Explanatory Note
On January 31, 2023, Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida (“Seacoast” or the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to report under Item 2.01 that the Company and Seacoast's wholly-owned subsidiary Seacoast National Bank, had completed its previously announced merger (the “Merger”) with Professional Holding Corp. (“Professional”) (NASDAQ: PFHD), parent company of Professional Bank. At the effective time of the Merger, Professional merged with and into Seacoast, and Professional Bank merged with and into Seacoast National Bank, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Seacoast, Seacoast National Bank, Professional and Professional Bank, dated as of August 7, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”).
This Amendment No. 1 amends the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 31, 2023 to include the financial statements and unaudited pro forma combined financial information referred to in Item 9.01(a) and (b) below relating to the Merger.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K, including the pro forma combined financial information attached hereto, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The pro forma combined financial information is based on preliminary estimates and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the pro forma combined financial information or the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the pro forma combined financial information. The pro forma combined financial information and forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified and, consequently, the actual performance of the Company may differ materially from that expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include the risks detailed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and in the other documents the Company files with the SEC. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance
