Happy Bancshares, a bank holding company, agreed to merge with Home BancShares for $919m. "Happy State Bank is excited to join forces with one of the top-performing banks in the country. Centennial Bank is one of the few banks that has grown even faster and stronger than Happy, and with a similar mix of serving both small towns and metropolitan areas, they check every box when it comes to taking care of customers, stockholders and employees. It’s just a great match. I have to say it…we’re happy to be joining the HOMB team," J. Pat Hickman, Happy Bancshares Chairman.
