I am very excited to be able to announce the merger of F&M Bancorporation Inc. with Prosperity, stated David Zalman, Chairman and CEO of Prosperity. We have known Tony and Eric for over ten years and hoped that a day would come when we would become partners. F&M Bank has a rich background, with over 68 years of banking history in the Tulsa market. Tony Davis, Eric Davis and Jeff Pickryl have extensive experience in both the Tulsa and Dallas markets and we are excited that they and their team will be joining us to continue to build and grow our company in the those vibrant markets. F&M Bank has an attractive core deposit base and a focus in Commercial and Industrial lending.

Joining Prosperity will accelerate and augment our ability to meet the expanding needs of our customers while maintaining strong commitments to the markets we serve, added Eric Davis, President of FMBC.
