What happened
Texas Capital Bancshares' (TCBI 3.16%) stock popped nearly 10% on Monday after news broke of its multibillion-dollar merger with Independent Bank Group (IBTX 2.07%).
So what
Texas Capital will merge with Independent Bank in an all-stock $5.5 billion deal. The combined company will oversee approximately $48 billion in assets and $39 billion in deposits. The companies say the greater scale of the merged bank will allow it to make larger investments in technology and better manage risk.
Under terms of the deal, Texas Capital shareholders will receive 1.0311 shares of Independent Bank Group for each share of Texas Capital they possess.
"Independent Bank Group is an outstanding complement to Texas Capital with its enviable commercial branch network, small business market leadership and solid deposit funding model in combination with our strong corporate banking practice and powerful technology and compliance infrastructure," Texas Capital CEO C. Keith Cargill said in a press release.
The combination is expected to produce approximately $100 million in annual cost savings, thereby allowing the merged business to generate higher profitability and return-on-investment metrics than either company could alone.

Now what
The merger is expected to close in mid-2020, subject to regulatory and shareholder approval. Upon closing, the combined company intends to pay an annual dividend of $1 per share, subject to approval by its board of directors.
Independent Bank Group Chairman and CEO David Brooks will lead the merged business, with Cargill serving as his special advisor.
"This combination with Texas Capital is a singular opportunity to significantly diversify our customer base, business lines, and loan concentrations, enabling us to accelerate our growth and enhance our financial flexibility for continued strategic investments," Brooks said.
