CROSSFIRST BANKSHARES, INC. TO ENTER COLORADO AND NEW
 
MEXICO MARKETS
WITH ACQUISITION OF FARMERS & STOCKMENS BANK / CENTRAL BANK & TRUST
LEAWOOD Kan., June 13, 2022 – CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: CFB, “CrossFirst”) and Central
Bancorp, Inc. (“Central”) today announced that they have entered
 
into a definitive merger agreement
under which CrossFirst’s bank subsidiary, CrossFirst Bank (“CFB Bank”), will acquire Central’s bank
subsidiary, Farmers & Stockmens Bank (“F&S Bank”), in an all-cash transaction. F&S Bank currently
has Central Bank & Trust branches in Denver and Colorado Springs and Farmers & Stockmens
 
Bank
branches in New Mexico.
 
Central will retain its wealth management subsidiaries, The Corundum
 
Group
and Corundum Trust Company.
 
The combination will bring together complementary banking platforms with
 
management teams that
share a commitment to the clients and businesses they serve. When completed,
 
the transaction is expected
to widen the scope of the CrossFirst franchise, providing an enlarged footprint
 
with further expansion
opportunities in the Colorado and New Mexico markets. Based
 
on current estimates, the combined
company will have approximately $6.2 billion in assets, $4.9 billion
 
in loans and $5.3 billion in deposits,
with banking locations in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona.
CrossFirst believes that providing F&S Bank and its clients with access
 
to CFB Bank’s broader array of
banking offerings, larger capabilities, and focus on technology will spur the overall growth
 
of the F&S
Bank platform and provide enhanced benefits for clients. CrossFirst expects
 
that in addition to providing
access to dynamic target markets, the acquisition will further diversify its revenue
 
streams and add
additional liquidity for growth. Specifically, CrossFirst plans to incorporate both F&S Bank’s SBA and
agricultural lending capabilities into its current platform, while also bolstering
 
its private banking
business, a fundamental aspect of both companies’ offerings.
 
“We are thrilled to welcome Farmers & Stockmens and Central Bank & Trust clients and employees to
our CrossFirst team,” commented Mike Maddox, CrossFirst’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
“This transaction represents an exciting milestone for our company, allowing us to enter new, dynamic
markets, and expand our capabilities by partnering with an impressive
 
team of bankers. We have
tremendous respect for the Farmers & Stockmens and Central Bank
 
& Trust management teams and are
confident this combination will create extraordinary value for our stockholders,
 
our clients, our
employees, and our communities.”
Scott Page, F&S Bank’s Chief Executive Officer, added, “We
 
are delighted to join a bank that shares our
cultural values and commitment to its clients as we embark on this next
 
chapter for Farmers & Stockmens
Bank. We have built a successful and differentiated franchise in our local communities, and this
combination will provide our clients with the full breadth of CrossFirst’s comprehensive set of products,
services and systems.”

Under the terms of the merger agreement, F&S shareholders are expected to receive
 
approximately $75.0
million in aggregate merger consideration in cash at closing.
 
The transaction is currently expected to be $0.17, or 11.7%, accretive to CrossFirst’s earnings per share in
2023, assuming fully phased in cost savings. The earnings per share
 
accretion estimates are based on
anticipated cost savings of 20% of F&S Bank’s non-interest expense and do not include any impact due to
potential revenue synergies, although opportunities have been identified.
 
The agreement was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of
 
each company and bank. The
transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2022, subject to
 
approval by Central shareholders
and bank regulatory authorities
, as well as the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
 
The
parties have entered into a voting agreement with certain F&S Bank
 
and Central directors and executive
officers whereby they have agreed to vote in favor of the transaction in their capacity
 
as shareholders.
 
CrossFirst was advised in this transaction by Keefe, Bruyette &
 
Woods, A Stifel Company as financial
advisor and Stinson LLP as legal counsel. Central was advised by Piper
 
Sandler & Co. as financial
advisor and Otteson Shapiro LLP as legal counsel.

and book value), the consideration payable in connection with the acquisition,
 
statements related to the expected
completion and timing of the completion of the merger,

Forward-looking statements often, but not always, include words such as “believes,”
 
“expected,”
“anticipated,” “estimates,” “opportunities,” “approximately,”
 
“plans”, “will” or the negative of these words,
variations thereof or other similar words and expressions. These forward
 
-looking statements are subject to numerous
assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. Because forward
 
-looking statements are subject to
assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could
 
differ, possibly materially,
 
from those that
CrossFirst anticipated in its forward-looking statements and future results could
 
differ materially from historical
performance. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
 
include, but are not limited to, the following:
the expected benefits of the acquisition may not materialize in the timeframe expected
 
or at all, or may be more
costly to achieve; the acquisition may not be timely completed, if at all; the
 
occurrence of any event, change or other
circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate
 
the definitive transaction
agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against
 
CrossFirst or Central; prior to the
completion of the acquisition or thereafter,
 
CrossFirst’s and Central’s
 
respective businesses may not perform as
expected due to transaction-related uncertainty or other factors; the parties
 
may be unable to successfully implement
integration strategies; required regulatory,
 
Central shareholder or other approvals may not be obtained or other
closing conditions may not be satisfied in a timely manner or at all; adverse regulatory
 
conditions may be imposed
in connection with regulatory approvals of the acquisition; reputational risks and
 
risks relating to the reaction of the
companies’ customers or employees to the transaction, including
 
the effects on the ability of CrossFirst to attract or
retain customers and key personnel; diversion of management time on acquisition-related
 
issues; risks relating to the
COVID-19 pandemic, including uncertainty and volatility in financial,
 
commodities and other markets, and
disruptions to banking and other financial activity.
 
Such risks, uncertainties and factors could harm CrossFirst’s
 
or
Central's business, financial position, and results of operations, and could
 
adversely affect the timing and anticipated
benefits of the proposed acquisition.
 
Additional discussion of these and other risks, uncertainties and factors
affecting CrossFirst’s business
 
is contained in CrossFirst’s filings with
 
the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”), including in CrossFirst’s Annual

events, or changes in our
business, results of operations or financial condition over time.

About non
gaap financial measures CROSSFIRST BANKSHARES, INC.
 
Certain of the financial measures and ratios we present, including “tangi
ble common equity”, “tangible assets”, “tangible book value”,
 
and “tang
ible book value per share” metrics, are supplemental measures that are
 
not required by, or are not presented in accordance wi
th, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer
 
to these financial measures and ratios as “non
GAAP financial me
asures.” We consider the use of select non
GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational
 
decision making and useful in evaluating period
to
period comparisons. We believe that these non
GAAP financial measures provide meanin
gful supplemental information regarding our performance
 
by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not i
ndicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting
 
certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We
believ
e that management and investors benefit from referring to these
 
non
GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance
 
and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present
 
an
d future periods. These non
GAAP financial measures should not
be considered a substitute for financial information presented
 
in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non
GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance.
 
The non
GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non
GAAP financia
l measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for
 
these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measure
s whenever we present the non
GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of
 
the impact of the components adjusted fo
r in the non
GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual
 
components may be considered when analyzing our
performance. CrossFirst does not provide a reconciliation of forward
looking non
GAAP financial measures to its comparable GAAP fin
ancial measures because it could not do so without unreasonable
 
effort due to the unavailability of the information needed to
calculate reconciling items and the variability, complexity
 
and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be exclu
ded f
rom the non
GAAP financial measures in future periods. When planning,
 
forecasting and analyzing future periods, CrossFirst does so primar
ily on a non
GAAP basis without preparing a GAAP analysis as that would
 
require estimates for various cash and non
cash
reconciling items (including items such as expected credit losses,
 
acquisition
and disposition
related expenses, and restru
cturing costs) that would be difficult to predict with reasonable
 
accuracy. For example, future expectations for credit losse
s depe
nd on a variety of factors including general economic conditions
 
that make estimation on a GAAP basis impractical. It is also
difficult to anticipate the need for or magnitude of presently unforeseen
 
one
time restructuring expenses. As a result, CrossFirst
does not believe that a GAAP reconciliation to forward
looking non
GAAP financial measures would provide meaningful supplemental information
 
about CrossFirst’s forward
looking measures. 3
