Material Changes
On February 10, 2015, the California Department of Business Oversight (CDBO) held a fairness hearing regarding the proposed merger. The CDBO determined that the transaction is fair, just, and equitable to Simplicity stockholders. Consequently, the CDBO issued a permit to register the shares to be issued in the transaction under the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968. This permit allows the shares to be used as merger consideration as an exempt security under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, meaning HomeStreet will not need to register these shares with the SEC.
