ACNB Corporation (NASDAQ: ACNB), the parent
financial holding company of ACNB Bank, a Pennsylvania
state-chartered, FDIC-insured community bank, headquartered in
Gettysburg, PA, announced the completion of the acquisition of
Traditions Bancorp, Inc. (“Traditions”) and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Traditions Bank, headquartered in York, PA, effective
February 1, 2025. Traditions was merged with and into a
wholly-owned subsidiary of ACNB Corporation immediately followed by
the merger of Traditions Bank with and into ACNB Bank. ACNB Bank
will operate the former Traditions Bank branches as “Traditions
Bank, A Division of ACNB Bank”. In connection with the close of the
acquisition, Traditions stockholders received 0.7300 shares of ACNB
Corporation common stock for each share of Traditions common stock
that they owned as of the closing date, with cash paid in lieu of
fractional shares.
In addition, at the close of the acquisition,
three former Traditions directors, Eugene J. Draganosky, Elizabeth
F. Carson, and John M. Polli, joined the Boards of Directors of
ACNB Corporation and ACNB Bank. Mr. Draganosky has nearly 40 years
of banking experience, and is the former CEO and Chair of the Board
of Traditions and Traditions Bank, having held those roles since
2017 and 2023, respectively. Ms. Carson, Lead Independent Director
of Traditions, joined the Traditions Bank Board in 2015, after over
30 years of banking experience in a variety of leadership roles
with community and regional banks. Mr. Polli was a member of the
Traditions Bank board of directors since its founding in 2002, and
has nearly 40 years of diverse business expertise, from serving as
a public accountant to owning, managing, and advising businesses in
the transportation, real estate, and insurance industries.
With the combination of the two organizations,
and based on financial information for each organization as of
December 31, 2024, ACNB Corporation will have approximately $3.26
billion in assets, $2.54 billion in deposits, and $2.36 billion in
loans, and will serve its customers throughout 35 community banking
offices in south central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland.
“We are pleased to announce the completion of
our strategic acquisition of Traditions Bancorp, and excited to
unite our teams of dedicated local bankers who are committed to
their customers and communities,” stated ACNB Corporation President
& Chief Executive Officer James P. Helt. “This combination
brings together organizations that are unified by a shared vision,
values, and a customer-centric approach to banking, to create an
even stronger community bank. Importantly, our customers will
benefit from expanded products and services delivered by the
familiar faces they have come to know and trust. This merger
positions us well to continue to grow in the attractive York and
Lancaster County markets, and enhances ACNB Bank’s mortgage
operations, which will now serve customers throughout our footprint
as ‘Traditions Mortgage, A Division of ACNB Bank.’ Together, we
look forward to continuing to deliver on our vision of being the
financial services provider of choice in the communities we
serve.”
Alan J. Stock, Chair of the Board of ACNB,
stated “We welcome Mr. Draganosky, Ms. Carson, and Mr. Polli to the
ACNB Boards of Directors, and are confident that their expertise,
skills, and strong connections to the York and Lancaster market
areas will enhance and complement ACNB’s current Boards of
Directors. We are committed to enhancing value for our shareholders
and are poised to deliver on that commitment with an experienced
and knowledgeable board, a seasoned management group, and a team of
bankers and professionals dedicated to a successful integration and
customer experience.”
