Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On July 9, 2010, Enterprise Financial Services Corp (the “Company”) announced that its wholly owned bank subsidiary, Enterprise Bank & Trust (“Enterprise Bank”), has entered into a definitive agreement with the FDIC, as receiver for Home National Bank (“Home National”), pursuant to which Enterprise Bank acquired approximately $260 million in loans originated and other real estate acquired by the Phoenix, Arizona operations of Home National.
 
Home National was closed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on July 9, 2010. Home National was headquartered in Blackwell, Oklahoma and operated branches in Oklahoma, Kansas and Arizona. Enterprise Bank purchased only the loans originated and other real estate acquired by the Arizona operations of Home National, predominantly in the Arizona market. Enterprise Bank did not assume any deposits or acquire any branches or other assets of Home National as part of this transaction.
 
The transaction closed on July 13, 2010. At the closing, Enterprise Bank paid a purchase price for the assets of $223,733,926, which represents a 12.5% discount from the book value of the acquired assets on the closing date. The purchase price was paid in cash at the closing.
 
As part of the transaction, Enterprise Bank and the FDIC have entered into a loss sharing agreement whereby the FDIC will reimburse Enterprise Bank for 80% of losses incurred on the assets. The loss sharing agreement commences immediately and there is no first loss tranche for Enterprise Bank. Enterprise Bank has a corresponding obligation to reimburse the FDIC for 80% of all eligible recoveries on covered assets.
 
A copy of the press release announcing the transaction is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
