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, Tulsa, Oklahoma. 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.
Concurrently with the foregoing application, MapleMark Bank filed an application to the Texas Department of Banking for permission to convert MapleMark Bank from an Oklahoma state-chartered member bank with its main office in Tulsa, Oklahoma to a Texas state-chartered member bank with its main office in Dallas, Texas. No change in branch locations is anticipated through the conversion. Both applications are anticipated to be effective concurrently.
Any person wishing to comment on the above-mentioned application to the Texas Department of Banking, either for or against, may file written comments with the Texas Department of Banking, 2601 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78705-4294 on or before the 14th day after the date of this publication. Such comments will be made a part of the record before and considered by the banking commissioner. Any person wishing to formally protest and oppose the conversion application and participate in the application process may do so by filing a written notice of protest with the Texas Department of Banking on or before the 14th calendar day after the date of this publication accompanied by a protest filing fee of $2,500. The protest fee may be reduced or waived by the banking commissioner upon a showing of substantial hardship.
