The $1.4 billion-asset Fidelity Southern has not made a whole-bank acquisition in its 31-year history. In 1996 it agreed to acquire the $25 million-asset Friendship Community Bank in Ocala, Fla., but the deal was called off at the last minute.
Fidelity Southern also said in the Securities and Exchange Commission filing that third-quarter earnings rose 16.8% from the same quarter last year, to $2.8 million.
