This a change in legal structure. It is in no way a move from community banking. ... We'll still be as focused on our communities and our customers as we've ever been. Hopefully. we'll be able to serve them even better.

It's amazing, the time and money we have to spend. ... It's a very inefficient way to operate.

It'll be the same great people doing the same great job.

Beginning with our first bank in 1987, we have been committed to serving our markets in the true spirit of community banking. We are committed to delivering high quality banking products and services to our customers and thereby enhancing shareholder value, as these are our core values. We are convinced that the value of our franchise and our success springs from that commitment. We are excited about joining our forces under one bank banner, and believe that the excitement will continue to grow as we move forward with our one bank plan.
