Calk 2025 Trust’s application to become a savings and loan holding company by acquiring National Bancorp Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary, The Federal Savings Bank. The Board determined that the transaction satisfies competitive, financial, and managerial requirements, noting that the resulting entity remains well capitalized, faces no significant antitrust concerns, and requires no operational integration.
