HBT Financial is proposing to acquire CNB Bank Shares in a cash‑and‑stock merger. CNB shareholders will vote at a special meeting on January 26, 2026 in Carlinville, Illinois on adopting the merger agreement.
Each CNB common share will be converted into either 1.0434 HBT shares, $27.73 in cash, or a mix of cash and stock, subject to proration so that total cash paid is about $33.8 million and total stock issued is about 5.51 million HBT shares. Based on recent HBT prices, the deal implies transaction values in the mid‑$160 million to mid‑$180 million range.
CNB shareholders who do not support the merger may seek dissenters’ rights under Illinois law to receive cash at “fair value.” CNB’s board unanimously recommends voting in favor, and holders of about 25.42% of CNB common stock plus the sole preferred holder have agreed to support the deal. After closing, former CNB holders are expected to own roughly 15% of HBT.
