Item 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

Effective as of December 6, 2013, Croghan Bancshares, Inc. (“Croghan”) completed the merger of Indebancorp with and into Croghan (the “Merger”) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 20, 2013 (the “Merger Agreement”). Immediately following the Merger, Indebancorp’s national bank subsidiary, National Bank of Ohio (“NBOH”), was merged with and into Croghan’s state bank subsidiary, The Croghan Colonial Bank (the “Bank Merger”). As a result of the Bank Merger, the four full-service banking offices of NBOH, located in Oak Harbor, Port Clinton, Oregon and Curtice, Ohio, became full service branches of The Croghan Colonial Bank, and the two loan production offices of NBOH, located in Perrysburg and Fremont, Ohio, became loan production offices of The Croghan Colonial Bank.

As a result of the Merger and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the outstanding Indebancorp common shares were converted into the right to receive either (i) Croghan common shares at the exchange rate of 1.63 Croghan common shares for each Indebancorp common share, (ii) cash in the amount of $55.00 for each Indebancorp common share, or (iii) a combination of cash and Croghan common shares. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the shareholders of Indebancorp were provided the opportunity to request the form of merger consideration that they wished to receive in the Merger by submitting an Election Form/Letter of Transmittal to Croghan’s exchange agent, Registrar and Transfer Company, on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 27, 2013. The requests submitted by Indebancorp shareholders, however, are subject to the allocation and proration procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement. Subject to adjustment for cash paid in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares, the requests of Indebancorp shareholders will be allocated on a pro-rata basis so that, in the aggregate, 70% of the Indebancorp common shares outstanding at the effective time of the Merger will be exchanged for Croghan common shares and 30% of the outstanding Indebancorp common shares will be exchanged for cash.

At the time of the Merger, Indebancorp had 519,082 common shares outstanding. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, Croghan will pay to the Indebancorp shareholders aggregate consideration consisting of 592,099 Croghan common shares and approximately $8.57 million in cash (including cash to be paid in lieu of fractional Croghan common shares).

A copy of Croghan’s December 12, 2013 press release announcing the completion of the Merger is included with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors of Croghan appointed John Caputo and James Dunn to serve on the Board of Directors of Croghan effective upon the completion of the Merger on December 6, 2013. Messrs. Caputo and Dunn were also appointed to serve on the Board of Directors of The Croghan Colonial Bank effective upon the completion of the Bank Merger. Each of the newly-appointed directors served on the Boards of Directors of Indebancorp and NBOH prior to the completion of the Merger.
