About Spirit of Texas Bancshares, Inc.

Spirit of Texas Bancshares, Inc. (ticker: STXB) was a U.S. banking company that was historically listed on the NASDAQ market in the United States before being acquired by Simmons First National Corporation, a transaction completed on April 8, 2022. For international investors, especially those in French-speaking Europe, STXB is therefore best understood as a former standalone listed bank holding company whose SEC filings, including Form 4 insider transaction reports, remain relevant for historical analysis rather than for ongoing public-market trading. At the time it operated as an independent company, Spirit of Texas Bancshares served as the holding company for Spirit of Texas Bank SSB, a Texas-based community bank headquartered in Conroe, Texas. Its business model was centered on traditional banking activities: deposit gathering, commercial lending, commercial real estate lending, owner-occupied real estate finance, consumer banking, and treasury-oriented services for businesses. The franchise was built around local decision-making, relationship banking, and a strong focus on small and mid-sized businesses, entrepreneurs, and households in its core markets. Spirit of Texas’ competitive position was that of a regional/community bank with a distinctly Texas footprint. It did not compete as a national money-center institution; instead, it relied on proximity, local underwriting expertise, and customer service to win share. That positioning gave it relevance in fast-growing Texas markets, but it also exposed the company to intense competition from larger regional banks, more diversified institutions, and digitally scaled lenders. In that sense, the company fit the broader consolidation pattern that has characterized the U.S. banking industry. Geographically, the bank was concentrated in major Texas economic corridors. Prior to the merger, Spirit operated branches primarily across the Texas Triangle, including Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio, with additional locations in markets such as Bryan-College Station, Corpus Christi, and Tyler. This footprint gave the bank exposure to some of the most attractive demographic and business-growth regions in the United States. A major recent corporate milestone was the November 2021 announcement of the merger agreement with Simmons First National Corporation, followed by completion in April 2022. That deal effectively ended STXB’s independent public listing on the NASDAQ and transferred its banking platform into Simmons’ larger operating network. From an equity-research perspective, Spirit of Texas Bancshares is therefore primarily a historical case study in Texas banking, regional consolidation, and SEC insider-trading documentation rather than an active listed issuer today.
