Exhibit 99.5
WHO ARE BT HOLDINGS, INC. AND BTH BANK?
BT Holdings, Inc. (“BTH”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Quitman, TX. BTH’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, BTH Bank, was founded in 1914 and has a strong foundation within the communities it serves. Like Origin, they have a solid history of stability and service throughout their footprint. Their locations spread throughout East Texas and the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
WHY DID ORIGIN DECIDE TO ENTER THIS AGREEMENT WITH BTH?
Our growth strategy has been tremendously successful over the years and has allowed us to maintain our dynamic culture while expanding into new markets. BTH’s culture, leadership and way of doing business aligns with Origin’s extremely well. Their East Texas locations bridge the I-20 corridor between Shreveport and Dallas-Fort Worth, creating a compelling opportunity for growth in new and existing markets. With approximately $2 billion in assets as of December 31, 2021, the addition of BTH will result in Origin having approximately $9.9B in assets. BTH’s commitment to their customers and communities make this a natural partnership as we aim to increase our presence in Texas.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME AND MY ROLE AT ORIGIN?
We will continue to provide best in class service at every level and will rely on the knowledge and expertise of both Origin and BTH bankers in order to do that. Origin has
never taken a one-size-fits-all approach to banking and will continue to empower our bankers within our markets to do business in a way that builds loyal client relationships. We look forward to offering BTH bankers the same opportunities for personal and professional growth that we as Origin employees enjoy.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
We have executed a definitive agreement to acquire BTH. The next steps will be to obtain shareholder and regulatory approvals. Once approved, expected closing will tentatively take place in the second half of 2022.
