First Reliance shareholders will receive either $19.75 in cash or 0.94 of a Colony common share per First Reliance share, subject to proration. Approximately 20% of First Reliance shares will be converted to cash and the remaining 80% to Colony Bankcorp stock.
First Reliance insiders will receive substantial benefits as part of change of control arrangements.
