Dow Jones

07/22

First Financial Bancorp's deal for Finward is projected to be approximately 5% accretive to First Financial's earnings per share, according to the companies. Tangible book value dilution at closing is estimated at just 0.4%, with an anticipated earnback period of 0.6 years. Finward's $1.5 billion loan portfolio and $412 million in assets under management will fold into First Financial's existing business lines. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter, pending regulatory approvals and Finward shareholder approval.
