FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JANUARY 20, 1998
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT BURLIN COLEMAN, CHAIRMAN,
COMMUNITY TRUST BANCORP, INC., AT 606-437-3276
Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. has entered into
agreements to sell seven of the seventeen West Virginia
offices it is acquiring from Bank One. Five offices located
in Point Pleasant and New Martinsville with total deposits
of approximately $125,000,000 will be sold to Peoples
Banking and Trust Company, a subsidiary of Peoples Bancorp
Inc., Marietta, Ohio, and two offices located in Charles
Town and Shepardstown with approximately $67,000,000 in
deposits will be sold to a subsidiary of United Bankshares,
Charles Town, West Virginia. This announcement came from
Burlin Coleman, Chairman.
Mr. Coleman said these offices located along the Ohio
border and in the Washington D.C. area are the farthest away
from Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. offices in Pikeville,
Kentucky. This leaves Community Trust with seven offices
located in Fort Gay, Hamlin, Williamson, and Summersville
with approximately $220,000,000 in deposits all of which can
be easily serviced from Pikeville. In its previous
announcement, Community Trust stated that Premier Financial
Bancorp, Georgetown, Kentucky, was acquiring three offices
located in Madison and Phillipi.
Both transactions are subject to regulatory approval.
Community Trust Bancorp, Inc. is a $1.8 billion bank
and thrift holding company based in Pikeville, Kentucky.
Its stock trades on the NASDAQ under the symbol CTBI.
