About Limestone Bancorp, INC.

Limestone Bancorp, Inc. (LMST) was a U.S. bank holding company historically listed on the Nasdaq market in the United States. Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, the company served as the parent of Limestone Bank, a Kentucky community bank with a locally focused franchise. Its business model was typical of a regional banking platform: deposit gathering, commercial and consumer lending, and a broad set of relationship-driven banking services for households and businesses. The company’s footprint was concentrated in Kentucky, with banking centers across several urban and semi-urban markets in the state, giving it a combination of local density and limited regional diversification. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1358356/000143774923004906/lmst20221231_10k.htm?utm_source=openai)) Operationally, Limestone Bancorp offered a core suite of retail and business banking products, including checking and savings accounts, commercial loans, commercial real estate lending, consumer credit, and standard treasury or cash-management-style services. Management historically emphasized relationship banking, local market knowledge, and disciplined credit underwriting. In earlier investor materials, the company highlighted improvements in loan quality, funding mix, and profitability metrics as important strategic priorities. That profile positioned LMST as a classic community/regional bank rather than a diversified financial conglomerate. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1358356/000115752322000963/a52794952ex99_1.htm)) From a competitive standpoint, Limestone Bank operated as a mid-sized Kentucky franchise competing against larger national banks and other regional institutions with broader capital resources, wider branch networks, and more advanced technology platforms. Its edge was rooted in customer proximity, local decision-making, and long-standing commercial relationships within its core markets. The company’s strategy centered on organic growth in its existing footprint, selective expansion, and prudent balance-sheet management rather than nationwide scaling. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1358356/000115752322000963/a52794952ex99_1.htm)) A key recent development is that Limestone Bancorp is no longer an independent listed company. It was acquired by Peoples Bancorp Inc., and the merger closed on April 30, 2023. As a result, LMST ceased trading as a standalone public equity. That matters for investors tracking SEC Form 4 insider activity: any reference to LMST now belongs to the historical record rather than to an active Nasdaq-listed issuer. In practical terms, LMST should be viewed as a former Kentucky banking name within the U.S. regional banking sector, relevant mainly for legacy filings, transaction history, and peer comparison work.
