Merger with Glacier Bancorp, Inc. and end of separate listing

Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. underwent a significant corporate change in 2025. On June 24, 2025, the company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Guaranty Bank & Trust, N.A., entered into a Plan and Agreement of Merger with Glacier Bancorp, Inc. and Glacier Bank, as disclosed in a Form 8-K filed on June 25, 2025.

A Form 8-K filed on October 1, 2025, reports that on October 1, 2025, the merger of Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. with and into Glacier Bancorp, Inc. was consummated, with Glacier Bancorp surviving the merger. Immediately after that merger, Guaranty Bank & Trust, N.A. merged with and into Glacier Bank, with Glacier Bank surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Glacier Bancorp, Inc. The same filing notes that at the effective time, each outstanding share of GNTY common stock was converted into the right to receive the agreed stock consideration in Glacier Bancorp, Inc.
