"The Company's growth over the past year is noteworthy as it represents core organic growth that is fundamental to our success," stated President and Chief Executive Officer Brian K. Plum. "This growth demonstrates the continued opportunity available in our existing markets, and when combined with our new division in North Carolina, Carolina State Bank, we are well positioned to take advantage of these prospects."
"The first quarter of 2019 was essential in setting the groundwork for our success this year, and significant focus went into the successful completion of a private placement common stock offering where the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $23.4 million in additional capital. This capital is crucial in carrying out the Company's vision and will support continued meaningful growth and key strategic initiatives."
