Northwest plans to use some of the proceeds to complete its acquisition of Fairfield Financial Holdings, which was announced in late June.

The purchasers were "insiders" and existing Northwest shareholders, including Harlan Douglass, a director. Castle Creek Capital and Concentric Equity Partners also participated in the offering.
