Linkbancorp has scheduled the definitive shareholder vote to approve its proposed all-stock merger with Burke & Herbert Financial Services Corp., marking a pivotal step toward forming a significant new entity in the regional banking landscape.
Key Vote Scheduled for March 2026

Upon completion, current Linkbancorp shareholders are expected to hold an aggregate ownership stake of approximately 25% in the combined institution. The move reflects a broader industry trend toward consolidation, as regional banks seek greater scale and operational efficiency in a competitive market.
