ITEM 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
 
Effective on September 30, 2017, Emclaire Financial Corp ("Emclaire") completed its acquisition of Northern Hancock Bank and Trust Co. ("Northern Hancock") in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 4, 2017, by and between Emclaire and Northern Hancock (the "Merger Agreement"), and a related Agreement of Merger by and between Northern Hancock and The Farmers National Bank of Emlenton, the wholly-owned banking subsidiary of Emclaire ("Farmers National") (the "Bank Merger Agreement").

On September 29, 2017, the Merger Agreement was amended to reduce the cash consideration for each share of NHBT common stock to $0.361 to reflect certain adjustments to Northern Hancock's closing balance sheet.   Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as amended, and the related Bank Merger Agreement, Northern Hancock was merged with and into Farmers National (the "Merger").  Upon completion of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of Northern Hancock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.9793 of a share of common stock of Emclaire, plus $0.361 in cash (or in the aggregate 58,445 shares of Emclaire common stock and $21,563 in cash).

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement, as amended, and the Merger does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, as amended, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
