(NBC) jointly announced on February 12, 2026 that they have received all requisite regulatory approvals to complete their pending merger (including the merger of their subsidiary banks).

Why It Matters
The filing signals that the transaction has cleared regulatory hurdles and is moving toward closing, but it still requires shareholder approval and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Retail investors in BSNB or NBC should review the joint proxy materials carefully ahead of the March 23, 2026 vote, because the outcome will determine whether the merger completes as planned.
