December 2020 M&A Monthly Deals
Given the volatility in publicly-traded bank stocks, many banks are obtaining a mid-year stock valuation to take advantage of opportunities afforded by lower valuations, such as minimizing taxes on transitions of private bank stock. Not to mention the concerns of potential changes in corporate, personal and estate tax rates in the future. Please contact us if we can be of service to you in any way during this transitional time.
If you have any questions or comments about today’s M&A market or would like to discuss various strategies for your institution including opportunities to issue low cost debt or raise new equity, we would enjoy the opportunity to speak with you. Please contact John Adams, Principal & Head of Investment Banking at (512) 703-1561 or jadams@smslp.com.
