Transactions

Sheshunoff & Co. Investment Banking announces Treaty Oak Bank ($119 million in assets) has agreed to merge with Carlile Bancshares, a shelf charter organization. Sheshunoff & Co. served as the exclusive financial advisor to Treaty Oak. This was Carlile’s first bank acquisition.\r\n\r\nThis represents the sixth transaction announced by Sheshunoff in five months, evidence that bank merger activity is on the rise, especially in the southwest. Buyers are beginning to show confidence in the future of community banking and capitalizing on opportunities as they appear.
