A Hinshaw legal team led by partner Tim Sullivan served as transaction counsel to ROC on the deal.

The deal also involved a reverse stock split to redeem minority shareholders of Oak Bank, so that Oak Bank would be a wholly-owned subsidiary of ROC at the time of closing.

The aggregate proceeds paid to the stockholders of ROC and the shareholders of Oak Bank totalled $54.7 million.
