HOUSTON AND SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, October 1, 2025. Prosperity Bancshares, Inc.® (NYSE: PB) (“Prosperity”), the parent company of Prosperity Bank®, and Southwest Bancshares, Inc. (“Southwest”), the parent holding company of Texas Partners Bank (“Texas Partners”), headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, today jointly announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement whereby Prosperity will acquire Southwest and Texas Partners.

Texas Partners operates eleven (11) banking offices in Central Texas including its main office in San Antonio, and banking offices in the San Antonio area, Austin and the Hill Country. As of June 30, 2025, Southwest, on a consolidated basis, reported total assets of $2.4 billion, total loans of $1.9 billion and total deposits of $2.1 billion.

Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the definitive agreement, Prosperity will issue 4,062,520 shares of Prosperity common stock for all outstanding shares of Southwest common stock and restricted stock awards, subject to certain potential adjustments. Southwest warrants and in-the-money Southwest stock options that are outstanding at the closing will be converted into cash payments based on the value of the merger consideration (less the applicable exercise price), as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Based on Prosperity’s closing price of $65.97 on September 29, 2025, the total consideration was valued at approximately $268.9 million.

Combined with the American Bank acquisition, we will have ten (10) banking centers in the San Antonio area, expand into Kerrville and Bandera, Texas and enhance our presence in Austin, Fredericksburg and New Braunfels. The customers of Texas Partners will be able to use any of our locations across Texas and Oklahoma after operational integration.”
