Suburban, Huntley State Banl(s IVIerge
Yesterday Huntley Bancshares stockholders approved Huntley's merger into Suburban Bancorp, Inc. (SUBBA). Suburban and Huntley previously received required regulatory approval to merge Huntley Bancshares into Suburban.
Completion of the merger is expected in July 1993, according to Suburban Bancorp President Gerald F. Fitzgerald, Jr. and Huntley Bancshares Chairman Wayne M. Miller. The State Bank of Huntley will become the thirteenth community bank in Suburban's multibank organi¬ zation.
Following the merger, the State Bank of Huntley will operate under its present name, continuing as a community-responsive bank consistent with Suburban's banking philosophy, accord¬ ing to Fitzgerald.
The merger will create a $1.25 billion asset multi- bank holding company.
The merger will give Suburban its fourth bank with a total of eight offices in rapidly expanding McHenry County. Overall Suburban will have 30 bank offices in the north, northwest and west corridors outside Chicago.
