Power of Attorney
Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby constitutes and
appoints each of Brad S. Elliott and Gregory H. Kossover, signing singly, the
undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:
(1) prepare, execute in the undersigned's name and on the
undersigned's behalf, and submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") a Form ID, including amendments thereto, and
any other documents necessary or appropriate to obtain codes and
passwords enabling the undersigned to make electronic filings with the
SEC of reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and
regulations thereunder;
(2) execute for and on behalf of the undersigned Forms 3, 4 and 5
(including amendments thereto) in accordance with Section 16(a) of the
Exchange, and the rules and regulations thereunder;
(3) do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the
undersigned that may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute
any such Form 3, 4 or 5, complete and execute any amendment or
amendments thereto, file that Form with the SEC and any stock exchange
or similar authority, and provide a copy as required by law or
advisable to such persons as the attorney-in-fact deems appropriate;
and
(4) take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with
the foregoing that, in the opinion of the attorney-in-fact, may be of
benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally required of the
undersigned, it being understood that the documents executed by the
attorney-in-fact on behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power
of Attorney will be in such form and will contain such terms and
conditions as the attorney-in-fact may approve in the attorney-in-
fact's discretion.
The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power
and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever
requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights
and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the
undersigned might or could do if personally present, with full power of
substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that the
attorney-in-fact, or the attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, will
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the
rights and powers herein granted. The undersigned acknowledges that the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact, and their substitutes, in serving in such capacity
at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming, nor is Equity Bancshares,
Inc., any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the
Exchange Act.
The undersigned agrees that each such attorney-in-fact may rely entirely on
information furnished orally or in writing by or at the direction of the
undersigned to the attorney-in-fact. The undersigned also agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless Equity Bancshares, Inc. and each such attorney-in-fact against
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in these respects) that
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statements or omissions of necessary
facts in the information provided by or at the direction of the undersigned, or
upon the lack of timeliness in the delivery of information by or at the
direction of the undersigned, to that attorney-in-fact for purposes of
executing, acknowledging, delivering or filing any Form 3, 4 or 5 (including any
amendment thereto) and agrees to reimburse Equity Bancshares, Inc. and the
attorney-in-fact on demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action.
This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4 and 5 with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by Equity
Bancshares, Inc., unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing
delivered to the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of the date written below.
