Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 28, 2006, Community Bancorp (the “Company”) and Valley Bancorp (“Valley”) entered into an Agreement to Merge and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”), under which the Company would acquire Valley and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Valley Bank.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the merger was completed as of the close of business on October 13, 2006, and Valley merged with and into the Company, with Community Bancorp being the surviving entity. Immediately thereafter, Valley Bank was merged with and into Community Bank of Nevada.

The transaction is valued at $137.4 million, including cancellation of options for Valley Bancorp stock. Valley stockholders received $46.00 per share in cash, shares of Community common stock, or a combination of cash and stock subject to an aggregate consideration mix of 75% stock and 25% cash. Valley stockholders received $46.00 per share, as the average closing price for Community’s stock for the 20 trading days ending three days prior to closing was valued at $31.69, which is between $28.26 and $34.54 per share, as outlined in the Agreement. The exchange ratio was 1.4516 share of the Company’s common stock per Valley common share. Accordingly, the Company is paying $32.5 million in cash and issuing 3,078,633 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for all outstanding Valley shares. Cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount based on a price of $31.69 per share of the Company’s common stock.

There were no material relationships between Valley, its officers, shareholders or employees and Community Bancorp and subsidiaries, its officers, shareholders or employees, other than in respect to the transaction.

 

Item 5.02
