Merger Agreement Amendment
FirstSun Capital Bancorp and First Foundation Inc. entered into Amendment No. 1 to their Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 6, 2026.

Revised Non-Voting Stock Conversion

Conversion is now permitted only if a corporate action reduces the holder's voting securities percentage, and only to prevent acquiring a greater percentage than held prior to such action.

No Economic Impact on Merger
The amendment explicitly states that it does not modify the merger consideration, exchange ratio, voting mechanics, or any other economic terms of the merger.
Analysis · FSUN · Finance
This amendment clarifies the terms under which non-voting common stock can be converted into voting common stock, specifically addressing regulatory ownership limits. While it does not impact the financial terms of the merger, it is a significant corporate governance detail for the combined entity, particularly for holders of non-voting shares. This structural adjustment ensures compliance with banking regulations regarding voting control. Investors should note that the core economic value of the merger remains unchanged, but the flexibility for non-voting shareholders to convert their shares has been redefined.
