First Mid-Illinois Bancshares Amends Credit Facility for Merger

First Mid-Illinois Bancshares ( (FMBH) ) has provided an update.

On February 19, 2026, First Mid Bancshares, Inc. entered into a Tenth Amendment to its Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with The Northern Trust Company, which evidences a $15 million revolving loan facility. Under this amendment, Northern Trust consented to certain matters related to First Mid’s pending merger acquisition of Iowa-based Two Rivers Financial Group, Inc., smoothing a key financing relationship as the transaction progresses.

The credit amendment supports the broader merger process that has been advancing through regulatory and shareholder steps, including a registration statement on Form S-4 declared effective on January 16, 2026, and a final proxy statement/prospectus mailed to Two Rivers shareholders on January 23, 2026. By securing lender consent and moving the proxy process forward, First Mid is positioning itself to integrate Two Rivers’ operations, subject to remaining approvals and closing conditions, which could expand its franchise and competitive footprint in its regional banking markets.

The most recent analyst rating on (FMBH) stock is a Buy with a $50.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on First Mid-Illinois Bancshares stock, see the FMBH Stock Forecast page.
