In 1998, an investor group led by John W. Allison, our Chairman, and Robert H. "Bunny" Adcock, Jr., our Vice Chairman formed Home BancShares, Inc. headquartered in Conway, Arkansas. After obtaining a bank charter, we established First State Bank in Conway, Arkansas, in 1999. We acquired and integrated Community Bank, Bank of Mountain View and Centennial Bank in 2003, 2005 and 2008, respectively. Home BancShares and its founders were also involved in the formation of Twin City Bank and Marine Bank, both of which we acquired and integrated in 2005.

In 2009, we completed the combination of our bank charters into one charter. The new name that the bank now commonly holds is Centennial Bank.

In March of 2010, we acquired the banking operations of Old Southern Bank and Key West Bank through a loss-sharing agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. All of the offices of Old Southern Bank and Key West Bank immediately began operating as branches of Centennial Bank.

Centennial Bank provides a broad range of commercial and retail banking plus related financial services to businesses, real estate developers, investors, individuals and municipalities. Centennial Bank has locations in central Arkansas, north central Arkansas, southern Arkansas, the Florida Keys, central Florida and southwestern Florida.

We acquire, organize and invest in community banks that serve attractive markets. Our community banking team is built around experienced bankers with strong local relationships.

The Company's common stock is traded through the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "HOMB."
