TowneBank Enhances North Carolina Presence Through Agreement To Acquire blueharbor bank

Hampton Roads based TowneBank (NASDAQ: TOWN) and Mooresville based blueharbor bank (OTCQX: BLHK) (“blueharbor”), today announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which TowneBank will acquire blueharbor for approximately $154 million, based on TowneBank’s 10-day volume-weighted average price of $36.15 as of October 2, 2026. The proposed transaction will enhance TowneBank’s position in the greater Charlotte MSA as well as the fast-growing I-77 corridor including Mooresville and Statesville. The combination brings together blueharbor’s strong local lending and core deposit relationships with TowneBank’s broader resources, creating a stronger platform to serve customers across the region. The transaction is expected to further leverage TowneBank’s recent expansion throughout the Carolina markets.

As of June 30, 2026, blueharbor had total assets of approximately $628 million, loans of approximately $537 million, deposits of approximately $551 million, and 5 office locations.
