Form 8-K reports furnish quarterly earnings releases, Regulation FD disclosures, material-event updates, and completed acquisition activity, including merger documentation for bank-holding-company and subsidiary-bank transactions.
Proxy and shareholder-meeting filings cover board elections, advisory compensation votes, director appointments, executive compensation, equity award disclosure, and other governance matters.

Home BancShares, Inc. plans an all-stock acquisition of Mountain Commerce Bancorp, Inc., issuing approximately 5.4 million HOMB shares for MCBI shareholders, for an estimated transaction value of about $154.8 million. Each MCBI share will convert into 0.85 shares of Home common stock, with cash only for fractional shares and for holders exercising Tennessee dissenters’ rights.
The merger will occur through a series of steps in which MCBI ultimately merges into Home and Mountain Commerce Bank merges into Centennial Bank. A special meeting of MCBI shareholders is scheduled for March 11, 2026, with a record date of January 28, 2026, to vote on the merger and a possible adjournment. MCBI’s board unanimously recommends voting in favor, and certain directors and executives have voting agreements.
The parties expect the deal to qualify as a tax-free “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, aside from cash in lieu of fractional shares or paid to dissenting shareholders. Completion requires shareholder approval and multiple bank regulatory approvals, and is targeted for the first half of 2026, though there is no guarantee it will close.
