HBT Financial, Inc. entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Tri-County Financial Group, Inc., parent of First State Bank, in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at approximately $204.6 million based on HBT’s $36.35 share price on August 7, 2026. TYFG shareholders may elect 2.4589 HBT shares, $71.01 in cash, or a mix per TYFG share, subject to election and proration, with an expected aggregate mix of about $59.9 million in cash and 3.8 million HBT shares. The deal implies $82.89 per TYFG share, and TYFG holders are expected to own roughly 9% of HBT common stock post-closing.
On a pro forma basis the combined company is expected to have about $8.3 billion in assets, $6.0 billion in loans, and $7.1 billion in deposits. HBT projects 11.1% EPS accretion in the first full year with expected cost saves, against 2.4% tangible book value dilution at close and an earnback of less than one year using the crossover method.

Prescott is expected to join the boards of HBT and Heartland Bank at closing.
