Capital Bank is joining Peoples Bancorp

To our customers –

On September 30, we announced that Peoples Bancorp has agreed to acquire Capital Bancorp, the parent company of Capital Bank. When the transaction is complete, Capital Bank will become part of Peoples Bank.

I believe this combination brings together strengths that will serve our customers well: the relationships and specialized expertise our team has built at Capital Bank, supported by Peoples’ broader banking and financial services platform. We are excited about the opportunity to do more for you as we bring our organizations together.

The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2027, subject to required approvals and other closing conditions. For now, please continue banking with us as you normally do. No action is needed. Your Capital Bank team remains available, and we will communicate with you before any future changes affect how you bank.

Thank you for the trust you place in us. We value the relationships we have built with you and look forward to serving you through this next chapter.

Ed Barry
Chief Executive Officer
Capital Bancorp, Inc.
