As previously reported, on August 7, 2022, Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida (the “Company,” “we,” or “our” or “Seacoast”), the parent company of Seacoast National Bank (“SNB”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) providing for the merger (the “Merger”) of the Company with and into Professional Holding Corp. (“Professional”), the parent company of Professional Bank, and the merger of Professional Bank with and into SNB (together with the Merger, the “Mergers”). In connection with the Mergers, the Company and Professional each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a definitive proxy statement, dated November 14, 2022 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), and Professional commenced mailing the Definitive Proxy Statement to shareholders of Professional on or about November 14, 2022.
Since October 24, 2022, Professional has received demand letters from certain purported shareholders of Professional (the “Demand Letters”). The Demand Letters allege that the Definitive Proxy Statement (or the related preliminary proxy statement, filed on October 4, 2022) contains certain disclosure deficiencies.
Seacoast and Professional have not responded to the Demand Letters and believe they are without merit. However, in order to moot the unmeritorious disclosure claims, alleviate the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, and provide additional information to its shareholders, the Company is voluntarily supplementing the Definitive Proxy Statement with the supplemental disclosures described in the following section entitled “Supplemental Disclosures” in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K is an admission, or shall be deemed an admission, of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, the Company denies all allegations in the Demand Letters that additional disclosure was or is required.
Supplemental Disclosures
The following are additional disclosures that supplement the disclosures contained in, and that should be read in conjunction with, the Definitive Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. To the extent that information in this supplemental disclosure differs from, or updates information contained in, the Definitive Proxy Statement, the information in this supplemental disclosure shall supersede or supplement the information in the Definitive Proxy Statement. Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Definitive Proxy Statement.
The Definitive Proxy Statement is herebyrevised to reflect the following:
| 1. | The disclosure under the heading “Proposal 1: The Merger – Background of the Merger”is supplemented by adding the following underlined text to the third full paragraph on page 39 of the Definitive Proxy: |
|---|
The parties had no further contact until April 12, 2022, when Mr. Martens advised Mr. Shaffer that on April 11, 2022, Professional had received an unsolicited non-binding letter of intent from a third party seeking to purchase Professional. Prior to the receipt of the letter of intent, neither the Professional board of directors nor its management had intended to solicit a sale or merger of Professional. Mr. Martens and Mr. Shaffer informally discussed Seacoast’s interest in a potential merger/acquisition transaction with Professional. At approximately the same time, Professional’s investment bankers, Stephens, informally contacted Piper Sandler, investment bankers to Seacoast, to discuss a potential transaction. On April 13, 2022, Seacoast formally engaged Piper Sandler to act as its exclusive financial advisor in connection with a possible transaction. Following further discussions, on April 15, 2022, Professional and Seacoast entered into a confidentiality agreement containing customary terms, including a waivable standstill provision, in connection with a possible transaction.
| 2. | The disclosure under the heading “Proposal 1: The Merger – Background of the Merger”is supplemented by adding the following underlined text to the sixth full paragraph on page 39 of the Definitive Proxy: |
|---|
Following its engagement, Stephens contacted 11 potential parties, including Seacoast and the initial third-party offeror, with regard to a possible combination with Professional. Three of those parties entered into confidentiality agreements containing customary terms, including waivable standstill provisions, with Professional, following which they were given access to a virtual data room. The parties were further advised that the deadline for the submission of a bid was June 1, 2022. Three potential buyers submitted proposals to purchase Professional, including Seacoast.
| 3. | The disclosure under the heading “Proposal 1: The Merger — Opinion of Seacoast’sFinancial Advisor — Comparable Company Analyses” is amended by deleting the table of company names at the bottom of page 48(the Seacoast Peer Group) of the Definitive Proxy Statement and replacing it with the following: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Piper Sandler performed an analysis that estimated the net present value of a share of Seacoast common stock assuming Seacoast performed in accordance with publicly available mean analyst balance sheet and earnings per share estimates for Seacoast for the years ending December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023 with a long-term annual net income and balance sheet growth rate for the years ending December 31, 2024 through December 31, 2026, as provided by the senior management of Seacoast. To approximate the terminal value of a share of Seacoast common stock at December 31, 2026, Piper Sandler applied price to 2026 earnings multiples ranging from 10.0x to 17.5x and multiples of 2026 tangible book value ranging from 150% to 225%. Piper Sandler selected these price to earnings and tangible book value multiples based on Piper Sandler’s review of, among other matters, the trading multiples of selected companies that Piper Sandler deemed to be comparable to Seacoast. The terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 8.0% to 12.0%, which were chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of Seacoast common stock. As illustrated in the following tables, the analysis indicated an imputed range of values per share of Seacoast common stock of $19.50 to $38.27 when applying multiples of earnings and $24.30 to $41.74 when applying multiples of tangible book value.

Piper Sandler also performed an analysis that estimated the net present value per share of Professional common stock, assuming Professional performed in accordance with certain financial projection assumptions for Professional for the years ending December 31, 2022 through December 31, 2026, as provided by the senior management of Seacoast. To approximate the terminal value of a share of Professional common stock at December 31, 2026, Piper Sandler applied price to 2026 earnings multiples ranging from 8.0x to 13.0x and multiples of 2026 tangible book value ranging from 125% to 175%. Piper Sandler selected these price to earnings and tangible book value multiples based on Piper Sandler’s review of, among other matters, the trading multiples of selected companies that Piper Sandler deemed to be comparable to Professional. The terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 9.0% to 13.0%, which were chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of Professional common stock. As illustrated in the following tables, the analysis indicated an imputed range of values per share of Professional common stock of $11.71 to $22.58 when applying multiples of earnings and $18.31 to $30.41 when applying multiples of tangible book value.

Shareholders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names, affiliations, and interests of certain of Professional’s executive officers and directors in the solicitation by reading Professional’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Definitive Proxy Statement, and other relevant materials filed with the SEC in connection with the Mergers.

Cautionary LanguageRegarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including statements included or incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K, are not statements of historical fact and constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are intended to be protected by the safe harbor provided by that Act. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and include information about possible or assumed future results of operations of Seacoast after the Merger is completed, as well as information about the Merger.
