Summary

Hawthorn Bancshares cleared a critical milestone in its acquisition of FSC Bancshares, announced April 29, 2026. As of July 10, the company and its wholly owned subsidiary Hawthorn Bank received all required regulatory approvals and non-objections from banking authorities. The transaction now depends on FSC shareholder approval and customary closing conditions, with completion targeted for the third quarter of 2026.

Regulatory clearance removes a major uncertainty for the deal. Retail holders should watch for the FSC shareholder vote outcome and any updates on integration planning as the expected close date approaches. The acquisition's strategic rationale and financial terms were disclosed in the original April announcement.
