On June 1, 2020, Wellesley Bancorp, Inc. (“Wellesley” or the “Company”), the parent holding company of Wellesley Bank, completed the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 5, 2019 (the “Agreement”), by and among Wellesley, Wellesley Bank Cambridge Bancorp (“Cambridge”), and Cambridge Trust Company. On June 1, 2020, (i) Wellesley was merged with and into Cambridge, with Cambridge continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”) (the effective time of the Merger, the “Effective Time”) and (ii) simultaneously with the Merger, Wellesley Bank was merged with and into Cambridge Trust Company, with Cambridge Trust Company continuing as the surviving bank (together with the Merger, the “Mergers”). The Mergers were described in the definitive proxy statement (File No. 001-35352) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Schedule 14A on February 4, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”).

At the Effective Time, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Wellesley (“Wellesley Stock”) was converted into the right to receive 0.580 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Cambridge, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares (the “Merger Consideration”). Also at the Effective Time, each option to purchase Wellesley Stock was converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to $32.42 less the option exercise price, if such amount was greater than zero.

The foregoing summary of the Agreement and the Mergers is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Agreement, which is filed as Annex A to the Proxy Statement and which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.

Upon the consummation of the Merger and the final approval by Nasdaq, the Company common stock will no longer be traded on Nasdaq, and price quotations with respect to the Company common stock in the public market will no longer be available. The Company has also requested that Nasdaq file a notification of removal from listing of the Company common stock on Form 25 with the SEC.

The Company intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to request the termination of the registration of the Company common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act as promptly as possible.
