Third Coast Bancshares addresses merger disclosure challenges

Third Coast Bancshares ( (TCBX) ) just unveiled an announcement.

On October 22, 2025, Third Coast Bancshares, Inc. agreed to a reorganization with Keystone Bancshares, Inc., and, following the effectiveness of its Form S-4 on December 19, 2025, it scheduled special shareholder meetings for January 23 and January 29, 2026, for Third Coast and Keystone investors, respectively, to vote on the proposed merger. Between December 4, 2025, and January 16, 2026, Third Coast received four demand letters from purported shareholders alleging that the joint proxy statement/prospectus omitted material information, but the company and Keystone rejected the claims while nonetheless issuing supplemental disclosures that expand detail on Raymond James’ valuation work, comparable company and transaction analyses, projected financials, and fee arrangements, in order to neutralize the disclosure challenges without altering the merger terms or meeting timetable; the pro forma analysis indicated modest dilution to tangible book value at March 31, 2026, but earnings accretion in 2027 and 2028, suggesting a financially favorable profile for the combined bank despite the disclosure dispute.

The most recent analyst rating on (TCBX) stock is a Buy with a $47.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Third Coast Bancshares stock, see the TCBX Stock Forecast page.
