“The F.N.B. Corp. merger with Howard Bank once again shows that the Baltimore region is a great place to launch and grow a company that is attractive to investors. While the merger is a loss of local control of a home-grown company, Howard Bank’s shareholders, customers and F.N.B. are sure to benefit from this strategic purchase. Howard Bank’s CEO, Mary Ann Scully, is to be highly commended for leading and growing the institution into a valuable financial powerhouse that has contributed much to communities throughout the region and the overall economy.”
