BRITTON & KOONTZ FNB TO ACQUIRE TWO UNION PLANTERS BANK OFFICES
Natchez, Mississippi-- Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation and
Union Planters Bank jointly announced the signing of an
agreement for Britton & Koontz to acquire the deposit and loan
accounts of the two Union Planters Bank Natchez offices located
at 513 State Street and 148 North Shields Lane, respectively.
The acquisition, which is subject to regulatory approval, is
anticipated to occur prior to December 31, 1998.
"Britton & Koontz has been a member of the Natchez business
community for many generations. With three existing bank
offices in Natchez, we are committed to serving the people of
Adams County and look forward to serving our new Union Planters'
customers." said Page Ogden, President & Chief Executive Officer
of Britton & Koontz. "The transition for Union Planters Bank
customers will be a very smooth one."
"The decision to discontinue our Natchez operation was reached
after much deliberation," said Lou Ann Poynter, Regional
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Union Planters Bank. "We
feel that our Natchez customers will be very pleased with the
services that are available with Britton & Koontz."
Customers will be notified immediately and a transfer date
established. It is anticipated that this transaction will be
completed prior to year end. In the meantime, UP customers
should conduct business as usual at the Union Planters Bank
offices in Natchez.
Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation, headquartered in Natchez,
Mississippi, is the parent company of Britton & Koontz First
National Bank which operates three full service offices in
Natchez and is expected to have assets exceeding $180 million
after the acquisition.
