Interactive Q&A: Ted Awerkamp, President and CEO of Mercantile Bancorp

Ted:

I have read about your de novo bank investing strategy and that Mercantile wholly owns community banks in a variety of areas outside of your core market. Given the lending and interest rate environments, do you see any additional acquisition or investment opportunities for MBR? Do you think that the current climate has created a number of sellers in the community banking arena?

Thanks,
Ezra
