on Centrue on a consolidated basis, the real property,
buildings, structures and equipment owned or leased by Centrue
and each Centrue Subsidiary are in compliance with the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, and the regulations
promulgated thereunder, and all other building and development
codes and other restrictions, including subdivision regulations,
building and construction regulations, drainage codes, health,
fire and safety laws and regulations, utility tariffs and
regulations, conservation laws and zoning laws and ordinances.
The assets and properties, whether real or personal, tangible or
intangible, that Centrue or any Centrue Subsidiary purport to
own or lease are sufficient for the continued conduct of the
business of Centrue and each Centrue Subsidiary after the
Closing in substantially the same manner as conducted prior to
the Closing.
Section 4.11 Loans;
Loan Loss Reserve. All loans and loan commitments
extended by Centrue Bank and any extensions, renewals or
continuations of such loans and loan commitments (the
Centrue Loans) were made materially in
accordance with the lending policies of Centrue Bank in the
Ordinary Course of Business. The Centrue Loans are evidenced by
appropriate and sufficient documentation and constitute valid
and binding obligations to Centrue Bank enforceable in
accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws
affecting creditors rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity. All such Centrue Loans are, and at
the Closing will be, free and clear of any encumbrance or other
charge, except for pledges or liens required to be granted
pursuant to borrowings from Federal Home Loan Banks, and
Centrue Bank has complied, and at the Closing will have complied
with all Legal Requirements relating to such Centrue Loans,
except where any such failure to comply would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Centrue on a
consolidated basis. The allowance for loan and lease losses of
Centrue Bank is and will be on the Closing Date adequate in all
material respects to provide for possible or specific losses,
net of recoveries relating to loans previously charged off, and
contains and will contain an additional amount of unallocated
reserves for unanticipated future losses at an adequate level.
To the Knowledge of Centrue: (a) none of the Centrue Loans
is subject to any material offset or claim of offset; and
(b) the aggregate loan balances in excess of Centrues
consolidated allowance for loan and lease losses are, based on
past loan loss experience, collectible in accordance with their
terms and all uncollectible loans have been charged off.
Section 4.12 Undisclosed
Liabilities; Adverse Changes. Except as set forth on
Schedule 4.12, neither Centrue nor any Centrue
Subsidiary has any material liabilities or obligations of any
nature (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise),
except for liabilities or obligations reflected or reserved
against in the Centrue Financial Statements and current
liabilities incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business since
the respective dates thereof. Since the date of the latest
Centrue Financial Statement, there has not been any change in
the business, operations, properties, prospects, assets or
condition of Centrue or any Centrue Subsidiary, and, to
Centrues Knowledge, no event has occurred or circumstance
exists, that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Centrue on a consolidated basis.
Section 4.13 Taxes.
Centrue and each Centrue Subsidiary has duly filed all material
Tax Returns required to be filed by it, and each such Tax Return
is complete and accurate in all material respects. Centrue and
each Centrue Subsidiary has paid, or made adequate provision for
the payment of, all Taxes (whether or not reflected in Tax
Returns as filed or to be filed) due and payable by Centrue or
any Centrue Subsidiary, or claimed to be due and payable by any
Regulatory Authority, and is not delinquent in the payment of
any Tax, except such Taxes as are being contested in good faith
and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. There is
no claim or assessment pending or, to the Knowledge of Centrue,
Threatened against Centrue or any Centrue Subsidiary for any
Taxes owed by any of them. Except as set forth on Schedule
4.13, no audit, examination or investigation related to
Taxes paid or payable by Centrue or any Centrue Subsidiary is
presently being conducted or, to the Knowledge of Centrue,
Threatened by any Regulatory Authority. Centrue has delivered to
Union true, correct and complete copies of all Tax Returns
previously filed with respect to the last three fiscal years by

reports and statements of deficiencies assessed or agreed to for
any of Centrue or any Centrue Subsidiary for any such time
period.

Section 4.14 Compliance
with ERISA. Except as set forth on
Schedule 4.14, all employee benefit plans (as
defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) established or maintained
by Centrue or any Centrue Subsidiary or to which Centrue or any
Centrue Subsidiary contributes, are in compliance with all
applicable requirements of ERISA, and are in compliance with all
applicable requirements (including qualification and
non-discrimination requirements in effect as of the Closing) of
the Code for obtaining the Tax benefits the Code thereupon
permits with respect to such employee benefit plans. No such
employee benefit plan has any amount of unfunded benefit
liabilities (as defined in Section 4001(a)(18) of ERISA)
for which Centrue or any Centrue Subsidiary would be liable to
any Person under Title IV of ERISA if any such employee
benefit plan were terminated as of the Closing. Such employee
benefit plans are funded in accordance with Section 412 of
the Code (if applicable). There would be no obligations of
Centrue or any Centrue Subsidiary under Title IV of ERISA
relating to any such employee benefit plan that is a
multi-employer plan if any such plan were terminated or if
Centrue or such Centrue Subsidiary withdrew from any such plan
as of the Closing. All contributions and premium payments due
prior to the date hereof have been made, and all contributions
and premium payments due prior to Closing will be made, by
Centrue or any Centrue Subsidiary, as applicable, on a timely
basis.

Subsidiary is, and at all times since January 1, 2003, has
been, in compliance with each Legal Requirement that is or was
applicable to it or to the conduct or operation of its
respective businesses or the ownership or use of any of its
respective assets, except where the failure to comply would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on
Centrue on a consolidated basis. No event has occurred or
circumstance exists that (with or without notice or lapse of
time): (a) may constitute or result in a violation by
Centrue or any Centrue Subsidiary of, or a failure on the part
of Centrue or any Centrue Subsidiary to comply with, any Legal
Requirement; or (b) may give rise to any obligation on the
part of Centrue or any Centrue Subsidiary to undertake, or to
bear all or any portion of the cost of, any remedial action of
any nature in connection with a failure to comply with any Legal
Requirement; except, in either case, where the failure to comply
or the violation would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Centrue on a consolidated basis.
Except as set forth on Schedule 4.15, neither
Centrue nor any Centrue Subsidiary has received, at any time
since January 1, 2003, any notice or other communication
(whether oral or written) from any Regulatory Authority or any
other Person regarding: (x) any actual, alleged, possible,
or potential violation of, or failure to comply with, any Legal
Requirement; or (y) any actual, alleged, possible, or
potential obligation on the part of Centrue or any Centrue

operations of Union and the Union Subsidiaries at the respective
dates of and for the periods referred to in the Union Financial
Statements, subject to normal year-end non-material audit
adjustments in the case of unaudited Union Financial Statements.
The Union Financial Statements do not include any material
assets or omit to state any material liabilities, absolute or
contingent, or other facts, which inclusion or omission would
render the Union Financial Statements misleading in any material
respect as of the respective dates and for the periods referred
to in the respective Union Financial Statements.
Section 5.8 Books
and Records. The books of account, minute books, stock
record books and other records of Union and each Union
Subsidiary are complete and correct in all material respects and
have been maintained in accordance with Unions business
practices and all applicable Legal Requirements, including the
maintenance of any adequate system of internal controls required
by the Legal Requirements. The minute books of Union and each
Union Subsidiary contain accurate and complete records in all
material respects of all meetings held of, and corporate action
taken by, its respective stockholders, boards of directors and
committees of the boards of directors. At the Closing, all of
those books and records will be in the possession of Union and
the Union Subsidiaries. Union has provided Centrue with full and
complete access to unredacted copies of all finally approved
minutes of the meetings of Unions board of directors held
in 2005 and 2006.
Section 5.9 Title
to Properties. Union and each Union Subsidiary has good
and marketable title to all assets and properties, whether real
or personal, tangible or intangible, that it purports to own,
subject to no valid liens, mortgages, security interests,
encumbrances or charges of any kind except: (a) as noted in
the most recent Union Financial Statement or on
Schedule 5.9; (b) statutory liens for Taxes not
yet delinquent or being contested in good faith by appropriate
Proceedings and for which appropriate reserves have been
established and reflected on the Union Financial Statements;
(c) pledges or liens required to be granted in connection
with the acceptance of government deposits, granted in
connection with repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements,
pursuant to borrowings from Federal Home Loan Banks or
Federal Reserve Banks or otherwise incurred in the Ordinary
Course of Business; and (d) minor defects and
irregularities in title and encumbrances that do not materially
impair the use thereof for the purposes for which they are held.
Except as set forth on Schedule 5.9, Union and each
Union Subsidiary as lessee has the right under valid and
existing leases to occupy, use, possess and control any and all
of the respective property leased by it. Except where any
failure would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect on Union on a consolidated basis, all buildings
and structures owned by Union and each Union Subsidiary lie
wholly within the boundaries of the real property owned or
validly leased by it, and do not encroach upon the property of,
or otherwise conflict with the property rights of, any other
Person.
Section 5.10 Condition
and Sufficiency of Assets. The buildings, structures and
equipment of Union and each Union Subsidiary are structurally
sound, are in good operating condition and repair, and are
adequate for the uses to which they are being put, and none of
such buildings, structures or equipment is in need of
maintenance or repairs except for ordinary, routine maintenance
and repairs that are not material in the aggregate in nature or
in cost. Except where any failure would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Union on a
consolidated basis, the real property, buildings, structures and
equipment owned or leased by Union and each Union Subsidiary are
in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990,
as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and all
other building and development codes and other restrictions,
including subdivision regulations, building and construction
regulations, drainage codes, health, fire and safety laws and
regulations, utility tariffs and regulations, conservation laws
and zoning laws and ordinances. The assets and properties,
whether real or personal, tangible or intangible, that Union or
any Union Subsidiary purport to own or lease are sufficient for
the continued conduct of the business of Union and each Union
Subsidiary after the Closing in substantially the same manner as
conducted prior to the Closing.
Section 5.11 Loan
Loss Reserve. All loans and loan commitments extended by
UnionBank and any extensions, renewals or continuations of such
loans and loan commitments (the Union Loans)
were made materially in accordance with the lending policies of
UnionBank in the Ordinary Course of Business. The Union Loans
are evidenced by appropriate and sufficient documentation and
constitute valid and binding obligations to UnionBank
enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other laws affecting creditors rights
generally and subject to general principles of equity. All such
Union Loans are, and at the Closing will be, free and clear of
any
A-26
encumbrance or other charge, except for pledges or liens
required to be granted pursuant to borrowings from Federal Home
Loan Banks or Federal Reserve Banks, and UnionBank has
complied, and at the Closing will have complied with, all Legal
Requirements relating to such Union Loans, except where any such
failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Union on a consolidated basis. The
allowance for loan and lease losses of UnionBank is, and will be
on the Closing Date, adequate in all material respects to
provide for probable or specific losses, net of recoveries
relating to loans previously charged off, and continuous and
contains and will contain an additional amount of unallocated
reserves for unanticipated future losses at an adequate level.
To the Knowledge of Union: (a) none of the Union Loans is
subject to any material offset or claim of offset; and
(b) the aggregate loan balances in excess of Unions
consolidated allowance for loan and lease losses are based on
past loan loss experience, collectible in accordance with their
terms (except as limited above) and all uncollectible loans have
been charged off.
Section 5.12 Undisclosed
Liabilities; Adverse Changes. Except as set forth on
Schedule 5.12, neither Union nor any Union
Subsidiary has any material liabilities or obligations of any
nature (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise),
except for liabilities or obligations reflected or reserved
against in the Union Financial Statements, and current
liabilities incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business since
the respective dates thereof. Since the date of the latest Union
Financial Statement, there has not been any change in the
business, operations, properties, prospects, assets or condition
of Union or any Union Subsidiary, and, to Unions
Knowledge, no event has occurred or circumstance exists, that
has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material
Adverse Effect on Union on a consolidated basis.
Section 5.13 Taxes.
Union and each Union Subsidiary has duly filed all material Tax
Returns required to be filed by it, and each such Tax Return is
complete and accurate in all material respects. Union and each
Union Subsidiary has paid, or made adequate provision for the
payment of, all Taxes (whether or not reflected in Tax Returns
as filed or to be filed) due and payable by Union or any Union
Subsidiary, or claimed to be due and payable by any Regulatory
Authority, and is not delinquent in the payment of any Tax,
except such Taxes as are being contested in good faith and as to
which adequate reserves have been provided. There is no claim or
assessment pending or, to the Knowledge of Union, Threatened
against Union or any Union Subsidiary for any Taxes owed by any
of them. No audit, examination or investigation related to Taxes
paid or payable by Union or any Union Subsidiary is presently
being conducted or, to the Knowledge of Union, Threatened by any
Regulatory Authority. Union has delivered to Union true, correct
and complete copies of all Tax Returns previously filed with
respect to the last three fiscal years by Union and each Union
Subsidiary and any Tax examination reports and statements of
deficiencies assessed or agreed to for any of Union or any Union
Subsidiary for any such time period.
Section 5.14 Compliance
With ERISA. Except as set forth on
Schedule 5.14, all employee benefit plans (as
defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) established or maintained
by Union or any Union Subsidiary or to which Union or any Union
Subsidiary contributes, are in compliance with all applicable
requirements of ERISA, and are in compliance with all applicable
requirements (including qualification and non-discrimination
requirements in effect as of the Closing) of the Code for
obtaining the Tax benefits the Code thereupon permits with
respect to such employee benefit plans. No such employee benefit
plan has any amount of unfunded benefit liabilities (as defined
in Section 4001(a)(18) of ERISA) for which Union or any
Union Subsidiary would be liable to any Person under
Title IV of ERISA if any such employee benefit plan were
terminated as of the Closing. Such employee benefit plans are
funded in accordance with Section 412 of the Code (if
applicable). There would be no obligations of Union or any Union
Subsidiary under Title IV of ERISA relating to any such
employee benefit plan that is a multi-employer plan if any such
plan were terminated or if Union or such Union Subsidiary
withdrew from any such plan as of the Closing. All contributions
and premium payments due prior to the date hereof have been
made, and all contributions and premium payments due prior to
Closing will be made by Union or any Union Subsidiary, as
applicable, on a timely basis.
Section 5.15 Compliance
With Legal Requirements. Union and each Union Subsidiary
holds all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and rights
from all appropriate Regulatory Authorities necessary for the
conduct of its respective business. Except as set forth on
Schedule 5.15, Union and each Union Subsidiary is,
and at all times since January 1, 2003, has been, in
compliance with each Legal Requirement that is or was
A-27
applicable to it or to the conduct or operation of its
respective businesses or the ownership or use of any of its
respective assets, except where the failure to comply would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on
Union on a consolidated basis. No event has occurred or
circumstance exists that (with or without notice or lapse of
time): (a) may constitute or result in a violation by Union
or any Union Subsidiary of, or a failure on the part of Union or
any Union Subsidiary to comply with, any Legal Requirement; or
(b) may give rise to any obligation on the part of Union or
any Union Subsidiary to undertake, or to bear all or any portion
of the cost of, any remedial action of any nature in connection
with a failure to comply with any Legal Requirement; except, in
either case, where the failure to comply or the violation would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on
Union on a consolidated basis. Except as set forth on
Schedule 5.15, neither Union nor any Union
Subsidiary has received, at any time since January 1, 2003,
any notice or other communication (whether oral or written) from
any Regulatory Authority or any other Person, nor does Union
have any Knowledge, regarding: (x) any actual, alleged,
possible or potential violation of, or failure to comply with,
any Legal Requirement; or (y) any actual, alleged,
possible, or potential obligation on the part of Union or any
Union Subsidiary to undertake, or to bear all or any portion of
the cost of, any remedial action of any nature in connection
with a failure to comply with any Legal Requirement, except

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on
Union on a consolidated basis
Section 5.16 Legal
Proceedings; Orders.

terminated and that would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on Union on a consolidated basis, and
there is no fact to Unions Knowledge that would provide a
basis for any such Proceeding or Order. To the Knowledge of
Union, no officer, director, agent or employee of Union or any
Union Subsidiary is subject to any Order that prohibits such
officer, director, agent or employee from engaging in or
continuing any conduct, activity or practice relating to the
businesses of Union or any Union Subsidiary as currently
conducted.

after giving effect to any amendment thereto filed prior to the
date hereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact
A-32
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, except that information as of a
later date (but before the date of this Agreement) is deemed to

(b) Union and, to Unions Knowledge, each of its

assets of such fiduciary account.

that connection, from the date hereof to the Closing Date, shall
not enter into any new credit or new lending relationship in
excess of $3,000,000 to any Person and any director or officer
of, or any owner of a 10% or greater equity interest in, such
Person; provided, however, that Centrue Bank shall be
permitted to make any such loan with the prior written consent
of Union, or if Centrue Bank has made a written request for

Union with all information necessary for Union to make an
informed decision with respect to such request, and Union has
failed to respond to such request within two Business Days after
Unions receipt of such request;
(e) consistent with past practice, maintain an allowance

required by changes in GAAP effective after the date hereof, the
Subsequent Centrue Financial Statements shall be prepared on a
basis consistent with past accounting practices and shall fairly
present in all material respects the consolidated financial
condition and results of operations for the dates and periods
presented. The Subsequent Centrue Financial Statements will not
include any material assets or omit to state any material
liabilities, absolute or contingent, or other facts, which
inclusion or omission would render such Subsequent Centrue
Financial Statements misleading in any material respect. The
Centrue SEC Filings will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
contained therein not misleading.
Section 6.5 Advice
of Changes. Between the date of this Agreement and the
Closing Date, Centrue will promptly notify Union in writing if
Centrue or any Centrue Subsidiary becomes aware of any fact or
condition that causes or constitutes a breach of any of
Centrues representations and warranties as of the date of
this Agreement, or if Centrue or any Centrue Subsidiary becomes
aware of the occurrence after the date of this Agreement of any
fact or condition that would (except as expressly contemplated
by this Agreement) cause or constitute a breach of any such
representation or warranty had such representation or warranty
been made as of the time of occurrence or discovery of such fact
or condition. If any such fact or condition would require any
change in the Centrue Schedules if such Centrue Schedules were
dated the date of the occurrence or discovery of any such fact
or condition, Centrue will promptly deliver to Union a
supplement to the Centrue Schedules specifying such change.
During the same period, Centrue will promptly notify Union of
the occurrence of any breach of any covenant of Centrue in this
Article or of the occurrence of any event that might reasonably
be expected to make the satisfaction of the conditions in
Article 9 impossible or unlikely.
Section 6.6 Other
Offers. Until such time, if any, as this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Article 11, Centrue will not,
and will cause each Centrue Subsidiary and their respective
Representatives not to, directly or indirectly solicit, initiate
or encourage any inquiries or proposals from, discuss or
negotiate with, provide any non-public information to, or
consider the merits of any unsolicited inquiries or proposals
from,
A-35
any Person (other than Union) relating to any Acquisition
Transaction or a potential Acquisition Transaction involving
Centrue or any Centrue Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Centrue may provide information at the request of, or
enter into negotiations with, a third party with respect to an
Acquisition Transaction if the board of directors of Centrue
determines, in good faith, that the exercise of its fiduciary
duties to Centrues stockholders under applicable law, as
advised by its counsel, requires it to take such action, and,
provided further, that Centrue may not, in any
event, provide to such third party any information which it has
not provided to Union. Centrue shall promptly notify Union
orally, confirmed in writing, in the event it receives any such
inquiry or proposal and shall provide reasonable detail of all
relevant facts relating to such inquiries.

Business Days prior to such meeting, notice of such meeting
together with the Proxy Statement-Prospectus (as defined below),
which shall include a copy of this Agreement. Subject to its
fiduciary duties, Centrue and its board of directors shall
recommend to stockholders the approval of this Agreement and
shall solicit proxies voting only in favor thereof from the
stockholders of Centrue. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties
acknowledge that the failure of Centrue to cause a meeting of
its stockholders to be held for the purposes set forth in the
Agreement or otherwise to make the recommendations required by
or to withdraw, modify or change such recommendation as provided
in the provisions of this Section 6.8 shall be
deemed to have a Material Adverse Effect on Centrue on a
consolidated basis and on Unions and its
stockholders rights under this Agreement.
Section 6.9 Information
Provided to Union. Centrue agrees that the information
concerning Centrue or any Centrue Subsidiary that is provided or
to be provided by Centrue to Union for inclusion or that is

Transactions will, at the respective times such documents are
filed and, in the case of the Registration Statement, when it
becomes effective and, with respect to the Proxy
Statement-Prospectus, when mailed, will not be false or
misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to state
any material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein not misleading or, in the case of the Proxy
Statement-Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto, at the time of the meeting of Centrues
stockholders referred to above, be false or misleading with
respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact
necessary to correct any statement in any earlier communication
with respect to the solicitation of any proxy for the meeting in
connection with which the Proxy Statement-Prospectus shall be
mailed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Centrue shall have no
responsibility for the truth or accuracy of any information with
respect to Union or any Union Subsidiary or any of their
Affiliates contained in the Registration Statement or the Proxy
Statement-Prospectus or in any document submitted to, or other
communication with, any Regulatory Authority.

of Employee Benefit Plans. To the extent permitted by
applicable Legal Requirements and except as otherwise agreed to
pursuant to Section 7.11, upon the written request
of Union, Centrue shall take such action as may be necessary to
terminate any Centrue Employee Benefit Plan on or before the
Closing on terms reasonably acceptable to Union; provided,
however, that Centrue or Centrue Bank shall not be obligated
to take any such requested action that is irrevocable until
immediately prior to the Closing.

shall cause each Centrue Subsidiary, to: (a) make any

other financial records; (b) make additional provisions to

take any such requested action until immediately prior to the
Closing and at such time as Centrue shall have received
reasonable assurances that all conditions precedent to
Centrues obligations under this Agreement (except for the
completion of actions to be taken at the Closing) have been
satisfied.
Section 6.12 Capital
Stock. Except as otherwise permitted in or contemplated
by this Agreement, including in connection with the Daiber
Employment Agreement and the employment agreements contemplated
by Section 8.4, and without the prior written
consent of Union, from the date of this Agreement to the earlier
of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement,
Centrue shall not, and shall not enter into any agreement to,
issue, sell or otherwise permit to become outstanding any
additional shares of Centrue Common Stock or any other capital
stock of Centrue, or any stock appreciation rights, or any
option, warrant, conversion or other right to acquire any such
stock, or any security convertible into any such stock, other
than pursuant to (a) the Centrue Stock Incentive Plan, the
aggregate number of shares of Centrue Common Stock covered by
all existing grants (not taking into account the grants
contemplated by the Daiber Employment Agreement and the

the facilities, operations, records and properties of Union and

Section. Centrue and its Representatives may, prior to the
Closing Date, make or cause to be made such reasonable
investigation of the operations, records and properties of Union
and each Union Subsidiary and of their respective financial and
legal conditions as Centrue shall deem necessary or advisable to
familiarize itself with such records, properties and other
matters, provided, however, that such access or
investigation shall not interfere materially with the normal
operations of Union or any Union Subsidiary. Upon request, Union
and each Union Subsidiary will furnish Centrue or its
Representatives, attorneys responses to auditors
requests for information regarding Union or such Union
Subsidiary, as the case may be, and such financial and operating
data and other information reasonably requested by Centrue
(provided, with respect to attorneys, such disclosure
would not result in the waiver by Union or UnionBank of any
claim of attorney-client privilege), and will permit Centrue and
its Representatives to discuss such information directly with
any individual or firm performing auditing or accounting
functions for Union or such Union Subsidiary, and such auditors
and accountants shall be directed to furnish copies of any
reports or financial information as developed to Centrue or its
Representatives. No investigation by Centrue or any of its
Representatives shall affect the representations and warranties
made by Union. This Section shall not require the disclosure of
any information the disclosure of which to Centrue would be
prohibited by any Legal Requirement.
(b) Union shall allow a representative of Centrue to attend
as an observer: (i) all meetings of the board of directors
of Union and each Union Subsidiary; and (ii) all meetings
of the committees thereof, except for any such meeting if and to
the extent that any of the Contemplated Transactions is
discussed, or Union is advised by its counsel that the
participation by such observer would result in a waiver of
Unions attorney-
A-37
client privilege. Union shall give reasonable notice to Centrue
of any such meeting and, if known, the agenda for or business to
be discussed at such meeting. Union shall provide to Centrue all
information provided to the directors on all such boards and
committees in connection with all such meetings or otherwise
provided to the directors, except to the extent that such
information relates to any amendment to this Agreement or the
merits of any Acquisition Transaction is discussed, or Union is
advised by its counsel that the participation by such observer
would result in a waiver of Unions attorney-client
privilege. It is understood by the parties that Centrues
representative will not have any voting rights with respect to
matters discussed at these meetings and shall remain silent
during all proceedings, and that Centrue is not managing the
business or affairs of Union. All information obtained by
Centrue at these meetings shall be treated in confidence as
provided in the Confidentiality Agreement.
Section 7.2 Operation
of Union and Union Subsidiaries. Except with the prior
written consent of Centrue, which consent shall not be

Union Subsidiary, to

Business;
(b) use its Best Efforts to preserve intact its current
business organization, keep available the services of its
current officers, employees and agents, and maintain the
relations and goodwill with its suppliers, customers, landlords,
creditors, employees, agents and others having business
relationships with it;
(c) confer with Centrue concerning operational matters of a
material nature;
(d) enter into loan and deposit transactions only in
accordance with sound credit practices and only on terms and
conditions that are not materially more favorable than those
available to the borrower or depositor, as the case may be, from
competitive sources in arms-length transactions, and, in
that connection, from the date hereof to the Closing Date, shall
not enter into any new credit or new lending relationship in
excess of $3,000,000 to any Person and any director or officer
of, or any owner of a 10% or greater equity interest in, such
Person; provided, however, that UnionBank shall be
permitted to make any such loan with the prior written consent
of Centrue, or if UnionBank has made a written request for
permission to make an otherwise prohibited loan and has provided
Centrue with all information necessary for Centrue to make an
informed decision with respect to such request, and Centrue has
failed to respond to such request within two Business Days after
Centrues receipt of such request;
(e) consistent with past practice, maintain an allowance
for possible loan and lease losses which is adequate in all
material respects under the requirements of GAAP to provide for
possible losses, net of recoveries relating to loans previously
charged off, on loans outstanding (including accrued interest
receivable);
(f) maintain all of its assets necessary for the conduct of
its business in good operating condition and repair, reasonable
wear and tear and damage by fire or unavoidable casualty
excepted, and maintain policies of insurance upon its assets and
with respect to the conduct of its business in amounts and kinds
comparable to that in effect on the date hereof and pay all
premiums on such policies when due;
(g) file in a timely manner all required filings with all
Regulatory Authorities and cause such filings to be true and

Section 7.3 Negative
Covenant. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by
this Agreement, and as contemplated by
Schedule 5.17, between the date of this Agreement
and the Closing Date, Union will not, and will cause each Union
Subsidiary not to, without the prior written consent of Centrue,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
take any affirmative action, or fail to take any reasonable
action within its control, as a result of which any of the
changes or events listed in Section 5.17 is likely
to occur.
Section 7.4 Subsequent
Union Financial Statements; Securities Reports. As soon
as available after the date hereof, Union will furnish Centrue

to Regulatory Authorities, to the extent permitted by law
(collectively, the Subsequent Union Financial
Statements). Without limitation of the foregoing, as
soon as available, if at all, Union will deliver to Centrue
complete copies of any reports filed with the SEC after
March 31, 2006 (collectively, the Union SEC
Filings). Except as may be required by changes in GAAP
effective after the date hereof, the Subsequent Union Financial
Statements shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past
accounting practices and shall fairly present in all material
respects the consolidated financial condition and results of
operations for the dates and periods presented. The Subsequent
Union Financial Statements will not include any material assets
or omit to state any material liabilities, absolute or
contingent, or other facts, which inclusion or omission would
render such Subsequent Union Financial Statements misleading in
any material respect. The Union SEC Filings will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
the statements contained therein not misleading.
Section 7.5 Advice
of Changes. Between the date of this Agreement and the
Closing Date, Union will promptly notify Centrue in writing if
Union or any Union Subsidiary becomes aware of any fact or
condition that causes or constitutes a breach of any of
Unions representations and warranties as of the date of
this Agreement, or if Union or any Union Subsidiary becomes
aware of the occurrence after the date of this Agreement of any
fact or condition that would (except as expressly contemplated
by this Agreement) cause or constitute a breach of any such
representation or warranty had such representation or warranty
been made as of the time of occurrence or discovery of such fact
or condition. If any such fact or condition would require any
change in the Union Schedules if such Union Schedules were dated
the date of the occurrence or discovery of any such fact or
condition, Union will promptly deliver to Centrue a supplement
to the Union Schedules specifying such change. During the same
period, Union will promptly notify Centrue of the occurrence of
any breach of any covenant of Union in this Article or of the
occurrence of any event that might reasonably be expected to
make the satisfaction of the conditions in Article 10
impossible or unlikely.
Section 7.6 Other
Offers. Until such time, if any, as this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Article 11, Union will not,
and will cause each Union Subsidiary and their respective
Representatives not to, directly or indirectly solicit, initiate
or encourage any inquiries or proposals from, discuss or
negotiate with, provide any non-public information to, or
consider the merits of any unsolicited inquiries or proposals
from, any Person relating to any Acquisition Transaction or a
potential Acquisition Transaction involving Union or any Union
Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Union may provide
information at the request of, or enter into negotiations with,
a third party with respect to an Acquisition Transaction if the
board of directors of Union determines, in good faith, that the
exercise of its fiduciary duties to Unions stockholders
under applicable law, as advised by its counsel, requires it to
take such action, and, provided further, that Union may
not, in any event, provide to such third party any information
which it has not provided to Centrue. Union shall promptly
notify Centrue orally, confirmed in writing, in the event it
receives any such inquiry or proposal and shall provide
reasonable detail of all relevant facts relating to such
inquiries.

Meeting. Union shall cause a meeting of its stockholders
for the purpose of acting upon this Agreement, and, in
Unions discretion, for the purpose of amending and
restating its certificate of incorporation and bylaws as set

the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the
SEC. Union shall mail to its stockholders at least twenty
Business Days prior to such meeting, notice of such meeting
together with the Proxy Statement-Prospectus, which shall
include a copy of this Agreement. Subject to its fiduciary
duties, Union and its board of directors shall recommend to
stockholders the approval of this Agreement and shall solicit
proxies voting only in favor thereof from the stockholders of
Union. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that
A-39
the failure of Union to cause a meeting of its stockholders to
be held for the purposes set forth in the Agreement or otherwise
to make the recommendations required by or to withdraw, modify
or change such recommendation as provided in the provisions of
this Section 7.8 shall be deemed to have a Material
Adverse Effect on Union on a consolidated basis and on
Centrues and its stockholders rights under this
Agreement.
Section 7.9 Information
Provided to Centrue. Union agrees that none of the
information concerning Union or any Union Subsidiary that is
provided or to be provided by Union to Centrue for inclusion or
that is included in the Registration Statement or Proxy
Statement-Prospectus and any other documents to be filed with
any Regulatory Authority in connection with the Contemplated
Transactions will, at the respective times such documents are
filed and, in the case of the Registration Statement, when it
becomes effective and, with respect to the Proxy
Statement-Prospectus, when mailed, be false or misleading with
respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading
or, in the case of the Proxy Statement-Prospectus, or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, at the time of the
meeting of Unions stockholders referred to above, be false
or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to
state any material fact necessary to correct any statement in
any earlier communication with respect to the solicitation of
any proxy for the meeting in connection with which the Proxy
Statement-Prospectus shall be mailed. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Union shall have no responsibility for the truth or
accuracy of any information with respect to Centrue or any
Centrue Subsidiary or any of their Affiliates contained in the
Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement-Prospectus or in
any document submitted to, or other communication with, any
Regulatory Authority.

shall honor any of Centrues obligations in respect of
indemnification and advancement of expenses currently provided
by Centrue in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws in
favor of the current and former directors and officers of

Effective Time. Notwithstanding any provision of
Section 7.2, Union shall acquire and maintain for a
period of six years extended insurance coverage of acts or
omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time with
respect to those persons who are currently covered by
Centrues director and officer liability policies of
insurance (commonly referred to as tail coverage) on
terms with respect to such coverage and amount substantially
similar to the terms and conditions of Centrues director
and officer liability policies of insurance in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time, so long as such
coverage is available on commercially reasonable terms, in the
reasonable judgment of Centrue and Union.
Section 7.11 Employee
Benefits. Union agrees that all former employees of
Centrue or Centrue Bank who become employees of Union or any of

by this Agreement, including in connection with the Yeoman
Employment Agreement, the Stevenson Employment Agreement and the
employment agreements contemplated by Section 8.4,

Centrue, from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the
Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, Union shall
not, and shall not enter into any agreement to, issue, sell or
otherwise permit to become outstanding any additional shares of
Union Common Stock or any other capital stock of Union, or any
stock appreciation rights, or any option, warrant, conversion or
other right to acquire any such stock, or any security
convertible into any such stock, other than (a) pursuant to
the Union Stock Option Plans, the aggregate number of shares of
Union Common Stock covered by all existing grants (not taking
into account the grants contemplated by the Yeoman Employment

Section 8.7.
Section 7.16 Dividends.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, Union
may continue to declare and pay to its stockholders, on dates
consistent with its past practices, its normal quarterly cash
dividend not to exceed $0.12 per share of Union Common
Stock, and shall declare, pay or make no other dividend or other
distribution or payment in respect of, or redemption of, shares
of Union Common Stock, provided, however, that Union
shall not declare the record date for any dividend, or pay or
make any such dividend or other distribution or payment, in the
quarter in which the Effective Time shall occur, unless such
record date and payment date take place after the Effective
Time. If Union does not declare and pay permitted dividends on
its Union Common Stock in a particular calendar quarter because
of Unions reasonable expectation that the Effective Time
would occur in such quarter, and the Effective Time does not in
fact occur in said calendar quarter, then, as a result thereof,
Union shall be entitled to declare and pay a permitted dividend
on said shares of Union Common Stock for said calendar quarter
as soon as reasonably practicable.

Agreements. Concurrently with the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, Union shall cause to be executed and

ARTICLE 11
TERMINATION
Section 11.1 Reasons
for Termination and Abandonment. This Agreement, by
prompt written notice given to the other parties prior to or at
the Closing, may be terminated:
|
|
|
(a) by mutual consent of the boards of directors of Union
and Centrue; |
|
|
(b) by Union if: (i) any of the conditions in
Article 9 has not been satisfied as of the Closing
Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes
impossible (other than through the failure of Union to comply
with its obligations under this Agreement); and (ii) Union
has not waived such condition on or before the Closing Date; |
|
|
(c) by Centrue if: (i) any of the conditions in
Article 10 has not been satisfied as of the Closing
Date or if satisfaction of such a condition is or becomes
impossible (other than through the failure of Centrue to comply
with its obligations under this Agreement), and
(ii) Centrue has not waived such condition on or before the
Closing Date; |
|
|
(d) by either Union or Centrue if the Closing has not
occurred (other than through the failure of any party seeking to
terminate this Agreement to comply fully with its obligations
under this Agreement) by March 1, 2007, or such later date
as the parties may agree (the Termination
Date); provided, however, that the Termination
Date shall be extended for up to ninety days if the sole reason
that the |
A-45
|
|
|
Closing has not occurred is due to the fact that (i) the
regulatory approvals contemplated by Section 8.1
have not been received, so long as no Regulatory Authority
has denied approval of any of the Contemplated Transactions, or
(ii) the Registration Statement has not become effective;
provided further, however, that the Termination Date
shall not be so extended if the failure to obtain any such
regulatory approval or the failure of the Registration Statement
to become effective is the result of a failure by either Union
or Centrue to comply fully with its obligations under this
Agreement; |
|
|
(e) by Centrue, by giving written notice of such
termination to Union, and subject to the special termination fee
set forth in Section 11.3(d), if Centrue receives an
Acquisition Proposal that is determined in good faith by the
Centrue board of directors, in connection with the exercise of
its fiduciary duties to Centrues stockholders under
applicable law, as advised by its counsel, after consultation
with Centrues financial advisor, to be on terms that are
more favorable to the stockholders of Centrue than the Merger
and that has a reasonable prospect of being consummated in
accordance with its terms (a Superior Centrue
Proposal); provided, however, that Centrue
shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
this Section 11.1(e) unless Centrue shall have given
Union five Business Days prior written notice thereof (or,
if there are less than five Business Days remaining prior to the
Closing, written notice prior to the Closing) of its intent to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 11.1(e), together with a summary of the
terms of, and the identity of the Person making, such Superior
Centrue Proposal; and |
|
|
(f) by Union, by giving written notice of such termination
to Centrue, and subject to the special termination fee set forth
in Section 11.4(d), if Union receives an Acquisition
Proposal that is determined in good faith by the Union board of
directors, in connection with the exercise of its fiduciary
duties to Unions stockholders under applicable law, as
advised by its counsel, after consultation with Unions
financial advisor, to be on terms that are more favorable to the
stockholders of Union than the Merger and that has a reasonable
prospect of being consummated in accordance with its terms (a
Superior Union Proposal), provided,
however, that Union shall not be permitted to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.1(f) unless
Union shall have given Centrue five Business Days prior
written notice thereof (or, if there are less than five Business
Days remaining prior to the Closing, written notice prior to the
Closing) of its intent to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
this Section 11.1(f), together with a summary of the
terms of, and the identity of the Person making, such Superior
Union Proposal. |

directors, employees, stockholders and agents for any claims
arising from or relating in any way to this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated herein; provided, however, that

the intent to breach, its covenants, agreements, representations
or warranties under this Agreement, and such breach has caused
or would cause the condition set forth in

Exhibit A
Amended and
Restated
Certificate of
Incorporation
of
UnionBancorp,
Inc.
The Restated Certificate of Incorporation for UnionBancorp, Inc.
was duly filed on May 13, 1991, and was amended by a

of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware,
UnionBancorp, Inc. further amends its certificate of
incorporation by adopting the following amended and restated
certificate of incorporation.
The name of the Corporation is Centrue Financial Corporation.
The address of its registered office in the State of Delaware is

County of Kent. The name of its registered agent at such address

share, and 200,000 shares of Preferred Stock, no par value

The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, from
time to time, a resolution or resolutions providing for the
issue of one or more series of Preferred Stock, with such voting
powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and with such
designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional
or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the
resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors.
Any and all right, title, interest and claim in or to any
dividends declared by the corporation, whether in cash, stock,
or otherwise, which are unclaimed by the stockholder entitled
thereto for a period of six years after the close of business on
the payment date, shall be and be deemed to be extinguished and
abandoned; and such unclaimed dividends in the possession of the
corporation, its transfer agents or other agents or depositaries
shall at such time become the absolute property of the
corporation, free and clear of any and all claims of any persons
whatsoever.
Intentionally omitted.
In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by
statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized:
|
|
|
to exercise all such powers and do all such acts as may be
exercised or done by the corporation, subject to the provisions
of the laws of the State of Delaware, this Certificate of
Incorporation and the bylaws of the corporation, and |
|
|
to make, alter or repeal any bylaws of the corporation pursuant
to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of
authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies
in previously authorized directorships at the time any such
resolution is presented to the Board of Directors for
adoption)(the Whole Board). |
A director of the corporation shall not in the absence of fraud
be disqualified by his office from dealing or contracting with
the corporation either as a vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor
in the absence of fraud shall a director of the corporation be
liable to account to the corporation for any profit realized by
him from or through any transaction or contract of the
corporation by reason of the fact that he, or any firm of which
he is a member, or any corporation of which he is an officer,
director or stockholder, was interested in such
A-52
transaction or contract if such transaction or contract has bean
authorized, approved or ratified in the manner provided in the
General Corporation Law of Delaware for authorization, approval
or ratification of transactions or contracts between the
corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or
between the corporation and any other corporation, partnership,
association, or other organization in which one or more of its
directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a
financial interest.
The corporation shall, to the full extent permitted by
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as
amended from time to time, indemnify all persons who it may
indemnify pursuant thereto.
Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this
corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or
between this corporation and its stockholders or any class of
them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of
Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this
corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof, or on the
application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this
corporation under the provision of Section 291 of
Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of
trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers
appointed for this corporation under Section 279 of
Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the
creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or
class of stockholders of the corporation, as the case may be, to
be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a
majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the
creditors, or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or
class of stockholders of this corporation, as the case may be,
agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization
of this corporation as a consequence of such compromise or
arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said
reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the
said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors
or class of creditors, and/or on all stockholders or class of
stockholders of this corporation, as the case may be, and also
on this corporation.
The number of directors of the corporation shall be fifteen, or
such other number as may be determined from time to time by the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy percent
(70%) of all shares of the corporation than entitled to vote in
the election of directors, considered for this purpose as one
class, or pursuant to a resolution adopted by at least
two-thirds of the Whole Board (immediately prior to such
proposed change).
Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the
bylaws of the corporation so provide.
The directors, other than those who may be elected by the
holders of any class or series of stock having preference over
the common stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, shall be
classified, with respect to the time for which they severally
hold office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as
possible, as shall ha provided in the manner specified in the
bylaws, each class to hold office initially for a term expiring
at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year
following the year of their election, with the members of each
class to hold office until their successors are elected and
qualified. At each annual meeting of the stockholders of the
corporation, the successors to the class of directors whose term
expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a
term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the
third year following the year of their election.
Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the
number of directors and any vacancies on the Board of Directors
resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or
other cause shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though
less than a quorum of the Board of Directors. Any director
elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold
office for the remainder of the full term of the class of
directors in which the new directorship was created or the
vacancy occurred and until such directors successor shall
have been elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of
directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the
term of any incumbent director.
Subject to the rights of any class or series of stock having
preference over the common stock as to dividends or upon
liquidation to elect directors under specified circumstances, a
director may be removed from office only for cause and only by
the affirmative vote of the holders of seventy percent (70%) of
all shares of stock of the corporation then entitled to vote in
the election of directors, considered for this purpose as a

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
OF
SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
OF
UNIONBANCORP, INC.
1. ISSUANCE. The board of
directors (the Board) of UnionBancorp, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the Company), has designated
2,765 shares of the Companys authorized and unissued
preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, has authorized such shares for issuance at a price
of $1,000 per share (the Series A Preferred
Stock) and has determined that no further shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be issued.
2. DIVIDENDS.
(a) The holders of record of the then outstanding shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive when,
as and if declared by the Board out of any funds legally
available therefor, cumulative dividends at the annual rate of
$75.00 per share payable in four equal cash payments on the
20th day (or if not a business day, as defined below, on
the next business day thereafter) of April, July, October and
January commencing October, 1996, provided, however, that any
such quarterly cash payment shall be prorated with respect to
any shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were
outstanding less than the total number of days in the calendar
quarter immediately preceding any such payment date. The amount
of any such prorated cash payment shall be computed on the basis
of the actual number of days in any calendar quarter during
which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock were
outstanding. Each such dividend shall be payable to holders of
record as they appear on the stock books of the Company on such
record dates, not less than 10 and not more than 60 days
preceding the dividend payment date, as shall be fixed by the
Board. No dividends, other than those payable solely in the
Companys common stock, $1.00 par value (Common
Stock), shall be paid during any fiscal year of the
Company with respect to shares of Common Stock or any other
security issued by the Company, except for outstanding shares of
the Companys Series B Preferred Stock (the
Series B Preferred Stock), until dividends in
the total amount of $75.00 per share on Series A
Preferred Stock shall have been paid. Such dividends shall
accrue on each share of Series A Preferred Stock from the
date of issuance and from day to day thereafter, whether or not
earned or declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such
dividends shall be cumulative so that if such dividends in
respect of any previous or current annual dividend period, at
the annual rate specified above, shall not have been paid or
declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart,
the deficiency for any prior year and the amount owed in the
current year shall first be fully paid before any dividend or
other distribution shall be paid on or declared and set apart
for the shares of Common Stock. A business day shall
be deemed to be any day when trading of securities occurs on the
New York Stock Exchange.
(b) Unless full dividends on Series A Preferred Stock
for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend
period shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for
the payment thereof set apart: no dividend whatsoever whether in
cash, securities or other property (other than a dividend
payable solely in shares of Common Stock) shall be paid or
declared and set aside for payment, and no distribution shall be
made, on any shares of Common Stock or other class of preferred
stock authorized after the date hereof except for the
Series B Preferred Stock; and no shares of Common Stock or
other class of preferred stock authorized after the date hereof,
except the Series B Preferred Stock, shall be purchased,
redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Company and no funds shall
be paid into or set aside or made available for a sinking fund
for the purchase, redemption or other acquisition thereof
without the approval of the holders of at least a majority of
the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
(c) The Company shall not permit any subsidiary of the
Company to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any
shares of stock of the Company unless the Company could, under
paragraph (b) of this Section 2, purchase or
otherwise acquire such shares at such time and such manner.
A-55
3. CONVERSION. The holders
of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following
conversion rights (the Conversion Rights) and be
subject to the following provisions with respect to the
conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock:
|
|
|
(a) RIGHT TO CONVERT. The shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall be convertible at the holders option
into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common
Stock that is calculated in accordance with the terms of this
Section 3. Unless earlier permitted by the Company, the
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are
convertible at the holders option after the fourth
anniversary of the date of issuance. The number of shares of
Common Stock into which the outstanding Series A Preferred
Stock is convertible shall be determined for all purposes on the
first date such shares of Series A Preferred Stock become
convertible (referred to as the Determination Date).
Notwithstanding the occurrence of the Determination Date for any
outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the holder
of such shares may continue to hold these shares of
Series A Preferred Stock and may at any time thereafter,
subject to the provisions of this Section 3, convert those
shares into Common Stock. |
|
|
(b) CONVERSION PRICE. The Conversion Price shall be
equal to 1.075 times the per share book value of Common Stock,
computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, as of the end of the month immediately prior to the
Determination Date. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock
that results from dividing $1,000 by the Conversion Price. |
|
|
(c) MECHANICS OF VOLUNTARY CONVERSION; UNPAID
DIVIDENDS. |
|
|
|
(i) Before any holder of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of
Common Stock, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates
therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any
transfer agent of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock,
with a written notice that he elects to convert the same and
shall state therein the number of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock being converted and the name or names in which
the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are
to be issued. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein,
the date the Company receives such surrendered certificates and
written notice shall be deemed to be the Conversion Date.
Thereupon the Company shall promptly issue and deliver at such
office to such holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock
or to the nominee or nominees of such holder a certificate or
certificates representing: the number of shares of Common Stock
to which he shall be entitled; and any shares of Series A
Preferred Stock that were represented by any certificate
surrendered as required by the provisions of this paragraph, but
which were not converted and which he continues to own. |
|
|
(ii) Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made
immediately prior to the close of business on the Conversion
Date and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of
Common Stock on such date. A holder of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock who surrenders shares of Series A Preferred
Stock for conversion shall be entitled to receive from the
Company on the date of such surrender an amount in cash equal to
the accrued dividends on such surrendered shares of
Series A Preferred Stock through such Conversion Date, less
the aggregate amount of dividends which would have accrued since
the last dividend payment date for Series A Preferred Stock
on the number of shares of the Common Stock into which such
shares of Series A Preferred Stock are converted if
dividends on such shares of Common Stock accrued at an annual
rate based upon the dividends paid by the Company on the Common
Stock for the most recently ended fiscal period for which Common
Stock dividends were paid, but any future dividends with respect
to the surrendered shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall
cease to accrue after such surrender and all rights with respect
to such shares shall forthwith after such surrender terminate. |
|
|
|
(d) ADJUSTMENTS FOR OTHER DIVIDENDS AND
DISTRIBUTIONS. In the event the Company at any time or from
time to time after the Issuance Date shall make or issue, or fix
a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock
entitled to receive, a dividend or other |
A-56
|
|
|
distribution payable in securities of the Company other than
shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event provision
shall be made so that the holders of Series A Preferred
Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof in addition to the
number of shares of Common Stock receivable thereupon, the
amount of securities of the Company that they would have
received had their Series A Preferred Stock been converted
into Common Stock on the date of such event and had thereafter,
during the period from the date of such event to and including
the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by them
as aforesaid during such period giving application to all
adjustments called for during such period under this
paragraph 3 with respect to the rights of the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock. |
|
|
(e) ADJUSTMENT FOR RECLASSIFICATION, EXCHANGE OR
SUBSTITUTION. If the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares
of any class or classes of stock, whether by capital
reorganization, reclassification or otherwise (other than an
event provided for elsewhere in this paragraph 3), then and
in each such event the holder of each share of Series A
Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such
share into the kind and amounts of shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable upon such reorganization,
reclassification or other change, by holders of the number of
shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A
Preferred Stock might have been converted immediately prior to
such reorganization, reclassification or change, all subject to
further adjustment as provided herein. |
|
|
(f) REORGANIZATION, MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS OR SALES OF
ASSETS. If at a any time or from time to time there shall be
a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than an
event provided for elsewhere in this paragraph 3) or a
merger, consolidation or statutory exchange of securities of the
Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or
substantially all the Companys properties and assets to
any other person, then, as a part of such reorganization,
merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be made so that
the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be
entitled to receive upon conversion of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, the number of shares of stock or
other securities or property of the Company, or of the successor
corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation or sale,
to which a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon conversion of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock would have been entitled on such capital
reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale. In any such case,
appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the
provisions of this paragraph 3 with respect to the rights
of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock after the
reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale to the end that
the provisions of this paragraph 3 (including, if
necessary, adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and
the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the shares
of Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that
event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable. The foregoing
provisions shall similarly apply to successive consolidations,
mergers, statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances. |
|
|
(g) SALE OF SHARES BELOW CONVERSION PRICE. |
|
|
|
(i) If at any time or from time to time after the Issuance
Date, the Company shall issue or sell Additional Shares of
Common Stock (as hereinafter defined), other than as a dividend
as provided in paragraph 3(e) above, for a consideration
per share less than the then existing Conversion Price for
Series A Preferred Stock (or, if an adjusted Conversion
Price shall be in effect by reason of a previous adjustment,
then less than such adjusted Conversion Price), then and in each
case the then applicable Conversion Price for Series A
Preferred Stock shall be reduced, as of the opening of business
on the date of such issue or sale, to a price determined by
multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of
which shall be the sum of: the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale; plus the
number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate
consideration received by the Company for the total number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at
the Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the
sum of: (X) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale; plus
(Y) the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so
issued. |
A-57
|
|
|
(ii) For the purpose of making any adjustment in the
Conversion Price or number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
on the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock
as provided above, the consideration received by the Company for
any issue or sale of securities shall: |
|
|
|
(A) to the extent it consists of cash, be computed at the
net amount of cash received by the Company after deduction of
any underwriting or similar commissions, concessions or
compensation paid or allowed by the Company in connection with
such issue or sale; |
|
|
(B) to the extent it consists of services or property other
than cash, be computed at the fair value of such services or
property as determined in good faith by the Board; and |
|
|
(C) if Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible
Securities (as defined below), or rights or options to purchase
either Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities are issued or sold together with other stock or
securities or other assets of the Company for a consideration
that covers both, be computed as the portion of the
consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in
good faith by the Board to be allocable to such Additional
Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or rights or
options. |
|
|
|
(iii) For the purpose of the adjustment provided in
subparagraph (i) of this paragraph 3(g), if at
any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date the
Company shall issue any rights or options for the purchase of,
or stock or other securities convertible into, Additional Shares
of Common Stock (such convertible stock or securities being
referred to as Convertible Securities), then, in
each case, if the Effective Price (as defined below) of such
rights, options or Convertible Securities shall be less than the
then existing Conversion Price for Series A Preferred
Stock, the Company shall be deemed to have issued at the time of
the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities
the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise or conversion thereof and to have received as
consideration for the issuance of such shares an amount equal to
the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by the
Company for the rights or options or Convertible Securities,
plus, in the case of such options or rights, the minimum amounts
of consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon exercise
or conversion of such options or rights. For purposes of the
foregoing, Effective Price shall mean the quotient
determined by dividing the total of all such consideration by
such maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock. No
further adjustment of the Conversion Price adjusted upon the
issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities shall
be made as a result of the actual issuance of Additional Shares
of Common Stock on the exercise of any such rights or options or
the conversion of any such Convertible Securities. If any such
rights or options or the conversion privilege represented by any
such Convertible Securities shall expire without having been
exercised, the Conversion Price adjusted upon the issuance of
such rights, options or Convertible Securities shall be
readjusted to the Conversion Price that would have been in
effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only
Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued were the Additional
Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold on the
exercise of such rights or options or rights of conversion of
such Convertible Securities, and such Additional Shares of
Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration
actually received by the Company upon such exercise, plus the
consideration, if any, actually received by the Company for the
granting of all such rights or options, whether or not
exercised, plus the consideration received for issuing or
selling the Convertible Securities actually converted plus the
consideration, if any, actually received by the Company on the
conversion of such Convertible Securities. |
|
|
(iv) For the purpose of the adjustment provided for in
subparagraph (i) of this paragraph 3(g), if at
any time or from time to time after the Issuance Date the
Company shall issue any rights or options for the purchase of
Convertible Securities, then, in each such case, if the
Effective Price thereof is less than the current Conversion
Price, the Company shall be deemed to have issued at the time of
the issuance of such rights or options the maximum number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the total amount of Convertible Securities covered by such
rights or options and to have received as consideration for the
issuance of such Additional |
A-58
|
|
|
Shares of Common Stock an amount equal to the amount of
consideration, if any, received by the Company for the issuance
of such rights or options, plus the minimum amounts of
consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the
conversion of such Convertible Securities. For purposes of the
foregoing, Effective Price shall mean the quotient
determined by dividing the total amount of such consideration by
such maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock. No
further adjustment of such Conversion Price adjusted upon the
issuance of such rights or options shall be made as a result of
the actual issuance of the Convertible Securities upon the
exercise of such rights or options or upon the actual issuance
of Additional Shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of such
Convertible Securities. The provisions of
subparagraph (iii) of this paragraph 3(h) for the
readjustment of such Conversion Price upon the expiration of
rights or options or the rights of conversion of Convertible
Securities, shall apply mutatis mutandis to the rights, options
and Convertible Securities referred to in this
subparagraph (iv). |
|
|
|
(h) DEFINITION OF ADDITIONAL SHARES. The term
Additional Shares of Common Stock as used herein
shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued or deemed issued by
the Company after the Issuance Date, whether or not subsequently
reacquired or retired by the Company, other than: shares of
Common Stock issued upon conversion of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock; any shares of Common Stock (as
adjusted for all stock dividends, stock splits, subdivisions and
combinations) issued to employees, officers, directors,
consultants or other persons performing services for the Company
(if so issued solely because of any such persons status as
an officer, director, employee, consultant or other person
performing services for the Company and not as part of any
general offering of the Companys securities) pursuant to
any stock option plan, stock purchase plan or management
incentive plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Board;
and (iii) any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company
as full or partial consideration by the Company in connection
with a merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or other
transaction resulting in the acquisition by the Company of
greater than 25% of the voting securities of any other
corporation, financial institution or other entity, provided
that the Common Stock used in such transaction is valued for
purposes thereof at not less than its then book value. |
|
|
(i) ACCOUNTANTS CERTIFICATE OF ADJUSTMENT. In
each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion
Price for the number of shares of Common Stock or other
securities issuable upon conversion of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, the Company, at its expense,
shall cause independent certified public accountants of
recognized standing selected by the Company (who may be the
independent certified public accountants then auditing the books
of the Company) to compute such adjustment or readjustment in
accordance herewith and prepare a certificate showing such
adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by
first class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the holders
address as shown on the Companys books. The certificate
shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in
detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is
based including a statement of: (i) the consideration
received or to be received by the Company for any Additional
Shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been
issued or sold; the Conversion Price at the time in effect for
each series of Series A Preferred Stock; and the number of
Additional Shares of Common Stock and the type and amount, if
any, of other property which at the time would be received upon
conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock. |
|
|
(j) NOTICES OF RECORD DATE. In the event of any
taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class or
series of securities for the purpose of determining the holders
thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other
distribution, or any reclassification or recapitalization of the
capital stock of the Company, any merger, consolidation or share
exchange involving the Company, or any transfer of all or
substantially all the assets of the Company to any other
corporation, entity or person, or any voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the
Company, the Company shall mail to each holder of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock (other than any such holder who is
also a holder of record, or the affiliate of a holder of record,
of shares of Common Stock, or is a director or executive
officer, or an affiliate of a director or executive officer, of
the Company) at least |
A-59
|
|
|
30 days prior to the record date specified therein, a
notice specifying: the date on which any such record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a
description of such dividend or distribution; the date on which
any such reorganization, reclassification, transfer,
consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is
expected to become effective; and the time, if any is to be
fixed, as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or
other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of
Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or other
property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up. |
|
|
(k) FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of
Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares
to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company
shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied
by the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date. Whether or not
the fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be
determined on the basis of the total number of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock the holder is at the time
converting into shares of Common Stock and the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion. |
|
|
(l) RESERVATION OF STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION.
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of
its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for
the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of
Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect
the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock. As a condition precedent to the taking of any
action which would cause an adjustment to the Conversion Price,
the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the
opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as
shall be sufficient in order that it may validly and legally
issue the shares of its Common Stock issuable based upon such
adjusted Conversion Price. |
|
|
(m) NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted by the
provisions of this paragraph 3 to be given to the holder of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock or the Company,
respectively, shall be deemed given when personally delivered to
such holder or the Company or five business days after the same
has been deposited in the United States mail, first class
postage prepaid and addressed to each holder of record at his
address appearing on the books of the Company or the
Companys registered office in the state of Illinois, as
the case may be, provided, however, that the written notice to
be delivered to the Company by the holder of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock in connection with the conversion
of such stock shall be effective only upon actual receipt by the
Company. |
|
|
(n) PAYMENT OF TAXES. The Company will pay all taxes
and other governmental charges (other than taxes measured by the
revenue or income of the holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock) that may be imposed in respect of the issue or
delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock. |
|
|
(o) NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not
amend its Certificate of Incorporation or participate in any
reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets,
consolidation, merger, share exchange, dissolution, issue or
sale of securities or any other voluntary action, for the
purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or
performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed
hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith
assist in carrying out all such action as may be reasonably
necessary or appropriate to protect the conversion rights of the
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock against
dilution or other impairment. |
|
|
(p) DUTY TO MAKE FAIR ADJUSTMENTS IN CERTAIN CASES.
If any event occurs as to which the other provisions of this
paragraph 3 are not strictly applicable or if strictly
applicable would not fairly protect the Conversion Rights of the
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance
with the essential intent and principles of such provisions,
then the Board shall make an adjustment in the application of
such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and
principles, so as adequately to protect such Conversion Rights. |
A-60
4. VOTING RIGHTS. The
holders of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall not
be entitled to vote, except: as required by law; to approve the
authorization or issuance of any shares of any class or series
of stock which ranks senior or on a parity with, the
Series A Preferred Stock in respect of dividends and
distributions upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the Company; and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock
shall have full voting rights in the following situations:
during any period of time when two dividend payments on shares
of Series A Preferred Stock have accrued but have remained
unpaid; upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred
Stock into shares of Common Stock; and if the holders of Common
Stock vote on a proposal to merge or otherwise enter into a
transaction with a third party pursuant to which Union is not
the surviving entity. In such event, the holder of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any
holders meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the
Company unless such holder is also a holder of record, or the
affiliate of a holder of record, of shares of Common Stock, or
is a director or executive officer, or an affiliate of a
director or executive officer, of the Company, and shall be
entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of full shares
of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A
Preferred Stock are fully convertible pursuant to
paragraph 3 above, at the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such
record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or
any written consent of stockholders is solicited.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall
vote as a separate class when required by law and to approve the
matters set forth in Section 4(a)(ii). In such
circumstances, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
(or such greater percentage as may be required by law or the
Companys certificate of incorporation or bylaws) of the
Common Stock and of the voting rights provided in this Section
for the Series A Preferred Stock, with each voting
separately as a class, shall be necessary to approve such
proposed action. In all other circumstances described in
Section 4(a), the holders of Series A Preferred Stock
shall vote with the holders of Common Stock and the affirmative
vote of the holders of a majority (or such greater percentage as
may be required by law or the Companys certificate of
incorporation or bylaws) of the Common Stock and of the voting
rights provided in this Section for the Series A Preferred
Stock, voting together as a single group, shall be necessary to
approve such proposed action.
5. LIQUIDATION. Upon the
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, whether
voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of Series A
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets
of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, the
amount of $1,000 per share, plus any dividends whether or
not declared or due which have accrued thereon through the date
of such distribution, but which remain unpaid, before any
payment or distribution shall be made on shares of Common Stock
or any other securities issued by the Company, except that
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall share
pro rata in any such payment or distribution with the holders of
Series B Preferred Stock. In the event the assets of the
Company available for distribution to the holders of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock upon any dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in
full all amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to
this paragraph, then all of the assets of the Company to be
distributed shall be distributed ratably to the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock.
After the payment to the holders of the shares of Series A
Preferred Stock of the full amounts provided for in this
paragraph, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock as such shall have no right or claim to any of the
remaining assets of the Company.
6. INFORMATION RIGHTS. The
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive audited annual financial statements of the
Company, as soon as such statements become available.

UNIONBANCORP, INC.
1. DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT.
The board of directors (the Board) of UnionBancorp,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), has
designated 1,092 shares of the Companys authorized
and unissued preferred stock as Series B Preferred
Stock, has authorized such shares for issuance at a price
of $1,000 per share (the Series B Preferred
Stock) and has determined that no further shares of
Series B Preferred Stock shall be issued.
2. DIVIDENDS.
(a) The holders of record of the then outstanding shares of
Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive when,
as and if declared by the Board out of any funds legally
available therefor, cumulative dividends at the annual rate of
$60.00 per share payable in four equal cash payments on the
20th day (or if not a business day, as defined below, on
the next business day thereafter) of April, July, October and
January commencing October, 1996, provided, however, that any
such quarterly cash payment shall be prorated with respect to
any shares of Series B Preferred Stock that were
outstanding less than the total number of days in the calendar
quarter immediately preceding any such payment date. The amount
of any such prorated cash payment shall be computed on the basis
of the actual number of days in any calendar quarter during
which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock were
outstanding. Each such dividend shall be payable to holders of
record as they appear on the stock books of the Company on such
record dates, not less than 10 and not more than 60 days
preceding the dividend payment date, as shall be fixed by the
Board. No dividends, other than those payable solely in the
Companys common stock, $1.00 par value (Common
Stock), shall be paid during any fiscal year of the
Company with respect to shares of Common Stock or any other
security issued by the Company other than Series A until
dividends in the total amount of $60.00 per share on
Series B Preferred Stock shall have been paid. Such
dividends shall accrue on each share of Series B Preferred
Stock from the date of issuance and from day to day thereafter,
whether or not earned or declared. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, such dividends shall be cumulative so that if such
dividends in respect of any previous or current annual dividend
period, at the annual rate specified above, shall not have been
paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof
set apart, the deficiency for any prior year and the amount owed
in the current year shall first be fully paid before any
dividend or other distribution shall be paid on or declared and
set apart for the shares of Common Stock. A business
day shall be deemed to be any day when trading of
securities occurs on the New York Stock Exchange.
(b) Unless full dividends on Series B Preferred Stock
for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend
period shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for
the payment thereof set apart: (i) no dividend whatsoever
whether in cash, securities or other property (other than a
dividend payable solely in shares of Common Stock) shall be paid
or declared and set aside for payment, and no distribution shall
be made, on any shares of Common Stock or other class of
preferred stock authorized after the date hereof except for the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the
Series A Preferred Stock); and (ii) no
shares of Common Stock or other class of preferred stock
authorized after the date hereof except the Series A
Preferred Stock shall be purchased, redeemed or otherwise
acquired by the Company and no funds shall be paid into or set
aside or made available for a sinking fund for the purchase,
redemption or other acquisition thereof without the approval of
the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
(c) The Company shall not permit any subsidiary of the
Company to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any
shares of stock of the Company unless the Company could, under
paragraph (b) of this Section 2, purchase or
otherwise acquire such shares at such time and such manner.
3. REDEMPTION.
(a) Each issued and outstanding share of Series B
Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of the holder or
his or her estate for cash as set forth below at any time after
the first to occur of: (i) the death of the
A-62
original holder of such share of Series B Preferred Stock;
or (ii) the tenth anniversary of the original issuance of
such share, in either case at a price of $1,000 per share,
plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon whether or not
declared, through the Redemption Date, as defined below
(collectively, the Redemption Price).
(b) Before any holder of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to redeem any such shares for cash, he
shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly
endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent
of Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock, with a written
notice that he elects to redeem the same and shall state therein
the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being
redeemed for cash and the name or names to whom such payment
shall be made. The date the Company receives such surrendered
certificates and written notice shall be deemed to be the
Redemption Date. Thereupon the Redemption Price for
such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose
name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner
thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled and
retired.
(c) If on the Redemption Date the
Redemption Price is paid, then the dividends with respect
to the shares of Series B Preferred Stock redeemed shall
cease to accrue after the Redemption Date.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this
paragraph 3(c) to the contrary, the Company shall not be
obligated to redeem for cash any shares of Series B
Preferred Stock if such redemption would cause the Company to be
in violation of any statute, rule, order, regulation or
agreement to which the Company is a party relating to minimum
capital requirements. The Company shall use its best efforts
promptly to remedy any such violation if the same has the effect
of preventing the redemption of any shares of Series B
Preferred Stock, and shall promptly complete the redemption of
shares after such violation has been cured.
4. VOTING RIGHTS.
(a) The holders of each share of Series B Preferred
Stock shall not be entitled to vote, except: (i) as
required by law; and (ii) to approve the authorization or
issuance of any shares of any class or series of stock which
ranks senior or on a parity with, the Series B Preferred
Stock in respect of dividends and distributions upon the
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall
vote as a separate class when required by law and to approve the
matters set forth in Section 4(a)(ii). In such
circumstances, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority
(or such greater percentage as may be required by law or the
Companys certificate of incorporation or bylaws) of the
voting rights provided in this Section for the Series B
Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, shall be
necessary to approve such proposed action by the holders of
Series B Preferred Stock.
5. LIQUIDATION. Upon the
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, whether
voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of Series B
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets
of the Company available for distribution to stockholders, the
amount of $1,000 per share, plus any dividends whether or
not declared or due which have accrued thereon through the date
of such distribution, but which remain unpaid, before any
payment or distribution shall be made on shares of Common Stock
or any other securities issued by the Company, except that
holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall share
pro rata in any such payment or distribution with the holders of
Series A Preferred Stock. In the event the assets of the
Company available for distribution to the holders of shares of
Series B Preferred Stock upon any dissolution, liquidation
or winding up of the Company shall be insufficient to pay in
full all amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to
this paragraph, then all of the assets of the Company to be
distributed shall be distributed ratably to the holders of
Series B Preferred Stock and Series A Preferred Stock.
After the payment to the holders of the shares of Series B
Preferred Stock of the full amounts provided for in this
paragraph, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred
Stock as such shall have no right or claim to any of the
remaining assets of the Company.

Board of Directors
UnionBancorp, Inc.
122 West Madison Street
Ottawa, IL 61350
Ladies and Gentlemen:
UnionBancorp, Inc. (Union) and Centrue Financial
Corporation (Centrue) have entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 30, 2006 (the
Agreement), pursuant to which Centrue will be merged
with and into Union (the Merger), with Union as the
surviving entity. Under the terms of the Agreement, at the
Effective Time and as a result of the Merger, each outstanding
share of Centrue common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
Centrue Common Stock), other then certain shares as
specified in the Agreement, will be converted into the right to
receive 1.2 shares (the Exchange Ratio) of Union
common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the Union Common
Stock). Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares.
Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Agreement. The other terms and
conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the
Agreement. You have requested our opinion as to the fairness,
from a financial point of view, of the Exchange Ratio to Union.
Sandler ONeill & Partners, L.P., as part of its
investment banking business, is regularly engaged in the
valuation of financial institutions and their securities in
connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate
transactions. In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed,
among other things: (i) the Agreement; (ii) certain
publicly available financial statements and other historical
financial information of Union that we deemed relevant;
(iii) certain publicly available financial statements and
other historical financial information of Centrue that we deemed
relevant; (iv) earnings per share estimates for Union for
the years ending December 31, 2006 through 2009 as provided
by, and reviewed with, senior management of Union;
(v) internal financial projections for Centrue for the
years ending December 31, 2006 through 2008 provided by and
reviewed with senior management of Centrue and as reviewed with
and adjusted by senior management of Union and estimated
financial projections for the year ended December 31, 2009
as discussed with senior managements of Union; (vi) the pro
forma financial impact of the Merger on Union, based on
assumptions relating to transaction expenses, purchase
accounting adjustments and cost savings determined by the senior
management of Union; (vii) the publicly reported historical
price and trading activity for Unions and Centrues
common stock, including a comparison of certain financial and
stock market information for Union and Centrue and similar
publicly available information for certain other companies the
securities of which are publicly traded; (viii) to the
extent publicly available, the financial terms of certain recent
merger of equals type business combinations in the commercial
banking industry; (ix) the current market environment
generally and the banking environment in particular; and
(x) such other information, financial studies, analyses and
investigations and financial, economic and market criteria as we
considered relevant. We also discussed with certain members of
senior management of Union the business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects of Union and held similar
discussions with certain members of senior management of Centrue
regarding the business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects of Centrue.
In performing our review, we have relied upon the accuracy and
completeness of all of the financial and other information that
was available to us from public sources or that was provided to
us by Union and Centrue or their respective representatives and
have assumed such accuracy and completeness for purposes of
rendering this opinion. We have further relied on the assurances
of management of Union and Centrue that they are not aware of
any facts or circumstances that would make any of such
information inaccurate or misleading. We have not been asked to
and have not undertaken an independent verification of any of
such information and we do not assume any responsibility or
liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof. We did not
make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the specific
assets, the collateral securing assets or the liabilities
(contingent or otherwise) of Union or Centrue or any of their
subsidiaries, or the collectibility of any such assets, nor have
we been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. We
did not make an independent evaluation of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses of Union and Centrue nor have we
B-1
reviewed any individual credit files relating to Union and
Centrue. We have assumed, with your consent, that the respective
allowances for loan losses for both Union and Centrue are
adequate to cover such losses.
With respect to the earnings estimates for Union and Centrue
reviewed with the managements of Union and Centrue and used by
us in our analyses, Unions and Centrues managements
confirmed to us that they reflected the best currently available
estimates and judgments of the respective managements of the
respective future financial performances of Union and Centrue,
respectively. With respect to the projections of transaction
expenses and cost savings determined by and reviewed with the
senior management of Union, management confirmed to us that they
reflected the best currently available estimates and judgments
of such management and we assumed that such performances would
be achieved. We express no opinion as to such financial
projections or the assumptions on which they are based. We have
also assumed that there has been no material change in
Unions and Centrues assets, financial condition,
results of operations, business or prospects since the date of
the most recent financial statements made available to us. We
have assumed in all respects material to our analysis that Union
and Centrue will remain as going concerns for all periods
relevant to our analyses, that all of the representations and
warranties contained in the Agreement and all related agreements
are true and correct, that each party to the agreements will
perform all of the covenants required to be performed by such
party under the agreements, that the conditions precedent in the
agreements are not waived and that the Merger will be a tax-free
reorganization for federal income tax purposes. Finally, with
your consent, we have relied upon the advice Union has received
from its legal, accounting and tax advisors as to all legal,
accounting and tax matters relating to the Merger and the other
transactions contemplated by the Agreement.
Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market
and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made
available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after
the date hereof could materially affect this opinion. We have
not undertaken to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw this
opinion or otherwise comment upon events occurring after the
date hereof. We are expressing no opinion herein as to what the
value of Unions common stock will be when issued to
Centrues shareholders pursuant to the Agreement or the
prices at which Unions and Centrues common stock may
trade at any time.
We have acted as Unions financial advisor in connection
with the Merger and will receive a fee for our services and for
rendering this opinion, a substantial portion of which is
contingent upon consummation of the Merger. Union has also
agreed to indemnify us against certain liabilities arising out
of our engagement.
In the ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we
may purchase securities from and sell securities to Union and
Centrue and their affiliates. We may also actively trade the
equity or debt securities of Union and Centrue or their
affiliates for our own account and for the accounts of our
customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short
position in such securities.
Our opinion is directed to the Board of Directors of Union in
connection with its consideration of the Merger and is directed
only to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the
Exchange Ratio to Union and does not address the underlying
business decision of Union to engage in the Merger, the relative
merits of the Merger as compared to any other alternative
business strategies that might exist for Union or the effect of
any other transaction in which Union might engage. Our opinion
is not to be quoted or referred to, in whole or in part, in a
registration statement, prospectus, proxy statement or in any
other document, nor shall this opinion be used for any other
purposes, without our prior written consent.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion, as
of the date hereof, that the Exchange Ratio is fair to Union
from a financial point of view.

The Board of Directors
Centrue Financial Corporation
303 Fountains Parkway
Fairview Heights, IL 62208
Members of the Board:
You have requested our opinion as investment bankers as to the
fairness, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders of
Centrue Financial Corporation (TRUE) of the exchange
ratio in the proposed merger (the Merger) between
TRUE and UnionBancorp, Inc. (UBCD), pursuant to the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 30, 2006,
between TRUE and UBCD (the Agreement). Pursuant to
the terms of the Agreement, each outstanding share of the common
stock of TRUE (the Common Shares), $0.01 par value
per share, shall be converted at the effective time of the
Merger into the right to receive 1.2 shares of common stock of
UBCD, $1.00 par value per share.
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., as part of its investment
banking business, is continually engaged in the valuation of
bank and bank holding company securities in connection with
acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions
of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and
valuations for various other purposes. As specialists in the
securities of banking companies, we have experience in, and
knowledge of, the valuation of the banking enterprises. In the
ordinary course of our business as a broker-dealer, we may, from
time to time purchase securities from, and sell securities to,
TRUE and UBCD, and as a market maker in securities, we may from
time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell,
debt or equity securities of TRUE and UBCD for our own account
and for the accounts of our customers. To the extent we have any
such position as of the date of this opinion it has been
disclosed to TRUE. We have acted exclusively for the Board of
Directors of TRUE in rendering this fairness opinion and will
receive a fee from TRUE for our services.
In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, analyzed and
relied upon material bearing upon the financial and operating
condition of TRUE and UBCD and the Merger, including among other
things, the following: (i) the Agreement; (ii) the
Annual Reports to Stockholders and Annual Reports on
Form 10-K for the three years ended December 31, 2005
of TRUE and UBCD; (iii) certain interim reports to
stockholders and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q of TRUE and
UBCD and certain other communications from TRUE and UBCD to
their respective stockholders; (iv) earnings per share
estimates for TRUE and UBCD for the years ending
December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, as prepared by management
and discussed with management; (v) historical stock prices
and trading volumes of the common stock of TRUE and UBCD; and
(vi) other financial information concerning the businesses
and operations of TRUE and UBCD furnished to us by TRUE and UBCD
for purposes of our analysis. We have also held discussions with
senior management of TRUE and UBCD regarding the past and
current business operations, regulatory relations, financial
condition and future prospects of their respective companies and
such other matters as we have deemed relevant to our inquiry. In
addition, we have compared certain financial and stock market
information for TRUE and UBCD with similar information for
certain other companies the securities of which are publicly
traded, reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business
combinations in the banking industry and performed such other
studies and analyses as we considered appropriate.
In conducting our review and arriving at our opinion, we have
relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the
financial and other information provided to us or publicly
available and we have not assumed any responsibility for
independently verifying the accuracy or completeness of any such
information. We have relied upon the management of TRUE and UBCD
as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and
operating forecasts and projections (and the assumptions and
bases therefore) provided to us, and we have assumed that such
forecasts and projections reflect the best currently available
estimates and judgments of such managements and that such
forecasts and projections will be realized in the amounts and in
the time periods currently estimated by such managements. We are
not experts in the independent verification of the adequacy of
allowances for loan and lease losses and we have assumed, with
your consent, that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease
losses for TRUE and UBCD are adequate to cover such losses. In
rendering our
C-1
opinion, we have not made or obtained any evaluations or
appraisals of the property of TRUE or UBCD, nor have we examined
any individual credit files.
We have considered such financial and other factors as we have
deemed appropriate under the circumstances, including, among
others, the following: (i) the historical and current
financial position and results of operations of TRUE and UBCD;
(ii) the assets and liabilities of TRUE and UBCD; and
(iii) the nature and terms of certain other merger
transactions involving banks and bank holding companies. We have
also taken into account our assessment of general economic,
market and financial conditions and our experience in other
transactions, as well as our experience in securities valuation
and knowledge of the banking industry generally. Our opinion is
necessarily based upon conditions as they exist and can be
evaluated on the date hereof and the information made available
to us through the date hereof.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that,
as of the date hereof, the exchange ratio in the Merger is fair,
from a financial point of view, to holders of the Common Shares.

Item 20. |
Indemnification of Directors and Officers |
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware (Section 145) authorizes a court to
award, or a corporations board of directors to grant,
indemnification to directors and officers in terms that are
sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain
circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for
expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.
UnionBancorps certificate of incorporation contains a
provision eliminating the personal liability of its directors to
the company or its stockholders consistent with
Section 145. UnionBancorps bylaws provide for the
mandatory indemnification of our directors, officers, employees
and agents to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law.
UnionBancorps bylaws require that, before any individual
is indemnified, the corporation must determine that
indemnification is proper under the circumstances because the
person has met the applicable standard of conduct. This
determination is made (a) by a majority vote of the
directors who are not parties to the action, proceeding or suit,
or (b) if such directors so direct, by independent legal
counsel, or (c) by the stockholders.

(i) To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the Act); |
|
|
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof), which
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement;
notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if |
II-2
|
|
|
the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed
that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or
high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes
in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
Calculation of Registration Fee table in the
effective registration statement; and |
|
|
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement. |
|
|
|
(b) That for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof. |
|
|
(c) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that
prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered
hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this
registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to
be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the
issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain
the information called for by the applicable registration form
with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed
underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the
other items of the applicable form.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that every
prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately
preceding paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the
requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in
connection with an offering of securities subject to
Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the
registration statement and will not be used until such amendment
is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion
of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to
requests for information that is incorporated by reference into
the joint proxy statement-prospectus pursuant to items 4,
10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of
receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents
by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes
information contained in the documents filed subsequent to the
effective date of this registration statement through the date
of responding to the request.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means
of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a
transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein,
that was not the subject of and included in this registration
statement when it became effective.
