Item 2.03

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

     On May 7, 2008, and in connection with the Merger described in Item 7.01 below, Tompkins Financial Corporation (the “Company”), as borrower, drew down $21 million of an available $25 million line of credit, pursuant to its existing Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The Credit Facility was previously described in Item 2.03 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 2, 2008.

 

 

Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

     Effective May 8, 2008, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 9, 2007 (the “Merger Agreement”), a subsidiary of the Company was merged with and into Sleepy Hollow Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”), with Bancorp continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The common stock of Bancorp outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into the right to receive $5,095.32 per share in cash, without interest, resulting in total cash merger consideration of approximately $30.2 million. Immediately following the Merger, Sleepy Hollow Bank, Bancorp’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, was merged with and into Mahopac National Bank, a wholly-owned bank subsidiary of the Company. The Company funded the merger consideration with a combination of proceeds from a draw of approximately $21 million under its existing $25 million line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, and cash on hand. On May 9, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the Merger. A copy of the press release is attached herewith as Exhibit 99.1. The description of the merger set forth above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed by the Company as Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 13, 2007. The information under this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
