On May 22, 2008, the management of Home BancShares, Inc. (“HBI”) approved the combining of the
Bank of Mt. View into Community Bank. This decision is based in part on HBI’s continuing efforts
to improve efficiency and the results of a study conducted for HBI by the Metavante Corporation.
HBI is currently seeking regulatory approval and anticipates the consolidation will be completed in
the next six months. Management of HBI will continue to evaluate its opportunities for improving
efficiencies, including other bank charter consolidations. HBI remains committed to its community
banking philosophy and will continue to rely on local management and boards of directors.
