In Brief: Montana's Glacier in $14M Deal for Hub

Glacier Bancorp, Kalispell, Mont., has agreed to buy Hub Financial Corp., Helena, for about $13.6 million of stock, the company announced last week.

Glacier, with $575 million of assets, operates four community banks in 13 Montana communities. Buying Hub Financial, the parent of Valley Bank of Helena, would give Glacier a presence in the state capital, said Glacier president and chief executive officer John S. MacMillan. He said that Valley Bank, like Glacier's other subsidiaries, would retain its name and staff.

Glacier would issue 620,000 shares of its stock to shareholders of $70 million-asset Hub Financial in exchange for 100% ownership. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter.
