The proposed acquisition follows a strict legal framework where the shares are offered on an 'as-is, where-is' basis, free of existing liens or encumbrances. Bank7 has committed a $7.25 million good-faith deposit to validate its offer, which will be applied toward the total purchase price should the bid succeed.

Bank7 Launches $68 Million Bid for Century Financial Services
Bank7 has initiated a $68 million move to secure a controlling interest in Century Financial Services, positioning itself as the initial bidder in a court-supervised process. The deal involves acquiring a 71% stake, setting a baseline valuation as the company prepares for potential competing offers in an Arizona federal court.
Should the auction process conclude with a higher offer from a competitor, Bank7 is contractually protected by a $2.04 million break-up fee. This arrangement ensures that the firm is compensated for its role as the stalking horse bidder if the agreement is terminated or another entity prevails during the court-overseen auction.
