Dow Jones Description
We are a Conway, Arkansas headquartered bank holding company registered under the federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. In 1998, an investor group led by John W. Allison, our Chairman and CEO, and Robert H. Bunny Adcock, Jr., our Vice Chairman formed Home BancShares, Inc. After obtaining a bank charter, we established First State Bank in Conway, Arkansas, in 1999. We acquired and integrated Community Bank, Bank of Mountain View and Centennial Bank in 2003, 2005 and 2008, respectively. Home BancShares and its founders were also involved in the formation of Twin City Bank and Marine Bank, both of which we acquired and integrated in 2005. Our bank subsidiaries provide a broad range of commercial and retail banking and related financial services to businesses, real estate developers and investors, individuals and municipalities. They have locations in central Arkansas, north central Arkansas, southern Arkansas, the Florida Keys and southwestern Florida. During 2008, we announced plans to combine the charters of our banks into a single charter and adopt Centennial Bank as the common name. This combination is in process and is expected to be completed by the middle of 2009. We acquire, organize and invest in community banks that serve attractive markets. Our community banking team is built around experienced bankers with strong local relationships.
