Heritage Southeast Bancorporation, Inc announced that HSBI, Heritage Southeast Bank and VyStar Credit Union have mutually agreed to extend the time available to obtain regulatory approvals, satisfy other closing conditions and prepare for a smooth transition of HSBI’s business to VyStar, by waiving their respective rights to terminate the purchase agreement until March 31, 2022. This waiver aligns with the terms originally negotiated in the purchase agreement, which provides for an outside date of March 31, 2022, if receipt of regulatory approvals remains the only material outstanding condition to closing.
HSBI, Heritage Southeast Bank and VyStar each continue to pursue regulatory approvals from the FDIC, the NCUA, the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance and the Florida Office of Financial Regulation.
