An update from Burke & Herbert Bank & Company ( (BHRB) ) is now available.
On December 18, 2025, Burke & Herbert Financial Services Corp. and Pennsylvania-based LINKBANCORP, Inc. signed a definitive merger agreement under which LINKBANCORP will merge into Burke & Herbert in an all-stock transaction, followed immediately by the merger of LINKBANK into Burke & Herbert Bank & Trust Company, with Burke & Herbert and its bank remaining the surviving entities. Each share of LINKBANCORP common stock will be converted into 0.1350 shares of Burke & Herbert common stock in a transaction structured as a tax-free reorganization, with detailed treatment laid out for LNKB restricted stock, RSUs, options and warrants, including full vesting of most equity awards and the assumption of options and warrants by Burke & Herbert. Governance arrangements will expand Burke & Herbert’s boards to add directors from LINKBANCORP and bring senior LNKB and LINK executives into key roles at the surviving bank, reinforcing continuity and market expertise as Burke & Herbert deepens its footprint, particularly in Pennsylvania. The deal, unanimously approved by both boards, remains subject to shareholder approvals, multiple bank regulatory clearances, effectiveness of a registration statement and other customary closing conditions, and includes reciprocal support agreements from directors of both companies and a $14.2 million termination fee, signaling a strong commitment to completing a strategic combination that could enhance scale and competitive positioning in the regional banking sector. Separately, on December 18, 2025, Burke & Herbert amended and restated its bylaws to fix the board size between five and fifteen directors and to remove legacy provisions tied to its prior merger with Summit Financial Group, further aligning its governance structure with its current and prospective post-transaction profile.
