Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Effective May 15, 2020, Bank First Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation (“BFC”), completed its previously-announced merger (the “Merger”) with Tomah Bancshares, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“TB”), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between BFC and TB, dated November 19, 2019 (the “Merger Agreement”). At the closing, TB merged with and into BFC, with BFC as the surviving corporation. Following the Merger, TB’s wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Timberwood Bank, merged with and into BFC’s wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Bank First, N.A. (“Bank First”), with Bank First as the surviving bank and continuing its corporate existence under the name “Bank First, N.A.” (the “Bank Merger”, and together with the Merger, the “Mergers”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, TB shareholders are entitled to receive for each share of TB common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger 5.1445 shares of BFC’s common stock. Each outstanding share of BFC common stock remained outstanding and was unaffected by the Mergers. As a result of the Mergers, BFC will issue approximately 576,604 shares of BFC common stock in the aggregate to former TB shareholders.

The foregoing description of the Mergers and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 2.1 to BFC’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2019.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 18, 2020, BFC issued a press release announcing the completion of the Mergers. A copy of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
