MainSource Financial Group of Greensburg, Ind., has agreed to buy five Indiana branches from First Financial Bancorp of Hamilton, Ohio.
The price was not disclosed. The deal, announced Tuesday, would give the $1.9 billion-asset MainSource its first branch in Union County and more branches in Jefferson and Switzerland counties, where it already has nine in all.
First Financial, which has $3.7 billion of assets, is selling the branches as part of a broad restructuring. The five branches have $30 million of loans and $56 million of deposits.
The deal is expected to close in the third quarter.
