"Capital gained in these sales will be invested in our high-growth markets in Florida and the Kansas City metropolitan area. We continue to own and operate three Tulsa, Oklahoma, locations and are pleased with our management team, growth and prospects in that market." The combined deposits of the five branches involved in the completed transactions are approximately $336.7 million, with total loans of approximately $345.5 million.
