NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 13, 2026--

Sterlington advised the management team of National Bank Holdings Corporation (NYSE: NBHC) in connection with its acquisition of Vista Bancshares, Inc. and Vista Bank. The transaction has now closed.

The transaction expands NBHC’s footprint into key growth markets including Dallas-Ft. Worth, Austin, Lubbock, and Palm Beach, and positions the combined organisation with approximately $12.6 billion in pro forma assets.

The work reflects Sterlington’s ongoing representation of management teams in complex corporate matters, including many in the financial institutions industry. For FY2025, Sterlington was the third ranked firm for U.S. targets and sellers in sponsor M&A exit transactions by deal value in Mergermarket’s FY2025 league tables.

Partners Jeremy L. Goldstein, Christopher S. Harrison, and Kristy Fields led the Sterlington team in the transaction.
