Together, we will be able to enhance our values and vision to better serve our customers, employees, and communities. As of this announcement, our day-to-day operations will remain the same and we will continue to conduct business as usual. Please continue to contact your banking officer that you know and trust for all your financial needs. FAQ How will the announcement of the merger impact me at this time? The announcement of the merger will have no immediate impact on you. Please continue to conduct your banking with us as you have always done. We will maintain normal business operations and will continue to provide you with the same high-level service and support. How will the merger impact me after the close date? We expect the merger to close in the second quarter of 2022. A close date is simply when the legal combination is effective. This date is always subject to change, and we will continue to operate as two separate banks until we have reached closing. After close, it will take several months before we are fully integrated with Allegiance. We are committed to providing you timely communications throughout the transition. Can you tell me more about Allegiance Bank? Since 2007, Allegiance has been serving the Greater Houston area and neighboring communities by providing full-service banking solutions to serve the needs of owner-operated businesses, professionals, and individual customers. Allegiance operates 27 full-service banking locations in the greater Houston region. Why are we merging with Allegiance Bank? Our complementary culture and values make for an ideal partnership. Collectively, we have a shared vision in our commitment to a high level of service, our approach in building strong, long-term relationships, and a spirit of giving back to our communities. Together, we will be creating a premier Texas franchise, putting us in an even better position to serve your financial needs. As we move forward together, we are creating a stronger organization with enhanced abilities to provide an even better banking experience. Who should I contact with any questions? Please do not hesitate to contact your local banking officer with any questions.
