Home BancShares
In 1998, an investor group led by John W. Allison, our Chairman, and Robert H. "Bunny" Adcock, Jr., our Vice Chairman formed Home BancShares, Inc. headquartered in Conway, Arkansas. 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. Between Home BancShares and TCBancorp (a bank holding company in which we were the largest investor, and which we subsequently acquired), we have raised $131.8 million in cash through intrastate offerings of common stock since 1999.
We have recently completed the combination of our bank charters into one charter. The new name that the bank now commonly holds is Centennial Bank.
Centennial Bank provides a broad range of commercial and retail banking plus related financial services to businesses, real estate developers, investors, individuals and municipalities. Centennial Bank has locations in central Arkansas, north central Arkansas, southern Arkansas, the Florida Keys, southwestern Florida, central Florida, and the Florida Panhandle.
We pride ourselves in our community banking philosophy which leads to exceptional service and strong customer relationships. We maintain a strong commitment to the communities we serve through our involvement with and support of local charities. These principles provide a competitive advantage when meeting the needs of our customers, particularly as we compete with large regional and national banks.
Through the loyalty, support and dedication of our customers, shareholders, employees and local board of directors, we will continue to build a successful banking organization with superior customer service.
