Hamilton State Bancshares to Acquire Highland Financial Services
Troutman Sanders was mentioned in a May 15 SNL article and a May 22 Marietta Daily Journal article about Hoschton, Georgia-based Hamilton State Bancshares, the parent of Hamilton State Bank, entering into a definitive merger agreement with Marietta, Georgia-based Highland Financial Services. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but pending receipt of all necessary regulatory and Highland shareholder approvals, the transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter.
The combined subsidiary banks will operate under the name Hamilton State Bank.
Atlanta partners Tom Powell, David Ghegan and Atlanta associate Brad Resweber acted as legal advisers to Highland.
