On or about June 29, 2026, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Toronto, Canada filed an application to the Federal Reserve Board for permission to acquire Maple Financial Holdings, Inc., Dallas, Texas, by merger, and thereby to indirectly acquire MapleMark Bank of Tulsa, Oklahoma (and, upon its conversion from an Oklahoma state-chartered member bank to a Texas state-chartered member bank, which is expected to occur concurrently with the consummation of the acquisition, Dallas, Texas). Following the acquisition, MapleMark Bank will continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of The Bank of Nova Scotia. The Federal Reserve considers a number of factors in deciding whether to approve the application including the record of performance of banks we own in helping to meet local credit needs.
