Summary
Oregon Bancorp, the parent of Willamette Valley Bank, agreed to be acquired by Gesa Credit Union in an all-cash deal. Shareholders are expected to receive $43.00 to $45.00 per share, a significant premium to the current $27.00 stock price. The transaction, unanimously approved by all boards, is expected to close in the first half of 2027, pending regulatory and shareholder approvals.
