Material Changes and Corporate Action
On February 10, 2026, the MHC board adopted a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization to transition from a two-tier mutual holding company structure to a fully-public stock holding company structure. Key elements of this "second-step" conversion include:
- Dissolution of MHC: The MHC, which currently owns approximately 57% of the Company's outstanding common stock, will cease to exist following the conversion.
- Stock Offering: The Company will offer and sell shares of common stock representing the MHC's ownership interest through a subscription offering, potentially supplemented by community offerings or underwritten offerings.
- Share Exchange: Existing shares held by persons other than the MHC will be exchanged for new shares based on an exchange ratio designed to preserve percentage ownership interests.
- Eligibility: The eligibility record date for depositors to receive subscription rights is set as December 31, 2024.
- Valuation: The number and price of shares, as well as the exchange ratio, will be determined by an independent appraisal based on the Company's pro forma market value on a fully converted basis.
Guidance, Outlook, and Approvals
The Plan is subject to several critical approvals before it can be executed:
- Regulatory approval.
- Approval by the depositors of Rhinebeck Bank.
- Approval by the Company's stockholders, including a majority of outstanding shares held by persons other than the MHC.
The filing references a press release issued on the same date and incorporates the full text of the Plan of Conversion and Reorganization as Exhibit 2.1.
