Xenith Acquisition
On January 1, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of Xenith, a bank holding company based in Richmond, Virginia. Holders of shares of Xenith's common stock received 0.9354 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for each share of Xenith's common stock, resulting in the Company issuing 21,922,077 shares of the Company's common stock at a fair value of $794.8 million. In addition, the Company paid $6.2 million in exchange for Xenith's outstanding stock options.

The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition, in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. Measurement period adjustments that were made in the fourth quarter of 2018 include immaterial changes due to finalizing estimates of fair value for loans, fixed assets, leases, and deferred taxes. Purchase accounting has been finalized for this acquisition; the measurement period is closed. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company currently estimates that the amortizable intangibles assets will be amortized over 10 years using sum-of-years digits. The following table provides an assessment of the consideration transferred, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition (dollars in thousands):

The acquired loans were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date without carryover of Xenith’s previously established ALL. The fair value of the loans was determined using market participant assumptions in estimating the amount and timing of both principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected on the loans and leases and then applying a market-based discount rate to those cash flows. In this regard, the acquired loans were segregated into pools based on loan type and credit risk. Loan type was determined based on collateral type, purpose, and lien position. Credit risk characteristics included risk rating groups (pass rated loans and adversely classified loans) and past due status. For valuation purposes, these pools were further disaggregated by maturity, pricing characteristics (e.g., fixed-rate, adjustable-rate) and re-payment structure (e.g., interest only, fully amortizing, balloon).

The acquired loans were divided into loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration which are accounted for under ASC 310-30, Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, (acquired impaired) and loans that do not meet these criteria, which are accounted for under ASC 310-20, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, (acquired performing). The fair values of the acquired performing loans were $2.4 billion and the fair values of the acquired impaired loans were $79.3 million. The gross contractually required principal and interest payments receivable for acquired performing loans was $2.7 billion. The best estimate of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected related to the acquired performing loans is $20.6 million.

The following table presents certain pro forma information as if Xenith had been acquired on January 1, 2016. These results combine the historical results of Xenith in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2016. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the amount of Xenith’s provision for credit losses that would not have been necessary had the acquired loans been recorded at fair value as of January 1, 2016. Pro forma adjustments below include the net impact of accretion as well as the elimination of merger-related costs. The Company expects to achieve further operating cost savings and other business synergies, including branch closures, as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts below (dollars in thousands):
